Yoga Initiation
Yoga began for me when I unexpectedly received shaktipat in Vancouver, BC in 1988. My friend Edward was a follower of an Indian Meditation master named Gurumayi and he invited me to come and see her at the Orpheum Theatre downtown. I had no interest in following a Guru and as a Westerner I didn’t really understand what that meant and it wasn’t a part of my cultural experience. Even though I had studying to do that evening I went because I was curious and I trusted my friend.
