Welcome to my blog!

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

"The yogi renounces all that takes him away from the Lord. He renounces his own desires, knowing that all inspiration and right action come from the Lord. He renounces those who oppose the work of the Lord, those who spread demonic ideas and who merely talk of moral values but do not practise them." - B.K.S. Iyengar

Giving Thanks


This year I am most grateful to God for His direct transmission of Yoga to me, in all of its Glory and aspects. I am especially thankful for the warrior postures which remind me to remain vigilant in my practice and in my mission. They remind me not to sit back and allow evil to run rampant in His creation. They remind me to actively fight what I know to be wrong. They remind me to remind others to do the same. They strengthen my body, and fortify my soul, so that I may stand strong, tall, and confident in opposition to deception, and the people who use it for a brief advantage. The postures bring light to my body so that I may light the way for others; helping them to abandon the darkness which has engulfed their lives. Darkness gives them that brief advantage, but that same darkness which they project to the world will ultimately turn on them, and destroy them.

I am, of course, as always, thankful for true friends and my real family, and for the fact that I am able to transmit Yoga to them as well. Danyavad Ananda. Hari Om.
