Bharadvajasana -Pose dedicated to the sage Bharadvaja. It took Bharadvaja 3 lifetimes to realise that all the study in the world was of little value without applying the wisdom to daily life. Perhaps that is the message given by Sri Patthabi Jois to Do your practice and all is coming. The wisdom that the myth of Bharadvaja gives us is that when we find the source of our joy it is our duty to live it and share it with others. This doesnt mean that we need to try to convince others to be joyful, rather, if we live the lessons we have been taught, our example can inspire others to find that joy within themselves. Many people spend a lot of time doing something that makes them unhappy or focusing so hard on achieving a goal or accumulating things or knowledge, that they miss the whole point. This pose invites us to live our lives fully in a way that reflects the important lesson in Bharadvajas story : When we find our true lifes passion it will be fully expressed when we begin to share it with others. It is my privilege to share the gift of yoga with my wonderful students. Namaste.
