As some of you may know, I tend much more toward jnana yoga than bhakti yoga, but I find the occasional compulsion to visit the Welcome to The Shiva Vishnu Hindu Temple of Greater Cleveland near where I live.
I have found many excuses to not go, from the one above to offending those who attend temple services and walking in at the wrong time.
I woke up again this morning with the desire to go, visited the website, looked at the schedule, and again made an excuse to vacate my plan (who wants an old white guy disrupting a puja?)
I've driven past the temple on at least 4 occasions, pulled into the parking lot once, but left without visiting it each time.
Perhaps someone might help me to understand my compulsion to visit despite my need to.
