Karl,

What I mean is that K.yoga was developed

out of a 500-year line of Sikh gurus, starting

with I believe Guru Nanak. Perhaps these are

similar to Catholic Popes, bishops or Cardinals.

Perhaps they are similar to the Tibetan lama

tradition where gifted students come forward

and are chosen by the gurus by symbols and

signals that they manifest by chance.(?) Tai

Chi is a discipline that helps older people

to maintain fluidity of movement and mental

control of their limbs into advanced old age.

Tai chi requires no one to follow any religious

dogma. By the same token Kundalini yoga as

taught by a certified teacher is generally

given as a method or discipline for increasing

conscious awareness of body, mind and spirit.

It also helps one to keep limber, control weight

reduce stress, and to be more efficient, effect-

ive and aware in the daily activities of work,

school or home. You are not required to be a

member of the Sikh religion. If you play touch

football or softball, you are not expected to

become a member of a major league team like NFL

or American League. Yogi Bhajan has said that

you are welcome to learn from yoga what you

need to improve your life. If you have no more

time than to learn a good set of stretching

exercises, you can leave it at that. If you are

looking for power, you will find that yoga gives

you the power to be a better world server or

teacher.

Who was Yogiji's most influential teacher?

I dunno. Perhap's you could ask Gururattan Kaur

or Yogiji himself. Perhaps that person is no

longer in the land of the living, so you won't

get an interview with his seventh grade teacher.

Are they still practicing Kundalini Yoga in

Amritsar? No doubt there are hundreds of teach-

ers and practitioners in the Punjab. Probably,

the Sikh officers/warriors are some of the best

yogis, the more saintly ones are probably teach-

ers or even hermits. Do they still play base-

ball in the USA? Do they still play soccer in

Brazil? Do they practice Aikido, karate and

other martial arts in all countries? The answer

to all of these questions is: Yes. -Seanrobb
