Episode 5: An Underprivileged Yogacharya - Prashant Iyengar
Thank you all for listening. I can’t tell you how overwhelming it is for me to see that people from all over the world are listening … but of course, considering the person we are speaking of, that is how it should be. I consider myself very fortunate to be in this position bringing these interviews to you.
These interviews with Prashant, like the one you’re going to hear today, started a year ago in March 2023. I am presenting them to you in the order that they were taken. The one you will hear today was given on July 30, 2023. When I started the interviews I didn’t know how I would use them. I was thinking maybe a documentary would come out of them, or maybe a podcast. It was after this interview that I decided on a podcast and I sort of sat on that idea for a while. Then at the end of 2023 I told Prashantji that I wanted to start a podcast and he gave me his blessing.
In our conversation today, Prashant begins by addressing a question I posed to him about metaphysics. And then he goes on to tell Lee and I about how it came about that Guruji would be turning out teachers. Listen and hear why Prashant tells us why he says that Guruji was an underprivileged yogacharya.
