She needs to learn the art of interviewing WITHOUT interruption, the ability to coax information from the subject without fracturing the flow. I already knew most of the basic information, but the little details from Sharath are most interesting -- and this is where she opens her mouth far too often. I was told by my grandfather: "One can never learn something new with your mouth open."

[@cliffpakiry4413]

She is doing her best be nices.

[@FGalea]

agree!

[@SDW3-6-9]

Jeez! what a lost opportunity. Sharathji tries to demystify the origins of a subtle, sophisticated tradition perfected over millenia..she indulges herself smugly 😭 The lady is behaving like a bogan at a Barbi with verbal diarrhoea. Conversationus interruptus all the way. Pity. Nathamuni, Guru Brahmachari, Krishnamacharyaji, Guru Pattabhi jois ji and Sharathji. koti koti pranam 🙏🙏🙏

[@LaoZi2023]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@nikkiespinosa8772]

Annoying actually! What’s the point of her interviewing Sharat if she APPARENTLY knew everything already?

[@tejasl8333]

She was not letting him finish what he wants to say..

[@nirmithaj.8598]

Glad you shared this interview but please never again interrupt when wisdom is getting shared...and get involved with the speaker then you can pronounce the names .. it’s never blah blah ...

[@offenback69]

Wow! I wish Sharath would not speak at all so I could listen to the interviewer. She literally finished all his sentences.

[@manojsn6079]

I belongs to Hassan , really I didn’t knew this information that krishnamacharya was been in Hassan really we feel proud 🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@raskolnjikov1]

I bet Sharath was thinking the entire time "do you wanna tell the story biatch?" He should be awarded a medal for not punching her straight in the throat xD

[@FGalea]

💪

[@nivespirija4004]

That is why he meditates and does yoga 😂

[@irynalymar2567]

If only she didn’t interrupt him so many times ...

[@robmcafe]

nice bloke great to see all that learning running through his veins in such a positive way

[@ginolioo76]

Is not possible undertand the line of the story because she doesn´t let him with ancious interruptions...

[@niranjanprabhu]

If we read Desikachar's book, he says Ramamohana Brahmachari lived near Mount Kailash in the caves there. Surprising to see so much of variation in these details

[@amith0tube]

Yup puzzling indeed

[@dancingbearb1392]

it is not variation, Sharath is not identifying the place beyond referring to it in the Himalayas. They are both correct.

[@SDW3-6-9]

She actually asked "He lived in the trees?"😀

[@YogaVideothek]

This interview is very interesting. I learned a lot again about yoga. I would like to clarify one point. Astanga Yoga is the basis of Yinyasa krama. If Anstanga Yoga means the Yoga Sutras of Paranjali then yes. Otherwise it is more the Yoga Korunta and the knowledge of Krishnamacharya.

[@ganesh3339]

Thanks Bharat for insight. Guru of krishnamachari was Rama mohana bhramachari

[@flygloria]

what stupid questions from this woman - and why don't you let him finish his sentences????

[@skhalanekar]

Very nice information Thank you

[@heathcostantine3056]

awesome story Sharath, Thank you

[@vasukinagabhushan]

Patanjali is the originator of Yoga Darshana or Philosophy.

[@mouneshpatil6981]

Karnataka 💚

[@YogaVideothek]

Krishnamachariya: At first I thought the story couldn't be true. The tree line is at 2100 meters in the north, but at the equator it can also be at 4400 meters or 14435 feet. It was probably in Tibet at Lake Manasavora at 4580 meters, today on the Chinese side? These 7.5 years between 1915 and 1922. At the end of 1922 he went back to Mysore.

[@mehlisah]

I want to know the 7 questions he asked

[@manivelan9672]

Why this lady talks so much? If is annoying..

[@panshanita879]

interesting!

[@wellnessinfinity]

Oh gosh she is disturbing him so much

[@fernandom.tavares3551]

Es mejor que le pregunten esas cosas a kaustub desikachar, el nieto de t krisbnamacharya,

[@tattvadarshee3546]

Subtitles are disaster.......

[@ricardinalasker7308]

Doesn’t let him finish, his sentences like he doesn’t speak English or need a translator.

[@isidorapazvillalobosvillal3031]

she is such a bad interviewer

[@MegaDonkey10]

Oh she should be quiet and learn wisdom

[@sauravverma8711]

Don't call him Krishnamachrya... Call him Mr. Krishnamachrya..

[@emenage]

This woman is very annoying..

[@dk4ish]

Lady is messing up what he has to say. So annoying!

[@LaoZi2023]

Terrible interviewing. Great to hear Shri Sharath speak, but Sonia, please let the person speak. Ask questions, do not try to speak for the person.

[@bsnsbsmsb5233]

who is this karen she should let the man speak his wisdom

[@DifferentRides]

Only an American to ruin what could have been a great interview...

[@mandylee2898]

Sonia Jones is very pretty. Sharath is wholly beautiful

[@peachtreecorners7354]

Her behavior is very disrespectful.
