Welcome back to On the Light. In today’s episode, Lee and I had the pleasure of talking with Neeta Datta. Neeta is one of the few people who was fortunate enough to be able to study with Guruji from a very young age. Her father began taking classes from Guruji in the 70s and encouraged her and her siblings to go to yoga classes. Neeta was a reluctant teenager who didn’t want to go, but as you will hear her say, from that very first class with Guruji, she was hooked. Neeta shares many memories of Guruji that speak to his kindness, sensitivity, and forward-thinking.
