[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 187562, member: 18224"] I think we are getting off topic a bit, as the OP was about kundalini yoga, not specific translations of things that Yogi Bhajan 'may have gotten right' The fact remains that 3HO as an organization has shaped how the average American (and even Canadian) think of Sikhism, and this is damaging since it's not an accurate picture of what the Sikh faith is. We don't all wear all white, all the time. We don't all bring yoga mats to the Gurudwara and start doing breathing exercises and fold ourselves into pretzels in the diwan halls. But this is how Sikhi is perceived by MANY people in NA. We need to separate kundalini yoga from the Sikh faith. I don't have anything against yoga as I said, but kundalini yoga is a spiritual path in its own right and it is NOT Sikhism! Why would any Sikh even want or need kundalini yoga anyway? They are two different paths that I cant see how they could merge. Yogi Bhajan is a different story. From everything I have read online, his followers actually revered him more than the Sikh Gurus. There are stories from ex-3HO members saying how they would be in the middle of kirtan or even worse Ardas etc, and stop in the middle, so that Yogi Bhajan could be broadcast over the speakers. It was like his word was as God's. As I said 3HO Gurudwaras still have photos of him above the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and if the photo is not, the members still bow to him as they do Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The fact that he may or may not have gotten a few lines in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji correct is inconsequential. The position in which he was viewed by 3HO members and still is, suggests 'cult' in my mind. The fact that kundalini yoga classes cost money to 3HO members, and it is implied that you need to keep forking over money for more classes to advance spiritually, also suggests 'cult' to my mind. Putting the organization's leader over Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and the Sikh Gurus to me suggests 'cult'. I have nothing against 3HO members but they are more 'yogi' than Sikh. And I realize tha vast majority of white Sikhs are 3HO members... and that I am caucasion myself... I have been on more than one ocassion when I mention I am Sikh, I am often asked questions about kundalini yoga... then I have to explain the difference. Don't even get me started on the cult 'Eckankar'... LOL [/QUOTE]
