Back in December 1998 the International Iyengar Yoga community gathered in Pune, India to celebrate B.K.S Iyengar’s 80th birthday. On this auspicious occasion ‘Yogadhara’ – “the flow of yoga” was published in book form with many articles, pictures, and poems including Happy Thanksgiving by Kajal Mehta written below

“Your very special qualities

Make their mark up on the word.

You are inventive in your ways –

Knowing how to cure,

This is how you are.

No one will ever see you

As just one of the flock,

You are as unique

As a new fallen snowflake

And a delight to be around.

May your Thanksgiving be joyous

And your life’s harvest bountiful

As we acknowledge our blessings

During this yoga season

And throughout the coming year.”
