DOSHA-In Hindu ethics, the five moral defects: lust (kama), anger (krodha), greed (lobha), fear (bhaya) and sleep (svapna). (Shambala Ency-Feuerstein) Are these the 'sleeping elephants' MMY talks about? Do these conscious and sub-conscious attachments tie the soul down to the body and disable it from transcending to Spirit? Awakening the serpent fire Kundalini, (essential to conscious transcendence) can only occur when a certain amount of self-control has been gained over these moral defects, hence the importance of the ethical life in Yoga.
