In Honor of BKS Iyengar

Words cannot express how much this man has given to others. Thank you, Mr. Iyengar! Please comment with a notable BKS Iyengar lesson/memory in the comments section as a tribute to BKS.

14 December, 1918 ~ 20 August, 2014.

    Thanks for introducing me to BKS, Tim. I never heard of him. Seems to have impacted many, many lives – including yours!

    I looked up his 8 quotes. I liked the one about not giving up even though we will never be perfect.

    • Bob,

      As always, thank you for the comment 🙂

      You’re referring to this one, right? “Do not stop trying just because perfection eludes you.” Interesting quote.

      I like these two: “Illuminated emancipation, freedom, unalloyed and untainted bliss await you, but you have to choose to embark on the Inward Journey to discover it.”

      “When you inhale, you are taking the strength from God. When you exhale, it represents the service you are giving to the world.”

      If you’re interested in more of BKS’ philosophy, this interview will shed light: http://www.namarupa.org/magazine/nr03/downloads/NamaRupa_03_02.pdf

      Peace & all good….

    Hi tim,

    Yes, that’s the one!
    As to the next one you quoted: I don’t understand what it means. As you know, I like short and simple – which this is NOT! LOL!

7/14 Quote: Ronald Reagan

“In our obsessions with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quietly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.” ~Ronald […]
