Psychological & Spiritual Health
published on Wed. Jun. 11th, '08 by Swami AtmaIt is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Krishnamurti
In other words play the game of life in your own terms. Too many people waste their life trying to fit in and just follow the masses and the system.
The system is just there to take your money, not for your own good.

published on Sat. Dec. 15th, '07 by Swami AtmaThis is probably the most fun I've had publishing a post here. Ever. Thanks to Chandra from NY for sending the link.
Ok, the title of this post is misleading. What's tested here is not intelligence or the IQ but just short term memory.
So the question is, as a representative of the Human race, can you see, recognize and order digits faster than an ape? Please do watch the video and try to beat the chimpanzee. If you don't do it for yourself, do it for humanity. I count on you.
Cows Do Yoga in Switzerland

One of the comments received was what the original source of the information was. It comes from a blog entry in the Strange Maps blog.
Over at Strange Maps they post an astounding array of maps that cover all sorts of things humorous, serious, political, ancient, etc. which can sometimes be fun to check out. Here is a humorous map about Texans.

Jesus Is Not a Religion
published on Sun. Sep. 9th, '07 by Swami AtmaSeen on a bumper sticker ...
Jesus called. He wants his religion back.
This is the fate of founders of religions and spiritual groups that their followers rarely live up to the teachings they have promoted.
Swami Sivananda would often say that yoga is not about converting anyone but helping the Christian be a better Christian, the Jew a better jew, the Muslim a better Muslim, the Hindu a better Hindu and so on.
These words are echoed by the Dalai Lama who has written and said the same about Buddhism.

Quote of Perseverance
published on Sat. Sep. 8th, '07 by Swami AtmaI have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison
Or as Swami Sivananda put it 'every failure is a stepping stone to success'.
The rajasic mind in this rajasic modern world wants some immediate results and this applies to yoga and spirituality as well.
Unfortunately the quest to moksha is a lifelong process so the qualities of endurance and forbearance are very needed and one should acquire that steadiness which is born of sattva.

Amazon Forest Tree

Stumbled upon this interesting fact about a tree that moves quite fast towards the nearest source of water. The wonders of the combined laws of creation and evolution.

Entertaining Physics
published on Fri. Jun. 1st, '07 by Swami AtmaAmong many other marvels the modern times have given us the high speed video cameras. Those wonders can film an event up to 1000X the normal speed and can therefore play back the action in super slow motion.
The two videos below play 80 times slower than the real speed and the results are stunning.
The first one is of a water balloon falling and not blowing up.

Insightful Quote
published on Sat. Apr. 21st, '07 by Swami AtmaIf you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; If you would know, and not be known, live in a city. Charles Caleb Colton
For the last few years I have been thinking that the ideal would be to spend some time of the year in a village or very small town and some in big cities.
This thought will probably come true for me next year when I move to Levoča, staying there most of the year but still touring the world to teach yoga.

People Here Take Their Water Seriously
published on Wed. Feb. 28th, '07 by Swami Atma
The Background
Although the tap water in Germany is one of the best in the world, almost nobody in this country drinks it. About everyone buys bottled water. So water quality is predominant in one's consciousness.
No surprise then that yogis would push the envelope one (several ?!) notch further.
The H2OM Bar at Yoga Vidya Westerwald
Of course there are water bottles around but on top of that they installed several types of water filters. The two herbal tea pots are there as well for good measure.
