Does anyone know what the "B.K.S." in "B.K.S. Iyengar" stands for? It seems like an appropriate addition to this entry. Mundek 00:14, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Somebody, please confirm if BKS is the younger brother-in-law of the grandfather of modern yoga Shri Krishnamacharya Yes, he is the brother-in-law of Sri T. Krishnamacharya -- refer to the following links: http://www.bksiyengar.com/modules/Guruji/guru.htm http://www.kofibusia.com/iyengar/iyengar05.html http://iyengar-yoga.com/bks/biography/

[edit] About Yoga

I think what BKS Iyengar teaches is Hatha Yoga, but in the article all I find is just word Yoga. Westerners confuse Hatha Yoga with Yoga. Yoga is general term for any method used for Union of soul with Brahman, While Hatha Yoga is just one such method, there are other Yoga's such as Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga etc.. can anyone correct article in these terms?
