Re:the mother of all yogas...

[Guest guest]

The following is my opinion based on my research. Anyone with more info is

welcome to

correct me:

 

I think it's safe to say that KY has within it some of the oldest technologies

in yoga. It's

easy to understand how people from other traditions get offended at the claims

of KY. I

inadvertantly offended an ashtanga teacher when I showed her the flyer for my

class

(stating that KY is the root science of all other yogas). For instance, Hatha

Yoga (where

most of the yoga in US is derived regardless of name) is very ancient also, KY

has alot of

Hatha yoga in it. So, when talking to another yogi from another tradition, I try

and include

them by finding the things we have in common.

As far as KY is concerned, (my understanding is) YB studied many traditions and

had

numerous teachers and he brilliantly combined these very ancient, secret and

powerful

techniques together into one system. So, in a sense KY is the oldest of

traditions but it

also combines numerous ancient yogic technologies.

So, between us KY yogis, it IS the most powerful, most comprehensive, most

whollistically

effective of yogas. But it's also understandable that someone who's been

studying Hatha

for 20 years will feel offended if we tell them ours is the source of their

knowledge.There

may be some truth in what we say but, it's hard for some people to hear.

Shabad.

Sat Nam Shabad:

 

I try not to worry about anyone becoming offended by any teachings relating to

yoga, be it Hatha Yoga, KY, Bikram Yoga, etc. I don't believe offense should be

taken (fear is involved, if there is offense). Information shared is an

opportunity for someone to open up to other teachings, methods... opportunities

that could help this soul! There is so much dogma in the physical... and, so

much to learn from everyone, from all walks of life, on modes of communicating

and meditating.

 

WE are not here to please others, only ourselves (and the God within).

 

Namaste'
