I first met Giris when I went to the Sivananda Yoga Centre, Notting Hill in 1982. I have many memories of Giris and his voice resonating throughout the building...hey man...! I had just moved to London to start a new life and I’ve always been grateful for the kindness Giris showed me with his huge heart at that time. And, like everyone will say that he challenged us to give more, and do better. I will miss your wise soul, laughter and love for everyone. I thought it was special that you died during Diwali, the festival of light to which you always gave the light, love and laughter throughout your life. Thank you for being there, may you rest in peace. Love, Josie (Radhika) Om, Om...
