Article wanted

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

Yes sure, I want to write that article but what I would write I don't

think would be what yogitimes is looking for. My perspective is that

if Swami Vivekanada had any idea that the US would transform Yoga into

a self-indulgent cult of physical fitness for vain body worshippers,

missing the most vital aspects of yoga (namely, battling with the

vasanas, pratiyahara, etc.) Vivekananda would have stayed in India and

not gone to Chicago.

 

Though there are some ( a few ) serious practioners yes, the bulk of

the Americans " doing " " yoga " (visit any supermarket checkout counter

in Santa Monica, where the Yoga Journal is now sold alongside the

National Enquirer) have turned around everything vital to the point

that it is just one more desire-fulfillment strategy. Sorry.

Dear Kenneth

 

Wel said re yoga in USA and incidently to some extent in NZ or Down Under.

Yoga isn't a popular pastime, though one can have " fun " trying to become a

yogi, eh.

Once again thanks for advice re Yoga Vashistha - received book yesterday.

 

Greetings from Eric
