Gadget Rumor: Project Natal Arriving November 2010 For $80
According to MCV gaming site, Microsoft's Project Natal will launch next November for as little as $80 (we heard $50 last month). The rumor also says that Microsoft will kick out a console bundle that includes the Natal camera and perhaps a few games to go along with it. As of now 14 games are supposedly being readied from a variety of studios, while Microsoft is preparing 5 million unit for shipment during the initial launch.
Project Natal was announced at this year's E3 and was received with mixed reactions from the gaming and gadget community. The system uses a special camera to read your body gestures and objects, and then incorporates them into the game, providing a more engaging gaming experience, or that's how the marketing material goes. The Natal is Microsoft's answer to the Wii, while Sony has their own version arriving early next year as well.

Yoga: Multiple Pathways to the Path of One!
Is this headline a contradiction, a misunderstanding, a philosophically incorrect statement? Perhaps not. As I have written many times before, yoga is not an either/or lifestyle. Yoga is a yes/and lifestyle.
In the West, yoga is often synonymous with posture practice, with various forms of hatha yoga. In its homeland India, a yogi can be anyone from a meditating swami to a ganja smoking sadhu to an ochre clad Tantric to a Bhakti-singing ecstatic to someone practicing yoga in an upper class studio in New Delhi.
In its essential purity, yoga is rooted in its body-practices, in its transcending mental outlook and inclusive spirituality. Yoga is body-centered, mind-expanding, and spiritually uplifting. Yoga is yes/and.
For Patanjali, the great philosophical sage, yoga was a deep methodology of personal transformation, which, in its purest essence transcends both religion and dogma.
Thus you will find hashish smoking sadhus in India, deeply steeped in religious tradition, reciting Patanjali's Yoga Sutras along the burning ghats of Varanasi; you will find bespectacled pundits leafing through his works in Sanskrit in small, dusty rooms. You will not find, however, people dancing and chanting in entranced inwardness to the wisdom of Patanjali's sacred texts. His work was much too philosophical for that.
For ecstatic examples of yoga you need Kabir or Mirabai, the medieval poet iconoclasts. The fearless Kabir stepped on religious dogma as if dusty dirt under his naked feet. Beyond convention, he embraced both Islam and Hindusim. And today, in India, you will find both Muslim and Hindu villagers singing his songs with equal amounts of devotion. And, as Kabir himself, fiercely on the guru-path, they are also yogis—yogis of the heart.
Mirabai broke the chains of a loveless marriage and embraced her fierce love as a whirling Bhakti Yogi in her songs of longing for her Beloved Krishna. All over India, yogis of the soul sing her songs until the heart wishes their sweet weeping will never end. And for some, the singing finally ends in an inner trance of Kevala Bhakti—when lover and Beloved are embracing as One. To a yogi in the state of Kevala Bhakti, everything is Brahman, everything is experienced as Spirit.
For the great orator, Advaita Vedantin, and majestic meditator, Swami Vivekananda, yoga was Sanatan Dharma, the great religion of the human spirit, colorfully expressed in the form of an intellectually sophisticated and modern Hinduism. He urged us to change, both ourselves and the world.
For another Vedantin, the quiet sage of South India, Ramana Maharshi, yoga was the ocean of silence within. His spiritual realization was both a detached witness to the world and a sharp sword of discrimination that flashed forth the light of life's ultimate wisdom. He hardly practiced asanas beyond his meditation poses; he did not urge anyone to change the world, except the world within. He was the ultimate yogi of the I AM.
In America, in sweaty yoga studios, posture yogis, who may never have seen a live sadhu or been to India, practice with the fervor of Olympic athletes. They speak of their body-mind-spirit practice, yet they may never meditate, except, perhaps, on their breath when they move. And move they do, beautifully, artfully, sometimes even nakedly.
Their body is their song, their body is their prayer. And, at other times, the body is the biggest part of their ego. Nevertheless, they are yogis. They are as much yogis as that chillum smoking sadhu by that everflowing river of the Indian imagination.
So how can yoga be all that—and even more? Because, yoga is a multiple path and practice. Yoga is practice for the body, yoga is practice for the heart, yoga is practice for the spirit. And for the human imagination.
Yoga is deep, spiritual intention, deep, spiritual being in the moment while you are in the flow of doing what you love.
In that spirit, yoga can be music, yoga can be walking, yoga can be plain sitting. Plain doing nothing. That is, if you invoke the spirit of yoga into those prosaic moments of life. Otherwise it is plain doing nothing.
