Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hello everyone, I just joined your group yesterday. I have just started looking into yoga, so all of this is new to me. I purchased Gurmukh's Kundalini Yoga tape yesterday and am really looking forward to receiving it. Can you please tell me what "Sat Nam" and "Wahe Guru" mean? Can anyone give me any tips for starting out since Kundalini will be the first yoga I have tried? I look forward to learning a lot from all of you. Thank you very much, Chris New England USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check for this page kundalini yogamantra.html or http://www.susankezios.com/Information/Mantras%20for%20Aquarian%20Sadhanna.htm (they are just two of the many pages you can find with any search engine). > Can anyone give me any tips for starting out since Kundalini will be > the first yoga I have tried? Other than http://www.3ho.org/kundaliniyoga.html i like http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/ very much! « May the long time sun shine upon you, All love surround you, And the pure light within you Guide your way on » Andrea, Sujan Singh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 dear chris, welcome to our group, and to the experience of kundalini yoga! congratulations! i am far from being one of the more experienced or knowledgeable people here, but i can tell you this little bit: "sat nam" means, roughly, "truth is my identity.sat" means "truth," and "nam" means name. it is used sometimes as a greeting or a blessing, and often as a mantra. when you are doing a kundalini exercise you can vibrate this mantra mentally, thinking as you inhale "sat" and as you exhale "nam." it helps you focus. sometimes i find myself sat-nam-ing even when i don't mean to, haha! "wahe guru" is roughly equivalent to "hallelujiah." it is a way of celebrating the divine. also i have heard it translated as "woo-hoo!" it's used a lot to acknowledge something wonderful, as in when someone makes a breakthrough, or to just praise the teacher who brings us an enlightening lesson - whatever form the teacher might take. my only tip for starting out is: keep up! and you will be kept up!! wahe guru!! (haha!) sat nam, seatttle sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapes and CD's are great ,I have several, but nothing beats being part of a group. Cindy New England USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
