thank you for bringing voice to this issue. these lines have always felt blurry as a young south asian woman growing up in the west, so much so that i go without expressing how uncomfortable i feel in such white spaces, but i feel frustrated with the amount of Krishna Das’s i see around me, and saddened about the lack of south asian teachers and spaces to practise and learn about our culture.
Thank you for speaking up not only for preserving the authenticity of Sanatana Dharm, but for women who have immense wisdom and voices that have been and continue to be shadowed by and silenced by the patriarchy. Decolonizing yoga is important to heal the centuries of colonization of Bharat. om shanti
