Re: What's the big deal about the Yogas of Naropa?
Tummo: We primarily use the three channels as a visualization guide for the prāṇa vāyu in our bodies that we breath in.

Indrajala is free to defend "death camps", "Nazi concentration camps" and "social Darwinism". Like the BBC says, the "daily diet is in caloric terms less than what was provided to inmates of Buchenwald and other Nazi concentration camps." http://www.youtube.co...
