I got tears when he said "I am from a dire poverty and who is there to guide a poor man, an orphan? naturally I have to consult myself", beautiful talk and great language.
I love listening to old Indians talk. They speak with such rigor, affirmation and cynicism that it's so enjoyable to listen to. They always have wonderful stories to tell.
Such a great man, humbleness bordering with self-deprecation. A great teacher never becomes complacent, never stops learning and developing, and in the end he encourages his students to develop the system further. So many parallels with Carl Rogers...

I love this! I have done yoga since the 70's. Started when I was 16. I have never been able to do the jumping part of this yoga. 1st time I've heard where this jumping part came from.
OMG , I just realised , I m in this video !!! The guy at the end with the cap ! Soooooo happy ! Wow ! Great to be in the same video as Guruji one of the greatest ppl ever !
extremely good. I am really speechless. Guruji's contribution in the field of yoga would last for coming at least four five centuries. hats off..salute..
Mental health has been added to WHO's definition of health only recently but the idea of a holistic health existed centuries ago and had been repeatedly said in Yoga practices. I can't believe it gets so little attention in this era but it speaks from centuries of experience and growth❤️
I am not a native speaker of English so my words can't have much power but my feeling is pure, a sincere thanks for unloading this video, it's eternal feekling to see my guru ji,
The legend of Yoga explains so simply and eloquently. From 16:23 to 16:53 he provides a clear answer to a great question that everyone should ask themselves.
More over Yoga literally means Union.. UNION With INFINITE DIVINE FIELD GOD OR WHATEVER YOU LABEL What is the consequence of union? Obviously free from Mind and Body.. Free from Stress Disease Depression etc

Master Iyengar had some marvelous sayings. In this case he would say, "what the is point of man training to be a racehorse, when later on his life he ends up being a cart horse"... Hahaa...
So priveleged to see Gurujee sharing such knowledge graciously. Appreciate how he reminds us about yoga being univwrsal, sarva bhava, when the interviewer is trying to divide yoga in east vs west.
Wow, 90+ years and arguing for the necessity of progress in Yoga as well as in science. Moreover It's so evident listening to him that he calls it as he sees it, and his judgement is clear in all instances. Very impressive.
You don't look good .. yet feel amazing, energized, peaceful, spritely. For me iyengar's explanations help me understand the case that carries my sole.💛
How come only when Guruji talks there's subtitles and not when the interviewer talks? Is it taken for granted that one would automatically understand the American (what sounds to be) accent universally and you would only need subtitles for what is not??
@@MotoVikz Not really. I've seen Scottish and Irish people subtitled because although they were speaking English their heavy accents made them less than easy to understand. Sometimes a misunderstanding in one word creates the wrong impression. Subtitles can go a long way to removing any doubt about what is being said. Not everything is a conspiracy to demean others.
Ross Elliot It's a matter of perspective and your assumption that other accents are unclear and American accent isn't is also one, which is what my point is. Nothing to do with conspiracy.
@@MotoVikz Indeed it is about perspective. For some people, some accents are unclear and subtitles are helpful. If you don't need the help then don't read the subtitles. Other people may find them useful. Each to their own. Live and let live.
Yes Yog is indeed Indian and more so, a vedic sanatan dharma tradition. Indian sages have been practicing yoga and meditation since thousands of years. West has made it popular and commercial. Patanjali yog sutras are thousands of years old.
I'm not sure what he's trying to say at 06:00? I believe he's giving an example of unhealthy conciousness when he says "suppose you are libertainian" (according to subtitles). Is it libertarian or maybe libertine (like Marquis de Sade)?
I got tears when he said "I am from a dire poverty and who is there to guide a poor man, an orphan? naturally I have to consult myself", beautiful talk and great language.
He was very honest and a down to earth man. Without any "holy man" attitude.
Very surprised by his honesty and humbleness. Assumed he would be like the other "gurus" 😄
This was posted in 2012.. He was 93 years old then.. and look at the way he speaks.. just awesome.. inspiration..
Yes and his teacher Krishnamacharya even get 101 so they must do something right! ; )
He looks more like 63, to me.
@@lovernotfighter see his ear grown so much. For 63 years it wouldn't be so much. So I feel he might have been around or more than 85+
80 I know coz I'm in the video
Doesn't mean it was recorded in 2012 haha
I love listening to old Indians talk. They speak with such rigor, affirmation and cynicism that it's so enjoyable to listen to. They always have wonderful stories to tell.
Iyengar is anything but cynical. Perhaps you mistake his humour for that or you don't understand what the word means.
U bloody don't know who is this ?
@@pwrighter cynism can also reffer to persons that have an opposite way of thinking than the one considered ordinary or on line with society standars

He is outstanding His replies are so precise and accurate, and the smiling eyes add to all this story.

Great to see how he predicts the question middle way and answers.

