[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 187313, member: 138"] Lucky ji, Guru Fateh. Exactly the point I am trying to make. Yes, Yogi Bhajan did have a Sikhi look, as do Nirankari Sat Guru, Radasoami head, Nanaksar, Gobind Sadan and many others like them, and none of them have to do anything with Sikhi. Sikhi look is used as a selling brand. 3HO, The Sikh Dharma is just one more cult which has nothing to do with Sikhi but Sikhi identity is being exploited by them in their yoga sales. The same is true in the others. Do not consider yourself fortunate because you have not been peddled these brands. There is another reason behind it. The fact of the matter is that the products sold under [I]"The Golden Temple"[/I] brand do not belong to 3HO anymore. They have been sold to another company. Most of those "Sikhs" that Yogi Bhajan converted and managed to peddle these products cut their hair after his demise and hence went back to their original pre-Yogi look. There were lots of law suits that followed this ugly war. If you had been doing Yoga in one of these classes during Yogi's time, then you would have had been coerced to buy these products. The Yogi Chai brand name has lately been awarded by the judge to Bibi Inderjit Kaur Puri, late Yogi Bhajan's wife. There was a dispute on that too and she has sold its rights to General Mills, the food multinational. Our SGPC is very weak. No one should be allowed to sell any product under the brand of Golden Temple without giving royalty to the Sikh authority. The name should have been registered trademark of the Sikh community. It is the same thing as selling products under the name of The Vatican. That is not according to Sikhi but according to Hinduism. Many Sikhs do Yoga as an exercise. The judge in Arizona Oked its use in the Arizona schools as a form of exercise just a few weeks ago. No Sikh has any problem as long as Sikhi is not used as its sales pitch. On a side note, Bikram Choudhury, the founder of the Yoga Empire, [I]Bikram Yoga[/I] is being sued for sexual harassment. To put it mildly, exploitation at its best in the name of [I]Body, Mind & Soul.[/I] [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/27/us/bikram-yoga-founder-is-sued-by-former-student.html?_r=0[/url] Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
