Being 90 years old and having great speech and responsiveness and memory is great....

Full of energy and enthusiasm. His energy is so contagious. Salute!

He suffered a serious health problem when he very young..He started practicing and deriving new techniques ..now known as Iyengar yoga ..Great soul...

We Indians bow down to your yoga and we kannada people never forget you 🙏

Met him when he was 94. Looked awesome. A giant of yoga.

Sometimes I really can't understand why ppl who have no contribution to the world of yoga talk bad about a great master like the late Y.BKD

The part where BKS talks of having a (sharp) needle like consciousness on every part of the body is like the Samadhi as defined in Vipassana!

"you have to show power in order to still your mind" i definetly agree with that view. the few times that stillness of the mind has happened to me has always happened after considerable efforts.

Respect for this man .....

Very nice. He standartitized Yoga movements to an accurate method as much as posible to make every one do it as much as posible correctly. smart move.😊

Thank you guruji for reviving yoga. Will always be in your debt. Your Shavasana is well earned.

Bless this beautiful man

Thank you BKS Iyengar...🙏🙏🙏

Indeed he needed no publicity. He himself was the best advertisement for 🧘‍♀️ ! He did not have an easy life yet despite all the hardship he reached 95 years happily, devoting every day of his life to the betterment of mankind

He is the best yoga guru in the world ..

Moderation is key to success. Any thing stretched to extremity including Yog is self defeating. Temporary, moderate stress is positive. Motivates as well alerts mind. Constant stress leads to emotional break down. To sum up, Yoga is mental. Avoid avoidable . Hold spine, neck , head erect in seating or standing posture. Deep breathing...pranayam..helps concentration on given activity. Yoga is self exploration. Body guides in adopting comfortable postures in promoting peace of mind . Yoga and youthfuleness walk hand in hand.

The greatest master of yoga !!

Guruji you are amazing

No shortcuts in this path - experiencing every step of the way. So grateful for his teachings and guidance, even though I never had a chance to study directly under him. 🙏🏽

Namste in memory of yoga chyarga B. K.S to Ayengar a phenomenal success . I have not chance to meet you. My salutation to you all.🙏🙏🙏🙏👍

Revisiting ❤️

Those eyebrows are of epic proportions lol

greatest man to ever live!!!

He had been a gem . Matchless person

Wow !!! Great to have you Sir ... Namasthe.

The greatness of great souls is the hunger to know more. The search never stops, the improving never stops, so doesn't discovery and learning. He thought he still needs to know more. That itself shows there is no pride that he knows it all. Sad that he went through racism, yet gave his knowledge for free, to bridge the gap.

Respect to guruji ❤️

great soul!

Outstanding 🌹🙏🌹

BKS iyengar is a far relative of our family member he was my grandmother's uncle's son in law.

thank you very much for sharing it

I just pity all the keyboard yogis giving their gyaan on Guruji's thoughts and practise. Truth is 99% of them have never done even Taadasana........ Edit - when he talks to Pranoy Roy who is at least 40 years younger, he addresses him as "Sir", any other guru would have said "beta" or tried to behave superior.....

Long live Guruji

Truly a great man. A giant.

Yoga guru ..world India proud of his work.

What a great analogy paraphrased below: Needle is the consciousness, the eye of the needle is the intelligence, the head of the thread is the mind. So the moment the head of thread enters into the eye of the needle, the mind disappears. It dissolves. There is no mind. Then only the thread is left, that is the body and the intelligence the needle of the eye because you hold the needle as an eye, which you call the intellectual eye. So that it sews the entire body. So you can reap the benefits of the intelligence in each and every part of your body.

If you want to learn yoga follow b k s Iyengar sir . He's deep knowledge of it . Iyenger gives advice to do kapalbhati slowly and Ramdev says to do it as quickly as possible.

Love you guruji

sorry to break it out for all of you that he already gave the answer to the question of 'the pressure and stress among youngsters' at 12:16 to 12:22.. its not his mistake that you the audience didnt notice it.. plus what i felt is they are making him do exactly ehat he doesnt want in his mission i.e, publicity.. he is not shy , he is rather aware of people's blithering idiocracy... he knew more and better than us that he is going be highlighted less for his yoga skills and techniques and more for the marketing values of it.... He is really into art , and not the business.. A true Martyr.

Master of Yoga .....💐

The youth also so much happy and energetic in 2008 than today

Sri gurubho namha

Great soul

Thank you !!

Guruji is great. ❤️

❤ loved it

Great man

yoga is from lord shiva the ultimate power passed to saints , yoga is from bks Lyengar

love you y dear guru

BKS Iyengar was greatest hathyogi of the world on his era.

What a man !

Let We can celebrate IYD...In the name of Iyengar...

