Yogin

[JenyaBalla]

very cute and cool :)

[maludire]

Great! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LuizGuilhermeLins]

Great animation work, but no yogin attitude, not from the old nor from the young man. Disputation, in this case, seems to be an egoic response to an egoic challenge. The true master should be merciful with other's ignorance. This would be a Shiva's true blessing!

[NakedSuits]

definitely not in the spirit of true yoga but it doesn't matter. it's fun and funny :)

[peregrinar]

Devotion and renunciation versus Adidasananda Nikeasana!

[lateralspin]

This is funny. But the yoga is all for fun, not for "other reasons" or even the meaningless Shiva idol sitting on the stage

[peregrinar]

@lateralspin hahahaha! Shiva idol is far better than sex and money idol!!!

[ccrich100]

@lateralspin Perhaps your idea of yoga is for fun. Don't presume to speak for all practitioners of yoga.

[richopooro]

cute. the guy yoga'd himself into a pile of ash. xD

[yoyoganet]

Excelente, forma de no competir, el amor es interior hacia el exterior... Esa energia es la q vale.

[ganwanihan]

i have a jack

[REDHAUNT01]

Hahaha that's funny

[MZ0130]

That is why Yoga cannot be added to Olympic games. :)))))))

[utdougie]

Yes mastering advanced yoga poses does not mean one has mastered yoga. Any beginner who can master the Process of Yoga, is mastering yoga. Training for advanced poses is no different than training for a marathon or other high level athletic event. So in that case Why not have Yoga in the Olympics? After all asana was designed to strengthen the physical body, so why not share the world this ancient secret of physical strength?

[TamasMZPERX]

I don't know was it intentional or accident but it is written that when you do certain kundalini exercises in a wrong way you can end up in spontaneous combustion.

[kokoro88888]

Thank you for sharing this video. It represents the truth spirituality being used in the service of ego.

[rabbitious08]

EXCELLENT.... YOU ALL NEED TO WORK ON YOUR HUMOR.... :) laugh a little for a change!

[cspace1234nz]

Excellent !

"yoga master" fails when he rises to the challenge, young yoga guy succeeds when he gets nuked.

[ten24seven]

i think it his own young brash ego that challenges him and ultimately dissipates in this animation

[DemonFang17]

@ten24seven

I agree, but come on why'd he go on n blow himself up

[jhanra21]

Checking back in here, over 50K have now watched Yogin. Thank all of you for watching!

[philipbrooks1969]

Why be negative about this video?

Don't you have a sense of humour?

[YogaNetwork]

Ignoring the pretentions about Yoga symbolism and metaphor in these comments - on the face of it the Guru has led the student to self-annihilation - so not really a Yogic moral victory here then - and quite unrealistic - it was otherwise quite entertaining. For a more entertaining animation, with a more compassionate outcome and more holistic message about the danger of "WRONG EFFORT" on a spiritual quest I recommend KUNG FU PANDA.

[georgeandrew610]

...well...the music is cool.

[anmariya11]

Awesome video!

[martenmeg]

I don't get it. Why did the guru even consider competing? A true yogi does not give a shit about being the best.

[vardene]

The ending (!) was cruel and smug. How UNenlightening that was! Fat Yogi would in real-life, like a Zen Master have arranged (!) a better "satori" than anihililation fer crissakes.

Massive Fail.

[xsilverovo]

read comment from

jhanra21 a few comments bellow and I hope it will be little bit clear for you.

[julianodangelo]

Id does not seem to be the yoga spirit. We dont compete

[jhanra21]

Try watching the film again and notice the character's attitudes and states of mind.

"Yogin" is a commentary on how yoga in the West is often mistaken solely for the physical. And the danger of getting ahead of ourselves - thinking that because we have a strong practice or are more spiritually oriented, that it means we are a better person.

...have you never found yourself trying to do a pose better then that perfectly fit body two mats in front of you?

[julianodangelo]

Dear Jhanra21, I understand your point of view, bu I honestly disagree... First because no, I never tried to do a pose better than no one but... Myself. And because watching again, that superior look is there, in the eyes of tht old man. He could answer the chellenge with a smile, with a lightning look. But he looks superior...

But that's ok, each one of us has a diferent look. I don't think mine is the right one ;)

[jhanra21]

Let's dig a little deeper. Guruji meditates in a shrine to lord Shiva. Shiva is represents the divine in the form of the destroyer/transformer. In his form of Nataraja, he dances on the ego of man. Guruji acts the will of Lord Shiva. He is human in that he does show some emotion, however his duty is to help Shiva burn away the Ego of those who need it. And that is literally what happens. Guruji appears to accept the challenge, but really he is playing his part in the cosmic dance.

[julianodangelo]

aaaw, I see ;)

[RoChede]

Perfect.

[LuizGuilhermeLins]

@jhanra21 I agree with julianodangelo and, lets dig a little deeper, destroying the false ego - ego is a greek word that means "I" - is destroying the ego's ignorance, not the yogin : )

[Cellobeginner]

smartly done. Thanks

[maldrett]

Namasté

[alexandraward]

Ah yes...true yoga.

[ginafatourou]

o.k...that's what my yoga teacher means. She always says: After all the years of doing yoga poses, maybe now you can begin to do some yoga.

[cheriebibo]

Loved it on so many levels! 5 beautiful stars

[mh074]

Awesome!!!
