Yogi-Vareṇyaḥ

From the publisher

A hundred years of life is rare. To reach that age with such vitality, clarity, discipline and remarkable freedom from the illnesses that commonly accompany advanced age is rarer still. Sri B.N.S. Iyengar's centenary is not merely a milestone of age; it is the celebration of a life wholly devoted to Yoga.

For decades, Yoga has been the light Guruji has carried into the world, touching generations of students and preserving a tradition that leads beyond the body towards wisdom and a deeper understanding of life.

The present Felicitation Volume brings together three dimensions of this extraordinary journey. The first presents Guruji's life sketch, tracing the people, places, teachers and experiences that have shaped him. The second, Soul Education, is a compendium of his teachings on āsana, mudrā, prāṇāyāma, meditation and philosophy, revealing the depth of a tradition he has carried and transmitted for decades. The third gathers tributes and personal recollections from students across the world, offering intimate glimpses of the teacher they know, admire and respect.

Together, these pages celebrate the teacher, preserve a living tradition, and offer gratitude for the light of Yoga that Guruji has shared with the world for a lifetime.
