April Fools Day

[Guest guest]

Wait a minute, now you've got me really confused!

I thought you really changed your name. Then I

thought someone played a trick on you. So I guess you are

the trickster. I did not know of the origin of the

name shining skull, will have to look into that,

sounds interesting.<br><br>But really, though I may have

some interesting "insights", I am no authority on the

science of yoga. I have learned much from the recent

discussions here. Lots to think about. I hope you don't

really think omboy has been "littering" here. I have

found most of his posts to be quite amazing and

relevant to the study of Ashtanga yoga. For one thing, I'm

reminded that maybe I need to start reading the Bhagavad

Ghita.<br><br>Speaking of amazing, I started thinking Madonna was pretty

interesting after True Blue came out long ago. Most of her

records have some really great songs on them. I think its

great that she practices Ashtanga yoga. Its good for

her and it sets a good example for anyone who is

interested in her. The more people practice yoga, the

better. I will probably never achieve what she has in her

asana practice (and I haven't put out any records

either). Still haven't seen the movie where she plays a

yoga teacher. Supposedly a terrible film and only a

few minutes of yoga but someday I'll check it

out.<br><br>Happy April Fools day to you!

Yes, "mr pinky perky" was intended as a kind of

joke. Recently, I read about Pinky & Perky and I liked

the names. So I thought it might be interesting to

post under those names on this board and see how it

looks like. I took advantage of Fools' Day to do so.

However, I must say I am indeed bored with "shining skull"

(it's the English name for kapalabhati, a pranayama

technique I used to do before starting with astanga yoga).

"Mr pinky perky" sounds quite funny, and I think

already that I will use it as a second name along with my

old one. Let's see which one the people here will

like more...<br><br>I have nothing against midnight

omboy: I wish only I'd be able to understand his posts.

<br><br>Yes, the Bhagavadgita is a must for every yoga

practitioner. I am considering to order the edition in the

translation of Juan Mascaro from Amazon,

<a href=

target=new> </a> . I

have read it's the best English translation

of the Gita available.<br><br>Thanks again for your

posting, which is very helpful to me, regardless of

whether you are an "authority" on yoga.

Careful with those name selections there. The

devil you know may be better than the devil you don't.

If you don't like the abbreviation SS, think what it

will be like when people abbreviate Mr. Perky Pinky to

Mr PP. (more english slang--PP meaning kleiner

glied, or something like that)

[Guest guest]

Yes, I agree: PP (kleines Glied) is indeed awful.

But then, I just took advantage of April Fools' Day

to play with a new identity - didn't I say that it

was "my trick of the day"? I must admit though that I

liked "pinky perky". I was even thinking already to

change "pinky" into "pinkie".<br><br>Right, names can be

tricky. You should know better: after all, have you ever

considered that "boredcthis" can be shortened to "bore"?

(Although, I don't have the impression that you are a

bore.)<br><br>So maybe I will wait until next April Fools' Day to

ditch "shining skull" once and for all? Or maybe

not...uuhm. Enough! Let's talk astanga now.

ich kann nur ein bischen deutsch verstehen. your

english is way better than my german. subtleties, irony,

tone, etc. get lost in translation. no big deal.
