One Year Ago Today - May 18th, 2009
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, our beloved Guruji, breathed his final breath one year ago today.
In loving memory of him, and all he has contributed, both directly and indirectly, to all of our lives, we humbly bow and give our thanks.
If you missed reading last month's interview, please feel free to read it in memory of Guruji today.
