[FairfieldLife] Re: RIP Scott Girard / Vedic exercise
The irony is that he died of cardiovascular disease, yet recently Maharishi told Purusha they shouldn't exercise because Exercise isn't part of our tradition. That would be ironic only if the type of cardiovascular disease he had would have been prevented or remedied by exercise during the time he was in Purusha. according to wikipedia, sedentary lifestyle is one of the risk factors that are modifiable; some risk factors like genetic predispositon cannot be modified. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_disease However, unless Maharishi was cautioning against western exercise methods specifically (like going to the gym), i find his statement odd, in light of what his own Maharishi Ayurveda posts on its website, to the contrary: Q: How does one know what kind of exercise to do? A: Vedic exercise, such as Yoga and Sun Salutes, are the most highly regarded forms of exercise in Maharishi Ayurveda, because they rejuvenate and purify the body at a subtle level. Walking is also an excellent form of exercise for almost anyone, and is gentle enough for Vata types. Swimming is ideal for Pitta types, and most Kapha types have a greater capacity for longer and more intense exercise. http://mapi.com/en/newsletters/ayurveda_health_tips.html a vigorous round of a dozen Salutes to the Sun should be enough to cut the risk of too much sitting; and what about all the hopping purusha men do; or do they?

And the generation he inspired has passed that spirit on to its children. I meet young people who were born long after John F. Kennedy was president, yet who ask me how to live out his ideals. Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals and imagine that together we can do great things. In those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible. snip the rest. You get the point. Ms. Kennedy feels the same breath of fresh air coming from Barack Obama that I do, that all-important Ability To Inspire. It's important, but not ALL-important. You have to be able to follow through and know what to *do* with the inspiration and have the experience and ability to carry it off. Plus which, inspiration isn't always benign, depending on exactly what great ideals the inspirer has in mind. Osama bin Laden was able to start a movement because he could inspire people. Likewise Hitler and various other historical villains. (No, I'm not saying Obama has such evil goals. But I'm not at all sure he has what it takes to follow through on what he preaches. I'm just saying we need to look a little deeper than just inspiration.) snip The people who flocked to learn TM by the thousands in the 70s weren't coming because of the intro lectures and the scientific studies. They were coming because of US, the teachers. We were fuckin' INSPIRED! snip Those who talk nobly about wanting to change the TM movement, to make it better or more responsive, to get it back to what it was -- they're all missing the point too as far as I can tell. *They* aren't inspired, either...they're frustrated. So the people they talk to and hope to get on change the TMO band- wagon with them sense the frustration, and the *same* amount of inspiration that they feel from the TMO itself -- none. Seems to me the idea is to go back to the original inspiration, to what inspired the teachers of the '70s. That was partly due to Maharishi personally, but also to the teachers' experience of the technique and to the substance of the knowledge. The basic technique and knowledge haven't changed. Plus which, perhaps one reason MMY made all those videotapes was to preserve the effect of his own inspirational abilities after he could no longer provide inspiration in person.

[FairfieldLife] Re: RIP Scott Girard
This is an insight into MMY's mind. Let's look at his assertion at face value. How did the guys in his tradition live? The only people we know are in his tradition are remembered in the puja, so skipping past the obviously mythological characters, we find some people whose lifestyles we can use to determine what he was talking about. Shukadeva was a nudist who lived outside. In fact we see that Guru Dev, who was also a famous camper (but clothed), may have encountered indoor plumbing for the first time at Jotir Math. (that is if it has indoor pluming?) So if we are going to take the lifestyles of the tradition seriously then Purusha is missing a huge component of that lifestyle: they lived lives with built in physical activity. Just taking a bath for these guys might involve walking down to a river or stream. They were outdoorsmen who could see their breath on cold days (North India gets cold) when they went for a morning...how to put this delicately so as not to offend...Oh I know, moving from the fullness of fullness to the fullness of emptiness! How they DIDN'T live was sitting on foam or in front of computers as Nabby pointed out. They didn't live in the artificially heated and cooled environments of modern man. They didn't have parkas. So like a lot of stuff that comes out of MMY's mouth, this statement doesn't make any sense. It just reveals his contempt for modern science and medicine. So let's all use our saliva to wash out our eyes in the morning as was recommended in the early days of Ayur Veda, and NEVER work up a sweat! Then Purusha can all look like all the elderly people we see around us who didn't live an active lifestyle. Fortunately they can fall back on their Purusha health care insurance, right?

