In Loving Memory of R. Sharath Jois

23 minutes

In this deeply reflective episode, Harmony pauses from her regular programming to honor the life and legacy of her teacher, Shri Sharath Joyce, who recently passed away. Harmony shares personal memories of her time with him in Mysore, detailing his gentle nature, passion for the natural world, and the profound way he brought their global yoga community together. She openly explores the complexities of grief, from sadness and confusion to joy and acceptance, while reminding listeners that love and connection transcend the physical world.

Harmony reads a powerful poem by Thich Nhat Hanh, capturing the impermanence of life and the eternal bond we share with those who have passed. Through this tribute, she offers listeners a comforting reminder: we are never truly alone, and the spirit of our loved ones lives on in the love we hold for them.
