SPW, Aghori, etc.--a rant of my ow

[Guest guest]

Maybe you would do well to establish another

online club for ashtanga fanatics. See how many people

join. The way I see it, just as insidious as the

dilution of yoga is the attitudes you

convey.<br><br>Concession: there has been a watering down of yoga to teach

the masses. But are you, aghori, really suggesting we

return to the olden days when none but MALE brahmins

could practice yoga? Is there nothing to be said for

social change? For adaptation? Look at the rich

tradition of debating over the Talmud in

Judaism.<br><br>Even watered down yoga helps people improve their

lives. Not everyone wants to sit in a cave the rest of

their life (excuse the cliche). We do it so we may

become less like you--less rigid, less critical of

others, less domineering, less fanatical. Maybe one

morning you will wake up and ask yourself "what have I

become?" Holding hands and singing songs in Spanish sounds

like something you would benefit by. You are certainly

not qualified to teach yoga! And my goodness--telling

someone they are too chubby because Marichyasana B & D

are hard???? Are you a nut? Skinny people with tight

hips and knees have trouble with this too.<br><br>It

sounds to me you've been standing on your head so long

it's become swollen!!!<br><br>And SPW, don't you think

Krishnamacharya would role over in his grave if he heard your

angry ramblings--done in the name of preserving the

purity of yoga?<br><br>And I hate to say it but the

prices that our guru is charging foreigners are

outrageously high--and not just by Indian standards. And you

and he are putting down others for making a living

teaching yoga? Pullleeeeezze.
