So, why is this blog called "Undercover Yogi" and what will I write about?

Well..certainly not because I am one! But because I aspire to be one. This is not an original term I made up- it is borrowed from one of my yoga/ meditation teachers. I aspire to be a Yogi, by which I mean that I will always operate from a position of compassion, understanding and clarity. My responses to any situation will be driven by what the situation requires- not by petty concerns and agendas. Why "undercover"? Because I will live in the world, and engage with it, doing whatever it is I do externally...for my living etc.

A tall order indeed isn't it? It seems daunting given my several ineffective habits, given the load of karma I carry with me. At the same time, it doesn't seem too far away either, given all the support I have from many masters who have taken the pains to show me the path, and inspire me.....yet I sometimes feel..will I make the necessary commitment, will I be disciplined enough...

I plan to write about several things...and I hope I will soon (the first "intro post" was 14 months back...so you would be right to doubt my commitment to this blog)....

about

...spirituality
..the struggle to break old habits
...how we might be able to help ourselves and others in this struggle
...education and learning
...poetry and literature
...music....
