Iyengar's home town, Bellur, was in the grip of the influenza pandemic at the time of his birth, and an attack of that disease left the young boy sickly and weak for many years. Throughout his childhood, he struggled with malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and general malnutrition. "My arms were thin, my legs were spindly, and my stomach protruded in an ungainly manner," he wrote. "My head used to hang down, and I had to lift it with great effort."[12]. This should help people understand his achievements better
"Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured." “My Body Is My Temple And Asanas Are My Prayers” That explains it all
@Ranger one I think you're mixing up Iyengar with Krishnamacharya. Iyengar had his center in Pune. And anyway the name only means it's his take on the yoga that the mythical Patanjali talks about. Just like if Michael Jordan were to teach basketball, he'd call the school MJ basketball - doesn't mean he claims that he invented the game. Capisce?
YOGA is magic 6 months back I was not able to move my leg at age the age of 33 because I was over weight and after 6 mnths of doing YOGA along with healthy diet I can do difficult asans with out support and lost 22 KG naturally
Sigh! such stretch exercises can be found all over the world. Now about love and peace, just check the slaughter of Indian students by the Indian government for standing up to government bigotry!
I had scoliosis and got a bad surgery over 10 years ago. Didn't used my body at all (natural scientist and studied molecular medicine so was only learning the western view of the body and illnesses) or gave him any attention until the problems became as big to wake me up. Starting stretching and realized that I am doing iyengar yoga (for 3 years now). I am improving although it's more difficult because of the inequality in my body and a spine that is blocked over a big part (11 thoracic segment to 3rd lumbar segment). This yoga practice changed everything for me. Very grateful that I was brought to yoga through the universe and to this video. I love the speech and the whole video! Love you all!
To be able to speak clearly and without any strain while doing and holding these asanas literally blows my mind. I’m totally enamored by the lack of effort he has to exert for any of them... at 65... I’m 30 and I’d die.
Beautiful! I remember Guruji saying: "When I take class I am no longer BKS Iyengar" I struggled to understand that simple phrase. It stayed in my mind for many years until slowly; very slowly it dawned upon me. And in my own teaching I sometimes became aware that I the teacher and the class were one. And when it happens the class and I do not practice meditation - We are the meditation. My eternal gratitude to my Guruji
In this video, Iyengar was 65 years old. He dropped his body at 95 yo. Impressive. Such an inspiration. Read Light on Yoga and you’ll see all the terrible sicknesses he overcame and yet had a very long life.
In 1984 I was 14 and didn't attend this. I wish I had and made this a practise. I'm grateful to technology and YT that I can see him now. Without leaving home. It's truly wonderful that such videos exist and can continue to help people.
I didn't know the master was dead! I didn't know he was born on 1918 either. His book has been my bible for almost all my life and I'm crying now listening his voice for the first time. Iyengar is love compassion and strenght. His legacy will shine for years and years to come ..
I have always gravitated to Iyengar yogic teaching. This is a wonderful demonstration and lecture by the master. Has completely shifted my understanding and approach to the practice.
I am new to yoga. Yesterday was two months of consistent yoga practice for me. Every single day, anywhere from one to two (sometimes 3, 4) sessions. I have scoliosis and all my muscles have been tight. But in the two months of consistent yoga practice the flexibility I have attained is above and beyond from what it was two months ago. My endurance has increased and I feel better mentally than ever before. My hope is that at the age he is, I'm still able to be flexible. Yoga has given me much purpose and much understanding about self care.
So interesting to watch an actual Indian person who was born into the culture where this practice emerges from. It's much more than breath and movement; the spirit of it, and then his own unique spirit, is palpable. How he integrated anatomy and physiology into the process, for me as a bodyworker, is really cool.
I think, it doesnt matter how old exactly he was - it was an extraordinary performance !!! (but he was 65, cause the video is from May 1984, his 66 birthday was in same year 14. December ! When you all write such "I know it better" answer - then do it right :-) )
Wow! This is real yoga !what we see in tv are just warm ups! "Yoga is a journey from self through self to the self" M so proud m born in this great civilisation....
Being able to do that with such accurate punch, takes years of graceful movements and understanding of how your internal body flows and respects and all its elements. Taking yourself on an internal journey through yoga keeps you Aware
You know what i LOVE about yoga ...it actually took time to think about what women go through during their menstrual cycle NO form of western exercise has ever taken the time to think about that ....
In India, there are a temple that celebrates menstruation. It just makes me happy how ancient Indians were such civilized and it also makes me sad how the Indian people became so uncivilized forgetting their root. India cannot even make Yoga compulsory in school now nor it is encouraged.
@@sriramsrinivasan5011 Brother, if we make yoga compulsary, abrahamic religions will cry foul and allege majoritarianism. There are so many obstacles in this country.
Yoga help people in evolution process, It directly came from Shiva himself. Iyengar sir looks very different species for me. Right now we cant do even one single posture like him, in between he said "if u do not conquer matter (here it is body itself),then how do u conquer spirit" very depth!!!! We must and should experience this, there is lot to explore for human beings!!!!!! Love you all who all are here.

