I very much appreciate the use of the term “Portals”!In accordance to Time, Place and Circumstance.

I feel that it is an “upgrade” of the typical expected terminology. By the next generation or so, individuals who will come upon InSelf Yoga site will certainly relate better to more contemporary lingo, to the exception of the Sanskrit (or scripture) expert. These are the terms we use in school and in ordinary contemporary life, not the traditional more accurate and contextualized terminologies.

I feel that eventually accuracy and sense of tradition will need to become secondary to the impetus of relating to the current audience versus that of bygone Vedic times, when folks organically connected with such antiquated terminologies, in their own times, and when yoga apparently only existed in the Indian context. After all, personal individualized experiences, we hold paramount can only be best described and communicated in relatable terminology.
