Noble Sangha,
it’s pretty obvious you and i are sharing an incarnation, a Blessed incarnation, during a spiritually pivotal point during Kali Yuga…
ilg reckons a lot of you see through Dharma Eyes not unlike my own for Om So Ti’s (spiritual signs of positive spiritual advancement)…so, my question to you, Noble Precious Path follower, is a referred question to me from 2011 HP Yogini of the Year, DawaGahti (who i STILL have to interview!). she sent me this link:
http://blogs.yogajournal.com/yogabuzz/2012/06/yoga-teacher-barbie.html
with her question to me, “Interesting?”
like the rest of Dawa’s engaging nature, i had to pause. and then, paused a bit longer. then…before defaulting to my oft-used Buddha-suggested way out of, “invoking the Noble Silence,” on such issues that aren’t worth wasting time on…ilg figured i’d ask you:
so; let me hear your comments:
Is having a Yogi Barbie helpful, perhaps inspiring to a young legion
or
Is having a Yogi Barbie yet another AmeriKan bastardization of all that is Ancient, Sacred, and Honored by deeply sincere Practictioners the world over?

ps; should i get Dewa a Yogi Barbie? i mean, i grew up GI Joes?! isn’t this a Step toward the Higher?!
Well, being the parent of girls as well, with concerns about body image & the media, and for this part only “should i get Dewa a Yogi Barbie”, and without much elaboration, I’d vote no. It is interesting though this line of Barbie’s is a “career line”, and there are a slew of career Barbies now. There is not a “toy designer” Barbie though!
Precious and Stalwart Warrior SS!
THANK YOU for the being the first to step up and respond!
ilg has Heard Thee and from thy Noble Voice..strong and sound as wind whispers through Lodgepine Pine…papa bear ilg shall take heed to your counsel!
