WORLD YOGA CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITION 2005

Yoga means Union or Enlightenment.

Asana means posture, it is more Gymnastic.

How about the World Asana Championships?

I am in accord with this.
The path of yoga is not a competition the goal is the the Enlightenment and not a competition.
The yoga is here for reconciliation of the all parts of the human kind.
Thre yoga is here for give us a good health and mental awareness and not for competion with other people.

excuse me for my bad english.

Why not try to undersant our one COMPETITION in Yoga Path, and put that in an harmonious international meeting...!?

Dear Pauline Rooney,
thank you for your desire to clarify your doubts.

Yoga is a science soooo open and biiiiig that it
is possible it contains also this type of view: it
is only 1 view in the ocean of the yoga views. 1
ray of the sun.
And every views bring the researcher through the
rays to the centre of the Sun.
And it is in this mood I welcomed the yoga
competitions in the Indian Festival in Italy.

We could prefer meditation, philosophy and
science... but is our view.... we can not decide
for the others.
We haven't to put yoga in the gates, please let's
leave it free....

Love
Emy





Energy Enhancement Satchidanand says..
Good explanation Emy. Just as good as saying competition, gambling or murder is not a good thing to do.....  and you have explained it away as good.... Like this...

Dear Pauline Rooney,
thank you for your desire to clarify your doubts.

Human action is a science soooo open and biiiiig that it is possible it contains murder: it is only 1 view in the ocean of the human action.

1 ray of the sun.

And every view brings the researcher through the rays to the centre of the Sun.

And it is in this mood I welcomed the murder action.

We could prefer meditation, philosophy and science... but is our view that murder is better.... we can not decide for the others.

We haven't to put actions in the jail, please let's leave it free....

Love Emy

Satchidanand says...
Reductio ad absurdam in the way of Socrates shows how lawyers can think up 10 reasons why anything is good and 10 reasons why anything is bad. BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CORRECT!!!

Only the removal of energy Blockages above the head connecting you to conscience and to the Soul can show you the truth.

If you have these Energy Blockages above the head, then you are on your way to being a Psychopath.

Dear Selves,
Yoga means Unity, and in that sense, it expresses 'the whole' The Whole is 'everything' and not everything less one part, in this case the competitions.
The mind, because of its intrinsic dual way of functioning, has a hard time accepting the unity.
Just as a technique can be energizing when practiced in the morning and relaxing when practiced at night, it is 'yogi' to compete as it is to cooperate.
You might not like or agree with competitions, yet it is a healthy yogi excercise to learn to accept them and either move away from them or towards them depending on what 'you' consider best.
Even though it might seem purposeless to dedicate time to this matters, it is very important when, for example, at times of disgrace, we tent to belief that God or the Unity is not there. Yes, God is present in a fantastic sunset as he/she is in the strength of an earthquake... Think about how many people loose faith in the face of personal disaster or death and then this lack of faith becomes the problem...!
Also, 'Yoga Competitions' are only 'asana and a little bit more competitions', how could you measure a practitioners' degree of enlightenment or swadyaya and, then, much less compare it with that of another being...?
Also, how would the number of your present re-incarnation influence judges' ratings...?
I'm sure some of these questions will move us to laughter, yet it is up to 'a good yogi' to just accept duality, and embrace both altruism and competition as part of Creation, and deal with it!!
In Love and Service.
Antonio.

An enlightened being would not murder anyone unless it was really necessary. Teaching people to murder as in teaching people to gamble or compete is not good and is not a good example of the Yogic way, yet we have the choice of murdering, competing, gambling or not..... It is in that choice the real Yogic Enlightenment is found. Satchidanand


i just loved Anthonios answer to the question on Yoga Sport
a truly Yogic answer and approach to the subject
Yoga Sport is one of the many branches on the great yoga tree
it is a young one and may need some corrections and grafting but let us not throw the baby out with the bathwater by an antagonistic attitude
i have in my own experience since 1975 seen the tremendous positive effects of Yoga Sport on our Indian youth and have witnessed the necessity of it in this context

Satchidanand.. Here is Socrates again.. Personally I think many politicians have said that entering the army, becoming a soldier, can have a tremendous positive example to our Indian Youth and they have witnessed the necessity of it in this context. Satchidananand says that the Choice of competing, gambling, entering the army to see the world, meet interesting people and murder them is a personal choice. It is in that choice the real Yogic Enlightenment is found. Satchidanand.

