Dear Yoga Family,
I am writing to share the incredible legacy left by my mother, Swami Sarasvati, who passed away on Monday. While we mourn her loss, we are also filled with an immense gratitude for all that she achieved during her time with us.
A beloved Yogi, and one of the first to bring Yoga to Australia, she inspired and guided so many of us, and she will continue to live on through her students, her teachings, and the many lives she touched.
The positive seeds that my mother planted through her teachings have grown into a beautiful forest of strong and resilient Yoga trees, each one bearing the fruits of a healthy, balanced, and joyful life and are spreading their seeds too.
My mother had a unique talent for making Yoga simple and accessible to all. ‘So long as you can breathe, you can do Yoga.' Further, her philosophy is that Yoga is not about the poses, but rather it is a way of life. Her teachings helped the lives of countless individuals, and we are forever grateful for the way she brought the transformative practice of Yoga into our lives.
While we will miss her deeply, we take comfort in the knowledge that her spirit will always be with us.
Please join us in farewelling Swami at Castlebrook Memorial Park, Rouse Hill at 10am on Saturday 1 April for the Hindu ceremony.
As we reflect on her life and the impact she made, we ask that you join us in celebrating her legacy by practicing Yoga in her honour. We encourage you to share stories and memories of her teachings, and to continue spreading the joy and benefits of Yoga to others.
We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have already received. Thank you!
Namaste
Sanjay
