Pamho, agtSP!

Or at least the students should be VERY clear on what the purpuse of this

atmayoga is: Physical wellbeing and maybe a little more psychological

balance, but not any real spiritual insights. This should be VERY clear to

the students. And then you can tell them that if you want spiritual insights

or knowlegde, then we have another proces - bhakti yoga.

 

One other very important point is: Which kind of people is it that we

attract to ISKCON using these methods? Many of them are probably polluted

with mayavadi philosophy and new age philosophy. Whenever a person joins

ISKCON that person brings some material pullution into ISKCON. So the

question is: Can we really handle this pullution?

 

Are there any of these atmayogis who have actually taking initiation in

ISKCON and realized that this atmayoga is just a preaching scheme to attract

people, and that it's actually a waste of time seen from the spiritual

perspective?
