For every true yogi there are a thousand rogues pretending to be so. And these are the ones who are famous and milking the commercial world in the name of yoga. And this is not a new thing. It has been happening since the first decades of the twentieth century with spectacular claims and dubious dimensions appended to yogic feats, much like the miraculous claims of the Middle Ages attaching themselves to European absorption of Semitic religious ideas. It has only gained in momentum now with added capitalist corrosion of societal values and increased opportunities to fool people.
