“The commercialism of yoga, the commercialism of Ayurveda, the commercialism of guru-ism, is difficult. It's difficult because it confuses, it confuses the general populations as to what this is all about, but yet those of us who are trained within a certain tradition, who trained from the ancestral gene bank, so to speak, it is fine, it's not bothersome at all because we must live.” CertainSpeakDifficultFineYogaTraditionPopulationGenesGuruIsmsCommercialismAyurveda Author:Maya Tiwari
“By means of personal experimentation and observation, we can discover certain simple and universal truths. The mind moves the body, and the body follows the mind. Logically then, negative thought patterns harm not only the mind but also the body.

“Indian forms of yoga have spread throughout the world due to their objectives of promoting health and harmony. Japan is but one of many countries that have received these age-old teachings. While Indian yogic disciplines (Hatha yoga in particular) have become well known, not everyone realizes that certain distinctive Japanese versions of Indian spiritual paths have evolved. Perhaps the first of these unique methodologies is the art of Shin-shin-toitsu-do, which was developed by Nakamura Tempu Sensei (1876-1968). In fact, Nakamura Sensei is often considered to be the father of yoga in Japan.” WorldFirstsWellsArtCountryFactsAgeSpiritualFormCertainFatherRealizingKnownPathTeachingParticularDisciplineUniqueYogaHarmonySpreadDuesObjectivesVersionsIndianJapanWell KnownPromotingSpiritual PathDistinctiveMethodologySenseiHatha Yoga Author:H.

“The author isn't altogether certain that there is any such thing as exaggeration.

“There are certain yoga laws and principles that are, shall we say, less tangible than others. For example, the law of karma. Science has proven what goes up must come down, but that's about as far as it's gone.
