There were some interesting claims by Chopra. He claimed to have learned a program based on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras from the Shankaracharya in 1980. His claim poses some interesting time line issues. Is he describing his experience with MMY on a sidhi course? He mixes up a few different techniques in his description, some virtues sutras, some A of E technique, which he sold to me right in his doctor's office in Stonham Mass for $700 in around '87, and some other forgiveness techniques common in new age seminars. Could any of this be true? Was he with MMY in 80?
His magic bird attraction story also has problems for me. Holding out food to tame birds makes them come to you for the food. Without the food he would have an unusual story. With the food you've got nothing. He shifted the story to make it sound like magic at first. He claims that after the three week course with the Shankaracharya , he would see a bird on a tree and have the intention for it to come to him and it would. Later he mentions using grain or nuts to feed the birds. I'm guessing he fed some parrots nuts, most birds can't eat them, and some pigeons grain, most birds don't want grain but pigeons love millet. Or just made the whole nonsense up start to finish. Wanna know a surefire way to tell if Chopra is lying? Watch his lips, if they are moving, bingo! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Oct 30, 2006, at 9:55 AM, sparaig wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer <groups@> wrote: > > > >> > >> Several people presented on the page. > >> > >> http://www.emissaryoflight.com/_.aspx? > >> content=Spiritual_Peacemaking_Form& > >> ;t_s=44 > >> > >> > > > > So... > > > > In 1980, he took a special class from the Shankaracharya of the > > North and learned how to > > charm animals... > > > > Ummm....
