19th August 2022 उपभोगशून्य स्वामी! I just finished watching Naveenchandra Hegde’s (Guruji to us) one hour long conversation with Major Poonia on YouTube. It was enchanting to watch two extremely fit individuals exchange thoughts about fitness, philosophy and giving back to society. Both had unique styles of speaking our national language. Guruji, a Kannadiga by birth and upbringing, had a lilting accent while the Haryanvi Major spoke with a robust Punjabi twang. Major Poonia proved to be a very good host as he gave ample time to Guruji to share his thoughts. The questions were perceptive and unobtrusive while the answers were delightfully frank and to the point. Most individuals have a memorable childhood and Guruji was no exception. He got exposed to sports very early in his childhood and perhaps this ignited the spark to be associated with some kind of physical activity later in his life. The story of his efforts to save 5 paise was fascinating. Guruji’s journey from his school days
