YOGA AND THE 21st CENTURY

1. The Relevance of Traditional Teaching.

Question:
Do you think that the teaching you received from your father
is still relevant today, particularly in the West?

Desikachar:
It looks like it because,
wherever I speak, more and more people come,
and from all sorts of different backgrounds.
It is relevant, and it is going to be.