I am not your enemy, simply your friend who only wants to help you understand. Personally I would not want to have unity with psychopaths. "Stay away from evil", says the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. It is the nature of evil, the monkey in Pancha Tantra to say, "and I suppose you think you are really good, don't you" before crucifying the guy who dares to say anything against the psychopathic group thinking. It is the quality of our enemies which determines the quality of the Human being, in which we ourselves are defined.

One of my Students asked me on radio recently how we should know a good Master. Well, I said, "He should be like Jesus Christ! At the time of his crucifixion, Jesus was universally hated by the awareless psychopathic group mind. Yet after his death he became loved because he could be explained away. If you want to find a living master, seek controversy based upon goodness and light.

Satchidanand

*****75% ARE PSYCHOPATHS, SCHIZOPHRENIC, AND MANIC DEPRESSIVE.

75% are PSYCHOPATHS, - Thieves, Murderers, Torturers and their Accomplices!

"A man has blockages like a dog has fleas" Ancient saying.

Why the World is the Way that it is. And why you should put all your effort into your own Enlightenment rather than anything else, using Energy Enhancement Techniques.


To illustrate the point here are FIVE sections on this next page.

PROLOGUE - The Energy Enhancement dissertation on Energy Blockages as the cause of Psychopathy. Energy Enhancement teaches the techniques to remove these blockages and solve a World Psychopathic Problem, thus helping to create ONE HARMONIOUS ENLIGHTENED WORLD.

1. MURDERERS - Total, 200 millions of people murdered, genocided, tortured, starved to death this 20th century WITH EXAMPLES PSYCHOPATHS STALIN, HITLER, AND MAO. You could also include, Ghengis Khan, Julius Caesar, Napoleon and Alexander the Great, and many, many more....

2. THIEVES, Psychopaths in charge of Multinational Companies. THIEVES, Snakes in suits Spot the true psychopath among the sharks in your office. HERE ARE SOME facts: Andrew Fastow, formerly of Enron, stands accused by an American court of taking $30 million in kickbacks from the company while its shareholders lost more than $70 billion. And more.....

3. ACCOMPLICES, - The Compensated Psychopath. "I like following orders!" - Monty Pythons Life of Brian. Compensated psychopaths have played significant parts in society and in history. All the Nazi functionaries who administered the concentration camps and supervised the destruction of thousands and thousands of human beings; all of Stalin's subordinates who, during the time of the Soviet purges, directed the arrests, torture and deaths of 65 millions of individuals; all of Mao's minions who so efficiently effected the disappearance, torture and death of large portions, 35 millions of the Chinese population -certainly all of these people were compensated psychopaths, accomplices.

4. TORTURERS - At this moment 128 countries, according to Amnesty International, use torture as a means of repression and control. THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES.

It is the considered opinion of Energy Enhancement that more than 75% of the general population are Psychopaths, - Thieves, Murderers, Torturers and their Accomplices with the potential to do tremendous damage when given the opportunity!


This is not only the one or two percent of real psychopaths, but also the accomplices, the vast majority of people who if ordered to help the guys in charge, DO IT!! And these accomplices are the vast majority of all the people in varying degrees.

Scientifically and historically we can see the problem.

This is a world problem and is in need of solution.

It is not possible for revolution or war to change the above as it plays into the hands of the psychopaths in charge and historically has always made matters worse as the law falls into disarray.

"War always reinforces the central power at the expense of the people." Simone Weil

No, the solution to all this, what we need, is the removal of blockages through Energy Enhancement techniques particularly in the heart, creating more empathy; above the head creating conscience and soul fusion; and then in the base PROCESSOR FUNCTION to reduce fear in order to solve the situation, otherwise this world is headed for more disaster.

What we need is One Harmonious Enlightened World... Energy Enhancement is a Key which if used can Speed UP the Evolution of all the people on this planet....

