November 28, 2010Krishna Das/Ram Dass Live Event and Saving Yoga's Soul

I'm enjoying some quiet un-plugged time for a week or so. That's my way of celebrating the holiday. Okay, I'm not 100% un-plugged, but I'm close. So, in the interest of keeping my computer time brief, I'll get right to the few things that caught my interest today:

November 30th Live Online Event

Liiv.com is sponsoring a live event featuring Krishna Das and Ram Dass this Tuesday, November 30 at 7:00PM EST. The event will include a Krishna Das concert, a talk with Ram Dass, and a movie chronicling Ram Dass' journey from his classic book, Be Here Now, to his new book, Be Love Now. Click here to learn more and to register for this free event.

Saving Yoga's Soul

Even though religion and yoga aren't interwined, are we doing a disservice to yoga by ignoring Hinduism's influence on the practice? The Hindu American Foundation is waging a "Take Back Yoga" campaign in the hopes of raising awareness of yoga's debt to Hindu's ancient traditions. You can read more about it in the NY Times. What do you think, all? Have we lost sight of one of the biggest influences on yoga or is this just another attempt to own yoga?

I hope that the gratitude glow of the holiday is still with you. I'll be back online late next week.

Namaste!
