The Yoga Makaranda
Namaskaram the online publication of the Independent Yoga Network kindly asked me to review Sri T. Krishnamacharyam’s 1934 publication that has been recently translated. Anyone who knows of Krishnamacharya will know him as one of the most influential contemporary Yoga masters. Along with Swami Sivananda, Paramahamsa Satyananda, Muktananda, Satchidananda, Yogi Bhajan and others he has defined the roots of contemporary yogic practice. Krishanamacharya was the teacher of: B.K.S. Iyengar of Iyengar Yoga, Srivatsa Ramaswami, Indra Devi, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of the Ashtanga Vinyasa line, T.K.V. Desikachar who founded the former Viniyoga school and who is th eholder of the lineage through the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai.
Sri Krishnamacharya is certainly a man to study, a man to listen to in his flow of teachings. A book such as this has to be read and studied by any ardent teacher or student of contemporary Yoga.
You can find the review here.
With thanks to Lakshmi Ranganathan and Nandini Ranganathan for their work of translation and for making this book available. You can download the Yoga Makranda here.
