U G Krishnamurti had a radical physiological/psychological turnaround (he called it his "calamity") that seems to have left him asexual and spiritually transformed. (Oddly, Jiddu Krishnamurti [no relation!] had a not dissimilar spontaneous experience.)
I've wondered if those who practise either radical techniques like kayakalpa or more popular systems like hatha yoga are really trying to imitate what happens to "awakened" masters spontaneously in the hope they too will become enlightened. They copy the symptoms but can't reach into the deeply buried core cause. On the other hand . . . although both Krishnamurti's (U G and Jiddu) denied that techniques can advance anyone spiritually, both of them had had intensive training in meditation, yoga and Indian philosophy before their "calamities". I can't believe that that initial exposure had no effect. ---In [email protected], <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : I heard a local vaidya speak about kayakalpa. Doesn';t sound like many people would want to go through with it.It sounded very unpleasant. very strict regulated diet, in a hot, humid environment, no air circulating. Your teeth, hair and nails fall out and grow back. It sounded like your environment had to replicate a womb and took months to complete. Any interruption could screw things up. Probably better to just take a completely new body. From: "Bhairitu noozguru@...

I visited a kaya kalpa center in Cochin, India. They were heavy into Indian martial arts. The guys looked in their 40s but maybe they were 400 years old. :-D One of their most accomplished students was a woman from Eugene, Oregon. On 04/21/2016 06:18 PM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...
