Editors
Notes :
For
the past several years I have had a strong desire
to publish a magazine with the Title "Yoga Today". There
always seems to be a valid reason for the magazine not making it to
the publishers desk.
During
my recent trip to India a trip to recharge my spirit. The idea of this
newsletter seemed more practical than the magazine. (I have not given
up on magazine!)
Apart
from nostalgic memories that vibrate with this title, to me , Yoga
Today, does not feel to be.
"Yoga in Present" or Yoga for the present Time. If somehow
seems camouflaged, by a cloke of Yesterday. We do need a Yesterday, don't
misunderstand, but I feel, we need a Yesterday that we as individuals
have experienced. Yoga is all about transformation Right? Swamiji has
made a very bold attempt to present Yesterdays Philosophy of Yoga to
our world of today. It is in the form of scientific yoga. His
contribution to humanity is silent yet most powerful. In his Yogic
therapy, Swami Kuvalyananda writes
Yoga is not concerned so much with social reforms as with personal
reforms. To it, it was man who formed society; if man, the unit of
society, was reoriented and rehabilitated properly, the society would
reform automatically, " pg 14.
On
the similar note there are a lot of Yogis & Yoginis out there
working sincerely to make Yoga work for the society of today. My
Salutations to them.
Namaste,
Be Peace
