Wednesday, July 27, 2011 is forever etched in my memory...... I was very very lucky to meet Guruji....
I happened to go to the Iyengar centre in Pune for some work and thats when I got a chance to meet Guruji. Actually when the person said that I could meet Guruji, I was scared & I declined. but the person gently prodded me to meet him...
I gathered courage to face Guruji & went inside the library. He was sitting & working on Yoga Sutra's. I cannot describe my experience after that, actually I dont remember exactly what happenned. I was completely mesmerised looking at him.
I sat down falling at his feet & did a Namaskar to him. I was tongue tied.. speechless... enchanted by his sight.... He was wearing a white kurta & mundu... white hair on his shoulders & sharp eyes... I could not take my eyes off him... the Grand Young Man of 94, B K S Iyengar, Guruji for us, himself in front of me... I had to take in as much I could with my eyes...
He gently asked me if I was a yoga student & I nodded... still could not speak.. Then he said something which I cannot remember... I just kept looking at him spellbound.
After some time I got up & left taking his blessings with me & still remembering his sight.
I feel truly blessed that I got a chance to meet him. There was always a wish to meet him but I never knew that it would be fulfilled so suddenly. I am grateful very very grateful....
It is a day I shall always remember....
Om Shanti
