This was the view from my table at Peaches in Aspen this morning where I got to read the inspirational Vyasa Puja 2011 Offering of Maharaja.
He paid tribute to his Guru by saying : " That both purity & intelligent strategy are needed to spread Lord Chaitanya's divine mission.
On the holy day of your appearance , we pray that you bless us with purity & intelligence that we can powerfully perpetuate your grand movement and serve you as worthy descendants . "
There is no escaping the lofty views of the various peaks & mountains around Aspen , and with this in mind , Maharaja's message regarding purity & intelligence , higher thinking.
Leslie Hendry wrote this genuine & intelligent article in the Huffington Post today as well entitled " Yoga Gives Back Around the World . "
Here is an excerpt which resonated with me : " Here's what I do know: The physical practice of yoga changes the body. As the body changes, our physical, mental and emotional well-being improves.
So much so that I've made lifelong friends, studied scripture and philosophy ( We were classmates at Joel Bender's Sanskrit classes ) , traveled near and far to practice yoga with compadres and respected teachers, and I contribute through Yoga Gives Back , a non-profit that helps women build sustainable livelihoods with microloans and helps their children reach their dreams through education.
