You adopt it at the behest of your spiritual teacher who gives it to you so you may exonerate yourself of the earthly karmas you arrived in this world burdened with. In Kundalini Yoga, we arise before the sun to pray (in our case Jap-ji by Guru Nanak), make efforts (kundalini Yoga warm ups and kriyas) and we meditate and chant God's Name. All of this adds up to about 2 and a half hours, one tenth of our day, devoted to our personal spiritual upliftment and in turn the upliftment of all those we meet. That is the bare bones of it. Of course it involves much much more on so many levels that to explain would take lifetimes and volumes.

Can i practise KY on my own? 2. Or shud sumebudy guide me do it? 3. In case i can do it on my own , how do i do it practically? 4. Whut r da advantages of KY in brief and itz benefits? 5. Whut r da preferred timing thut i can perform KY? 6. Is there any specific diet thut i have to follow ? 7. Any other restrictionz? Sat nam, Girish 1. Of course you can. Do you have a yoga manual published or approved by KRI (Kundalini Research Institute) This is the best way. 2 It would be best if you had a teacher to guide you on a personal level but this is not required only it is easier than trying to learn from a book. It is best to take a few classes at least before venturing off to practice on your own. 3 Do it every day. Try to practice at least an hour. Best time is early morning before the sun rises. But that is not a requirement, just the best time. Another good time is as the sun sets. This allows our psyches to adjust for the change in energy from light to dark (as in the morning from dark to light) 4 Kundalini yoga is not only powerful and effective, it is also fun. It will change your life if you practice it regularly and correctly. 5 See # 3 6 A vegetarian diet is best but not required. Actually though as you meditate and reach more el;evated levels of consciousness and awareness the need for such things as meat, and alcohol and caffeine and sugar will begin to drop away. You will find yourself indulging in them less and less. 7. There are no restrictions. Chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo before you start and bless the world and those around you when you end and you will become great!
