Pieter, I have great respect for Sikhism. I was born in Punjab, the

birthplace of Sikhism. The Sikh Gurus are our Gurus. My grandmother was from

a Sikh family. At we have always shown respect for people of

every religion including Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Christianity, Jainism,

Judaism and all other spiritual traditions. Everyone is welcomed with open

arms and is embraced as a brother or a sister. Jerry's original comments on

attempted to inform the group about a certain point of view.

It just happens that the teacher is Sikh. I read over Jerry's post again and

there is nothing negative there about Sikhism or the Sikh Dharma. Similar

comments have been made in the past about other teachers who happened to be

Hindus or Buddhists or others. Observations about teachers made by people do

not imply that anything negative is being said about the religion itself.

 

I have a deep admiration of you Pieter and I find your relationship with

Yogi Bhajan to be beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing it. It is

clear that Yogi Bhajan has had an immense positive impact on the Kundalini

Yoga community. Many of the people I have come to know through the internet

lists who belong to 3HO are positive, wonderful, and bright people.

Although I have no personal knowledge about this controversy we must respect

the rights of people to express their views and opinions without being

labeled as anti-Hindus or anti-Buddhists or anti-Sikhs. In a free society,

the exchange of information, ideas, and views is critical for a healthy

evolution. We can still love and respect each other while holding diverse

views.

 

It is the nature of the mind to see differences. It is the nature of the

Heart to Know Oneness. May our mind merge in the Heart and reveal our

Eternal Self-Nature.

 

Love to all

Harsha

[NDS] Some links people may want to look at while considering

Dear Harsha and Jerry,

 

As long as my experience is being used as a link to vilify Yogi Bhajan, the

3HO community and the Sikh Dharma Brotherhood in general, here are some

other more elevating links I found for people to look at, while considering

the pockross website
