Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 fool. How dare you speak of our beloved guru in such a manner.<br><br><<He's not at fault for charging huge sums of money>> <br><br>Last I checked, no one is forced to travel to half way around the world and stay in Mysore, one of the most filthy, polluted and boring places on the planet to study with the great Guru. The man is 86 YEARS old and works from 4am sometimes 'till 2.00 in the afternoon. His energy and love for his students is un-paralleled. Even the greatest senior teachers are exhausted after teaching just two shifts. The guru used to beg for his meals as a boy from other Brahmin families so that he could study yoga. I have been to his village Kowshika and it is a small impoverished isolated outpost with just 11 brahmin families living amidst open sewers.<br><br>It is a true miracle that our beloved guru emerged from this squalor and poverty and has brought us the great gift of ashtanga. How can you criticize a man for reaping some financial benefit at the end of his long life so that he can provide for his family and leave a legacy in his village. <br><br>Screwgee, whoever you are--you are a small minded imbecile. <br><br>That you think he touches women inappriately says more about your depraved mind than our gurus pure intentions.<br><br><<not at fault for wacky advice and general<br> disorganization.>><br><br>What wacky advice do you speak of? I have spent many hours with him and his advice is always sound. As for the <<extrememe disorganization>>, you are obviously unfamiliar with his native India and the state of that country. Relatively speaking, our guru runs his operation like a swiss watch.<br><br>You obviously are inexperienced and have not had the great fortune to go to Mysore or if you have, it is as one of the many "yoga tourists" who shows up for a few weeks or a month, alternately bitches about how your practice was cut back and how much the guru charges while overpaying for rotten fruit salad and over-eating at criminal Nagaratnas. You then continue your whining while sitting by the pool at the Southern Star.<br><br>You are likely on the dole if you are Australian yet complain about the hard working rickshaw drivers that overcharge white folk for a few rupees.<br><br>You are pathetic.<br><br>Senor,<br><br>Ole!
