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..

He was very honest and a down to earth man. Without any "holy man" attitude.

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.

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

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...

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.

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❤️

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.

So thankful for his teachings and wisdom!

He is so wise, a real enjoyable interview. Thanks

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,

I have never seen someone say such level of mature answers.. a ture Guru 🙏🙏

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..

This guy knows how to take interview .Far far better than our so called famous journalists.

Wow ....what a interview. So pleased to hear from this Man in such a beautiful way about Yoga. Proud to be an Indian

He lived 95 years even he was a abnormal kid that’s all power of yoga 🧘‍♂️

Discovering yoga has made me mentally stronger, believing in myself not my flashbacks.... Be strong 💪😍

Amazing human being. Thank you for this interview

Thank God, that this interview was preserved. Shri Iyengar is such simple man!

I wish I had met Guruji.. Inspiration!

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.

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.

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.

Really wonderful discussion here, when Iyengar speaks I listen closely and often multiple times.

Such a wonderfully enlightening interview. A teacher always.

Feel heaven while watching this.. listening his words..

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.

The legend😊 inspirational for all, thank you for your message guru Iyengar

What a tremendous interview!

Things Money Can’t Buy Time. Happiness. Inner Peace. Integrity. Love. Character. Manners. Health. Respect. Morals. Trust. Patience. Class. Common sense. Dignity. Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other. Mark Twain Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people. Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.

It's amazing how he never let's the guy completes his questions but he answers them all. LOL

One of the JEWEL of India, who had such DEEP ANALYSIS of YOGA

The Yoga - Immortal subject will remain the Immortal for forever..

Just Beautiful 🙏🏻🌻

we indians have forgotten our ancient history rich knowledge which western world acknowledge and explore while we try be more and more western

Amazing how wisdom comprehends the present and the critical questions past forth.

Thanks so much for posting this.....guruji is a living legend.....

Wow. This guy is truly awesome

Such a ready smile, so joyful😍

PURE SOUTH INDIAN LEGEND

Very very brilliant and charismatic yoga guru , wish he is my guru 🙏🧘🏻‍♂️🤸🏻‍♂️

The guru never lets the interviewer finish his question, its hilarious

so inspirational. so much wisdom & humility and a playfulness in Guruji.

Quisiera tener un maestro de este nivel a mi lado para tener un mejor crecimiento en todo

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.

Such a Beautiful talk. Guru

Pranam 🙏 guru dev ❤

Yoga gave this man so much clarity

Wow ! Wonderful interview of Guruji :)

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...

I loved this...it's like conversations with my Grandpaji :)

he's amazing :)

More than lucid. I don't think I'm as quick at twenty.

"Jumping for what"!? ...lol the interviewer listens but doesn't understand. ;)

Ill do yoga just to get my eyebrow game enlightened

This is amazing...thank you, thank you, thank you.

When Guruji says, It is not from India, It is originated in india , It is for the whole human being

Thank you for sharing!!

Wow...his words resonnate long after he has finished...

This is brilliant!!!

Amazing eyebrows! I wish I could touch it and trim it.

Iyengar the guru !!!

As he rightly said.. Yoga will remain immortal as long as human race exist..

Thank you.

wow the command on language

I'm guessing the clarity of voice even at that age comes from yoga.

He is legend of Yoga...

Great man,natural presentation.

I love this interview

Salute you guruji..we are blessed to have you

great episode, thanks!

J. Krishnamurti suggested to Iyengar to never call himself a guru, and he never did.

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

I really want to do yoga now

Such Wisdom , Thanks

I'm here cause of Google! Anyone else!?

He is really amazing

He is not an Indian ,he is universal .

So energetic at this age.

"But ask them, what is holistic health,,,Motherfucker!!!??" I love this guy,,,,! No bullshit Gurugi,,,!,,,dont ever change,,,!

The great man of india

2:06 "it's like a drill system". A mistake in script.

Such a good Master !!

I'm here becouse of google

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.

Lovely, deep, simple

Thank God no cast based rivalry in the comment section

the legend

damnit he's so cute!!

So tru master Iyengar...so tru... To put traditions in another way... A Christian says, I am a Christian... A Muslim says, I am a Muslim... The Vedas say, I am Human ... Hahaha...this statement pertains to all cultures...not just Indian.... Yoga is a science of its own, Indians didn't invent Hatha Yoga...they in time perfected it. Hahaha.. As Master Iyengar once said, Yoga doesn't belong to any one or nation... Whether U are doing horseriding, gymnastics or meditation it's still Yoga, think about...they are all postures to a certain degree... So there....Hahaa... Sadguru Mahrajai Kay... Blessed be The Guru...hah...

namaste , thank you for sharing

very nice and interested
