Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: RIP Scott Girard
You can't tell anything by one person, but we will get a better idea with many aging Purusha and Mother Divine.

It just reveals his contempt for modern science and medicine. Well, I sure am not clear as to exactly what MMY was including in the phrase our tradition, or what kind of exercise he was referring to. It might also be important to know what *else* he said in this connection, to have more context for the quoted statement. So it seems to me we don't really have enough information to draw the conclusion you've just come to. That could be the case. You began by saying, Let's look at his assertion at face value. In general, I think the critics of MMY here rely far too much on face value. They seem to lack the imagination to realize how important context can be. Sometimes it can confirm the face value, but other times it shows it in an entirely different light. While I used the term face value, remember that I lived in programs where every hour was programmed by MMY. Vigorous exercise has always been frowned on. Statements like Asanas provide enough exercise were used to guide our activity. MMY is anti weight training and aerobic training, this is a known fact of his fulltime programs. But now all the chickens are coming to roost. If MMY is right his groups of people living under his direction should be the picture of good health. We are entering the area beyond opinions as we see how people age. You can't tell anything by one person, but we will get a better idea with many aging Purusha and Mother Divine. 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. I'll bet our views on how you and I conduct our own healthy lives are more similar than different.

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.
