Pt Nehru, the yogi
June 18, 2015 13:37
A rare picture of Pandit Nehru doing yoga. This is what what he wrote on the shirasana.
"Among my exercises one please me particularly -- the shiorshasana, standing on the head with the palms of the hands, fingers interlocked, supporting the back of the head, elbows on the floor, body vertical, upside down. I suppose physically this exercise is very good; I liked it even more for its psychological effects on me. The slightly comic position increased my good humour and made me a little more tolerant of life's vagaries."