Best yogi in india

Dandwat Pranam Shri. Iyengar. You are someone who makes every Indian Proud and teaches us how one should be. Now in 2019, I want to ask Pranav Sir, what has happened to your channel. You don't keep people like you or it does not have it in India now. None of the channels who have been termed pro or anti these days, have people who can speak truth and at least who can speak sensibly. I know people retire too, and you might not be actively associated with affairs of NDTV,but believe me you, when I find anchors speaking stupid or trying to say stories just to influence and bring a particular mindset. It hurts, instead, Media should always present things as it is. Never to be in for or against a camp should be the main thing. But I am not alleging anything against you but so far as I know, I have stopped watching news altogether. Even if I watch I go to ALzazeera these days or BBC. CNN always discusses TRUMP and whom to name perhaps this is dumbing down affect. Will you hire me, I am available, Kindly call me for interview at least. Regards.

Legend!

It was really nice to hear this informal discussion. Wish Prannoy Roy had spoken lesser so that we could have heard more from BKS Iyengar. Our journalists need to learn to stop interrupting (unintential interruptions - I admit) during their interviews.

Grateful toBKS I

Legend 🙏

🙏🏻

🙏🙏🙏🙏

❤️

This interview might be one of the few good things NDTV has done 😂

@11:44 yoga and concentration. In astanga yoga Dyana needs concentration Asana (here generally stated as yoga) paves way for concentration by cleansing the flow of energy inside body and by keeping off diseases. So Asana does not by itself improve concentration but helps in the journey towards concentration. Btw I'm just rephrasing what Iyengar said....to address the common misconception

There was a film reel of this YOGA Guru of doing Yogic positions in 1932.Well known until today and later versions came as a fashion in the west.

Genius

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

🙏🙏🙏💪❤️👏

Host look so eager to talk. Let Yoga Guru talk

The ankhor will never understand a word, for that you have to be in yoga, love you Guruji

Greatest ::: intellectual sweat 😓

My brother&sisters, 👁️Focus on it, what he said at 11:13? "westerners have taken Yoga more than Indians" Very Sad😞! we Indians are losing our God_Gifted_Art_Yoga! and taking western pills/medecines to cure disease without even knowing the main root cause behind it. how stupid😞 we are? we don't even know that does we really need medecines? please brother and sisters try to understand it otherwise we'll lose our Arts one by one!

NDTV and YOGA ?

Why the abrupt ending...?

Dear yoga friends, the gymnastics shown here don't have much to do with real hatha yoga. Take any western acrobatic gymnast and they will be able to do all of these poses and more, since they have much better strength training. Take Shaolin master at the age 80 or 90, they will show you amazing flexibility and strength fits, perhaps more difficult what is shown here. Once I was attending a yoga seminar with about 70 advanced Iyengar yoga teachers with 20-25 years of experience, some were very senior Iyengar teachers, and the question was to tell what is the true goal of hatha - I am sorry to say that all were surprised by the question and none gave the proper answer. So, my question was how can you teach what you claim is hatha yoga, if you do not know its true goal. Nath sampradaya yogis are true founders of hatha tradition and the strong and flexible bodies are only unimportant side benefits of their much deeper practise, Astha Siddhis are standing at their feet as sign posts of their progress, therefore they are called siddhas.....Om Namo Narayanaya

The interviewer is terrible! He doesn't understand and know who Guruji is

This same NDTV opposing to bring yoga into the schools, Sanskrit into the schools.

see the change in body when you follow him fron 1 day

His Eyebrows are unique. He needed a comb.

Can I get Full video

Why the abrupt ending...? Also, I beg to differ from this great man that there is no such thing as 'westernized' yoga. here in America yoga is being practiced and taught at every nook and corner, but in my experience it is done quite improperly and inaccurately. They have modified it greatly and to me that is sacrilege.

RIP Thar doctor.

How dreadful to hear the racism that he had to endure, that he was not allowed to go first or not allowed to stay jn certain hotels. Shame on those who imposed it

Anchor didn't understand the thing of the analogy explained by Yogi.

Same NDTV will make a big issue if yoga is introduced in schools

He looks like Martin Scorsese

Pls tell me ,do we have to diet when we are practising yoga?

RNDTV

Don’t call yourself as India just write NDTV questions...

Evidence that Yoga helps you grow your eyebrows.

talks on hindu gods art...on anti hindu chanel.....ha ha ha

He is a bit egotistic. Unless the ego dies, you can never be a true yogi. This is outside in approach. I love the inside out approach of Sri RamaKrishna Paramahamsa.

Hindi janne Vale jyada h

J is

yoga is from lord shiva the ultimate power passed to saints , yoga is not not from bks Lyengar

BKS is good within his Limits, His Ego, Arrogance shrouds his Vidya though. There are so many I did, I taught, I was the first one, I found it in speech. He is a very Angry man too, if you have encountered with him. Last but not the least, , why should a YOGI at this age of 90 be clad with so much of GOLD head to toe. So materialistic - Achievement in Body is so futile... A doctor does it better.

Deep breathing is dangerous yoga

India loose best President...Of India.

very sad mahaguru is speaking to a clown like james