In order to invoke the spirit of yoga, the sages developed various practices. So what distinguishes yoga from other daily activities is its deep methodology—a science, practice or lifestyle of the body, the mind, and the spirit. Yoga tones the body, focuses your intention and expands your awareness.
Intention and attention gives yoga practice the ability to both deepen and transcend our everyday awareness. If you practice posture yoga and your attention is both breath and body, you tone the body and align your awareness with deeper recesses of your mind. Your awareness expands. The moment expands.
If you add spiritual ideation and a mantra to that practice, the quality of your awareness may deepen or expand even more, as the mantra is your mental asana, and it has cosmic power all of its own. And if you practice sitting meditation after your mantra-and-breath-focused posture practice, your awareness becomes more subtle and still, more inward and blissful. A sacred symbiosis has been created.
In yoga, we employ a conducive methodology and practice to achieve certain physical, mental and spiritual results or experiences. If you want your yoga poses to effect your mood and your glands and your endocrine system more than your alignment, you practice a certain way, you breathe a certain way.
Likewise, when you meditate, different methodologies and techniques produce certain results. Some calm, some energize, some focus the mind. Others do all of the above. Yet others produce a spontaneous inner magic that transcends all differences, even mind itself. We experience unity beyond technique, in spiritual oneness and deep peace.
The spiritual consummation of yoga, say the Tantric yogis, is union in the realm of spirit. And spirit, by its all-pervading nature resides in both heaven and earth, transcends and includes body and mind.
Yoga is transformation. At its best, yoga refines both body and mind, so that their functions may emulate and reflect the world of nature, of spirit. Yoga is to bring a part of heaven into the world of body and mind. Or to experience that body (Shakti) and mind (Shiva) are both heavenly. Hence, the Tantric concept of the body as Divine Temple.
In some yoga paths, such as in Vedanta, body and mind are seen as illusions, as diversions of spirit. The Vedantin yogi may shun the body and the world and anything else diverting his or her attention from dwelling in the heavenly Spirit realm. That is also yoga. Quite a different path from Bikram's, whose aging yet handsome body projects a confident physicality that is far from illusory.
Some insist that deep, meditative experiences can be as easily induced while doing asanas or bike riding. They insist scratching your ass is no different than having a Samadhi experience. I suggest, it depends who does the scratching., you or the Buddha. Saying all experiences are the same is as silly as saying you can perform your asana postures in your mind while meditating and reap the same physical benefits.
There are levels of interior transcendence, just as there are levels of proficiency in doing asanas. There are levels of depth, levels of intensity in our inner experiences. There are levels of being, or koshas in yoga, which will determine the level of depth of your perception, feeling, or experience. Hence there are many types of Samadhi experiences, many types of psychological ecstasies, or trances.
As you practice your yoga asanas according to your teacher and your style, you will get certain results. That is achieved by following the science, the methodology of yoga. Similarly, the methodology of meditation is practiced on its own terms, in its own realm, with its own goals. And this practice of inner yoga is also, like posture yoga, part art and part science.
The point is, there are many forms of yoga, and they will all give you different results and experiences. If your aim is spiritual realization, then make meditation and study and chanting your primary focus—daily and intensely—with asanas and a vegetarian diet thrown in for good balance. If your goal is deep fitness and a wholesome lifestyle, then keep doing your asanas regularly (and eat your veggies, too!)
The good news is, we are all yogis! And, in the ultimate spiritual sense, yoga is both many and one. Just like the colorful garden of humanity itself! One humanity, many people. One yoga, many paths.

very well written , good explanatory piece to share, takk, vennen
Thanks for that endorsement, min gode venn!
