 Welcome to May's newsletter!
There are many different yogic paths, and various schools of yoga differ in their methods, yet ultimately, all yoga has the same goal : to liberate us from ignorance.
The fundamental questions at the basis of human life are "Who am I? " and also," What is the purpose of my life?"
The Evolution Conference at the Hong Kong Convention Centre, June 1 - 4, will bring together a wide variety of yoga teachers. Of particular interest to me is the series of talks given by renowned yoga masters. I look forward to listening to their perspectives on yoga study. I hope that many students from our centre will be able to attend this event.

 Words of Wisdom |
|
Guruji BKS Iyengar |
| "There are five main afflictions (kleshas). The first of them (ignorance) is the father of the other four...To Hindus, the archenemy is a state of not knowing. What don't we know when we are ignorant?
"The answer is this: You don't know what is real and what is not real. You don't know what is enduring and what is perishable. You don't know who you are and who you are not. Your whole world is upside down because you take the artifacts in your living room to be more real than the unity that connects us all, more real than the relations and obligations that unite us all.
"Perceiving the links and associations that bind the cosmos in a seamless whole is the object of yoga's journey of discovery."
