B.K.S. Iyengar's visit to China has underscored growing popularity of yoga here among young Chinese. On Tuesday, B.K.S. Iyengar held a yoga demonstration in Beijing, attended by more than 700 people. Photo: Ananth Krishnan - The Hindu.
On his first visit to China, renowned yoga guru B.K.S. Iyengar discovers a passionate response in a country where he has more than 30,000 followers. China, he says, “could overtake India in yoga”.
When B.K.S. Iyengar arrived in China last week on his first visit here, he did not know what to expect.
He had vaguely heard of Chinese interest in yoga, and expected, at most, mild curiosity about his work when he reached the far-away southern industrial city of Guangzhou, where the 93-year-old yoga guru was billed as the star attraction in China’s first ever “Yoga Summit”.
Mr. Iyengar, instead, arrived here to a passionate reception, and was left stunned by the wide interest in his teachings in a nation where he can now count more than 30,000 people as followers of his yoga philosophy.
“The response here,” Mr. Iyengar said, “has been unbelievable. I only came to realise after I came to China that even all my books have been translated and widely read.”
The like of Iyengar holds the Yoga Flag high, despite the onslaught by the half-bakes charlatans who bring disrepute to the great art & science of India, by falsely promising to cure all ailments including AIDS, Cancer and What Have You?
