I am guessing that the year is 2014!
A great man who brought yoga to the modern world. My mother got me his book and presented it to me for my 12th birthday so I could read something constructive!

Yes, saw this on the BBC news last night which give some idea of the man's stature. I have never done any form of yoga, but he looked strong, supple, balanced and relaxed and lived to a ripe old age. And of course, yoga is great for linking up with hot sweaty chicks, so I tip my hat.

I am sure that, as we speak, he is twisting disciples into pretzels in the Hindi hereafter.
