Yoga Toilets

[Guest guest]

A yoga tourist can be many things- I don`t expect

that the yoga tourist you name desecrates the

enviroment any more or less than you do yourself. At least

if they go to Mysore they may feel inspired to

dedicate more of their life to yoga.<br>I am half punk but

all yogi. I am not afraid to question something if it

seems wrong but I realise that to get by in this world

I have to do contribute something. This is why I

clean toilets. I would rather run a big yoga centre in

some capital city but to be honest I don`t have the

charisma. Cleaning toilets maybe a low prestige, low paid

job but when it comes down to it who does society the

biggest favour the head of a multinational corporation or

the toilet cleaner ? Both have the same chance to

reach samadhi but maybe the toilet cleaner will reach

there first because he/she has less attachment to their

job.<br>As for cleaning toilets in India. I know that there

would be plenty of work but the pay is too poor. I

would have to work for 10 years just to study with

guruji one month. I would rather work In Switzerland.

Here the pay is better and the toilets not so dirty.

You have given me an idea though, maybe I could clean

the toilets at the yoga shala in Mysore in exchange

for free teachings.<br>Please tell what lessons were

learnt in the 70s- people always talk of the postive

things- the change in conciousness, interest in spiritual

affairs and alternative lifestyles, what is wrong with

that ?
