“A lot of the book [The Yoga of Max's Discontent] is about karma and rebirth. Things like that are very attuned to my life as an Indian, but when I approach it from a perspective of a Westerner, then I have a skeptical, yet kind of novice view on it.

So, I think that allowed the story to take on its own momentum, to have its own propulsive force.” ThinkingKindBookStoriesChoicesForceViewsMinesPerspectiveApproachYogaKarmaConclusionIndianRebirthSkepticalMomentumDiscontentMaxLiberatedWesternersNovices Author:Karan Bajaj

“This is what our yoga practice is trying to accomplish. Not white light descending from heaven and engulfing you, not energy released from the base of your spine going up through your crown chakra so you become a human lightening bolt, not a halo floating on top of your head. Simply heightened states of awareness, enlightenment, becoming more and more aware which gives more and more insight, which brings wisdom and gives choice. With that wisdom and choice, we become the masters of our destiny and at peace in our life.” GivingTryingHumansStatesLightChoicesEnergyHeavenWhitePracticeDestinyOur LivesAwarenessMastersBecomingEnlightenmentYogaInsightAccomplishCrownsFloatingOur DestinySpineBecoming MoreBoltsChakraDescendingYoga PracticeHalosWhite LightEngulfing Author:Bryan Kest