Considering the talk going on in the East/West Yoga Community about what IS yoga, this, piece hits some bases. Recently, it was called to my attention that Americans who have incorporated Sanscrit Lingo into thier vocabularies to describe spiritual experiences have perhaps picked up a pigeon lingo which may or may not be offensive to many Hindus. With the increased Globalization of the past 40 years we have incorporated Eastern concepts and vocabulary into our culture in the West. Apparently, they may feel we are mis interpreting them and imposing our cultural values of speech onto thier sacred speech. I have to say, it never occured to me, but yes indeed I can understand that this might be culturally disconcerting. We use this lingo because we may not have these same names in our vocab…. What to do… probably nothing…but it has made me think about describing these same things in english words as closely as possible…. not sure if I can…but it made me think about things on a cultural level….The Sanscrit Hindu Debate seems to have at its core a feeling that Westerners only READ about Yoga and Sanscrit. Since it isn't deeply embedded in the Western culture as an ORALLY transmitted Speech, the attitude is that we are misusing and culturally unaware of what we are saying and doing. The tradition of Oral transmission is very important to the Hindu culture. Apparently it is very appalling to some Hindus that we banter around terms like Kundalini, which I am told we couldn't possibly have any real knowledge about…, as well as the word Tantra, Shaivism, Diksha, Puja, Yoga, Matrika and various other commonly used Sanscrit words. Call me innocent but I absolutely had no idea that Westerners seems crass and unknowing using these words. I always assumed that these words were free to use for all. It made me think of the Ugly Yoga American. It made me cringe. It also made me wonder if perhaps I had more to learn on a cultural level then I had previously thought. Having spent time amongest many Indian people and teachers, it had never occurred to me that there was this underlying feeling from some groups. I think you are right, with Globalization, things will crossover and its not necessarily a bad thing. In my own mind, there is no way I can stop using sanscrit words to describe and talk about my own spiritual evolution. For me, the study of sanscrit being limited to learning several chants and study of Shiva Sutras, Patanjali, and Bhagavad Gita. I am sure it is a type of racialization or prejudice that we as Westerners are surprised to hear directed towards us. Honestly, It does make me wonder if I appear as a bumbling yoga commentator who seems like a cartoon character of crassness and simplicity….The cultural mmmmm….
Melissa, you bring up some very important issues to which many more could be added. Yes, I do agree that we in the West can misrepresent Indian cultre, yogic terms, sanskrit words, etc. That is a legitimate concern, but I also do not think we can generalize. For starters, even Indians do not always agree on their own terms, or have the same understanding of the same terms. Explanations for the word samadhi may differ from teacher to teacher, or depend on the context. So these issues are quite complex.
Soem Western yogis do not like using Sanskrit terms at all, which is also understandable and fine. Personally I like using sanskrit at times because it is a very precise language and has the largest vocabulary when it comes to yogic spirituality. Over time, I think we will also develop an english vocabulary that may to some extent replace the sanskrit terms, which is already happening to a large extent.
But if we want to specifically talk about the details of, let's say tantric cosmology, I find it impossible to just use English, as the english word I am using may not correspond at all to someone else's and that may create a lot of confusion. :
Love this Ramesh! You've triggered a craving for a Yogaville fix!
"Truth is One, Paths are Many." ~ H. H. Sri Swami Satchidananda
Thank you, Lynn. I love that quote!
This is so poetic today… like a hearts song… to the yogic experience. Thank you so much and Namaskar!
Thanks jiivadhara. Yes, i felt particularly poetic when I wrote it, too.
This article relieves us from the burden of wondering whether our yoga is the right yoga or the traditional, historically accurate yoga. How could it be? There are several!
Thanks, Ari, for relieving my burdens, too, by your nice comment…
I loved 99percent of this we are all yogis…which is pretty much what I keep saying…
Thanks, ARCreated… that's about 10% more than me, the author, fabulous….
pretty much as it should be…I think my main concern is why do we have to keep talking about ass scratching? just sayin
just a fun footnote and metaphor for me and Bob, others may scratch their heads!
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Seva Soule Yoga, Red Fox. Red Fox said: Yoga: Multiple Pathways to the Path of One! http://bit.ly/iiF8j8 […]
A smart exercise of diplomacy and Satya Ramesh! Compliments! ;-D
Thanks, Dharma. Would not call it an exercise in diplomacy, though. While we all call various forms of yoga by the same name, there are qualitatively different experiences and results gained from the various forms of yoga…not all paths are the same, even though we call it yoga… that was part of the points I made.

[…] VF: You talked a little bit about your path to becoming a monk. How did you fall into, if that's the right term, Kashmir Shaivism? […]
[…] No right, no wrong…I would say, different strokes and all. […]
Hi Bob. Maybe I should have asked "Whaddya feel?" A feeling isn't a straw man. Abstractions just make me queasy and disembodied, so I tell them to go away.
I think it's about purpose. What is the idea of absolute truth used for? Does it promote coherence or foster division? It is a famous guru trick to use it to cohere followers, and then divide those followers from others.
I experience effusive wonderment, but a life of writing gives me little stomach to define truth. And I have no idea what the universe looks like without human perception.
