Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Not to worry folks, it was just a dream... A perfect blond-haired, muscle-bound man and woman in a huge luxurious bathroom demonstrating a new product on the tv... they apply the product, flex their muscles and go off into an elaborate ordered routine of pseudo-spontaneous kriyas and mudras -- so impressive! It's the first infomercial for the Kundalini, which can now be purchased in a bottle for $39.99, satisfaction guaranteed or your money back! The crass commercialization of the power of the K!! Is it a joke? a parody? Maybe. But then think about what has happened to yoga and tantra after western society got its greedy paws on them... Coming soon at a tv near you (let's hope not?)... me Quote
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 John E., To follow up on your Kundalini snakeoil ad: ever since I took the Yoga Alliance teacher training this winter, I have developed a profound aversion for yoga schools in the US. I have been wondering why--it's getting almost pathological! The only explanation I can think of is that yoga is very sacred to me, and I can't stand the way it has become the new feel-good aerobics for trendy suburbanites. Not to mention the obscene market of yoga trinkets, scented candles, jewellry, apparel, outrageously priced sticky mats, New Age CDs, etc. It's disgusting! I could go on and on forever, but I'll just stop it here.
