Advanced Ashtanga Practice : Sri K. Pattabhi Jois

Thanks to Amirglick for sharing this vintage video of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois leading Chuck Miller , Gary Lopodota , Clifford Sweattle & Tim Miller through the Third series. This was filmed at Tim Miller's shala in Encinitas. Check out the full series on YouTube . It is inspiring. I really like how up to now , the traditional led classes at yogashalas still maintain the same chants , counts & sequences that are in this vdo. And the soundtrack of Ujjayi is very audible -

TYMI 2011 : Global Support Growing

I'd like to thank Kayoko M. & the team at Yoga Gives Back for this credit on the TYMI page :

" Thank You Mother India was started as a very successful local fundraiser for Yoga Gives Back by YGB Ambassador Jorgen Christiansson of Omkar 108 Yoga & and his student , yoga blogger Peter A. of MahaMondo in Los Angeles in October 2010. For its second year , YGB is expanding the event into a global fundraiser with its global presence . "

To date , there are 30 yogashalas & centers that have stepped up & committed to donate to TYMI 2011 , & it is a veritable global "Mondo " as in MahaMondo in terms of their location spectrum : from NYC , Miami , Rio de Janeiro , Sao Paulo , Stockholm , Costa Rica , London & Hong Kong , with more to come.

I am humbled to have given a little push back in 2010 to get this SEVA going. It has always been my belief that " Talk is cheap , it is what one does that speaks volumes ".

You still have 2 months to express your gratitude via donation & support to Mother India for the gift of Yoga.

Maharaja : Sobre Sankirtana & Cuba

Srila Acharyadeva, H.H. Hridayananda Das Goswami, is fluent in 7 languages. In this vdo , he demonstrates his facility "em Portuges" as he talks about the significance of the Sankirtan movement. I am very blessed to be able to have had darshan once again with him this morning , as we walked for an hour , here in Los Angeles. Walking with him gave me a sense & feeling of what it was like when he would go walking with his Guru back in the day. Maharaja was in Cuba last year & initiated 4 bhaktas ( devotees ) during that trip.
