Krishna Kaur
A finales de abril asistí a la conferencia "Yoga para Jóvenes" impartida por Krishna Kaur. Entusiasmada por las interesantes anécdotas compartidas, un par de años atrás, por mi querido Siri Ram Singh, sabía entonces que no debía perderme semejante oportunidad.
Increiblemente bella, fueron sus palabras y ahora sé que no se equivoca. Agregaría -como si fuese necesario- que me impactaron muchísimo su vitalidad, compasión, humanismo, calidez, sentido del humor, fuerza, inspiración... una hermosa mujer con una energía amorosa como pocas.
Así que con gran beneplácito me entero que Krishna ha sido galardonada con el premio Malcom-X, les comparto la nota de Sikh Net News ;)
