Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Aum Namah Shivaya: I am pleased to have been invited to join this group and am sure I shall enjoy getting to know other Saivites. Why Shiva for me? I love him because to me he is the wild man of the mountains who roams freely and naked. He is free of the constraints of sciety. He can be judgmental and hard, quick to anger and destroy what is wrong and bad, and yet he is at the same time loving and gentle. Truly a God of unsurpassed love, compassion and forgiveness. Details of me can be found on my website www.yoga-sadhana.org where I describe my meeting with my guruji and the giving of my name. Guruji in Rishikesh gave me the name of Shiv because `In England you went to the temple and honoured Lord Shiva, now you are in the Himalaya - the home of Shiva. It is Monday the day of Shiva, and you are strong like Shiva!! You shall be called Shiv, a son of Shiva`. So for me every morning begins with my puja in my yoga kutir when I honour Guruji, Ganesh, Murugan, Hanuman and Parvati, and finally Nandi and Lord Shiva. I shall be happy to correspond with fellowpilgrims. Aum Namah Shivaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Aum Namah Shivaya Namaste Bhupendra Good to hear from you. My yatra began at birth! My more conscious introduction to yoga began when I was 11 or 12 years old when I read `A Search in Secret India` by Paul Brunton. That was about 1952/3. I have always, from early childhood, been drawn to the spiritual as well as the physical aspects of yoga - truly for me a way of life. I do not live in an ashram, but with my wife in a very quiet and wooded area of England. It is the idal situation for a vanaprasta. Living in England I am not able to fulfill all my gurus` directions directly - I do wear clothes!!! but being naked is again a spiritual aspect of myyoga when I am practising. In my teaching I emphasise the spiritual side of yoga and hold regular satsang here.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hello Derek, Nice to see your reply. For how long did you stay with your guruji and what type of yoga have you learnt? Are you familiar with Kundalini Yoga? Are you able to achive pefect concentration(dhyan) during meditation? Man I have so many questions about this topic I don't know where to start. It is so nice to come in contact with someone who has learnt things directly from a guru. Is it that you are teaching yoga in England? Because that is what I got from your last sentence in your reply. Sincerely, Bhupendra. , "Derek Osborn" <derek_osborn1 wrote: > > Aum Namah Shivaya > Namaste Bhupendra > > Good to hear from you.