If I may jump in here, Matthew and Bob, to say that there is in yoga the idea that 'absolute truth" is the inner experience of oneness, or union in Samadhi…and it is not just an abstraction to me as this is what I experience in deep meditation… an increasing level of depth and peace, silence, union, oneness. There is also the concept that all mystics, whether Buddhist Christian or Yogi, end up in the same inner space…no matter the practice. On the way there, many things happen, because the mental makeup and the practices differ… but the idea that body/mind/spirit are transcending and inclusive levels of reality makes practical sense to me, that's my experience, not just an abstraction. problem is, of course, as Matthew points out, if you say, my inner truth is the only truth and you can only access it my way! That's religion and dogma… but if you say, as the best yogis do, this is what I experience, try it for your self and you might, too.
In other words, the intellectual idea of universalism and freedom of thought is one important "truth' to uphold and stand for, but there's also that inner yogic or mystical truth, which is also universal (available for all) but can only be accessed in the silence of our own transcendental experience.
I guess the phrase is ambivalent then. My problem is that it pretends not to be.
He does it well!
yoga does make universal claim about inner experiences, it does say that this practice will give you inner peace, etc., and I agree that this can be a problem is you are dealing with a teacher who manipulates that idea, but the problem then is with the teacher (and the student who falls for that manipulation) not yoga.
This is tricky stuff, but these claims are written all over yoga–from patanjali to tantra–practice this, and you will all experience such and such. Cittavrittinirodha –"the absence of the fluctuation of thought" is a big claim, but it also makes total sense that your monkey mind jumps less and less like a monkey the deeper your meditation. That's our experience… in tantra it is called union, also a big claim, but basically the same yogic thing.
i hear you, Matthew, and i agree in many ways, but I do also find deep value in yoga philosophy, especially the tantric concepts. As Joseph Campbell said, we need myths to live by, and I would venture that we also need philosophy to live by. Especially when the philosophy makes sense, such as the concepts of Shiva and Shakti, Consciousness and Energy is all part of Brahman and both are One in Brahman. Those are powerful concepts that makes sense even in terms of modern physics, and it does make sense in my own daily life as well to feel that all is sacred, all is consciousness, all is Shiva/Shakti all the way… it makes sense from an experiential point of view as well.
Problem is of course, if these are just intellectual ideas, but even so, they are much more benign than the idea of going to hell if you don't believe a certain way. Point is, we are more than just our feelings and we humans we throw around concepts all day long, especially writers.
But when all is said and done, it all comes down to our inner experiences, and most of the spiritual ones I have had, I rarely talk about, because there is really no language that could adequately describe them, nor often the right circumstance to talk about them. In other words, the word Samadhi does little in explaining what it actually is. but it does point us in a direction that is infinitely more benign than some exclusive heaven for the chosen few.
Yes. I enjoy inclusive pointers that resist obscurity and subsequent power imbalances between communicator and communicant.

|ASU Student Can't Return Home After Roommate Tests Positive for Swine Flu
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Thursday, 16 July 2009 13:00
With yesterday's news that seven cases of the H1N1 virus had been confirmed at Appalachian State's Camp Broadstone really hit home for one ASU student.
Appalachian State junior hospitality/tourism management major, Shane Anderson, said his roommate called him to let him know that he contracted swine flu while working at the camp.
Anderson said he saw his roommate last week before he left to work as a counselor at Camp Broadstone, and said he was acting fine.
Anderson said since learning that his roommate had been infected; he has decided to stay away from his apartment and stay with a friend. He explained, "When I first heard about it, I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but from what I hear, it's quite deadly and quite contagious, so I'm going to take precautions."
Only two deaths in North Carolina have been attributed to the swine flu so far.
While only seven cases have been confirmed here in the High Country, a few tips to keep from spreading the flu are to stay home if you're sick, avoid close contact with people who are sick, was your hands often, avoid touching your face, and cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.

How to increase your profit
For most small businesses, the easiest way to increase profitability is to reduce costs. Reducing direct costs can dramatically increase the profit on each sale, and eliminating unnecessary business overheads can have an immediate pleasing impact on your bottom line.
The best way to improve profitability is to increase turnover as there is no limit to sales but there is a limit on reducing your costs.
Reducing your costs
Identify the steps you can take to minimise your direct costs, such as negotiating lower prices with your suppliers, reviewing processes and systems to minimise wastage, and implementing additional security to reduce the chance of theft.
For example, the owner of one manufacturing business used the same supplier for 30 years, and never investigated buying raw materials from anyone else. When the business was sold, the new owner put all the main purchase requirements out to tender. The result shaved 14% off the company's inventory costs or close to $100,000.
Most businesses tend to stick to the same supplier year after year, so this is an area well worth exploring. Costs that could be put out to tender in your business include insurance, power, telephones and internet.
