Is Health Care a Right and Should It Be?
Why should health care be a right? After all, it is not written in our Constitution that it is an inalienable right; it is not contained in the Bill of Rights either.

Yoga teaches us that change is growth. Change is inevitable and helps love to grow even more. We should never resist to what life wants us to persist. Once we become comfortable we know it is time for the next step. Love you both. Hope to see you both at the NY Yoga and Raw Food Expo on May 29-21.
Om Sholom,
Yogi Mark
You move me, as always. I loved this one; holding on, gripping tightly around a person, circumstance, issue, causes me more pain that the issue itself. When I am able to let go and see life as an ever-flowing river, upon whose currents I must simply drift, life becomes not only more peaceful, but also more joyful. Lisa
Thank you Ed & Deb! Every time I hear the Buddha story, which my Guru Swami Satchidananda used to often tell, it is of such great comfort and inspiration. Especially in these harrowing times, I need the reminder that the nature of life is change and that I take comfort in knowing we are all in this together! It's not "personal" it's what everyone deals with in a human birth. How fortunate we are to have the wisdom of our Gurus and the reminders from you to help keep us tapped into the peace and joy of our true nature that is unchanging!

Thank you, dianaspencer! where would we be without the great wisdom of the Masters.
Swami Satchidananda saved my life more than once.
I was in the fast lane party set, then turned hippie flower child, then met the great Woodstock Guru, Swami Satchidananda. He turned my life around. I can't imagine how my life would have been without being with him personally and the teachings he offered. He blew my mind!
I thank my friend, the artist Peter Max, for originally bringing Swami Satchidananda to NYC. Joyfully, Ed
After just returning from a 10 day silent retreat, the truth of impermanence and that every thing (including myself) is a direct experience for me. And this is the good news! It shows the futility of attachment and the joy of fully living in the ever present flow of change.
Thank you Ed and Deb for remembrance
Deb and Ed--again your teach universal principles that are so important and helpful for us. It is so vital that we be fluid and indeed into the process of letting go. It's so important that we try to avoid being stuck in whatever reality we have created. From my perspective, the concept of evolution--physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, is all based upon our ability to change. Blessings of Love & Light through Sound to you both for your continued and important contributions.!
