Sai Baba is the biggest conman of all.

To broadcast opinions on BKS Iyengar is wise when you studied at least one of his books, let's say "Light on Yoga"; broadcasting uninformed opinions on quite delicate subjects shows only ignorance and ego-centerism, I would like to encourage other readers of this note to take BKS Iyengar most seriously...

I agree.I´m also a westerner and I have been in India for a long time, but I did not have the chance to meet Iyengar in Pune.You know the Tree by the fruit it bears.Honestly, Iyengar is honest in his approach to Yoga and you can read Tree of Yoga to understand it.Tree of Yoga is one of the most wonderful books about Yoga, ever made.He is teaching a pratical Yoga, The Yoga teached by him, is accessible for anyone, everyone.

don't be silly, even western medicine has finally come to terms regarding the benefits of yoga practice. I am not sure how this guy could be a fraud? Is he asking you to worship him? If you want a fraud, try Sai Baba.

I have read his introduction to his book Light on Yoga and I don't sense a fraud here. This man has been practicing what he preaches for longer than most of us have been walking this planet.As a westerner I started a yoga practice 2 years ago and find it very beneficial, one of the best things I could have done.

I am an Indian by origin. Most of these Indian spiritual gurus are frauds. The ones who attract westerners and make money are 110% frauds. Yoga is good for flexibilty but it ends there. The advanced yoga postures are extremely dangerous and have driven a few people insane. This may explain why BKS looks edgy. Basic yoga is good for flexibilty but doing the headstand is a very bad idea as it interfers with the body's natural harmony and balance.
