Dedication to work is Karma Yoga.
Meditation on Supreme is Jnana Yoga.
Bhakti Yoga is for sedentary ones.
Karma Yoga is for energetic ones.
Jnana Yoga is for intellectuals.
Bhakti Yoga is for adults.

Besides Bhakti Yoga and Jnana Yoga

Yoga Is As Yoga Does
(words & music by nelson - burch)
Well I can see that you and yoga will never do
Yoga is as yoga does theres no in-between
Your either with it on the ball or youve blown the scene
I can see lookin at you, you just cant get settled
How can I even move, twistin like a pretzel
(yoga is, yoga does)
(theres no in-between)
(your either with it all the way) or youve blown the scene
(or youve blown the scene)
Come on come on, untwist my legs
Pull my arms a lot
How did I get so tied up
In this yoga knot
You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors
(yoga is, yoga does)
(theres no in-between)
(your either with it all the way) or youve blown the scene
(or youve blown the scene)
Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
Yogas sure to catch you if you come falling down
(yoga is, yoga does)
(theres no in-between)
(your either with it all the way) or youve blown the scene
(or youve blown the scene)
(yoga is, yoga does)
(theres no in-between)
(your either with it all the way) or youve blown the scene
(or youve blown the scene)

song of Father Gabriele Amorth
The Daily Mail, UK and Herald Sun (Australia) report on how
Father Gabriele Amroth of the Vatican teaches that yoga and
Harry Potter and the ‘oriental religions’ are
the works of the Devil...the following poem expresses my outrage
at such stupidity and parochialism that still exists
amongst some groups of Europeans even today in their relations
with the East
O yoga yoga
baby baby
sings Father Gabriele Amorth
in the Italian town of Terni
O yoga yoga
no go no go
to yoga yoga
baby baby
all you innocents
and pure
all blessed
and destined for Heaven
no go to yoga yoga

sugar in your yogurt is fine
strawberry and apple
in your yogurt is fine
so eat eat your

O yoga yoga
no go no go no go baby

sings Father Gabriele Amorth
in the Italian town of Terni
and also no go to Harry Potter

and no go no go
to Harry Potter

“yoga yoga yoga

and say after me:

O baby baby baby
at our next conference
I’ll teach you
how the Dragon is bad
and how the Chinese got it all wrong
all these centuries
with their Chinese Dragon, Dragon, Dragon
but that’s for next time
next time next time
baby baby baby
for now just repeat after me
your most reverend
Father Gabriele Amorth
in the Italian town of Terni:
O yoga yoga

to yoga yoga

And say after me
all ye faithful
all ye blessed:

Remedies to health
Tired?
Katha Yoga sooths aching muscles.
Wired?
Dhyan rests the warring mind.
Uninspired?
Spontaneous movements in
Dance or play tones the sagging thought.
Mired?
Involvement in arts, music or writing
Unlashes the crippled bodily Instincts.

To Warm Up
Play, walk, gym, swim, yoga-
Each exclusive of the others
In benefits- maintains your health.
In ply the reflex action,
In walk the heart, in gym
The muscles, in swim the resistance
And in yoga the endocrine organs
Would singularly strengthen.

Finding Peace Within
Where are your children?
They are awfully quiet this evening.
'We're trying new methods of discipline.
My doctor told me this morning,
I should try yoga to calm my nerves.'
That's great.
So you taught the children?
Is that where they are?
Doing yoga?
'Oh no!
I found an easier way to find peace within.
For a half hour each day...
And for total relaxation,
I tie the kids up and tape their mouths! '
You shouldn't do that.
That's against the law.
'That's where you and I disagree.
I am finding peace within.
And they are helping me locate it!
I told them my doctor suggested I do this,
For at least two weeks.
They believe this is lesson one! '
What is lesson two?
'Total rage!
That is what they will see.
If they forget the rules of lesson one.'
But you're not doing any yoga at all.
'I beg to differ.
It's a slow process.
I am working on my breathing technique.
Calms the nerves!
You should try it.
It's wonderful.'

A Yoga Guru, Ram Dev
A bearded look,
Hiding his expression beneath it,
Once claimed to be the champion of
Anti-corruption movement,
Now crouched under his yoga carpet,
And curruption has become a nightmare for him,
For someone else has taken the whole credit,
He is a yoga guru who has some political aspirations to serve,
He is suffering from the disease of nationalism,
And thus has a narrow outlook,
It appears that he has no faith in 'VASUDEVA KUTUMBKUM',
Claims to be a friar though drowned
In the ocean of wealth upto the neck,
From his patriotism to his idealism,
Everything seems to be artificial,
For he is adept in preaching only,
And remains miles away from practice.

Raja Yoga
Prana is not mere air,
Nor is it a sheer breath.
It is much more,
More than what you breathe.
Prana causes you to breathe.
Prana is in your motion,
That causes you to breathe.
It pushes you to exhale
And pulls you to inhale.
Watch it, train it, be its raja.[king]
Mastering prana is Raja Yoga.
It gives you an insight to your soul.

