Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Thank you everyone for the Yogi and Guru definitions. Those are the types of definitions I have found. I guess my query is how are the titles earned? Who gives these titles? Are they self proclaimed? Why do we refer to Yogi Bhajan as a Yogi as opposed to a Guru? Is it religious sects that bestow the Yogi and/or Guru titles. Can anyone can decide to be a Yogi/Yogini by their lifestyle and spiritual choices, then teach many others and be named a Guru? There are those that practice yoga, live yoga, connect with the divine, etc. But, at what point are the titles earned? Not that I'm aspiring to such, I have just always been curious about these distinctions. Sat nam, Heidi ---------- Introducing NetZero Long Distance Unlimited Long Distance only $29.95/ month!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Sat Nam, As far as the names given by Yogi Bhajan, the Guru does not define a title. It is part of the name which describes the soul essence of the person. Some form of teacher. My name means the Jewel who brings light into people's lives.
