Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Satnam ji's >>I've also been told that Budhism (wrong spelling?) and KY are very >>related...but if you asked a budhist that..they would deny it? They probably would for valid reasons. As far as I am concerned ky is related to most religions! However it is not a religion and should not be confused a such.it has elements of the spirituality that comes from religion. Kundalini yoga is not Sikhism so if you ask me if it is related I would say no.The same reaction as I would if someone asked me if Sikhism is Hinduism.The energy is different and the relationships are different. It does have everything that yoga has as far as I am concerned but it is a religion and is to be practiced as one when you claim to be a Sikh.I became religious because of ky. It aided me in my path and it has helped most of my students become better Christians. It is always funny to me that in the beginning my students come to me basically with a distaste for religion and then suddenly they start showing up wearing crosses! Ky transcends indoctrination so most people can go back to their religion with strenght of spirit instead of fanaticism. It is a peace bridge that I believe will help the planet move away from religious wars in the future.The connection with Sikhism is also a very good one because Sikhism does not believe in trying to convert someone.Helps with respecting other people and not being indifferent... The Golden Temple has 4 doors to represent all religions can come and pray. Also to add.. religious practices especially the eastern ones have their own laws.. a lot of it connected to their knowledge of yoga and should also not be diluted.Anyway thanks for sharing and allowing me to also satnam kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Kundalini yoga is a culture if it own. It is a spiritual practice that is very definite. You can choose to live it in any form that you wish but there are basic guidelines and laws that people who want to live the lifestyle fully follow and thus we have the 3ho lifestyle. Some basic guidelines We wear white as much as we can. Opens up your chakras and makes you relate to purity,also you are seen and therefore sought out as a leader.A standard bearer We get up between 3 and 6 in the morning and do yoga and meditate We are supposed to be vegetarian.Thou shall not kill. You are what you eat We do not smoke, drink or do drugs. It is bad for you:) We refrain from sexual conduct outside of marriage. Respect women and yourself and the laws of joining in faith.Long discussion,not today... We live pure and truthfully.Follow the ten commandments they make sense. We don't cut our hair. You hair has a protien that is good for you and is God form for you. Lots more but I think you get the point Sure does sounds like a religion. No it is not. It is the essence of religion, the purity of religion that was all based on yogic philosophy and science.It is a culture and a standard satnam kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 This is very interesting to me that this topic has come up. As some of you know I've been preparing a presentation for my Ethnic Thought and Culture class. It is supposed to cover a particular culture or aspect of that culture. The culture must be present in the United States, it can originate elsewhere but it has to relate to the US. I want KY to be the major theme of the presentation. I've been trying to make it an aspect of individual religions and their cultures but I'm starting to realize KY could be considered a culture of its own and transcend culture at the same time. Is this valid? How do I go forward from here?

Friends, if we think cooly, it may occur to us that the spiritualism is there since time immemorble. Religions have been brought on this earth by super human to eradicate the evils. To make common people understand various theories of nature, good and evil were given in the forms of legends, dictums, rules and commandments. Today - we have brain power to understand things more clearly and in right perspective, as such taking up to spiritualism with value additions of all the religions on the earth - may bring unity and universal brother-hood.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Sat Nam, The Siri Guru Granth Sahib -- the holy book of the Sikhs says that the religion of future (now) is the Nam, i.e. the direct experience of the vibration, and listening to the sound of the Infinite. We can use KY to align our body and psyche so that our physical vessel becomes the direct receptor of and expression of the Infinite. This is the goal that I am striving for. I share my insights and progress as I move ahead. (See KYTraining lesson Surrender to the Zone and my book Love IT with All Your Heart www.yogatech.com) Somehow to live in this direct experience in my body, connected to my emotional body seems to be enough. My current goal is to anchor my consciousness in this reality of mergining physical, mental emotional and etheric realities. After I achieve that and move to the next phase I will let you know. Could be a while, so don't wait to move ahead on how you are directed to experience and enjoy the Infinite. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
