Who are the real charlatans?

[Guest guest]

Hi Matthew

 

I don't really want this topic to develop on the list - it has been

discussed many times over the last 3.5 years. However, I can't post and not

expect others to reply, if they so wish.

 

When reading reports, such as yours today, I have to ask myself just what

kind of agenda this Hatha yoga teacher is following. Is this misinformation

or disinformation? I have never seen or heard of anyone following the path

of Kundalini yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan ending up with any kind of

problems, mental or otherwise.

 

As far as making money is concerned, and losing sight of the path, I think

that many Hatha yoga teachers are guilty of that. They have succeeded in

turning the yoga they teach into just another form of fitness training, a

means of exploiting the gullible who are so easily parted from their money.

You must remember that Yogi Bhajan is a master of Hatha yoga, as well as

Kundalini yoga - but the kind of Hatha yoga with which he is acquainted is

far removed from that now peddled by many folk in the West.

 

My advice to you is to stay with KY - you had great experiences in NYC - and

this is only the beginning for you - and look for a new Hatha yoga teacher!

:-)

 

Sat Nam!
