[edit] Source

The Source for the Depak Chopra quote I believe, is from his "The Peaceful Warrior" series: Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and the Path of the Peaceful Warrior. Namaste. Sephiroth storm 08:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] photo credit?

since when do photos in wikipedia have the names of the photographers under them? Next you'll sign articles with your name???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.85.68.231 (talk) 10:14, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Literal Meaning

Is "I bow to you" really the literal meaning? The word "nama" is "greeting", no?

[edit] Spurious attribution to Deepak Chopra

The article reads: "I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me." -- attributed to author Deepak Chopra

This interpretation predates Deepak Chopra for sure, and more than one yoga teacher has told me it's a B.K.S. Iyengar quote, which frankly makes a lot more sense (which isn't evidence so I'm leaving the article as is). Please, someone-out-there-with-the-correct-reference-material: refute this attribution and correct the article! Thanks, and Namasté! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.85.6.3 (talk) 20:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
