I will make this post short because I just arrived home (11pm) from the Shraddhanjali and dinner with Chris and Cristy, who dropped in for a two day Pune visit along their travels.<\/p>\n

Below, five of us catch a ride in a mini van to the Shraddhanjali, a tribute to end the one year mourning of Guruji’s death. From left to right – our driver, Cristy, Chris, Juan (Spain), Umi and the camera wielding me.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Below, Abhijata (Guruji’s granddaughter) speaks of memories of her times with Guruji.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Below, Geetaji (Guruji’s daughter) talks about the continuing obligations of Iyengar yoga practitioners. That’s Raya fixing Geetaji’s seat and positioning. Raya played a key role in my shoulder surgery in 2013, as did Abhijata.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Selfie of my friend, Winnie (lives in DC) and me after the ceremony. Winnie was here in 2013, and she travels to attend Manouso workshops in SF, LA & SD so she’s no stranger to me.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the morning guard for the Institute. He was dressed to greet and guard at the entrance of the ceremony and was happy to pose for me.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When we got dropped off at the Institute after the ceremony I showed the afternoon\/evening guard the photo I took of the other guard (above). He immediately ran and got his hat and asked me to take his photo. I told him to\u00a0go to the monument so I could take his photo there. Notice his feet. This is the same guard who told us “no shoes” when we took the photos there yesterday. I let it slide. I’m definitely not looking for problems…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the ceremony, Chris, Cristy and I went to South Indies for dinner. This is a more upscale restaurant just around the corner from the Institute. This is the main course. There were several servings of “starters” before this plate arrived and I was stuffed!\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a lot more photos from the day I spent with Chris and Cristy I’ll share tomorrow and over the weekend. I got up early this morning to attend Prashant’s 7am class (which was wonderful), then Nana picked me up at 10:30. Nana and I went for a chai and before we picked C&C up at 11. It’s been a long day for me and I feel like I’m coming down with a sore throat … again.<\/p>\n

G’nite!<\/p>\n
