Date of birth

(full moon was on/around 26 July:may be not exact) What do you think of saying "about 26 July"? - Kevin Saff 21:31, 12 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather be certain. I will ask some people on what day Pattabhi Jois celebrates his birthday, as this should settle the issue. Note that this can take some time. Wilke 03:01, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Surprisingly (at least for a westerner), Pattabhi Jois celebrates his birthday on the first full moon of July, on whatever day that happens to be. Wilke 22:45, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

To give a current western Gregorian calendrical date for the birth Sri K. Pattabhi Jois is incorrect since they use a lunar calendar in Karnataka. It's probably most accurate to say that Sri K. Pattabhi Jois was born on the full moon of the lunar month known as Ashadh (July-August) . This particular full moon is also a festival day known as Guru Purnima, during which spiritual teachers are honored. - Souljerky

Death

With sadness in my heart, he left this earth today --90.227.133.6 (talk) 14:58, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Age

He was an inspiration to all... I just wonder, if he died this week (2009 before his birthday) and was born in 1915, should he not be 95 instead of 93? -- Dorien —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.225.53.233 (talk) 08:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Besides the cited book (which I don't have access to), there have been a number of obituaries in various publications, which are usable as sources for improving the article. I've left them as external links, but it would be great if someone read them and rewrote the article instead of simply vanishing them as "link spam".
