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.
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 !
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.
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❤️
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..
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,
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.💛
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
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.
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.

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...
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.
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.
He asks her how long SHE has done yoga and she says she's done it for 28 years. The subtitles were wrong. He then mentions something he's discovered and asks her if she knew that which she didn't even after 28 years of practice.

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" 😄
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.
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
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 !

How was your personal experience with the guru??
@@Luwangli A true guru in a world of fakes ! Really worked hard at yoga everyday of his life till his last day !
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

Wow! I love this man!! The wisdom is palpable!
The sense of humor is just… beautiful!! ❤️
Great to see how he predicts the question middle way and answers.
Ram Prakash wisdom comprehends the present and the critical questions past forth.
He is outstanding His replies are so precise and accurate, and the smiling eyes add to all this story.

This is a great interview. Interviewer asked the right questions at the right time and BKR Iyengar gave very sharp responses.
Oh this is so beautiful!!! I wish I had been able to see him in person before he left the body.
extremely good.

I have never seen someone say such level of mature answers.. a ture Guru 🙏🙏
Amazing human being. Thank you for this interview
I wish I had met Guruji.. Inspiration!
This guy knows how to take interview .Far far better than our so called famous journalists.
He lived 95 years even he was a abnormal kid that’s all power of yoga 🧘♂️
Wow ....what a interview. So pleased to hear from this Man in such a beautiful way about Yoga. Proud to be an Indian
Thank God, that this interview was preserved. Shri Iyengar is such simple man!
Really wonderful discussion here, when Iyengar speaks I listen closely and often multiple times.
This was so meaningful and gave me hope for myself. 🙏
What a great man he was. He was not only talented in his specially but also so good philosophy.
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.

Feel heaven while watching this.. listening his words..
Such a wonderfully enlightening interview. A teacher always.

Wow ! Wonderful interview of Guruji :)
I loved this...it's like conversations with my Grandpaji :)

Very very brilliant and charismatic yoga guru , wish he is my guru 🙏🧘🏻♂️🤸🏻♂️
The guru never lets the interviewer finish his question, its hilarious
Quisiera tener un maestro de este nivel a mi lado para tener un mejor crecimiento en todo
"Jumping for what"!? ...lol
the interviewer listens but doesn't understand. ;)
More than lucid. I don't think I'm as quick at twenty.
This is amazing...thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yoga gave this man so much clarity
Thank you for sharing!!
Ill do yoga just to get my eyebrow game enlightened
Amazing eyebrows! I wish I could touch it and trim it.
This is brilliant!!!
I really want to do yoga now
wow the command on language
When Guruji says, It is not from India, It is originated in india , It is for the whole human being
Wow...his words resonnate long after he has finished...
great episode, thanks!
Thank you.
Iyengar the guru !!!
Great man,natural presentation.
I love this interview
He is legend of Yoga...
Such Wisdom , Thanks
So energetic at this age.
namaste , thank you for sharing
Salute you guruji..we are blessed to have you
I'm guessing the clarity of voice even at that age comes from yoga.
As he rightly said.. Yoga will remain immortal as long as human race exist..
Such a good Master !!
He is really amazing
The great man of india
"But ask them, what is holistic health,,,Motherfucker!!!??" I love this guy,,,,! No bullshit Gurugi,,,!,,,dont ever change,,,!

man is one of the finest humans walked on earth after 1800s
damnit he's so cute!!
2:06 "it's like a drill system".
A mistake in script.
He asks her how long SHE has done yoga and she says she's done it for 28 years. The subtitles were wrong. He then mentions something he's discovered and asks her if she knew that which she didn't even after 28 years of practice.
He is not an Indian ,he is universal .
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
