Woodstock Guru

Dear Friends:

 

I need your help with a delimma. I'm on another list where the comment was made

that Yogi Bhajan was at

Woodstock and is the guru in the movie made about the experience.

 

Another member of this same list strongly believes that Sri Swami Satchidananda

was the yogi who opened

Woodstock. Their site: http://www.yogaville.org Sri Swami Satchidananda is the

founder of the worldwide

Integral Yoga Institute. I've tried sending an e-mail to ask, but it doesn't

work with my setup, or some

such. They're located in Virginia.

 

I've looked at most of the pages on this site and see nothing about kundalini

yoga or 3HO, so they must be

doing their own thing and that's ok.

 

The point is this: I've been told that Yogi Bhajan, Siri Singh Sahib, was at

Woodstock and it was while at

Woodstock that he wrote the song, "May the long time sun shine upon you, all

love surround you, and the

pure light within you guide your way on."

 

So, what I need clarified is: who exactly was at Woodstock; did Yogi Bhajan

write the song? How can this

be researched?

 

I don't want to believe something based on opinion, but on fact. Sri Swami

Satchidananda says he was at

Woodstock on his website. I am certain that the other person feels stongly

about this.

 

Please help me sort this out. The truth is important. Thank you so much.

 

Respectfully and in peace, Nancy

Re: "Long Time Sun"

 

I heard Gurmukh Kaur mention at the Fall Yoga festival in Millis

in 1999 that it was popularised by a celtic/folk/rock group

The Incredible String Band...

(i have yet to find this recording)

 

but i have a feeling this is an old Blessing/proverb perhaps Irish or Middle

Eastern....

i dont think they wrote it....

Dear Nancy,

 

Yogi Bhajan was definitely at Woodstock. We have pictures of him teachng

there is the rain.

 

Sri Swami Satchidananda could have well been the yogi who opened Woodstock.

 

Yogi Bhajan did not write the song, "May the long time sun shine upon you,

all love surround you, and the

> pure light within you guide your way on."

 

Someone else will know who did. It was a popular group at the time. Yogi

Bhajan has us sing it to keep the spirit created at Woodstock alive and to

bless all those who died and sacrificed so we might live in the light today.

 

Sat Nam,

 

Gururattan Kaur

Hi, it was Sri Swami Satchidananda, at least according

to the website:

(http://www.integralyogaofnewyork.org/About_IYI/Founder/founder.html).

I've been to classes at the Integral Yoga institute,

which he founded, and they're good - the hatha yoga

classes aren't as good as others I've attended, but

they do have a whole range of various classes (using

the chakras to write, was one of them that was

particularly good).

 

Namaste,

Reuben

Hello.......

 

This is an Irish blessing. I am 99.9% sure of that. My sister-in-law, who

is quite Irish, has a few Irish blessings around her home and this is one

that I believe I saw while I was there.

 

:o)

I'm from Ireland, and never heard of 'The long Time Sunshine' until I

began ky. I'm just as sure it isn't Irish !!! Most of the so called

Irish blessings you see around are not known in Ireland - I'm pretty

sure they are made up for sale

 

Love and Blessings,

Avtar.
