Project Alpha Season 2: NINIE AHMAD (Episode 37/49)
I ‘practice and all is coming’.
Exactly one year and two days ago, yogis all around the world mourned the passing of Ashtanga yoga patriarch Sri K. Pattabhi Jois upon hearing the news that Guruji left his body and a sea of magical practice legacy to mankind.
The songs used for this out-of-the-world inspiring Third Series practice YouTube from Santina (a renowned Fourth Series practitioner of Ashtanga Yoga),
..speak for me and I am sure thousand other Ashtangis to remember our Guruji.
I was never really a fan of Evanescence but after discovering this YouTube last year, ‘Bring Me To Life‘ was instantly added to my Ashtanga Yoga practice playlist and everytime ‘My Immortal‘ airs – I take a moment of silence in remembrance of Guruji..
In loving memory, lotus feet and profound gratitude to
Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois (July 26, 1915 – May 18, 2009)
Rest In Peace.
I maintain my health in this body as it is THE vehicle that contains my spirit, soul and wisdom to experience the wonderful short journey in this lifetime, on this earth – before I meet my Maker.
I forgive those who just don’t understand whilst,
most girls’ wish list & dreams are to have a walk-in wardrobe, another LV Speedy 25 and to have 3 kids & still have the body & style of Victoria Beckham,
and some boys’ work like no tomorrow to own VW Scirocco in Shadow Blue and to be financially independant to not have to work for someone else anymore,
.. MY short-term plan is to go to India further studying Ashtanga, Vedanta & Ayurveda, leaving no debts and no one depending on me back at home – hopefully before I hit 30,
and dare I say, my lifelong dream is to know exactly when I will leave my body and breathe my last breath – with no painful illness, no gory injury, absolute no hatred and no desire to want or feel anything anymore. Hopefully in a knowing sleep after having finished another round of chanting Holy Al’ Quran.
That is why everyday I wake up, everything I put in my body, every drop of sweat, every word I say to anyone, every affirmation I pray here – is heading to the way and to the dreams I live my life to realise.
So if my last day in this lifetime is tomorrow, I know I have no regret for I would have returned this body He lent me and have served Him with full responsibility.
God willing.