Gandhi , Nehru , Patel etc. Even the Gods and goddesses have no prefix Siva , Krishna etc. But Peetathipathis need Srila Sri . My humble opinion, Sir .
Wow so amazing expertise and Explain how discipline creates a beautiful, peaceful life can be achieved with constant training of mind to do good for the society and to the world with the help of Yoga superb

Inside an unused well in the Indian Jungle , there were two lame frogs. They thought that the dark well and the small round blue sky they saw on top was the cosmos. Till one day during unusually heavy rains, the water level of this well came up and both jumped out on to terra firma. Excited they hopped along till they saw two child animals playing football. Immediately one of the frogs cried that the ball was manufactured by his great grandfather and established ownership over it. The hopped along and wherever they went they gave cock and bull croaking stories of how their ancestors literally invented, discovered , built and made everything in the jungle. They were so shrewd and slimy in their approach that very soon even the King lion was made to believe that the deep jungle belonged to these frogs, and lived in psychological subjugation. Blah Blah -- Every fruit tree was planted by our ancestors, every lake was dug by our ancestors ---- Blah Blah - These two frogs are the equivalent of German Friedrich Max Muller, and Englishman Thomas Babington Macaulay. Macaulay under instructions from the Vatican and told Max Muller how to subvert and hijack world history. In one single master stoke he gave the credit of every ancient Indian vedic work in language, Science, Mathematics , Astronomy etc.to the blonde blue eyed Christian white man. The white master race had NOT invented or discovered anything till they came to India, other than what they grabbed from the Arabs which also arab learn from India.As soon the immoral white invader came to India they learnt Sanskrit, stole our intellectual rights patented it in their names and destroyed the originals ( or kept it back after injecting POISON into the originals ). Why should a Master learn the language of a slave ? Bible considers that the cosmos is a few thousand years old. Western historians have been trying to date Rig Veda to 1500 BC ( instead of 5000 BC ) because as per Bible the creation happened in 4004 BC at 9 AM on 23rd October. *Naturally you cannot have a book written before the creation of cosmos , right ?* So they burn all library of world , rewrite world history and prove that before 4004 bc there is nothing happned call it mythology . Bishop Ussher had declared it as the date of creation. The Holy Bible says that the human race began with Adam and Eve. (All nonsense ) Jesus Was never Exist Jesus is fictional character Plz see this video.... th-cam.com/video/QTmZlckcwMY/w-d-xo.html And Vatican has been pressurising all and sundry to disprove Vedic literature that stated in 5000 BC in writing, that the cosmos is 15 billion years old and that the mind and consciousness has to be factored in. Well the advent of quantum physics has proved Bible and Max Mueller wrong. Fake history is weapon of white invaders even they hijack all world history to hide there crime over humanity and with fraud history humans blame over each other and quarrel . Non violent and vegetarian Indian has never attacked any other country till now-- and as a result invaders murdered 90 million Hindus. ,Burn priceless Library and distort Vedic civilization These vulgar white invaders robbed us blind in 250 years , converting India from the richest on the planet to the poorest. They stole our knowledge and patented it in their names. WHY DID THEY LEARN OUR LANGUAGE SANSKRIT WHY DID THEY STEAL PART 2 ( BRAHMANAS ) AND PART 3 ( ARANYAKAS ) OF OUR VEDAS ? ( THESE TWO SECTIONS CONTAINED BASIS OF SCIENCE AND MATH ) Now they want to make fun of our poverty and ignorance? Not any more ! These immoral people never expected an Internet age , right ? They thought they could control the media, the historians and peer reviewed magazines and control everything , right? Wrong !

BK Iyengar was a great sage who came down on earth to teach us the secret to lead a healthy and peaceful life, Iyengar Yoga simply put is life changing, life transforming, life enhancing and life rejuvenating. Practise it everyday, even if for 15mins.

