Title: Spiritual Plagiarism
Review: *a reader from California. I was excited at first to read Sally Kempton's (swami durgananda) book. However, although the quality of the writing is excellent I was deeply distressed by her lack of professional integrity.Kempton omits a complete bibliography and does not bother to quote her sources. As a student of yoga and meditation for over 30 years, I have found many of her meditations in other popular books. Yet, she does not quote or acknowledge other people's work.This lack of honesty and arrogance is out of integrity for a professional writer who claims to teach meditation and spirtual values. Kempton should learn that basic yoga practice called "yamas"and "niyamas" insist upon no lying, cheating or stealing to onself or another.Kempton, in a desire to make a name for herself, has abandoned the basic values of any traditional yoga practice.
