Kundalini Yoga And Yogi Bhajan

Recommended Posts

Hello dear friends! My name is Paul, i`m from Russia. I do my research on Yogi Bhajan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbhajan_Singh_Yogi

) and would like to hear from authentic sikhs their opinion on this man and the legend behind him.

So may I just put some questions here:

1. Is there any real parampara, is there any chance to know not from 3ho books about Sant Hazara Singh or any other teacher that Yogi Bhajan claim to have

2. Karam Kriya (numerology), SatNam Rasayan (healing) and white tantra are invented by Yogi Bhajan?

3. Is it possible to get such name Siri Singh Sahib is sikh tradition?

4. Are sikhs ok with sikhism as taught by Yogi Bhajan? (mantras, yoga, 3ho gurudwara, white color clothes..)

5. From the book of dr. Trilochan Singh Sikhism and Tantric Yoga a found that sikh gurus are against all yogic practices, is there a chance to find such strokes it in scriptures?

6. Is it true that son of GuruNanak Dev, Baba Shri Chand, was a yogin which rejected fathers path, but one day gave his blessings to GuruRam Das?

Thank you all and blessings

Please share your knowledge or send some links on that subject

There are plenty of topics and threads where all of these questions have been discussed.

I think you should give your opinion if you want some healthy discussion.

The main problem is that a lot of people seem to mix kundalini yoga and 3ho as a part or core of Sikhism. No one actually says that ''If you want to be a Sikh, then do it our way the 3ho or kundalini way''

As far as Yogi Bhajan is concerned, I can't be critical or be slating him because he is not here to defend himself and I never actually met him.

with reference to your questions above -

1. Is there any real parampara, is there any chance to know not from 3ho books about Sant Hazara Singh or any other teacher that Yogi Bhajan claim to have

2. Karam Kriya (numerology), SatNam Rasayan (healing) and white tantra are invented by Yogi Bhajan?

3. Is it possible to get such name Siri Singh Sahib is sikh tradition?

4. Are sikhs ok with sikhism as taught by Yogi Bhajan? (mantras, yoga, 3ho gurudwara, white color clothes..)

5. From the book of dr. Trilochan Singh Sikhism and Tantric Yoga a found that sikh gurus are against all yogic practices, is there a chance to find such strokes it in scriptures?

6. Is it true that son of GuruNanak Dev, Baba Shri Chand, was a yogin which rejected fathers path, but one day gave his blessings to GuruRam Das?

1- No, I don't think so. But then again very few people of those times had work that was published !

2- No, they are not invented by him but maybe the methods he used were adapted in his own manner.

3- Not as far as I know. There is nothing official about Siri Sahib being given as a title.

4- Wrong question, because I don't think he tried to teach his own version of Sikhism. He used gurbani as mantras instead of the Vedic mantras that were in traditional yoga.

5- You should read gurbani and especially Sidh Gosht. From this you should find that Guru Nanak Devji had a lengthy discussion with some yogis but he did NOT ever once claim they were not enlightened, instead he gave the idea and suggestions that they don't have to be recluse and hiding away from society to find the God within us.

Yes, there are many references to claiming blind rituals and practices of yogis, but there is never any suggestion that they are all pakhandis or very far away from God.

And I don't for a minute think that other Gurus rejected yoga completely because Guru Arjan Dev ji gave us the example of How real Yoga should be really practiced ???

Answer- By sitting on a tatthi tavi or hot plate is the real yoga pose !!!

6- not too sure about this story but I don't think that he could have blessed Guru Ram Das ji.

Paul yoga has its pro's but "Door to liberation" (Tenth gate) or Mokh Duar cannot be obtained by self effort.

Dasam duar can only open through Waheguru's grace.

Harbhajan Singh Puri was an extra ordinary leader, yogi & bureaucrat who made big impact in lives of Americans.

I was told by an acquaintance that Yogi Bhajan was a follower or associate of

<banned site filter activated>

Eventually they parted ways.

in my point of view sikhi and yoga are different aspects ..both these things have nothing to do with each other...yes as a sikh you can do yoga as same as like you do brush everyday and many other regular activities as you do in a day..but whoever makes any relation of sikhi with yoga or yoga with sikhi will really be a purest form of IGONORANT GUY OR GIRL

YOGA- means UNION or Unite with God or the supreme conscious.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with yoga it is just the methods that can be misleading as stated above by singhbj. Because any forced yoga moves or mantras will not open or awaken your dasam duar or kundalini.

Therefore Sukiji, it is incorrect to say that yogahas nothing to do with Sikhism. It is just soe methods of the yoga that the Gurus highlighted and questioned.

Yoga is good for your general well being. I can't see how it can make you more devoted to waheguru alone.

However, this is where the yogi incorporated gurbani into it as mantras and kriyas.

But a non-Sikh does not become a Sikh just by doing kundalini yoga and neither does one become a better Sikh by doing that alone.

Once you understand this, then maybe you could try yoga and see for yourself !!!

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
