Though the names karma yoga and sannyasa are different, the truth at the heart of both is the same.

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)

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

in the Italian town of Terni
O yoga yoga

in the Italian town of Terni
and also no go to Harry Potter

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:

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.

Karma Killer
(talking: You've been naughty...very very naughty)
Are you cut up
Or do you easily forget
Are you still around
Why haven't you managed to die yet
You could prop up the bar in hell
How do you sleep
You've never loved
Why was I never good enough
You thought you'd leave me falling forever
Karma killer
Needless to say
I guess you know I hate you
You're so full of sin
Even the devil rates you
I hope you choke
On your Bacardi and Coke
How do you breathe
Why don't you cry
How come you never ask me why
You're not a man stand and deliver
Karma killer
How do you sleep
You've never loved
Why was I never good enough
You thought you'd leave me falling forever
Karma killer
Karma killer
Karma killer
Karma killer
I hope you choke
On your Bacardi and Coke
Look what you didn't take from me
Look what you didn't take from me
Look what you didn't take from me
Look what you didn't take from me
I don't need to take revenge
Cos they're coming to get you
There's no hope for you my friend
Cos they're coming to get you
Karma killer

Unfortunate Dog Names
John knows that his dog's name
is just a wee bit silly
but he giggles just the same
when he says 'Please pet my Willy'
Sue's got a dog named 'Karma'
and when it mis-behaves
she says it's just 'Bad Karma'
(but good karma on other days?)
Then there's the dog of our new neighbor
we can't help but laugh a lot
whenever she opens her door
and hollers... 'Come Spot! '

You've Hit Me With Your Karma
I can't get myself away!
Whatever I do or say...
It's you!
Who gets me with your karma.
I can't get myself away!
It's true.
And I try to hide my drama.
No...
I can't get myself away!
Whatever I do or say...
It's you!
Who gets me with your karma.
I can't get myself away!
It's true.
And I try to hide my drama.
You've got your hooks in me.
So deep that I can't leave...
Or plead,
'Free me let me go! '
You've got this recipe,
That feeds me all my wants and needs.
I'm crawling 'whipped' and on my knees.
I can't get myself away!
Whatever I do or say...
It's you!
Who gets me with your karma.
I can't get myself away!
It's true.
And I try to hide my drama.
Oh, oh!
Trapped in and I'm locked.
Oh, oh!
Why don't I want it to stop!
Oh, oh!
What is this that you've got?
Oh, oh...
You made it easy to be weak!
I can't get myself away!
Whatever I do or say...
It's you!
Who gets me with your karma.
I can't get myself away!
It's true.
And I try to hide my drama.
Oh, ooooh...
I'm tryin' to hide my drama.
Oh, ooooh...
But you've hit me with your karma!

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.

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.

Those Who Spread Falsehoods
What others say of me can't say I much care
Since of my own shortcomings I am all too aware
But when speaking of me of me do not lie
Since you would not like lies to be spread about you neither would I.
Some truths of me may seem bitter but the truth I can take
I won't lose sleep to the truth all night in bed awake
To deliberately spread lies about someone is a terrible thing
Those who spread falsehoods bad karma on themselves do bring.
Sometimes by the truth friendships are lost and won
But the truth is the truth when all is said and done
The truth can convict you or set you free
And the truth is never wrong with that most would agree
Though we may not always like of us what is true
I will accept the truth since the truth is my due
But deliberate lies of us seem hard to forgive
For I too believe in live and let live.

Karma of the Hindu
Karma is the law of cause and effect,
The third law of Newton in operation.
Every action has a reaction
But Karma is a little more than that.
Like deeds, one’s thoughts too have repercussions.
The effects cause subsequent reactions
That form a chin wherein one would be caught.
The one will get back what one has thrown.
If the theory is true or not, I don’t know.
It lends harmony, builds ethics and pride
And installs shame as a powerful weapon.
Fear Karma if not the god at least.

Grandeur Of Nature
The darkness showcases its grief,
unpublished,
in the night-sky of remembrance.
The unknown flashes its whereabouts
in the hurling winds of anonymity,
above the almighty sea.
And then wrapped in scarlet,
the sky blushes,
under the sun's romantic caresses.
The youth of the spring,
blooms in one flower of awakening.
And the watery edge
of the lotus-leaf
portrays the curve of karma-yoga.
Bathed in dew-drops,
yet untouched by water!

Karma spayment
Uh-oh down low
I am not who I want to be
I probably will not ever be
I drove my car june 14th
I drove it right down the street
I had not had any sleep
So I ate minithins to stay awake
You crashed your car right into me
There was two days I didnt sleep
Uh-oh downlow
I am not who I want to be
I probably will not ever be
I took a trip down to california
Karma payment plan
My car broke down out in the street
The radiator sprung a leak
I met this guy he said he could help me
Im on the karma payment plan
We went to his house and did some speed
He said karma would pay for this deed
He got it fixed and he started to scare me
I ditched him eventually
And came back for the car
The next morning
Im on the karma payment plan
I went to la the next day I got
Jacked in a real bad way
I cant tell you
Its a long story

Karma Chameleon
Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
Im a man without conviction
Im a man who doesnt know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green
Didnt hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go youre gone forever
You string along
You string along
Every day is like a survival
Youre my lover not my rival
Every day is like a survival
Youre my lover not my rival
Im a man without conviction
Im a man who doesnt know
How to sell a contradication
You come and go

Sorry Note
I write this for I'm not better than you
But because I would like to atone for your pain,
Since your sins you cannot contain
Sorry that you swayed me into your heart
I grew fond of you right from the start
Sorry that you caused me grief
That made our love abrupt, acutely brief
Sorry that Karma subsists in our lives
And that Karma cant help but give back to those and their lies
Sorry that in the end it'll make you sore
But I'll apologize even though it might be a bit of a bore
I'm sorry, I'm able to apologize
Something you never do to compromise

The Name Above All Names
Every book that's in the Bible has prophecies galore.
They are there for each disciple to praise God more and more.
The angels look into these things, new wonders each proclaims.
Of Jesus Christ each angel sings... The name above all names...
The Holy Spirit grants us truth... That's what He's all about.
The Holy Scriptures count as proof, to overcome Man's doubt.
A fruitful life full of good deeds, toward this each one aims,
Yet only Jesus Christ succeeds... The name above all names...
Who else has holy blood to shed, prepared to take a stance?
Who else has risen from the dead, God's pardon in His hands?
Who else shares wisdom night and day? Who else the Devil shames?
Christ is the life, the truth, the way, the name above all names...
Blessed is the heart that loves the Lord, when God's work has begun.
In Jesus, we can stand assured in what Christ's Blood has done.
Born of a virgin, undefiled, all guilt the Saviour tames...
In whose name are we reconciled? The name above all names!
