Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Today I gave a talk to some students at Imperial College London. The topic was Raja yoga.... Let me share my experience with you. The show stopper turned out to be the concept of 'Celibacy'. I insisted that in order to make any serious progress in raja-yoga 'total' celibacy is absolutely essential. No compromises.... You can imagine what happened next : ) Absolute uproar... ( I would not budge an inch) I thoroughly enjoyed the bantering that followed. They are now ready for the next talk: " Life and teachings of Swami Vivekananda " By the grace of Sri Ramakrishna these talks are going down a treat. jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a practitioner of Rajayoga for almost 30 years. And though not celibate for this entire time I do recognize that true progress comes through bramacharya. In fact, this is a subject I recently wrote at great length on for a group of friends. Om Santi ... Sakti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
