Yoga does not happen much


The most "enlightened" are going to practice in India .  Often it is not fat cats who can afford it (they have just the opposite - business, not up) and ordinary residents of our broad country.  Such cases are now quite a lot.  People are selling an apartment, buy a ticket to India ... In fact, in order to understand what is going on, let's turn the situation on the contrary: a yogi inspired our Orthodox culture, read a lot about the life of the holy fathers, and went to Russia to get this most holy father.
Even if he did not steal a purse, it does not give to drink vodka, railway station and the intelligentsia, he will not go to the police arriving at the nearest church, he will get the service that does not understand a word, and it certainly scold some old woman because he do not go put out the candle.

And it's not because the Orthodox churches, we are bad.  This is because yoga is too far from our culture.  He has to live here more than a year before will understand the greatness of our churches, the beauty of chants, learn the canons.  How much would he not read the literature of Orthodoxy in his India, in practice, always a little different and more complicated than writing the books.
That's our people.  On arrival in India, this fabulous country, you will not meet at the station a detachment yoga masters.  To find a really good yogi, you have to travel all over the country.  And not the fact that you will find it.  And not the fact that he wants to share his knowledge.
And do not think that travel agencies offering members of the fashion yoga you in something to help.  Yoga - it's just entertainment for tourists, which will not help you attain enlightenment.
