Morning Ranch. At age 31, Black began his intense study of Yoga from his master, Para- mahansa Yogananda and was then bestowed his title. He defined Yoga is, ‘a yoking together of the indivi- dual consciousness or a merging with the universal consciousness.” During a recent six-hour visit to the ranch, which is vishal, in the midst of 8 lifestyle of a Yogi, Carol Black's Personnel Director, gave me a tour of the grounds and ten build- ings. She informed me that the staff, who take a vow of celibacy, receive no salary, only an allowance and room and board. These dedicated: workers have an 8:30-5:00 day, during which they pursue vocational training. Siroskey commented on their choice of vocations saying, “The men and women are absolute equals. The work they choose de- pends on their abilities or talents, not on their sex.’’ The training is de- signed to aid the personal growth of those residing on the ranch.

While sharing fellowship during a meal, Yogacharya stressed the impur- tance of balance in a person’s life between the mental, physical and spiritual planes. Various types. of courses are taught at the retreat to help one achieve this balance: For a pi Z Sah such as Christ; or Karma yoga for those inclined toward work and action; Jnana, yoga of the intel- lect; or Hatha yoga for bodily per- fection through postures. ~ The 20th century has seen many cults; sometimes leaving behind cata- strophic trails as in the Jonestown, Guyanna tragedy.
