An encounter with Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, a Hatha Yogi par excellence.
It was nearly 35 years ago. I was a “novato” (beginner) in yoga, a student of The Yoga Institute, bubbling with enthusiasm for this new found science. I had great teachers - Shri Yogendraji, Mother Sitadevi, Dr. Jayadeva.
At that time, a ‘Friends of Yoga’ group started at The Yoga Institute. With their blessings and financing, I went on a search and find mission to find the authentic Yogis of India, for compilation of Yogis’ names and yoga centres.
After going around India, and meeting renowned Yogis, I went to Madras, and in a suburban bungalow, I met Yogi T. Krishnamacharya.
He received me graciously, and I explained to him my mission. He was nearing 70 at that time, but he was hale and hearty. He was dressed in a Dhoti, with a bare torso. He had sharp and penetrating eyes, and exuded energy. He was 5 foot 2 inches, but was a giant of Hatha Yoga. I felt intense and positive vibrations from this great Yogi.
After spending an hour with him, I asked him whether he could teach me Hatha Yoga. “Come next year”, he said, to which I foolishly replied, “Will there be time?” He caught the thought behind my words, and asked me, “Well, are you in a hurry to die?” He floored me with his reply.

How hunger and thirst run our lives
कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
