I met Jehangir Palkhivala at lunch today , as he is a houseguest of my teacher , Jorgen C.
Jorgen had mentioned Jehangir taught yoga in Mumbai but did not really provide any additional info. beyond that.
During lunch , I asked Jehangir how long he had been practicing , and he replied , since the age of 7 , as the yoga teacher was a friend of his family.
The "yoga teacher" turned out to be B.K.S. Iyengar.
You can read the full article on Jehangir's story from UpperCrust India here :

As the article states , " How many are priveleged to be nurtured by Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyenga himself ? To be simultaneously blessed by Sri Aurobindo & The Mother of Pondicherry ? "
And to remain humble & radiate calm as a result.
