I'd like to meet:
I'd be quite interested in meeting my Self some time ;-)
Most of all though I want to meet the "Ordinary Buddha's" - i.e. YOU.
I'd especially love to connect with those interested in Yoga following the Krishnamacharya tradition - being focused around the teachings of the amazing T Krishnamacharya, his son, TKV Desikachar and grandson (my teacher), Kausthub Desikachar. Check out the websites of the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram and the Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation if you want to know more.
I would also really love to hear all about your own approach to life, spirituality and/or Yoga. I am always very interested in hearing about other aspects and paths.
***NOTE ON FRIEND REQUESTS***
I am not interested in "collecting" friends for the sake of it, or on being part of someone else's colelction of random strangers they wish to link to without any interest in developing a relationship. I am interested in developing genuine connections with other people who wish to engage with me. If you are sending me a friend request, send a message telling me why you want to connect with me (and no general nonsense like, "you seem like a nice guy"). If you don't, I will reject your request as SPAM (which it is, 'cause I just asked yout not to do it without contacting me first.
