The Four Enemies of Spiritual Life according to the Bhakti Yoga tradition.

Leaving tabacco and coffee behind is the next step for me, I am not initiated into the bhakti yoga tradition (yet) but I associate with pure devotees like Jahnavi Harrison, whom I also sponsor through Patreon, just like Madeleine Peyroux. Step by step our lifestyle becomes purer.  That's the power of bhakti yoga.

I also gave up garlic and onion because they are in the modes of ignorance and passion.

According to Ayurveda, India’s classic medical science, foods are grouped into three categories – sattvic, rajasic and tamasic – foods in the modes of goodness, passion and ignorance. Onions and garlic, and the other alliaceous plants are classified as rajasic and tamasic, which means that they increase passion and ignorance.

Eastern teachers: The various Eastern gurus who come to the West, such as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Swami Prabhupada (of the Hare Krishnas) are all disciples of a certain Master. They are sent to the West to introduce one or other form of meditation or spritual practice.
          There are also Avatars that appear in India, such as Ramakrishna, Vivekananda and Sai Baba. They are not actually members of this planet's Spiritual Hierarchy but 'come in' from outside the planet. The group of Masters involved with the Western world (such as DK, Morya, and Koot Humi) are members of the Trans Himalayan Lodge. Unlike the members of the separate, South Indian Lodge, these Masters do not work openly as yet, but are in the process of emergence into the everyday world following the Day of Declaration.