Yinged and Yanged
If I never ever see you,
You'd be fine!
And I'd be too!
If you never see the 'me' I am,
I still will not deserve
To be kicked to the curb and slammed.
'Cause I believe I've yinged and yanged my needs.
Doing yoga to get over.
Making my life much more easier for me.
And I do it to get over the hump!
I do it to get over the hump.
Yes I do it to get over the hump.
Taking every lump and crushing it to dump!
I do it to get over the hump!
I do it to get over the hump.
Yes I do it to get over the hump.
Taking every lump and crushing it to dump!
If I never ever see you,
You'd be fine!
And I'd be too!
'Cause I believe I've yinged and yanged my needs.
Doing yoga to get over.
Making my life much more easier me.
And I do it to get over the hump!
I do it to get over the hump.
Yes I do it to get over the hump.
And taking every lump and crushing it to dump!
I do it to get over the hump!
I do it to get over the hump.
Yes I do it to get over the hump.
And taking every lump and crushing it to dump!
'Cause I do yoga.
And I ain't bi-polar.
I don't drink soda.
To stir my motor.
As I grow older,
I don't cry on shoulders.
I get right up!
And I strut my stuff,
With a strength that's tough.
And I...
Do it to get over the hump!
I do it to get over the hump.
Yes I do it to get over the hump.
And taking every lump and crushing it to dump!
Do it to get over the hump.
Yes I do it to get over the hump.
I will do it to get over the hump.
And taking every lump and crushing it to dump!
Yinged and yanged,
Over the hump.
I've yinged and yanged,
Over the hump.
Yinged and yanged,
Over the hump.
I've yinged and yanged,
Over the hump.

An appreciation on Savitri-
Book I The Book of Beginnings-canto-3-
The Yoga of the King: The Yoga of the Soul's Release
Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's
Yoga of Aswapati-
So was the necessity for a fresh tread
So was 'brought down to earth''her radiant power.'
As was the 'divine right', 'a greater sonship' too
Whose'soul lived as eternity's delegate, '
Whose 'mind was like a fire assailing heaven, '
Whose 'will a hunter in the trails of light..'
And'this bodily appearance is not all;
The form deceives, the person is a mask; '
'Across our nature's border line we escape
Into Supernature's arc of living light.
This now was witnessed in that son of Force;
In him that high transition laid its base.'
Change and cast of destiny's fortune in that son..
'The cosmic Worker set his secret hand
To turn this frail mud-engine to heaven-use.
Began 'the Yoga of the Soul's Release'
'The conscious ends of being went rolling back: '
'Life's barriers opened into the Unknown.'
'Annulled the soul's treaty with Nature's nescience.'
This wakening, be it the law of the transient to reappear
A woe-doused life to restart in lighted understanding
And the king's 'march now soared into an eagle's flight.'
'Out of apprenticeship to Ignorance
Wisdom upraised him to her master craft'
'Above mind's twilight and life's star-led night
There gleamed the dawn of a spiritual day.'
A hope and a bliss of the thirsty questers..
'Humanity framed his movements less and less;
A greater being saw a greater world'
As for the weaker beings to apprehend and follow
............My consciousness this moment,
O'Guru, I'm in awe....in invincible heights
Ineffable Thee embellishing poetic creation
My inquisitive apprehension, erring Thee may opine
May thereso, let Savitri in my self arise
Aroused thereso be knowledge and fortune

Aurobindo-6-Savitri-Book -1
An appreciation on Savitri-
Book I The Book of Beginnings-canto-3-
The Yoga of the King: The Yoga of the Soul's Release
Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's
Yoga of Aswapati-
'In hands sustained by a transfiguring Might
He caught up lightly like a giant's bow
Left slumbering in a sealed and secret cave
The powers that sleep unused in man within.'
Andthere, promoted pristine experience unfurled
A revelation the soul was offered
'The gifts of the spirit crowding came to him;
They were his life's pattern and his privilege'.
'The world's thought-streams travelled into his ken; '
Tuned to 'ethereal symphonies' was the king's soul
'A world unseen, unknown by outward mind
Appeared in the silent spaces of the soul.'
Unlike incapable in every human's unopened lay-mind
Great he saw his 'secret face'
His'mind leaned out to meet the hidden worlds: '
Unlike the still attached mind of a departed common soul
Ambrosial 'honey of Paradise', aromatic celestial fragrance
'Heavenly hues', 'a channel of universal harmony'
All 'beneath the cosmic surfaces' by a 'secret sense
'In the unceasing drama carried by Time'
That are 'Inaudible to our deaf mortal ears'..
'All was revealed there none can here express; '
'The kings of evil and the kings of good'
'Battled for his soul as for a costly prize'
'It was a region of wonder and delight..'where world was not'
And the king 'looked beyond into a nameless vast.'
'There unity is too close for search and clasp'
'And oneness is the soul of multitude.'
And isn't that oneness every human looking for
Despite sky-high desirous sufferings...
............My consciousness this moment,
O'Guru, I'm in awe....in invincible heights
Ineffable Thee embellishing poetic creation
My inquisitive apprehension, erring Thee may opine
May thereso, let Savitri in my self arise
Aroused thereso be knowledge and fortune

Carnival
You know youre not a strong man
And youre just about to cry
Hang on its alright
You worry about the future
The sign says yoga class for cats
Its okay
The dynamite is waiting
They bankurpted the sky
Youre frustrated by the cracks in
The pavement
And every mothers back...
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world ever turns around
Youll be there when everybody is sane
