I have been studying Iyengar Yoga for 3 years and am still enjoying it thoroughly. I always remember your inspiring maxim 'in every pose there is repose' every time I do adho mukha svanasana (one of, for me, the hardest postures)!! I would like to wish you MANY HAPPY RETURNS on your birthday. May your 82nd year bring you happiness and tranquility. Best wishes from a distant student. Emma. |

Happy Birthday, Guruji ! Every day I think or you, because, every day, I mention your name in my classes, trying to pass to my fellow students what I have understood from your teachings. Every day I think of you, because, even if the last time I have participated in a stage given by you was for your 75th birthday, some instructions you have given then -and before- still come in my understanding only now. (This make me think it is the beauty -and the apparent difficulty- to be a parent or a teacher that we can not see "on the spot" the fruits -good or bad- of our efforts in trying to help our human brothers to grow and that we have to search confidence to be in the wright path in the practice and the sincerity) Every day I think of you, because every day I am grateful to you and your guidance.And today, from the depth or my heart, I am happy to thank YOU. Be happy, guruji, with all living beings! Jean Lechim |

Dear Mr. Iyengar: Many blessings on your birthday. I have just started 7 months ago, and my life has changed from it. I am a leading Homeopath in the world and have a practice, teach and am writing my 3rd textbook. The yoga is like a Homeopathic remedy; there is a softening of my spirit, my body does not tense like it used to and my heart is opening. I practice everyday and attend classes and just attended a weekend with Manuso Manos in Los Angeles. I find it very hard, but that does not matter. This is a chance to wish you a happy birthday and a thank you for helping millions of people in the world. Thank you. Nameste, Ananda Zaren |

"Happy Birthday" is just not enough The treasures you have brought this world cannot be held in words alone. For how does one speak of the brilliance of light that dispels all darkness? The understanding you have brought us all cannot be measured, for how does one measure the heart of hearts? As wide and deep as the ocean, my gratitude for the illumination you have brought knows no bounds. I continue to practice the Iyengar way, inspired by a man that has just turned 82 years of age and who knows not the meaning of limitation but rather teaches us to stretch, to stretch our bodies, to stretch our minds, our hearts, our very Souls. Thankyou for sharing yourself with us and wishing you the Happiest of Birthdays. With love Heidi*** |

Aloha Guruji! We send you our congratulations on your 82nd birthday. We are writing this on December 14, so are truly thinking of you on your special day. You have meant so much to us over the 25+ years we've studied in Pasadena, California, with Bonnie Anthony, primarily. Mary Dunn, Felicity Green, Francie Ricks, have also been very instrumental in helping us develop our practice and philosophy. And many other senior and junior teachers along our paths have also encouraged us. All of these people are definitely a result of your training and are highly respected in the United States. Six years ago we moved to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, where Aadil is the primary visiting teacher who instructs the teachers here. Jan Roberts is the only certified local teacher. Darina Archer, who used to be a certified Iyengar teacher and no longer lives here, started the local center 11 years ago. Mary Obendorff and Eddy Marks, and John Leebold come here as well as Mary and Felicity too. We are definitely blessed here in Hawaii Island as people love to visit here and teach some classes. Sometimes we go to Honolulu, Oahu Island, to the Center there to study with other visiting and local teachers (such as Ajea, Sandra Jordan, and Glenn Kawana as well. May your health stay strong and you stay well for many more years to come. You have been a beacon to us and we'll always be indebted to you and your wisdom. We are now 65 and think we'd be old and achy, physically and spiritually, if we hadn't come upon Bonnie and your guidance. Hau'oli la hanau (Happy Birthday) to you!
