REPLY REGARDING health practices & Yogi Bhajan's health

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

Actually, I know many kundalini yoga practitioners who use neti

pots for clearing the sinuses, etc., including myself. I doubt that

there's ever been a poll taken as to numbers of neti pot users among

Kundalini yogis, and we don't wear badges, so there's really no way

of knowing how many of us there are. Such yogic practices as neti

pot and UT are mentioned from time to time, even in Yogi Bhajan's

lectures, among many other possible yogic health practices that could

prove beneficial. It has always been up to each individual to adopt

such practices or not. Once in a discussion of the benefits of

particular foods he told me, " It's all an experiment, and the good

people share the results of their experiments. "

As for Yogi Bhajan's own health status, he told us even in his

youth that he was not destined to live past his 48th year; we

" prayed " him into a longer stay (and I'm sure his sense of " dutiful

is beautiful " kept him here). His vast yogic knowledge and

disciplines were no match for his power to sacrifice - which saw him

flying to serve people in all parts of the world nearly every week -

and offering his own bone marrow through years of filtering the dis-

eases of others as the Mahan Tantric of White Tantric Yoga - a

service he continues as a subtle body. If the object of life and

yoga were merely to remain in perfect health and leave a beautiful

corpse, you might think he failed. (Though, truth be told, at the

end of his life he was quite thin - and beautifully diaphanous with

light). Those who hold that the purpose of the body is to serve the

purpose of the soul would offer, instead, that his state of yoga (as

" union " rather than mere health regime) was so perfected that there

are still thousands of us who continue to be healed in his spirit,

and through the legacy of his teachings.

Peace,

It is clear that Yogi Bhajan lives through the devoted. Very inspiring.
