B. K. S. Iyengar
Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar (14 December 1918 – 20 August 2014), better known as B.K.S. Iyengar, was the founder of the style of yoga known as "Iyengar Yoga" and was considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world.〔Aubrey, Allison. "Light on life: B.K.S. Iyengar's Yoga insights". ''Morning Edition: National Public Radio'', 10 November 1995. ((full text) ) Retrieved 4 July 2007〕 He was the author of many books on yoga practice and philosophy including ''Light on Yoga'', ''Light on Pranayama'', ''Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali'', and ''Light on Life''. Iyengar was one of the earliest students of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who is often referred to as "the father of modern yoga". He has been credited with popularizing yoga, first in India and then around the world.
Iyengar was awarded the Padma Shri in 1991, the Padma Bhushan in 2002 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2014. In 2004, Iyengar was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by ''Time'' magazine.〔(2004 TIME 100 – B.K.S. Iyengar ) Heroes & Icons, TIME.〕
==Early years==
B.K.S. Iyengar was born into a poor Sri Vaishnava Iyengar family〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=B. K. S. Iyengar Biography )〕 (a priestly Brahmin caste)〔 at Bellur, Kolar District, Karnataka, India. He was the 11th of 13 children (10 of whom survived) of father Sri Krishnamachar, a school teacher, and mother Sheshamma. Iyengar's home village of Bellur, in Karnataka, was in the grip of the influenza pandemic at the time of his birth, leaving him sickly and weak. Throughout his childhood, he struggled with malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and general malnutrition. "My arms were thin, my legs were spindly, and my stomach protruded in an ungainly manner," he wrote. "My head used to hang down, and I had to lift it with great effort."
When he was five years old his family moved to Bangalore, and within four years his father died of appendicitis.〔