Part of Satchidanand's Web Blog

- "I was meeting a nice girl of 28 this morning here at our center in Rosario. She is a Psychologist but has fallen out of love with Psychology because although it explains things intellectually it gives no means of changing anything internally, particularly in herself.  I connected with her base chakra and her inner child showed me all her chakras and blockages one by one. A very interesting experience. First the Base chakra, one fear and security blockage which I removed very quickly. Then the second, a pain filled relationship blockage which I also removed. Then all the chakras solar plexus, heart etc, feeling the general dirtyness of the psychic body usually cleaned with The Grounding of Negative Energies but no major blockages. Then the head, two blockages, one a person who had just died, very deep and negative. I removed the first blockage but the other one was more difficult and stayed with me, absorbed by my psychic body, for a day before I sent it on. She felt the movement of energy blockages in the head and in the body as my mind and energy was working on her and told me that she normally got a lot of headaches. She was interested in my exposition of Energy Enhancement as all the while I was working on these blockages I was also talking to her. Such openings show an educated psychic body, one with talent. Not everyone who comes to the Guru has similar experiences. Some also get more. She and I felt that with training she also might be able to help her clients in a similar way. So, she is coming back tomorrow to try out the process, to get her first Initiation in Energy Enhancement."

THE HARMONY OF THE WHOLE... 

Tao simply means the ultimate principle that binds the whole existence together. The existence is not a chaos that much is certain; it is a cosmos. There is immense order in it, intrinsic order in it, and the name of that order is Tao. Tao simply means the harmony of the whole. No temples have been built for Tao; no statues, no prayers, no priests, no rituals -- that's the beauty of it. Hence I don't call it a doctrine, nor do I call it a religion, it is a pure insight. You can call it Dharma; that is Buddha's word for Tao. The word in English that comes closer or closest to Tao is "Nature" with a capital N.

 
THE VENERABLE MASTER SAID:

 

 THE SUPREME TAO IS FORMLESS, YET IT PRODUCES AND NURTURES HEAVEN AND EARTH.

 THE SUPREME TAO HAS NO DESIRES, YET BY ITS POWER THE SUN AND MOON REVOLVE IN THEIR ORBITS.

 THE SUPREME TAO IS NAMELESS, YET IT EVER SUPPORTS ALL THINGS.

 I DO NOT KNOW ITS NAME BUT FOR TITLE CALL IT TAO.

 

 THE CLASSIC OF PURITY is one of the most profound insights into nature. I call it an insight, not a doctrine, not a philosophy, not a religion, because it is not intellectual at all; it is existential. The man who is speaking in it is not speaking as a mind, he is not speaking as himself either; he is just an empty passage for existence itself to say something through him.

 That's how the great mystics have always lived and spoken. These are not their own words -- they are no more. they have disappeared long before; it is the whole pouring through them. Their expressions may be different, but the source is the same. The words of Jesus, Zarathustra, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Krishna, Mohammed are not ordinary words; they are not coming from their memory, they are coming from their experience. They have touched the divine, and the moment you touch the divine you evaporate, you cannot exist any more. You have to die for God to be.

 This is a Taoist insight. Tao is another name for God, far more beautiful than God because God, the word "God", has been exploited too much by the priests They have exploited in the name of God for so long that even the word has become contaminated -- it has become disgusting. Any man of intelligence is bound to avoid it because it reminds him of all the non-sense that has happened on the earth down the ages in the name of God, in the name of religion. More mischief has happened in the name of God than in any other name.

 Tao in that sense is tremendously beautiful. You cannot worship Tao because Tao does not give you the idea of a person. It is simply a principle, not a person. You cannot worship a principle -- you cannot pray to Tao. It will look ridiculous, it will be utterly absurd, praying to a principle. You don't pray to gravitation, you cannot pray to the theory of relativity.

 Tao simply means the ultimate principle that binds the whole existence together. The existence is not a chaos that much is certain; it is a cosmos. There is immense order in it, intrinsic order in it, and the name of that order is Tao. Tao simply means the harmony of the whole. No temples have been built for Tao; no statues, no prayers, no priests, no rituals -- that's the beauty of it. Hence I don't call it a doctrine, nor do I call it a religion, it is a pure insight. You can call it Dharma; that is Buddha's word for Tao. The word in English that comes closer or closest to Tao is "Nature" with a capital N.

 This profound insight is also one of the smallest treatises ever written. It is so condensed -- it is as if millions of roses have been condensed in a drop of perfume. That's the ancient way of expressing truth: because books were not in existence, people had to remember it.

