If you know a guy who loves yoga, or who wants to improve his frame of reference about life in general, try gifting the popular book, Pilgrim of Love: The Life and Teachings of Swami Kripalu.

In the book, Swami Kripalu is known as Bapuji (meaning “dear father"). He is known in the western hemisphere as one of the greatest yoga practicers of the 20th century. He lived in the western state of Gujarat for most of his life, where he became known as more than just a practicer of yoga. He was a musician, a writer and an artist, and he traveled the world. 

Kripalu is the “complete package” when it comes to strong, fit man. He practiced “sahaj” or “spontaneous yoga. Many of his writings have been translated into English. His wisdom is valued, and by reading his book, you can begin to understand how yoga is a way of life, and it gives you a great foundation for understanding why it should be performed and practiced in daily life.
