		<description>Hello Mr.Geoffrey,

I am a medical professional from India. I came across your blog after reading stripping the gurus. I am a SRF devotee but never involved myself seriously into the social part (like group meditation, satsang etc) of it because i was well aware that i might not like the environment in such places. In India there are lot of fake gurus or &quot;not so divine&quot; chelas...so many prefer to practise solitarily. My interest in yoga particularly increased after i read about its physiological aspects, some of which is already mentioned in the blog. 

I see that you are writing the book on atheistic lines which is understandable considering the bad experience you had and your subsequent research. But i am of the opinion the there is a very thin line that separates genius and a maniac, atheist and a theist. If you are willing to consider theistic arguments i would be happy to share a few things. I am doing this because you have knowledge of the scientific aspect and at the same time familiar with the yogic aspect (from SRF).

Please do not consider this as an attempt to convert you to theism or uphold a religion or debunk science. What i want to discuss is from a scientific perspective.

Regards,
Venkat.</description>

		<description>Hey Geoff,

i found another book you might find interesting.  It came out 2010 and it is called Waking from Sleep by steve taylor.  I am halfway through but there is lots of useful info in there from the brain and physiological neurological perspective.  

Continue to kick ass, as much energy as you have ;)</description>
