Georgia, I have read the Sutras and I am a

practicing Ashtanga instructor. The reply was geared towards

those hateful individuals who continue to leave

insulting replies to fellow yogis in this club. It's

difficult for me to tolerate these people who obviously

have no yoga practice and do not belong in this club.

These are the very people who abuse their power to

engage in activities such as shutting down Yoga classes

because they believe Yoga is devil worship. (See the

internet for that article)<br>I will admit that I most

definately need to encorporate more compassion in my life. I

agree with you completely. <br>I do, however, find it

extremely discouraging when I join a club seeking to

educate myself more about the Yoga community and it's

obvious wealth of knowledge and I find such sad behavior

on a daily basis. <br>In regards to the offensive

comments, my intentions to offend were solely directed to

the people who do not belong in this club. Not to any

fellow yogis. <br>I attempt to lead a lifestyle of good

health and nutrition. Which generally incorporates

eating fresh, wholesome foods and not smoking. Non yogis

"stereotypically" (not all of course) do not. My intentions were

merely to bring light to these individuals of their lack

of awareness by giving them "a taste of their own

medicine."<br>Enough of this, let us please use this club solely what

it was designed for. <br>Namaste

Not sure if your original message was meant for

me. If so, my apologies for offending your sense of

correctness. Like georgia, I too have found the logic of your

posts a little dificult to follow:<br>"It's difficult

for me to tolerate these people who obviously have no

yoga practice and do not belong in this club." <br>If

I understand this, if one posts an insulting

message, like yours for example, they have no yoga

practice. Who decides who belongs here? My impression is

that this is a public online forum open to anyone who

follows 's guidelines.<br>" my intentions to offend

were solely<br> directed to the people who do not

belong in this club"<br>...my intentions to offend...

Hmmm, as a practicing yoga instructor, do you teach

your students such approaches?<br>"My intentions were

merely to<br> bring light to these individuals of their

lack of awareness by giving them<br> "a taste of their

own medicine."<br>Well, you certainly have a high

opinion of your own sense of awareness nd your own yoga

practice and a low opinion of anyone who you disagree

with. Maybe that's the criteria for being a yogi, that

you find them agreeable. There's lots of yogis who

eat meat, who drink alcohol, who aren't practicing

teachers and who are disagreeable from time to time. The

fact that someone is seeking to progress on the yogic

pathway does not mean that they have to be

buddha.<br>Yogi, heal thyself, then worry about those you disagree

with
