Jack Stafford was inspired to write this song: Ayurveda Lifestyle Blues from this conversation.  Enjoy 🙂 Here are the lyrics:

 I’ve been trying to live an Ayurvedic life With the wisdom of the ancient minds But I wonder if they’d have been so wise If they had to live in these times Can’t sit cross-legged in the restaurant Can’t lie down on the aeroplane Can’t do what your urges want And it all adds up to pain I’ve been having an oil massage every day Oil in my hair and enemas Footprints on the stairs My girlfriend’s in despair And the only food I cook is Kitchari Now she’s thinking about leaving me Too many turmeric stains She thinks that I’m insane I’ve got the Ayurveda blues The Ayurveda blues Chlorine in the water Plastic everywhere EMF from everything No one seems to care Particles in the air Pesticides in food Modified and fertilised To a malevolent magnitude And I’m on my guard But health these days is so hard And you I’d know to like to sleep from 8-4 But then my friends all feel ignored I gotta keep the balance right But I belong in bed at night To meditate in the Brahama Muhurta Is it to take a step closer to God And every day that I fail to pray I take another step further away The secret is the seasons But nobody wants the reasons As the last sane man alive It’s a very lonely drive I know I gotta be a guiding light Living the life I know is right I can’t change the world just me So I’ll be the change I want to see I’ve got the Ayurveda blues The Ayurveda blues Chlorine in the water Plastic everywhere EMF from everything No one seems to care Particles in the air Pesticides in food Modified and fertilised To a malevolent magnitude And I’m on my guard But health these days is so hard The sages foresaw All these problems before And predicted the rise of the cities While they studied us We know so little of them Only how poorly we compare to these men But their Sutras survive And they make perfect sense All we need Is obedience Handed down From enlightened minds And been proved right A million times I don’t need no AI Ain’t gonna rely On no computers I’ve faith in Sutras I don’t need no AI Charaka’s my guy You keep computers I’ve faith in Sutras