I'm no medical expert, but I can't imagine a cardiologist telling anyone that exercise wouldn't benefit them, unless they were so ill that the slightest exertion might kill them. False dichotomy. The slightest exertion doesn't have to be enough to kill you for a cardiologist to recommend against vigorous exercise (as opposed to, say, hatha yoga and walking--do we know that Purusha guys don't take walks?). I've seen people in their 90's who had gotten proper exercise all their lives and could still run, ski, etc. As Bob (I think) pointed out, genetics plays a significant role as well. Maharishi, who has been sedentary, has been bound to a wheelchair for several years. If non-exercise is part of his tradition, then the tradition is deficient. That just doesn't follow, Rick. It's certainly a possibility, but it ain't anything like the only possibility. For instance, reportedly he has diabetes, which can cause ghastly foot ulcers, in some cases despite adequate exercise and medication and diet. It could be that his feet are too painful for him to walk. Yes, he's been sedentary, but he's also in his 90s, well beyond standard life expectancy, even though his self-imposed work schedule has been far more grueling for far longer than most people, even those in excellent health, could tolerate. Seems to me he's held up remarkably well under the circumstances, exercise or no exercise.

As far as MMy goes,I think his mission is a big key to his longevity. having a purpose seems to be a really important for a long life On the other hand my dad is his age and is much more physically vigorous. But there are so many factors in health we can only pick out what makes sense and run with it. For me it includes weight training and aerobics as well as stretching and balance training. I am hoping that pursuing my music will give my life a focus till the guitar drops from my hands. I have read that many musicians live a long time and I think the activity and expression may help.

Four years ago, I was at 234 lbs and a complete keyboard potato. I was huffing and puffing on every stairway, and I had a host of other lack-of-vitality symptoms too. Enter the Trikke. Down 30 pounds, never get tired doing normal everyday stuff, can do a ton of things that I never knew I was missing. I shoveled an eight inch snow fall for 30 minutes the other day without pausing -- like that. Ain't no one here going to talk me out of exercising cuz of sweat. I come back from trikking and continue to sweat for 30 minutes -- my heart rate can spike up to 170 beats per minutes, but the blood pressure is normal (95 over 65)-- gotta love that. I get extra benefits from my woman all the time when she is amazed at my strength and endurance nowvery nice to be fit and healthy in the eyes of your love. I just keep saying to her, no surprise, I'm Trikkerman! Gotta tell ya, getchersef something physical to do, don't havta be no trikking, but just get out there 30 minutes a day and work up a sweat, and you will see your whole life come up a notch in energy, verve, esteem, passion, positivity upon awakening in the morning, flexibility, and on and on. That said, I think the key is flexibility, and 30 minutes of asanas per day could possibly do 75% of the getting-fit workload. The sun salutation seems purdy good fer thet. Here's the proof: I'm so confident about what exercise has gotten me, that I even write it up here knowing full well that Sh-empty is posting today. Great God in heaven, please heal Sh-empty.

I'm just objecting to the conclusions being drawn on tiny amounts of anecdotal evidence. One of my favorite qualities of your posts. Good reminder. I'm dubious about such a recommendation for Mother Divine/Purusha as well, but I leave more room for their different circumstances possibly having different effects.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Trikke: WAS RIP Scott Girard
The Trikke is a perfect Zen master teacher, but I resisted, and it took me months to get smooth, but only a day or so to get it to go. I fought against the machine -- thinking I knew better, and consequently I gripped the handlebars hard until my forearms ached and didn't stop aching for a long time. The machine knows what it can do, and it will actually push back against you if you're trying to do ANYTHING that isn't part of it's efficiency algorithm. Listening to it yields skills fast. If I change anything, like handlebar height, or stance on the footpads, the machine becomes significantly different feeling immediately because it's a wholistic thingie and if one thing changes then all else must too: meaning one's way of carving. For this reason I switch my set-up around to get even more of the outer realms of core into the mix. Funzies. I even turn the front wheel backwards and do it like that just cuz. The basic trick is learning to lean instead of using one's arms to brute force the beast back and forth. Let go let gravity. These days with so many instructional videos on youtube, most newbies are reporting good skill-sets in a week or so, and soreness is merely the first few days. Gravity does all the work, but it take a bit of muscle to get almost all of one's mass on the correct footpad at the start of the descent. This shifting of one's weight back and forth on the pads has to be perfectly timed with the arm motions. When done well, it is buttah. The neatest thing is that each and every carve gives one that feeling of catching a wave. It's a free ride all the way down the eight inch tall wave, then it's mostly coasting back up the other side from the momentum gained during the falling. A little push from your quads, a little oomph from the arms, and you're back on top ready for another free ride down. There's no end to nuancing -- honest -- you learn something more everyday about being in tune with it. At the first 20 seconds of this video, http://youtube.com/watch?v=pF6W3S3QC-w , you can see just how smooth the motion can be as carve seamlessly melds into the next carve -- undulation city! This video http://youtube.com/watch?v=nLGNNX9ZqDE gives a pretty good feeling about how one can rock out on this gizmo and get some oomph into the carves. As far a knees go, I haven't had the least problem, nor for the other joints. I tell folks it's extremely low impact on the system while it gets every major muscle group working -- like swimming actually.

