  YOGA  Entretiens sur la théorie et la pratique - T.K.V. Desikachar

Sri T.K.V. Desikachar est le Directeur responsable du Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram de Madras, qui porte le nom de son père, dont il est l’élève.

Krishnamacharya est un des grands gurus de notre époque. Au moment où paraît ce livre, il a 92 ans et vit à Madras, entouré du respect et de l’amour de ses proches. Peu d’hommes ont atteint un tel niveau d’érudition et d’expérience dans la pratique du Yoga. Son enseignement est fidèle à la tradition orale et a un caractère strictement initiatique.

Desikachar est le quatrième de ses six enfants et a reçu l'essentiel des connaissances et de l'expérience de son père. La forme de Yoga que Desikachar enseigne est non seulement d'une grande authenticité par rapport à la tradition et par rapport aux Écritures, mais son enseignement a surtout une caractéristique essentielle: il est à la portée et est utilisable par les Occidentaux.

La parution de ce premier livre en langue française est donc un événement en soi.

 
  What are we seeking- by TKV Desikachar with Martyn Neal
"What are we seeking?" is about a quest to understand the source of light within us. It is a quest to come in contact with the heart, which we seem to have got disconnected with. It is a quest for the human values that contribute to our peaceful living. It is a quest to reintegrate ourselves with our true nature. Masters like T Krishnamacharya, considered the greatest exponent of yoga in the last century and his son and student TKV Desikachar, have been so kind to synthesise their expertise in many of the Indian philosophies to show us a way to the heart. Drawing on the philosophies of Yoga, Vedanta, Samkhya and the core teachings of the Vedas, Desikachar, regarded today as an authority on yoga, has offered this book.
