“Go and learn what this means, I want mercy and not
sacrifice.” Matthew 9:13 from the Lamsa translation from
Aramaic.
Part of Yoga is developing a sense of gratitude. Giving no matter how little or how much creates a sense of abundance that carries over to other aspects of life. These are people or organizations we have contributed to in the past and respect and honor.
These folks have a remarkable way of addressing poverty in youth in our community.

The following is a story meant for very serious and competitive yogis
and yoginis who are most advanced. We humbly offer you…
Two prime ministers were sitting in a room discussing affairs
of state. Suddenly an aide burst in, shouting and stamping and banging
his fist on the desk. The host prime minister quietly said, “Peter,
kindly remember Rule Number Six.” Peter was instantly restored to
complete calm, apologized for the interruption, and left the room. The
prime ministers resumed their discussion. Several minutes later,
another aide rushed in, shouting and stamping. Again the host prime
minister quietly said, “Marie, please remember Rule Number Six.” Marie
calmed down immediately, apologized, and left the room. The visiting
prime minister said “I’ve seen many things in my life, but never
anything as remarkable as this. Tell me, what is this Rule Number Six?”
The host prime minister said, “It’s really very simple. Rule Number Six
is ‘Don’t take yourself so damned seriously.’” After a moment of
pondering, the visiting prime minister inquired, “And what, may I ask,
are the other rules?” The host replied, “There aren’t any.”
The following sites are for those of us who follow Rule Number Six.
Remember rule number six and your smilasana pose. With love and peace, Namaste. We will be adding things periodically, check back often. Please feel free to link us to your site, if you would like us to add your link, e-mail us:
