Check out the Fall 2009 issue of Parabola magazine for an inspiring interview with Guruji called His Path to Realization. Annie Schliffer interviewed Guruji in February, 2009 after studying at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Institute in Pune, India. Annie starts her article with a summary of B.K.S Iyengar’s life and how she first met him, ”As I entered the Institute, the very first person whom I saw was Mr. Iyengar. Without hesitation and full of gratitude, I bowed at his feet. Here was the man whose system of yoga had changed my life.”
Guruji answers questions, including:
“How do you see the path of Yoga - your path?
Can anyone start Yoga?
At ninety years old you are still practicing Yoga everyday, doing back bends, hand stands etc. I wonder if you can speak a little about your Yoga practice.”
This interview gives us some insight into Guruji’s approach to life and yoga and it becomes clear how this man has affected so many lives around the world. He truly is an elder that we should trust and learn from.
Iyengar Insight: Yoga is one that guides a person on a true path.
