Critical Thinking is Real Enlightenment

[Guest guest]

"But I do know from experience, that by

practicing yoga, you should never need to take an asprin, or

have a headache. That is knowledge born from practical

experience." -- GD<br><br>How in the world can anyone make

such a claim for another person?<br><br>"We all have

just as much obligation to be accurate and truthful

when posting on this board -so I suggest you first go

and ask Guruji about the origins of Ashtanga Yoga,

before you call him a liar." -- GD<br><br>Guruji has

given his answer. He said "Yoga Korunta." But there is

no Yoga Korunta or any other source that leads us to

believe YK did exist.<br><br>"On second thoughts, its

probably not such a good idea, as you clearly do not

demonstrate the appropriate respect." -- GD<br><br>How many

times have i heard these kind of rejoinders from cult

apologists...<br><br>Look, yoga is rife with mythology -- is it really

disrespectful to suggest that the Yoga Korunta is at least

partially myth? <br><br>Or is it more disrespectful to make

up a myth and pretent it's a fact?<br><br>Guy has

also told us here that eating too many vegetables

"causes diseases," that the Dalai Lama has some kind of

occult, paranormal powers, and that placing the feet out

of order in padmasana inhibits the rise of

kundalini.<br><br>He may be right on all these topics. However, the

onus is one the one making the grand claims to provide

evidence to support these claims. <br><br>As I see it,

Shining was merely asking for evidence -- and asking for

evidence should never be called an act of disrespect.