 It is said that this is the first mystic treatise ever written down as a book. It is not much of a book, not more than one and a half pages, but it existed for thousands of years before it was written. It existed through private and personal communion. That has been always the most significant way to transmit truth. To write it down makes it more difficult because then one never knows who will be reading it; it loses all personal contact and touch.

 In Egypt, in India, in China, in all the ancient civilizations, for thousands of years the mystic message was carried from one person to another, from the Master to the disciple. And the Master would say these things only when the disciple was ready, or he would say only as much as the disciple could digest. Otherwise words can also produce diarrhea they certainly do produce it -- our century suffers very much from it. All the mystics for centuries resisted writing down their insights.

 This was the first treatise ever written; that's its significance. It marks a certain change in human consciousness, a change which was going to prove of great importance later on because even though it is beautiful to commune directly, person to person, the message cannot reach many people; many are bound to miss. Yes, it will not fall in the wrong hands, but many right hands will also remain empty. And one should think more of the right hands than of the wrong hands. The wrong people are going to be wrong whether some profound insight falls in their hands or not, but the right people will be missing something which can transform their being.

 Ko Hsuan, who wrote this small treatise, marks a milestone in the consciousness of humanity. He understood the significance of the written word, knowing all its dangers. In the preface he writes: "Before writing down these words I contemplated ten thousand times whether to write or not, because I was taking a dangerous step." Nobody had gathered that much courage before.

 Ko Hsuan was preceded by Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Lieh Tzu. Even they had not written anything; their message was remembered by their disciples. It was only written after Ko Hsuan took the dangerous step. But he also says, "Ten thousand times I contemplated," because it is no ordinary matter. Up to that moment in history no Master had ever dared to write anything down, just to avoid the wrong people.

 Even a man like Buddha contemplated for seven days before uttering a single word. When he attained to enlightenment for seven days he remained utterly silent. wavering whether to say anything or not. The question was: Those who cannot understand, what is the point of saying to them such profound insights? They will misunderstand, they will misinterpret, they will do harm to the message. Rather than allowing the message to heal them they will wound the message itself -- they will manipulate the message according to their minds, prejudices. Is it right to allow the message to be polluted by foolish people, by mediocre people, by stupid people?

 Buddha was hesitant, very hesitant. Yes, he also thought of the few people who would be able to understand it, but then he could see that "Those people who will be able to understand my words will be able to find truth on their own because they cannot be ordinary people, they will be super-intelligent people, only then will they be able to understand what I am saying to them. If they can understand my words they will be able to find their own way, they will be able to reach the truth on their own, so why bother about them? Maybe it will take a little longer for them. So what? -- because there is eternity, time is not short. But the message, once it gets into the wrong hands, will be corrupted forever." Even to utter he was hesitant.

 I can understand Ko Hsuan's contemplating over the matter ten thousand times -- whether to write it down or not -- because when you say something to people, if they are stupid people, they are bound to forget it very soon. If they are mediocre people they will not bother even to listen; they won't care. But once it is written down then they will read it, study it; then it will become part of their schools, colleges and universities, and stupid scholars will ponder over it and they will write great scholarly treatises on it. People who know nothing will be talking about it for centuries and the truth will be lost in all that noise that scholars make -- they will argue for and against.

 

 It is said that once a disciple of the devil came running to him and he said, "What are you doing sitting here under this tree? Have you not heard? -- one man has found truth! We have to do something, and urgently, because if this man has found truth our very existence is in danger, our very profession is in danger. He can cut our very roots!"

 The old devil laughed. He said, "Calm down, please. You are new, that's why you are so disturbed by it. Don't be worried. I have got my people, they have already started working."

 The disciple asked, "But I have not seen any of our people there."

 The devil said, "I work in many ways. Scholars are there, pundits are there, philosophers are there, theologians are there. Don't be worried. They will make so much noise for and against, they will create so much argumentation that the still small voice of truth will be silenced by them. We need not worry. These scholars and pundits and these professors are my people: I work through them -- they are in my service, they are my secret agents. Don't be worried. You may not have seen my well-known disciples there because I cannot go directly, I have to go in disguise. And I have arrived there and my people have started working -- they have surrounded the person. He cannot do any harm. And soon he will be dead -- he is old -- and then my people will be his apostles, his priests, and they will manage the whole affair."
