"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and beheld, service was joy.
Rabindranath TagoreJuly 1915 - May 2009
Upon someone's death we are reminded of how much they meant to us, all they contributed to our lives and the love we feel for them. Guruji meant so much to so many - whether you ever spent time with him or not. It has been my honor to have known him and I am forever grateful for his gift to all of us.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is an ancient system of yoga passed down from Sri T. Krishnamacharya to Sri K. Pattabhi Jois beginning in 1927. Guruji was responsible for Ashtanga's transmission to the west. His grandson, Sharath Rangaswamy, is now the director of the Shri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India.
