Trayam, as a not so great American

[Guest guest]

President once said, "There you go

again."<br>Your disrespect and ignorance is not your fault. As I

said earlier, I had mixed feelings about Guruji making

his teachings available to so many that are

unprepared and often unworthy.<br><br><<He needs a<br>

disciple with enough real love to tell him to slow down

and speak more<br> clearly, to tell him that his

speaking efforts are largely wasted because<br> he's not

communicating effectively.>><br><br>First of all, I don't

think we are talking about being "disciples" per se. If

you feel that way, why don't you show how real your

love is and teach Guruji an 86 year old native speaker

of Kanida, Hindi and expert in Sanscrit how to speak

English better.<br><br>As for his financial gain, you

begrudge the world's greatest living teacher of yoga to

make some money for his family, to build temples and

as a reward for teaching for decades in

obscurity?<br><br>You criticize the "abbreviated" classes.<br>Maybe

after 6 weeks of teaching 2 classes per day, the guru

is a little tired? Maybe the students are only ready

for abbreviated classes? <br>Maybe you should enroll

in a yoga class at your local gym. The essence of

the practice is obviously lost on you. In my last

post I implied that you are arrogant and ignorant. You

are blind and lost. <br>What a fool you

are.<br><br>Your passive aggressive pseudo yogic tone fools no

one. You are a bitter and resentful yoga tourist. Time

for you to go home.<br><br>Pinche Wey<br>Pinche Wey

Pinchy's email and his other one on this subject is as good a lession as it gets

in what projection is all about. Nothing more need be said.

Mmm, all this sweet bhakti for pointing out 2

facts about Guruji's tour:<br><br>1) His lecture simply

wasn't understood by those in attendence -- not because

Guruji doesn't have an adequate command of English, but

because his delivery is far too fast.<br><br>Helping

Guruji to speak better English would be easy. One could

respectfully say: "Guruji, please speak more slowly and

clearly to us. We're having trouble understanding all

you've come here to tell us, and we really want to

understand all you have to say."<br><br>2) Guruji is making

a considerable amount of money on this tour. While

it may be neither here nor there, it's true. Why

then you consider his travel here a "great sacrifice"

is something of a mystery.

1. If Guruji is here just for the money, which I

don't think is the case, people have an obligation to

speak up and let him know they are not getting their

money's worth. On the other hand, if he is here because

he feels he has seomthing worthwhile to share, it

only makes sense that he would want to know that his

message is not getting across. Someone should tell

him.<br><br>2. He is making a lot of money on this tour which I

think is quite OK. What I do resent are those other

idiots who try and lie and twist the truth and make out

like its some great sacrifice on Guruji's part.

Sheesh. Give me a break. We are not idiots !!
