Guest guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Posted August 30, 2000 It just goes to show you how few people are really ready to receive the gift of Ashtanga Yoga.<br><br>I am saddened, hurt, disgusted but most of all disappointed on the turn of discussion to:<br><br>--bizarre claims of molestation and groping<br>--extending this to disrespectful remarks about Guruji's angelic grandson.<br>--statements that people are disappointed because they did not get their money's worth of postures (greed)<br>--gossipping about the tragedy that befell Guruji's son.<br><br><br>What sort of disrespect is next? Conjecture about whether Ama (Guruji's blessed late wife) stole a mango from the open market?<br><br>It saddens me that Ashtanga has been over-taught and shared with so many that are not worthy. This, I am afraid is the sorry result.<br><br>At least I know that most of the naysayers will be onto their next fad in a year or two. Tai bo, kick boxing, pilates, or something new; and those that have been blessed to study with Guruji with an open heart will continue in their quiet practice.<br><br>Indeed, a book we all read in highschool best describes the degeneration of our culture and our little chat board: William Golding's Lord of the Flies.<br><br>With a heavy heart and unable to employ any of my characteristic sarcasm or wit I am <br><br>Senor Pinche Wey <br><br>In all seriousness, I believe that such posts could only be the work of a villain like Thom Bender Birch.
