Yoga Teacher Training Forum

Dear Parell,

You teach yoga, but you are over the top about religion. I sense you have a good Christian religious foundation. I'm not a Christian, but you have to stop judging Christian extremists. Also, we shouldn't judge any extremists. There is no need to because they are slowly becoming educated. Education is the opposite of ignorance.

On the issue of self-relization. When a yogi becomes completely self-aware there is complete consciousness of action. No need to ruffle religious feathers here. Let it go! Extremists come in all shapes, sizes, and religions. I feel upset, when I read or hear statements by Hindu fundamentalists because they share my way of life, but they hurt people through ignorance. We are most embarassed by our own when they speak or write in ignorance. Please take the high road and forgive them for their ignorance. Perhaps the mistakes of the past will change their hearts.
