Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 Here we are:<br><a href=http://personal.inet.fi/private/sold/pretzels.jpg target=new>http://personal.inet.fi/private/sold/pretzels.jpg</a><br><br>Thanks for everything Guruji, Saraswati, Sharath, Lino, Joseph, Juha, Petri, and everyone who participated. This has been an amazing week. Many people experienced openings both physical and cordial and we have the loving energy of our Guru to thank for that. <br><br>The atmosphere this morning was very intense. Everyone felt ready and pumped up for the grande finalé. And grand it was; Guruji took us through the series in a quick pace and seemed to be everywhere: Adjusting here and bellowing "catvari" there. I went through the whole primary series for the first time in my life and it felt GOOD! I was very careful with Setu Bandasana, though, because it is a real neckbreaker if done incorrectly. We were forever in Sirsasana, but it's OK, it is a nice asana, even though my whole body was trembling with exhaustion every now and then.<br><br>Sri K. Pattabhi Jois was overheard saying to our teacher Juha: "Now you practise, practise, practise for two years and then I'll come again." We take that as a promise dear Guruji. <br><br>Our Yoga Mala now sports the blessings of three generations of the Jois family. Priceless. Perhaps I'll need a new copy to read now. <br><br>We also had a Q & A session this evening and I wrote down many interesting tips and truths. Remind me to post a summary some day. Guruji came across as a very read and intelligent man, citing passages of old Sanscrit scriptures by heart and then explaining them to us. Almost all of his answers were based on old writings, truth never gets dated.<br><br>Thanks to you too readers, it has been a good process for me too to write down all these moods and feelings I've been getting from this visit.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 ""What does "catvari" mean?""<br><br>fourth<br><br>see post 998:<br><br>""The sanskrit numbers are listet in Lino's book and you can hear the pronountiation on any of the the videos of Lino, Guruji or Sharath. Actually the numbers used for for counting in astanga yoga are not the numbers 1, 2, 3 a.s.o., but 1st, 2nd, 3rd, a.s.o. meaning 1st vinyasa, 2nd vinyasa, 3rd vinyasa ....<br><br>By the way, why do you only want the numbers until 18? Some asanas have way more viyasas. Supta parsvasahita for instance has 28.<br><br>Anyway here they come: Ekam, dve, trini, catvari, panca, sat, sapta, astau, nava, dasa, ekadasa, dvadasa, trayodasa, caturdasa, pancadasa, sodasa, saptadasa, astadasa.""
