Fun interview. I agree with David that you sounded young, Yogani. And I must agree with Victor that you sounded normal.
I used Richard's suggestion for the opd2d program and I recorded the whole thing, but the file isn't working for some reason. Hopefully someone else recorded it as well. |

Very good interview yogani. I too didn't know what to ask but managed some stupid question just to speak with you. 
Is Virtuesproject linked to AYP someway?

It was great to hear you on the air Yogani!
I look forward to the next show. Unfortunately I was only able to record the last third or so, but I'm very glad that Brett could get it all. |

That was kickin'! Great job Yogani!
It turns out our fearless leader is younger and sexier than I had supposed. I can understand why Mrs. Yogani doesn't let him out on the guru circuit!
I was wondering if the radio station was going to blow up or something crazy like in the book... fortunately the electronics were able to handle the voltage!
Thanks Yogani for doing the interview... Your being a normal guy really helps make these once hidden, esoteric practices feel like a very normal and natural aspect of modern life.

Yogani, it's wonderful hearing your voice. I'm still listening to it right now, and I'm enjoying the interview very much. You have a warmth in your voice that is endearing.
Brett (trip1) posted a link in the AYP Helpers forum to a recording of the show. Here's the link:

Congratulations, Yogani! I hope you do more interviews in the near future
Thanks, Brett, for recording the show and hosting it in a timely manner. If it weren't for you, I'd have only heard the last 6 minutes or so |

I just spoke with the radio interviewer (4:30 pm here) and he informed me that the radio show will be at 7 pm, not 8 pm tonight. It will still be a one hour show. He was very apologetic.
So we will proceed accordingly.
Those who are recording, please adjust your times to be an hour sooner, so we can be sure to have something for the many who will likely tune in an hour late.
The guru is in you.
Hello & Namaste All!
This is *really* cool (news about the radio interview) -- I've had a very busy week, and missed this whole thread. Does someone have the digital file? And/or is it available for download / listening from the radio station site? (Yes, I can check .... but thought I'd ask ...)
ALSO:
This brings to light a very interesting dynamic / topic I've been meaning to bring up to the Forum (specifically Yogani) --
Web 2.0 technologies could *really* help to promote AYP and its message (and yes, I'm planning to put my virtual money where my virtual mouth is, and do some of this myself --- exact timing and form unknown at this stage).
Main Item #1 ------ PODCASTING.
Guys (gender-neutral slang for "y'all"  where I come from ... and meaning: all AYPers -- again "mostly Yogani" -- but this applies to all of us who might care to "dive in", the same way we dive into posting, here in the Forum).
Podcasting is SO easy!
I bought a $39 digital recorder - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...20/ref=nosim
-- which does everything needed to create an audio podcast (audio segment that can be posted to the Web).
It has about 45 mins. high-quality recording time, or 2 hours medium quality, and comes with software, a microphone, and a usb cable.
Once your audio segment is on your computer, uploading is a snap - there are many options (if anyone wants or needs specific pointers, please ask -- but most of what I know, I learned via <1 hour worth of creative Googling .... ).
Point of all this being: the radio thingy is great news, and truly very exciting .... but just as advanced yoga practices are no longer held back from the people of the world by secretive and/or culturally myopic organizations, publishing of anything -- any content -- from blogs, to forum posts --- to audio and video segments (both of which fall under the general header of "podcast") --- has also been "democratized", and is no longer under anyone's central control.
Any one of us can be in the broadcast (audio) business for less than usd $50, and in the video broadcast business for less than usd $100 .
And if you want to "spruce up" (have a little intro segment, etc.) and otherwise edit your audio clip, Audacity software is open source, free, and easy to use (as all good open source technology should be, of course!  ) - just Google "Audacity".
So, just as a little "FYI" (For Your Information) to All -- audio broadcasting is very low-cost, you can reach a global audience, and you can promote anything you care to (AYP, or anything else).
Personally, I just clip the microphone (which comes with the recorder I bought, as I mentioned) to my shirt, jacket or the thin metal on the side of the (otherwise unused) ashtray in my car .... and just start blabbing.
(Really .... honest ... no kidding ......... ).
On the off chance that I ever want to play / chant along with / otherwise comment on ... I dunno ..... kirtan or something .... it's "tres easy" with the above-mentioned set-up ) --- total set-up time is <10 seconds (take Olympus thingy out of pocket, clip microphone to desired object, hit "record" - blab away).
The default file type is MP3 (standard web audio format) - so if I don't want to get fancy in any way, as soon as I hit "stop" on the recorder -- that audio segment is ready for broadcast to the world - the only other task is to plug the recorder in my computer at home, and transfer the file from the recorder to the computer -- then, it's ready for upload to any site / service that will have me ....
(And nothing is in "final form" yet -- I'm still kind of honing my chops; but it's fun --- and a seemingly decent use for all those vrittis kicking around between these ears ....).
So, just a little "heads up" as we say here in Silicon Valley - for anyone who is reading this, who might want to take their "broadcast destiny" into their own hands ....!
Peace & Namaste,
Kirtanman

Dear Yogani
Congratulations ! for your wonderful speech
I really enjoyed and got inspired with your words
here they are:
"The whole is much better than the part"
"Total spiritual transformation (QUICKLY and SAFELY)"
some of your pronounciations i liked:
samyama, pranayama, kundalini its totally different from what we pronounce, but i enjoyed the way you pronounced it
number of hits per day: on an average 25,000 (this site is really moving peoples)
I have a question for you:
as everyone said you are very normal and thats true. and you said you have a family with 3 kids. how do you find balance between your life and AYP. i don't know if iam wrong, excess AY practice won't dettach you from physical world?
Thanx
Kumar |

Thanks much for your support and feedback. That was fun last night!
For those who missed the interview, a test version is up already here:

Thanks Trip!
If all goes well, it should be accessible on the AYP homepage soon.
The guru is in you.

I captured those 5 parts as MP3-files, the file sizes are:
Part1 = 13.8 MByte
Part2 = 11.4 MByte
Part3 = 9.9 MByte
Part4 = 7.9 MByte
Part5 = 8.1 MByte
Are these acceptable sizes ? |

Really impressed Yogani, thanks very much.
I found your voice very easy to listen to and your delivery and clarity similar to your writings.
If you get time in your busy schedule would you consider making CD's of maybe lessons or Q and A sessions ?. I think, with that nice voice of yours they would go down a treat.

Hi All
Just finished listening to the interview
Yogani...... this is great! Great timing....this will speed up the exposure of AYP tremendously. I loved the interactions, and your voice is.....well, what can I say - I am all smiles
Sort of like an effortless, crisp, soothing balm - getting your/our points across immediately and with clarity. As always.
Thank you! |
