I got tears when he said "I am from a dire poverty and who is there to guide a poor man, an orphan? naturally I have to consult myself", beautiful talk and great language.
I love listening to old Indians talk. They speak with such rigor, affirmation and cynicism that it's so enjoyable to listen to. They always have wonderful stories to tell.
OMG , I just realised , I m in this video !!! The guy at the end with the cap ! Soooooo happy ! Wow ! Great to be in the same video as Guruji one of the greatest ppl ever !
Things Money Can’t Buy Time. Happiness. Inner Peace. Integrity. Love. Character. Manners. Health. Respect. Morals. Trust. Patience. Class. Common sense. Dignity. Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other. Mark Twain Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people. Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.
Such a great man, humbleness bordering with self-deprecation. A great teacher never becomes complacent, never stops learning and developing, and in the end he encourages his students to develop the system further. So many parallels with Carl Rogers...
I love this! I have done yoga since the 70's. Started when I was 16. I have never been able to do the jumping part of this yoga. 1st time I've heard where this jumping part came from.
Mental health has been added to WHO's definition of health only recently but the idea of a holistic health existed centuries ago and had been repeatedly said in Yoga practices. I can't believe it gets so little attention in this era but it speaks from centuries of experience and growth❤️
I am not a native speaker of English so my words can't have much power but my feeling is pure, a sincere thanks for unloading this video, it's eternal feekling to see my guru ji,
You don't look good .. yet feel amazing, energized, peaceful, spritely. For me iyengar's explanations help me understand the case that carries my sole.💛
extremely good. I am really speechless. Guruji's contribution in the field of yoga would last for coming at least four five centuries. hats off..salute..
The legend of Yoga explains so simply and eloquently. From 16:23 to 16:53 he provides a clear answer to a great question that everyone should ask themselves.
More over Yoga literally means Union.. UNION With INFINITE DIVINE FIELD GOD OR WHATEVER YOU LABEL What is the consequence of union? Obviously free from Mind and Body.. Free from Stress Disease Depression etc
Wow, 90+ years and arguing for the necessity of progress in Yoga as well as in science. Moreover It's so evident listening to him that he calls it as he sees it, and his judgement is clear in all instances. Very impressive.

So priveleged to see Gurujee sharing such knowledge graciously. Appreciate how he reminds us about yoga being univwrsal, sarva bhava, when the interviewer is trying to divide yoga in east vs west.
Master Iyengar had some marvelous sayings. In this case he would say, "what the is point of man training to be a racehorse, when later on his life he ends up being a cart horse"... Hahaa...
Yes Yog is indeed Indian and more so, a vedic sanatan dharma tradition. Indian sages have been practicing yoga and meditation since thousands of years. West has made it popular and commercial. Patanjali yog sutras are thousands of years old.
How come only when Guruji talks there's subtitles and not when the interviewer talks? Is it taken for granted that one would automatically understand the American (what sounds to be) accent universally and you would only need subtitles for what is not??
@@MotoVikz Not really. I've seen Scottish and Irish people subtitled because although they were speaking English their heavy accents made them less than easy to understand. Sometimes a misunderstanding in one word creates the wrong impression. Subtitles can go a long way to removing any doubt about what is being said. Not everything is a conspiracy to demean others.
Ross Elliot It's a matter of perspective and your assumption that other accents are unclear and American accent isn't is also one, which is what my point is. Nothing to do with conspiracy.
@@MotoVikz Indeed it is about perspective. For some people, some accents are unclear and subtitles are helpful. If you don't need the help then don't read the subtitles. Other people may find them useful. Each to their own. Live and let live.
IrinkaYoga do also watch , if u prefer, a quest for new life - Three Genius | Triguna | Svyasa International yoga film |2017| /Q3gohvCjDn4 .......only on youtube!!
He asks her how long SHE has done yoga and she says she's done it for 28 years. The subtitles were wrong. He then mentions something he's discovered and asks her if she knew that which she didn't even after 28 years of practice.
So tru master Iyengar...so tru... To put traditions in another way... A Christian says, I am a Christian... A Muslim says, I am a Muslim... The Vedas say, I am Human ... Hahaha...this statement pertains to all cultures...not just Indian.... Yoga is a science of its own, Indians didn't invent Hatha Yoga...they in time perfected it. Hahaha.. As Master Iyengar once said, Yoga doesn't belong to any one or nation... Whether U are doing horseriding, gymnastics or meditation it's still Yoga, think about...they are all postures to a certain degree... So there....Hahaa... Sadguru Mahrajai Kay... Blessed be The Guru...hah...
