The Unpersuadables: Adventures With The Enemies Of Science - Plot & Excerpts
So far, my experience of the most highly anticipated yogic event of the year has been indicative of anything but. I had expected that my particular ticket would buy me a superior position in the hall. It did, after all, cost £251. But in front of me, many hundreds of people have secured better spots than mine, closer to the stage on which their guru will be appearing. These, I will learn, are the ‘VIPs’, the ‘VVIPs’, the ‘Corporate Members’, the ‘Founder Members’, the ‘Patron Members’, the ‘Life Members’, the ‘Dignified Members’, the ‘Respected Members’ and, at the bottom, the lowly ‘General Members’ of the Patanjali Yog Peeth Trust and all of them are busy folding out foam mattresses and fastidiously marking their territory with bags, shoes and rolled-up socks. I, meanwhile, have been directed to a space halfway down London’s vast Alexandra Palace by an assistant in a yellow sash. Trying to settle on the thin tartan rug that defines my tiny piece of land, I look at my watch.
