Yeah, I noticed that my name appeared as the one who posted the message and I was a bit taken aback. Hey, that's not what I wrote[:0] Now I understand what happened.
Thank you for your answer.
Well, I just said that I placed a credit card order for Kriya Yoga initiation from
http://www.manoftheeast.com 3 days before I discovered Yogani's AYP Yahoo Groups, and that I became a bit anxious when I read tecniques with similar names being taught for free at AYP.
I could have payed $200.00 for the same thing, but of course I am not yet sure... not until I receive the materials, which has already been sent and could arrive anytime now.
I also said that if ever the techniques contained in the initiation packet is the same as the ones in AYP (the names are the same) I would report it here in this forum to save potential buyers from paying $200.00 for something that can be learned for free over the Internet.
Ahm, another thing I remember saying was that the young Asian man, Daryl, also teaches advanced methods and guides aspirants thru the Internet the same as with Yogani in that respect, but they differ in that Yogani imparts what he knows without charge while Daryl requires a minimum donation of $200.00 (for the first initiation, I believe there are 4) called
prayaschitta.
What I just said formed a moral question in my head, is it right to charge money for spiritual instruction? What I mean is everyone seems to be charging nowadays. Transcendental Meditation, for example, charges $600.00 to a thousand+ depending on where you are. Yoga came from India and according to the Indian yogis, and non-Indian yoga enthusiasts who had the opportunity of studying yoga there, money has always been part of the tradition. I would like to hear your's and other people's opinion about this matter as well.
