homegoing is the purpose of my practice.
                     ~ peter matthiesen

B.K.S. Iyengar

Cremation

It nearly cancels my fear of death, my dearest said,

When I think of cremation. To rot in the earth

Is a loathsome end, but to roar up in flame ~ besides, I am used to it,

I have flamed with love or fury so often in my life,

No wonder my body is tired, no wonder it is dying.

We had a great joy of my body. Scatter the ashes.

                            ~Robinson Jeffers


Mr. I , as i lovingly call this flame of a man..
a brilliant luminosity ..the michelangelo of yoga ~
                died August 20th 2014

one of the finest and fullest masters of the art of living ~ yoga ~
his practice was his life..he always kept his inner fire burning bright..

"live before you die, so that death is also a lively celebration"
                                   B.K.S. Iyengar

may our practice..our sadhana..be samadhi in action..kaivalya !
liberating every moment our spark of divinity..
honoring our radiant teacher..our spiritual friend...our path..

the difference between a comedy and a tragedy 
is that in a comedy the characters figure out reality
in time to do something about it...

we are here 
and it is now -
further than that 
all human knowledge 
is moonshine.
      mencken

yoga practice..home sweet om!

remember the clear light, 

the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, 

to which everything in the universe returns; 

the original nature of your own mind. 

the natural state of the universe unmanifest. 

let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. 

it is your own true nature, 

it is home.

 ~ guru rinpoche..padmasambhava ~