This is a great interview. Interviewer asked the right questions at the right time and BKR Iyengar gave very sharp responses.
He is so wise, a real enjoyable interview. Thanks
Thank God, that this interview was preserved. Shri Iyengar is such simple man!
Oh this is so beautiful!!! I wish I had been able to see him in person before he left the body.
I have never seen someone say such level of mature answers.. a ture Guru 🙏🙏

The legend😊 inspirational for all, thank you for your message guru Iyengar
What a great man he was. He was not only talented in his specially but also so good philosophy.
He lived 95 years even he was a abnormal kid that’s all power of yoga 🧘♂️
So priveleged to see Gurujee sharing such knowledge graciously.
Appreciate how he reminds us about yoga being univwrsal, sarva bhava, when the interviewer is trying to divide yoga in east vs west.
Wow. I've read Iyengar; done some of the practice. This was AMAZING!!! I had no clue I would actually like the man.
Wow, 90+ years and arguing for the necessity of progress in Yoga as well as in science. Moreover It's so evident listening to him that he calls it as he sees it, and his judgement is clear in all instances. Very impressive.
This guy knows how to take interview .Far far better than our so called famous journalists.
Feel heaven while watching this.. listening his words..
Discovering yoga has made me mentally stronger, believing in myself not my flashbacks.... Be strong 💪😍
mish yensen what is difference between good yoga and fake yoga?
You don't look good .. yet feel amazing, energized, peaceful, spritely.
For me iyengar's explanations help me understand the case that carries my sole.💛
One of the JEWEL of India, who had such DEEP ANALYSIS of YOGA
This was so meaningful and gave me hope for myself. 🙏
so inspirational. so much wisdom & humility and a playfulness in Guruji.
Wonderful interview, thanks for posting
Amazing how wisdom comprehends the present and the critical questions past forth.
Thanks so much for posting this.....guruji is a living legend.....
What a tremendous interview!
Just Beautiful 🙏🏻🌻
Very very brilliant and charismatic yoga guru , wish he is my guru 🙏🧘🏻♂️🤸🏻♂️
Such a ready smile, so joyful😍
The guru never lets the interviewer finish his question, its hilarious
The Yoga - Immortal subject will remain the Immortal for forever..
Quisiera tener un maestro de este nivel a mi lado para tener un mejor crecimiento en todo
It's amazing how he never let's the guy completes his questions but he answers them all. LOL

Yoga gave this man so much clarity
Such a Beautiful talk. Guru
PURE SOUTH INDIAN LEGEND
I loved this...it's like conversations with my Grandpaji :)
"Jumping for what"!? ...lol
the interviewer listens but doesn't understand. ;)
8:49 does anyone know about that book....? If you know please tell me the title of it
He might be talking about Light on Yoga. Maybe updating and adding to new editions?
he's amazing :)
When Guruji says, It is not from India, It is originated in india , It is for the whole human being
More than lucid. I don't think I'm as quick at twenty.
Wow ! Wonderful interview of Guruji :)
Amazing eyebrows! I wish I could touch it and trim it.
"But ask them, what is holistic health,,,Motherfucker!!!??" I love this guy,,,,! No bullshit Gurugi,,,!,,,dont ever change,,,!
This is amazing...thank you, thank you, thank you.
the subtitle made a mistake. conscientious health and conscious health. Mr. Iyengar said both of them
as well as in "conquest of conscience"
Salute you guruji..we are blessed to have you
Wow...his words resonnate long after he has finished...
Ill do yoga just to get my eyebrow game enlightened
Thank you for sharing!!
I watched the Doc last year, This is the complete Iyengar interview? can have some more parts of then?
2:06 "it's like a drill system".
A mistake in script.
I love this interview
Such Wisdom , Thanks
Thank you for posting this. What is the name of the film?
Such a good Master !!
great episode, thanks!
Great man,natural presentation.
I'm not sure what he's trying to say at 06:00? I believe he's giving an example of unhealthy conciousness when he says "suppose you are libertainian" (according to subtitles). Is it libertarian or maybe libertine (like Marquis de Sade)?
Libertine
As he rightly said.. Yoga will remain immortal as long as human race exist..
Iyengar the guru !!!
He is really amazing
This is brilliant!!!
I really want to do yoga now
wow the command on language
So energetic at this age.
man is one of the finest humans walked on earth after 1800s
he has more hair on his eyebrows than some men have on their heads
Don't look for hair. Know that what is actually Yoga...
@@mr.j.s.8456 Relax brother. There is also joking in yoga. It's not just seriousness. If it was you would become as stiff as a board
@@michaelchaplin866 😂😂😂👌
He is legend of Yoga...
Thank you.
namaste , thank you for sharing
I'm guessing the clarity of voice even at that age comes from yoga.
damnit he's so cute!!
I'm here becouse of google
+chrishasaclue im also here bc of google
Not TH-cam
He is not an Indian ,he is universal .
Nice performance of Ayangar, we are also trying to do it, let's try
