[QUOTE="Rory, post: 167347, member: 18138"] Waheguruji ka Khalsa, Waheguruji ki Fateh! [I][SIZE=1](You can skip these two paragraphs if you like, they're not so important in relation to the thread!)[/SIZE][/I] Hey everyone, I'm sure some have you have seen me around and you might already know that I'm an Irish singh who was born here and raised Catholic; I've had a really strong interest in Sikhi the past few months - what really triggered me to study was watching a documentary (it was about a bulk fruit/veg market in the UK, it was showcasing all the different cultures of people who came there etc., hard to explain) and in it there was a Sikh man who was in the market buying a load of (as far as I remember) bananas, to feed people at the Gurdwara. I found it really touching and it seemed so amazing, he was just a normal man who was doing his bit. He had a London accent and just seemed like a regular bloke who happened to be a Sikh, I just found it amazing when he explained Sikhs do this charity of letting homeless into their Gurdwara to feed them. He didn't seem like a fanatic or overly-religious, but here he was casually doing this charity work to help people. This is what made me look into Sikhi more and I was so surprised with what I found. - After researching Sikhi I was interested to know how many white people convert (seeing as I am white) to this religion, and the first article I came upon is this: [URL]http://www.rt.com/news/white-sikhs-foreigners-who-found-faith-in-sikhism/[/URL] It talks about the Miri Piri Academy and associated "Kundalini Yoga" or 3HO Sikhs. I'd just like to know your opinions of this 3HO group and Kundalini-Yoga/Sikhi-fusion? Personally I'm really glad I found out about Sikhi by my own research instead of hearing it through one of these groups, because I really don't like what they are teaching. I don't understand why a Sikh would practice yoga - "traditional" or Punjabi Sikhs do not practice kundalini-yoga, why is it that these Westerners (I know I am a Westerner myself!) have come and changed around Sikhi and infused yoga practice with Sikhi? Surely if kundalini-yoga was something necessary in Sikhi then traditional Sikhism would encourage it, but it doesn't, and from my research there's nothing in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji about kundalini-yoga; aren't the 3HO basically saying that by adding in this practice so religiously, that traditional Sikhi and the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are flawed? The above paragraph is my [I]opinion [/I]only, and I give it in the interest of giving this thread something to start off. [B]These might also be worth a read:[/B] [URL]http://www.rickross.com/reference/3ho/3hovisitor.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.mysticbanana.com/healthy-happy-holy-organization-and-real-sikhism-is-the-3ho-a-cult.html[/URL] [SIZE=1](read the comments)[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
