NAMARUPA, Categories of Indian Thought, is a new journal that seeks to record, illustrate, honor and comment on the many systems of knowledge, practical and theoretical, that have originated in the Indian sub-continent. NAMARUPA presents articles that shed light on the incredible array of darshanas, yogas and vidyas that have evolved over thousands of years in India's creatively spiritual minds and hearts. See www.namarupa.org. Single copies of this issue will be available for purchase from Ashtanga.com later this month.

Film synopsis: On September 1, 2001, the master of Ashtanga yoga, Pattabhi "Guruji" Jois traveled to New York City with his family to teach a one-month workshop. Ashtanga students from all over the world gathered in lower Manhattan to attend his classes.
