heart's call

always when I see this picture in the hall, I have to think about the story of Savitramma and Patthabi Jois, how they met at a yoga demonstration at the Sanskrit College when she was fourteen and he eighteen. According to the story, she told her father "I want that man in marriage",- and when their horoscopes didn't match, she just tore up the horoscope, saying: "I don't care. Suitable or not, I want him."

The beauty of a strong heart...
They were married on her birthday, the fourth day after the full moon of June 1933 and stayed together their whole life.
