LAX-BOS Oct 8

Being from LA, celeb sightings are routine, so I never thought I'd post on this thread. This one was, however, very interesting.

Older gentleman in traditional south asian garb sitting in the last row of F was getting a lot of attention. Then, upon arrival in Boston, there were a huge # of people waiting with flowers, signs, and looks of obvious serenity. A few at gate; most just past security. One large banner had a really big picture of this guy. I knew several people on the plane as we were all going to a meeting. We all enjoyed watching the spectacle at baggage claim.

Several days later there was a large article in the NY Times and it became clear: BKS Iyengar, yoga guru (not a metaphor), who was in from India on a big US book tour.
