Inner World of Yoga – Day 0
Now statues of Buddha and mala beads are as ubiquitous as the word Yoga itself. Yet, with all this rich history and the incorporation of much of Yoga’s knowledge base into our culture, essentially no credit has been given to the rich historical tradition from which it came. When we divide the system of Yoga into pieces instead of seeing it as a whole, we do ourselves a huge disservice. In pieces it significantly loses value for all of humanity for the simple reason that it loses its spiritual base.
Many of us in the spiritual communities of today are working to help build the living principles of universal truths and true spirituality back into the lives of all individuals, our culture and the world. An interesting and engaging read on Yoga’s journey to the West and its impact, can be found in the book by Philip Goldberg, AMERICAN VEDA, How Indian Spirituality Changed the West.
I sincerely hope you will join me and find this journey of 30 days to be as valuable to you as my Yoga journey has been for me. Remember, you can only begin from where you are today, yet please remember that the energy of your intent, combined with teachings, experiences and practices, and the learning and transformations that impact your life in a positive way, will transform tomorrow not just for you, but for others as well.
We are all connected. We are all One.
