~ RIP yoga guru ~

One of the greatest exponents of Yoga, B K S Iyengar has passed away at the age of 95. My first memory of BKS Iyengar was during my school days when father used to read & practice daily. I used to join my father to practice yoga on Sunday mornings. 

Never got to see the man in person. RIP Guruji.

~ Finding yourself ~

From George Harrison to the late Steve Jobs, there have been countless Westerners who have been fascinated with India for Spirituality, Music, Mysticism, Gods, Culture, Food or what-ever. The documentary - Indian Gurus by Louis Theroux - highlights the number of Westerners who are living in India at various ashrams and following the Gurus. While Indians are fascinated with worshipping the Gods at Temple, the Westerns seem to be fascinated with these Gurus :P

My need for a Guru would be restricted to guidance & direction and not beyond that. I don't feel the need for so much objectivity & projecting themselves bigger than life, to sell spirituality.  For everything else, you just gotta practice to realize yourself better. Start exploring within.
