I went to a kundalini yoga lecture the other day on the virtues of vegetarianism. I noticed that many people people sat on sheepskin mats. I assume that many people walked to the program on leather shoes.
I wear leather and I have a big heart. If I can forgive my trespasses, then I can also forgive the trespasses of others.
Inconsistency in matters of religion and spirituality and exercise rarely bother me.
(Maybe it is faux sheepskin. Or the sheep were going to die anyway for their meat, so what’s the harm in harvesting their skin?)
My blog is all about Judaism meeting the streets. The theory is fascinating but it is how real people grapple and apply the theory that most intrigues me.
I came to Judaism through Dennis Prager who taught that almost nothing is "all or nothing." If you can’t give 10% of your income to charity, then it is better to give 9% than 1%.
I’m listening to these CDs recommend by my yoga teacher. Guru Ram Das promises: "This healing sound current brings you inner guidance and protection from the negativity of the world and Mool Mantra (for Personal Growth) This is a "root" sound current, the repetition of which eradicates tensions and conflict and gives you progress on both a spiritual and material level."
Can a CD do this?
Then there’s my Triple Mantra CD which promises: Triple Mantra clears all types of psychic and physical obstacles in one’s daily life. It is a sure protection against car, plane or other accidents. It cuts through all opposing vibrations, thoughts, words and actions. Listening to or chanting TRIPLE MANTRA will strengthen your magnetic field and keep negativity away.
There are three parts to this mantra. The first part, starting with AD GURAY NAMEH, will surround you with a powerful light of protection. Chanting the first part of this mantra gives you space, which means that your aura protects you by 9 feet. If you are early or late by 9 feet, you may not be entangled with that moment in time of a particular event. In other words, you cannot stop time, but you can gain or lose space. The second part of the mantra, starting with AD SUCH, will remove obstacles from your spiritual path. The third part will remove all types of obstacles from your daily life.
