Almost 35 years ago I walked into the Sivananda Centre in London not knowing anything about Yoga or Hindu culture. I started meditation with Giris went on to do all the other Yoga classes. I became totally inspired. I went to the Centre everyday, even lived there for a while, often started 5am for Satsang, helped out with different jobs, always supported and encouraged by Giris. We went on a spiritual workshop in Ireland 1986 and that is when I realised I was at the beginning of a spiritual journey, the same I am on today. All through the years Giris has guided me, he became my Guru, the light that showed me the way. His dedication, support and patience is my whole experience. Without him I would not be who or what I am today. I owe him my Faith and my complete devotion. He will live in my heart forever. I feel lost without him but I know he's still guiding me. May you rest in Peace my dearest friend OM SHANTI Anita
