YOGA IN INDIAN CULTURE: SMITHSONIAN October 19, 2013 - January 26, 2014

Smithsonian Institute presents
The exhibit runs from October 19, 2013 - January 26, 2014 at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (before traveling.) 
1050 Independence Ave., SW Washington, DC


Debra Diamond, curator of the exhibit: "Yoga constantly transforms and simultaneously gets imbedded in culture. The exhibit explores yoga’s goals and means of transforming body and consciousness, its profound philosophical foundations, its role within multiple religious and secular arenas, and the roles that yogis played in society, from divinized teachers to militant ascetics. That being said, the path of modern yoga is still being laid."
Included in the exhibit is the Thomas Edison film, Hindoo Fakir (1906)

Character in USA Yoga

"...what happens when the people who fall into yoga aren’t self-conscious, or vulnerable, or able to acknowledge possible mistakes or philosophical misalignments? What happens when people don’t get transformed by the process, but instead get physically stronger and increasingly self-obsessed and self-righteous?" 

A thoughtful article expounds on this USA character:

Laparoscopic removal of gall bladder video- or less invasive methods?

Laparoscopic removal of gall bladder - YouTube
Take care, research and take care.
If you have the slightest low-grade, continuing, or chronically serious digestive problems, find out for yourself how to improve your digestion, without long-term medicines.
If you have gallbladder problems look for ways to clear this internal condition to prevent surgery.
There are plenty of persons, counselors, and even free information to understand, and apply before this unhealthful condition or pain worsens.
You may even find a physician, or an osteopath if you prefer, who will help guide you in natural ways.
Yes, people are known to live on, sometimes just fine for decades after surgery, without gallbladders.
Yet, often, I have seen that soon after gallbladder removal, certain smaller, then larger, "heart problems" will begin.
I remind you of this not as a medical doctor. I speak only from personal life. And from seeing people who have suffered and died. And from knowing other people who attended to inner health, kept a gallbladder, and improved their digestion and overall health without surgery.
There are now, pockets and networks of people with knowledge the world over that are quietly attending to REAL healthcare.
What a blessing.
