[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 122122, member: 35"] According to my further searching "there is only one gurdwara in Mexico." This may be wrong, and it does not seem correct. After searching, things start to become a bit contradictory. There is an interesting article which does in fact report that religion and yoga are a dual focus of the sangat. Part of it is posted below. [COLOR=Blue]Futher searching indicated that the [/COLOR][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=Blue][SIZE=2]Shunia Yoga Life Center [/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=Blue]and the SikhCenter that I reported on above have different addresses. We can make the inference that kundalini and Yogi Bhajan are the connecting links, and that there must be more than one gurdwara/kundalini yoga center at this time. But the article explains why the yoga/Sikhi distinction is hard to draw in Mexico.
