Yoga

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

My name is Jeremy Frost. I am relatively new to the list and I was wondering

if Kundalini Yoga is indeed Yogi Bhajan's creation or did he bring it out of

secret practice like he says? Keep in mind it matters very little to me

whether he created it by synthesizing other yoga methods he had learned or

if in fact he just brought Kundalini Yoga practice out in the open. The

reason I ask this is because I have known instances where teachers (some

are quite knowledgable too) lie to embellish the background of the system

they created to make it seem like said system is hundreds or thousands of

years old pretty much because they think that their system won't be taken

seriously unless it has a few hundred years of mysticism surrounding it. Are

there any records (of any type) of Kundalini Yoga practice which predate

Yogi Bhajan? Who were Yogi Bhajan's teachers? I am just slightly skeptical

about "secret" practices being brought out into the open.. because there is

truly no way to tell if a system is truly ancient or if is a modern system

with a contrived past. Being in the martial arts scene for quite a few years

I've seen tons of this type of thing. Regardless of Kundalini Yoga's history

it is certainly a very good system of Yoga I'm not knocking the system nor

Yogi Bhajan in any way I'd just like to find out more.

 

Thanks everyone,

Jeremy
