Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have never heard nor read that eating meat or fish is not compatible with Kundalini Yoga, in the sense that it would work against the energy you are trying to create with Kundalini Yoga. What I did hear from Yogi Bhajan is that eating fish dries up your colon. So it is important to protect the colon, but I don't know if drinking more water is the solution or if including more flax seed oil or almond oil is a better solution together with drinking clean water. Also I don't remember YB making a distinction between fresh water fish or sea water fish in that lecture. Best wishes! Awtar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Sat Naam ji, Kundalini tradition teaches not to eat fish because of its dehydrating effects on the body. I appreciate how Kundalini teachings do not take a political or moral stand when recommending not to eat meat, they only present the practical side. Traditionally, the yoga diet is a vegetarian one in accordance to the first limb of yoga: ahimsa = non-violence. >From a born-again veggiehead, ranjit k.

For those who choose to live an ethical life, being vegetarian is a very 'practical' way to live indeed, in fact, the *only* way to live practically! Ingesting the tortured soul-consciousness via the flesh of another being isn't practical for the earth, the human body or the creature being consumed, really, is it? Blessings and Be Well!