Gandhi , Nehru , Patel etc. Even the Gods and goddesses have no prefix Siva , Krishna etc. But Peetathipathis need Srila Sri . My humble opinion, Sir .
Very impressive, indeed. Increible y maravilloso

No words to express.. a great experience to watch the legendary performance
Inside an unused well in the Indian Jungle , there were two lame frogs.
They thought that the dark well and the small round blue sky they saw on top was the cosmos. Till one day during unusually heavy rains, the water level of this well came up and both jumped out on to terra firma.
Excited they hopped along till they saw two child animals playing football. Immediately one of the frogs cried that the ball was manufactured by his great grandfather and established ownership over it.
The hopped along and wherever they went they gave cock and bull croaking stories of how their ancestors literally invented, discovered , built and made everything in the jungle.
They were so shrewd and slimy in their approach that very soon even the King lion was made to believe that the deep jungle belonged to these frogs, and lived in psychological subjugation.
Blah Blah -- Every fruit tree was planted by our ancestors, every lake was dug by our ancestors ---- Blah Blah -
These two frogs are the equivalent of German Friedrich Max Muller, and Englishman Thomas Babington Macaulay.
Macaulay under instructions from the Vatican and told Max Muller how to subvert and hijack world history.
In one single master stoke he gave the credit of every ancient Indian vedic work in language, Science, Mathematics , Astronomy etc.to the blonde blue eyed Christian white man.
The white master race had NOT invented or discovered anything till they came to India, other than what they grabbed from the Arabs which also arab learn from India.As soon the immoral white invader came to India they learnt Sanskrit, stole our intellectual rights patented it in their names and destroyed the originals ( or kept it back after injecting POISON into the originals ).
Why should a Master learn the language of a slave ?
Bible considers that the cosmos is a few thousand years old. Western historians have been trying to date Rig Veda to 1500 BC ( instead of 5000 BC ) because as per Bible the creation happened in 4004 BC at 9 AM on 23rd October.
*Naturally you cannot have a book written before the creation of cosmos , right ?*
So they burn all library of world , rewrite world history and prove that before 4004 bc there is nothing happned call it mythology .
Bishop Ussher had declared it as the date of creation. The Holy Bible says that the human race began with Adam and Eve.
(All nonsense )
Jesus Was never Exist
Jesus is fictional character
Plz see this video....
th-cam.com/video/QTmZlckcwMY/w-d-xo.html
And Vatican has been pressurising all and sundry to disprove Vedic literature that stated in 5000 BC in writing, that the cosmos is 15 billion years old and that the mind and consciousness has to be factored in. Well the advent of quantum physics has proved Bible and Max Mueller wrong.
Fake history is weapon of white invaders even they hijack all world history to hide there crime over humanity and with fraud history humans blame over each other and quarrel .
Non violent and vegetarian Indian has never attacked any other country till now-- and as a result invaders murdered 90 million Hindus. ,Burn priceless Library and distort Vedic civilization
These vulgar white invaders robbed us blind in 250 years , converting India from the richest on the planet to the poorest. They stole our knowledge and patented it in their names.
WHY DID THEY LEARN OUR LANGUAGE SANSKRIT
WHY DID THEY STEAL PART 2 ( BRAHMANAS ) AND PART 3 ( ARANYAKAS ) OF OUR VEDAS ? ( THESE TWO SECTIONS CONTAINED BASIS OF SCIENCE AND MATH )
Now they want to make fun of our poverty and ignorance?
Not any more !
These immoral people never expected an Internet age , right ?
They thought they could control the media, the historians and peer reviewed magazines and control everything , right?
Wrong !

So glad he said ''when the effort becomes effortless''. There is no doer. This is key, which most western people never get.
I learnt a lot from him. He is a true legend. At this age also,he performed such a difficult asnas. Really its inspiration to all of us do yoga every day.
Greatest gift of life excellent tutorials a strong performance and awesome teacher.
The flow of Prana says it all. Truely inspiring. 🙏
All of his postures are done with complete innocence. Not about ego or looking good. Innocence towards his body. Love.
We are all gifted because of B.K.S.Iyangar. Treasure of India.
He is India's pride and asset. How many of you concentrating in BGM ie., India's classical music which gives heavy motivation to do yoga .
holy shit he is so flexible at 60+ years old. this is goals.
