Guruji'sVoice
800 of us sat cross-legged, hands in Anjali Mudra, or prayer position. Mr. Iyengar began the Invocation to Patanjali. His speaking voice is strong and resonant. But when he began to chant Om, I heard his voice quiver - a sign of his passing years. I felt very touched by his humanity, by the truth that nothing stays the same. Mr. Iyengar has said, "May my end be your beginning." This is by no means Mr. Iyengar's end, and may he live a very long life. But I felt honored to be witnessing the transmission of the lineage, from the master to all of us, his students.
