Hysteria

[Guest guest]

Screwgee - the most hysterical things missy p.

has read recently are your posts! Take a chill pill

or perhaps just practice correct yoga technique

under a guru and your nervous system will strengthen

and purify THEN we could have an interesting

dialogue. Your BKS Iyengar, a Brahmin, has written a fine

book although it is in no way applicable to the

Ashtanga Yoga Vinyasa method. To try to combine the two

would just cause injury and possibly damage the nervous

system - upsetting one's mental well-being (hopefully

its not too late for you). <br><br>I find Yoga Mala

to be the first and last written word on the Vinyasa

system - upon every reading , I am further struck by its

depth, intricacy and wisdom. I find no flaws in it and

have benefitted in many aspects from the practice in

the very ways he suggests. <br><br>Missy p. is a

highly educated woman, as would be clear to any one who

has read her past posts, so I imagine your question

was rhetorical regarding my knowledge of sati. It is

true throughout history that women whose homes,

villages, and states were ransacked and brutalized by

conquering enemies - chose to kill themselves rather than be

raped or enslaved. This is how sati began. Regrettably

India has a long history of ruthless and cruel

invaders. Regrettably too, this act of sati was later

corrupted by a degraded society. Can any of us defend

completely (if at all) the acts of debased political leaders

and groups? Did you know that sati is not an act that

was exclusive to Brahmin women? In faNo caste was

omitted from this perverted and cruel penance. Did you

know that in Inida today economically poor brides are

often burned to death by their illiterate newlywed

husbands who desire more dowry? And this is often done at

the behest of the husbands nagging mother?
