Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 ------- yogi bhajan's health Sun, 15 Jul 2001 16:50:42 -0600 mark terrell <mark.terrell Kundaliniyoga Organization: http://www.3web.net kundaliniyoga To Everyone, People always ask me about Yogi Bhajan's health. If he is such a great yogi how come he has these health problems? The answer, I think, is primarily this: When he first started out as Mahan Tantric he said it was only safe to do it for two years at the pace he was going. He continued for more than 20. I remember, at Solistice when he used to do it for 5 days straight, he would sometimes be have to be virtually carried off the stage. Recently, during a tantric in Vancouver, there was a fellow running around and kind of freaking out and disrupting things. YB was miles away. But at the time one side of his torso began swelling up and nobody knew what was going on. Then they remembered the tantric. It went away after a while. Also, as a spiritual teacher of his position, a lot of karma of his students is being carried by him. That's part of his function. A now elderly gentlemen who was a student of Paramahansa Yogananda often had to carry him out of the room where he was was lecturing for that same reason. They used to manage that so students didn't know about it and become afraid or guilty. But it is still the way things are. Saying a prayer or doing a meditation and not freaking out during tantric is important! It is also important not to slander or be angry towards him as a reaction to something you might not like in his personality, style, or the people around him, or in response to his interaction with you. Be angry if that comes up but remember just to process it not fire it at him. He is only the messenger. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2002 Report Share Posted February 1, 2002 Thank you for these comments about Yogi Bhajan's health and the effects of his service to us on his health. I once heard him say that it is a "calculated risk" in regard to the life style he lives in order to bring his teachings to us. This would include being the Mahan Tantric as well as being available to his students, giving lectures and classes, extensive travel, meeting with world leaders, attending children's performances for him, getting up off his sick bed after having heart surgery to be at summer solstice for his students. The list goes on and on. He has given us more than we'll ever know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