The value of good systems
Introducing systematic procedures and methods will help reduce costs. Good systems will help you minimise errors, and reduce time and money.
The time invested in creating systems is usually minimal compared with that spent solving a problem from scratch. Where appropriate, turn decisions into policies to avoid having to make the same decision again or sort out the same issues.
Learn from mistakes and problem areas, and if systems go wrong, fix them. It's a good idea to review your systems periodically to see where improvements can be made. A software company placed all of their information centrally on their server, so that staff could access information all the time, from anywhere. The owner found each employee saved five hours a week, which could be applied more productively.
Keep focused
Focusing management awareness on profitability can have a dramatic impact. Even if cash flow is your top priority, this should not be at the expense of profitability.
Make sure all your employees are aware of the importance of profitability. The most commonly used key performance indicators are actual sales against forecasts, costs against budgets, gross margin and staff costs. Get help from your accountant to ensure you're monitoring the right indicators for your business.
Your team
Monitor and measure employee performance and productivity, and reward productive employees by linking pay to effectiveness. It's important to praise and thank staff when it's due, and provide a clear career path so they can grow and don't see their prospects as limited.
Continuous improvement
A simple planning cycle greatly enhances your ability to make continuous improvements. Good planning also helps you to anticipate problems and adapt as circumstances change.
Set measurable, time-limited targets to monitor how effectively your plans are implemented. Then review what you've achieved so you can learn from your experience and make continuous improvements. Keep improving the underlying systems and the planning process itself, but be ready to alter your strategy if necessary.
Apply lessons business-wide
Set up systems that encourage the communication of best practice in your business. For instance, benchmarking different parts of the business against each other can be a useful way of sharing best practice.
Also improve communications with your customers and suppliers – they can offer useful tips and advice. Your customers will be aware of any problems and can tell you what you need to improve.
Increasing your turnover
Below are some possible tactics to improve your turnover:
- Invest resources in increasing your sales volume.
- Look for new markets and distribution channels. For instance, are you really making the best use of the internet? Can you form a strategic alliance with a complementary business or a joint venture to tackle work you don't have the resources for on your own?
- Actively sell. Don't just take orders. Businesses that are content to simply take orders are less likely to survive, let alone grow.
- Retain existing customers through good service and explain to your staff why the lifetime value of customers makes this effort worthwhile.
- Review your credit limits if sales to a particular customer go up significantly and consider a credit check. If they are stable and worthwhile customer, increase their limit or find out what else you can do for them.
- Maximise the value of your sales. Consider moving upmarket and providing a premium product and service. Add features to products if the perceived value to the user is greater than the cost to you.
- Keep your product or service up-to-date. If appropriate, extend your product range or work to ensure it stays ahead of the competition.
- Compare your price and quality with competing products or services. Aim to charge a full price and offer value for money from the extras you provide, such as after-sales service, installation and training or bundled extras.
- Focus your efforts on your most profitable customers. Look after the customers who place large or frequent orders, pay the full price on time and are low maintenance.
Review your profit margins
Businesses that offer a menu of products can use a simple technique to improve overall profitability. This involves reviewing sales and profit margins periodically, and dividing products into four categories:
- High percentage of sales and high profit margins – nurture these stars.
- High percentage of sales but low profit margins – consider a price increase and examine how you can cut costs to increase your profit margins.
- Low percentage of sales but high profit margins – consider a sales push.
- Low percentage of sales and low profit margins – eliminate these where possible.
Take into account any possible effects before making decisions. For example, a low-profit product might be the one that brings other business from a major, highly profitable customer.
Next steps
- Use the free NAB cash flow improvement tool to gain a better understanding of your business and where to look for improvements.
- Get help from your accountant to identify the key performance indicators you need to measure. Concentrate on the top three or four indicators first.

Abraham Hurtado has collaborated with numerous artists and companies at national and international level. In his own work he explores the notions of presence and space, the multiplicity of contexts and possible arrangements of the public and how they affect the perception/reception of projects. In recent years he has been involved in various projects in which he has constantly asked himself questions like: What should be the nature of representation? How can the body overcome the boundaries of thought? To what extent can we represent mental states though bodily performance? How do the presence of the body, memory states and loss of memory take place? Dead bodies: the space between death and life. Thinking about stillness as motion, hallucination, internal movements, virtual and real worlds, fiction. The internal structure of performance, how to produce a character from the materialisation of an idea, a feeling that functions as a guide. There is a hidden structure that pulls everything together, a fluctuation of body language, speech, movement, interpretation and psychological tension. All in search of a new language
