Amul Girl gives Tribute to great Yoga Guru BKS Iyengar in her own style by doing some Aasaan. His followers and student across the globe paying him tribute.
World renowned yoga exponent B.K.S. Iyengar passed away at a private hospital in Pune on early Wednesday morning. He was 95.
Born Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar in Karnataka’s Kolar district in 1918 and debilitated by illnesses since his childhood, he codified Patanjali’s yoga sutras in an innovatively dynamic yoga style which came to be known as Iyengar Yoga, winning millions of followers in more than 70 countries of the globe in the process.
He set forth its principles in Light on Yoga (1966), which has since been regarded as the bible of yoga. The book has been translated into 19 languages and has sold more than three million copies.
The Iyengar Yoga National Association of the U.S. (IYNAUS) is calling on its members (approximately 1,000 certified teachers in the U.S., a small percentage of the more than 50,000 teachers currently registered) across the country to “hold Guruji in your hearts” and practice a sequence together in his memory on Tuesday, August 26 at 8:30 pm EST
Narendra Modi Tweeted:
