Yoga ain't a religion. And I think the lot of us could give a rats ass what the general public thinks. I think Baghavan Das (the kid yogi from "Be Here Now") was thinking about supporting ones self with an occupation (in his case he sold luxury cars in Marin for a while) rather than begging in India. And he also was politically aware enough to get himself a "quit India" notice. :-D ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
