Personally, I had the great opportunity to teach meditation at the Yoga Journal conference this past weekend, and I am constantly reminded of the mutual interdependence of meditation and yoga practice. They have both been of such benefit to me, and one of the great lions of the yoga world has passed.
Did you ever study with Pattabhi Jois (aka Guruji)? Do you practice yoga? Do you meditate? How have they influenced you?
I know something of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, as one of my main yoga teachers considers him a big influence, but if anyone has any remembrances or factual tidbits about the man, please post in the comments section.

I am sorry to know this.
I would love to know more about him, his teachings, way of life, philosophy, etc.as well as the benefits of his particular ashtanga yoga. Thank you....Christopher
Unfortunately, I never got to meet Pattabhi Jois. I bought a plane ticket and registered for class at the opening of the Islamorada Shala, but the event was cancelled due to health concerns. I lament never having met him, but my brother-in-law has spent (cumulatively) years with him, so I will have stories and those vicarious memories.
The Yoga World has lost a Great Soul this week.
We must now celebrate his life and give thanks for the knowledge he left us with.
GURUJI's spirit will live on in our practice.
