The reason why I asked is because Ilinked the following essay:

....and I was threatened with a ban by that site?

What is going on?

Probably Yogi Bhajan supporters feeling offended about their cult leader who tell them to practice Kundalini yoga, not to eat meat, to wear all white, and practice his made up White Tantric Yoga.

I don;t mean to offend anyone, but anyone with the name "Siri Singh Sahib Habhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji" arouses suspicion in my mind...

It's not about meat....it's about the general attitude and intolerance there......and 3 main groups seem to espouse intolerance there 1) AKJ, 2) 3HO and 3) GNNSJ.

I have noticed it change over time.....it doesn't represent the spirit of Sikhi anymore!

Honestly speaking sikhsangat is quite an intolerant site with lot of fanatics.I have seen many people visit sikhsangat for seeking advice like they want to marry their sikh girlfriend
and they were immidiately attacked by members for having a girlfriend and how is it not allowed in sikhism to have girlfriend.

due to intolerance of members i now rarely post on that site.

sherab you are confusing sikhnet with sikhsangat.sikhnet.com is controlled by 3ho
while sikhsangat is mainly concerned with khalistan.i don't think that any of sikhs on sikhsangat are 3ho

I have noticed that.

There was a time when it was a very mature site.......I am saddened that sites that our Sikh youth look to for answers have been taken over by such people....

....there are good people there I think like Balait Da Sher etc but I think they have been surpased by people from some groups like GNNSJ who seem to have a cult like influence in the UK and the AKJ which seems to have lost its way totally!

I am aware - Yogi Bhajan has helped som ppl get rlly interested in Sikhism, but i do not like him... I am more of a Khalistan supporter, however - but not to the extent of sikhsangat.com, I like to think I combine both views, really.

If i am not wrong due to dispute sikhsangat was divided and another forum which looks like carbon copy of sikhsangat www.forums.waheguroo.com was created.these 2 sites looks carbon copy of each other.

alas....I think they will divide further.....this sums up the very worrying trend of Sikhs splitting.....