I think there are a bunch of passive meditator types who are not so discriminating in thought but spaced out or anemic and that was mistaken for increased positivity.

That would be ironic only if the type of cardiovascular disease he had would have been prevented or remedied by exercise during the time he was in Purusha. Pray tell, Doctor Stein, are you saying that there are instances in which exercise is NOT a good thing? I was going to make a similar comment. I’m no medical expert, but I can’t imagine a cardiologist telling anyone that exercise wouldn’t benefit them, unless they were so ill that the slightest exertion might kill them. I’ve seen people in their 90’s who had gotten proper exercise all their lives and could still run, ski, etc. Maharishi, who has been sedentary, has been bound to a wheelchair for several years. If non-exercise is part of his tradition, then the tradition is deficient. When I was on TTC and the Sidhis program we had walks every day either after or before lunch and it was recommended. Maybe running or heavy exercise might not be good for someone rounding because of the shock to the system. But walking should be okay. Plus using an Indian diet for westerners is not a good idea either. MMY started out saying eat what your mother puts before you. That was a subtle way of saying what your ancestors ate is probably the best diet for you or modified if you moved to a new location. Of course if your ancestors ate a bad diet and keeled over in their 40's it might not be such a good idea too and needs some advice or modification. Your body changes and adapts (acclimatizes) to your environment. My guru returned early from his last India trip and when I asked why he said too hot! So in about 10 years time he had become so acclimatized to the California climate that India was now too hot. I also have another Indian restaurateur friend who told me he gets sick now when he visits India. I've also wondered if so many who have had health problems and died early in the movement were even following advice from even MAPI practitioners? I've known people when recommended to at least eat eggs for breakfast didn't want to and stuck to an yogic diet of Indian food stuff not necessarily that good for westerners.

I was having some fun talking with my buddy about some- thing more interesting than cows and green-flowing- fucking-soma and we laughed out loud and he came running over and actually *yelled* at us and screamed, YOU! YOU are the reason Maharishi hasn't visited our course! You shame his teachings by laughing like this when you should be in silence! Something in me just snapped, but very quietly. I walked over to the red-faced, near-apoplectic ass- hole and took him by the perfectly-pressed collar of his perfectly-pressed shirt (mussing his perfect tie), and dragged him over to the edge of the trail that we were walking along and leaned him out over the edge. He looked down...WAY down, several hundred meters, to where he might easily wind up if he didn't pay attention. He paid attention. I said, quietly, I have taken just about all of your bullshit I can. Go away and bother me no more. Look down. If you EVER speak to me again on this course, that is where I will throw you. Do you understand? He understood. He never spoke to me again, on that course or any other. My exercise program remained undisturbed for the rest of the course, and both my buddy and I continued to laugh our ways through each one of them. Occasionally we'd see the asshole glaring at us, angry that our laughter was keeping him from his teacher and his enlightenment and whatever *else* he thought our enjoyment of life was keeping him from, but he never dared to say anything to either of us again. And that's what exercise time was like on my last course. Boy, I don't miss the TM movement...

One thing that I got from the TMO that I still do is asanas--surya namaskar and the advanced set of asanas I was taught at a course. I spend more time doing the yoga than I spend meditating. I also lift weights moderately--for tone rather than for getting bulky, and bicycle. I feel pretty good physically.

A simple boycott, with a simple note of explanation. 3) Take it upon yourself to post comments that reflect the standards you feel should be adhered to.

This study pertains to heart disease that already has evidenced itself, exercise by itself is unlikely to reduce plaque. Sometimes a very restrictive diet can reduce plaque. For westerners, lifestyle factors are a large part of heart disease, such as lack of exercise, bad diet and other bad habits like smoking. Plus genes. And bad luck. For example, instead of a plumbing problem you might have an electrical problem that has nothing to do with how well you have taken care of yourself. Either can kill you. Recommendations to see your doctor before starting an exercise program are partly CYA and partly because you might have a time bomb in your chest. Nevertheless, in general exercise is good good good, even for people who have cardiac issues if those issues are addressed as part of a treatment program. With all of these caveats, I tend to disagree with MMY's position that you shouldn't exercise yourself into a sweat. But if you come from a hot climate, you do have to keep cognizant of the heat when exercising and people often over do it in the heat. Heart rate monitors are good to have for those who exercise in the heat. And heck, if people would just walk 10,000 steps a day that would work just fine.

I'm thinking Larry that unless you come in with the background of time in the TMO, you're gonna feel somewhat out of the loop, and hence turned off, or bored. There's plenty of nuanced debate, inside jokes etc. that take place. It helps to have that background to derive full benefit/appreciation.

So if Purushas not in the Himalayas tend to be rajasic, what does that make non-Purushas? Seems to me that by your way of thinking, non-Purushas would generally be more rajasic than Purushas. Not necessarily, but usually. Without a certain amount of rajas, how else would the outer world go round.
