Truth be told El Senor, I tend to ignore the mass

market depictings of yogis and it went right over my

head. In fact, at the ad agency I work, they think a

yogi is someone who sits in lotus constantly and

meditates. However, I was inspired just by reading about

Mysore. I don't have your personal experience of having

been there so I wouldn't be able to know that Nagarata

was yet another thief and villian. Also, please jog

your memory and try to recall way back when when you

were a yoga newbie fresh off the boat. We all have to

make a first trip. <br><br>However, I do see your

point about the journalist missing the devotion,

discipline and transformation the practice brings. For that

she should be drawn and quartered.<br><br>ishogun

Senor,<br>I couldn't agree more about the

article. Really missed the mark. What's up with the

'mostly upper middle class' doing ashtanga? Why, even if

it were true is that even an issue? And what part of

what series are people 'flipping around on the ground

like capsized turtles'? I found that one particularly

fantastic. Where did she get THAT information? I wonder

though, did Guruji give permission for this article? Was

he contacted for final approval? Just

wondering.<br><br><br>However, Re. DS, I did not say CHARMING. I said VERY COOL.

I know bravado when I see it.<br><br>Trinks

Actually, I will take the liberty senor has

standardized and retract my former comment about the article.

I am thinking that If Guruji didn't like the

contents of it it wouldn't have been published. <br><br>I

belive the desire for others to undertand and embrace my

practice with the same fervor I do is sort of akin to

pasting Jesus fish all over the back of a car or

bumberstickers saying 'save yourself with Jesus'. There is a big

difference spiritually and philisophically between

attraction and promotion. <br><br>I only hope that there

will be room on the floor in Mysore.
