Fpyk news letter October 2005

 

 

Yoga is one of the six schools of philosophy of India. Yoga is not

mere practicing the asana but a higher practice called `sadhana.'

Unfortunately, most people are spending their time in practicing the

asana only without thinking of the practice of other limbs of yoga.

Further, many have not understood that, `Asana is not a physical

exercise or a body work-out.'

 

`Releasing in November 2005'

 

DVD and audio CD of

`Pranayama' - primary series.

 

Pranayama DVD is for you to see and practice pranayama and CD is to

hear the instruction to do pranayama when you are traveling or

flying or in other places where you can listen the instruction and

practice.

 

The entire sale proceeds of the DVD and CD go to

One percent of the people can do asana with vinyasa.

Ninety nine percent of the people can do asana.

One hundred percent of people can do pranayama. So, you can

definitely do pranayama.

Guruji was in Bangalore to attend the marriage of one of our

relatives in the first week of September 2005. When he saw my

daughter, he said to me, `Viswa! When will you arrange the marriage

of your daughter? Will you do it soon before I leave this world?'

(My family members call me `Viswa')

My maternal uncle who is also one of the brothers-in-law of Guruji,

who was sitting next to Guruji, immediately said, `he (Viswa) will

arrange the marriage of his daughter as soon as possible but you

will be living for another ten years.'

There was a chorus of voice from a few who were sitting close by and

listening to the conversation, `We want to attend your centenary

birth celebrations and you will live long.'

Guruji, in his sparkling eyes, said, `all of you wish a lot. I do

not know.'

 

Guruji should complete his 100 years and every one of us should

celebrate his centenary birthday. I hope that all of you will wish

him the same.

Master ji,

You've given me new eyes and passion for my ashtanga and more

importantly yoga practice. I started realizing that teaching is also

about psychological awareness and appreciated you pointing out to me

the need to be totally relaxed and comfortable in the practice to

achieve my own level of perfection.

Thank you for providing a very spiritual environment to study & find

God - To allow your students to walk their own path & be open to

find it in your shala...

Much love & light always.
