Ravi Shankar obituary

I say without hesitation that Ravi Shankar is one of the influences that led me to the deep practices of yoga.   When I was first exposed to it through the Beatles in my early childhood, the music appealed to me at a visceral level.  Throughout my late childhood and teens, I loved to dance or allow myself to go into a trance state listening to Indian music.  On reading of his leaving this body, I take a moment to honor Ravi Shankar.
