Invocation to
Patanjali
Invocation to Patanjali
To
the noblest of sages, Patanjali,
Who
gave Yoga for serenity of mind,
Grammar for purity of speech,
and
Medicine for perfection of the body, I bow.
I
prostrate before Patanjali,
Whose upper body has a human form,
Whose arms hold a conch and disc,
Who
is crowned by a thousand-headed cobra,
O
incarnation of Adisesa, my salutations to thee.
Yogena chittasya padena vajam

Abahu purushakaram
shanka chakrasi dharinam
Sahasra shirasam shvetam
Pranamami Patanjalim

B.K.S. Iyengar : Light on Life
At almost 90 years old, BKS Iyengar has contributed
much to the yoga world. Almost every popular style of yoga
today can thank Iyengar for helping to popularize this art. Now
Iyengar has written a book that takes on a far more personal and
conversational tone than previous works. Light On Life is a book
that brings together all of Iyengar's personal experiences and
insights in his 70+ years as a yoga practitioner.
This is a fantastic book whether you practice Iyengar style yoga
or not. There is a tremendous amount of insight here and
one needs to digest it slowly.
This book blends Iyengar's life story along with wisdom and
philosophy. You will come away from this book with a clear idea
of what the yoga journey is all about. |
