80… Today, 07 December 2024, would have been Geetaji’s 80th birthday. On this day we share more memories once again…

We are missing the gold if we do asanas as a physical practice only.

Whenever we find stiffness in the body, our mind should be especially supple. It is never the stiffness in our bodies that limits our practice, it is always the stiffness of our mind.

 

In an asana, the mind has to reach inside the body to find a quiet space until a point comes where perfect balance is felt.

 

Knowledge has a beginning but  no end.

 

 

These memories were first published in the Journal shortly after Geetaji’s death in 2018.
