Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hey, what do you think about gay men chanting the So Purkh shabad, to develop healthy, balanced male energy and to attract a loving male partner? Yogi Bhajan stressed the healing power of women chanting that shabad, but he didn't talk much about practices specific to gay men.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Sat Nam,Zeke, I'll be curious to see if anybody else responds to your post. I don't have enough experience with So Purkh to give you much of an answer, but I do think your question reflects a challenge for LGBT practitioners of Kundalini Yoga, in that Yogi Bhajan gave us very little to go on. I personally have concluded that everybody has male and female energies within them, so we can do what intuitively works for us.What I do know is that YB suggested that a woman could recite So Purkh for a specific man in her life. I haven't heard anything about it helping to attract a partner. Here's what it says on the Spirit Voyage website:This bani, So Purkh, creates a sacred space in which grace prevails so as to allow the greatness of the sould to come forth. It was written by Guru Ram Das, whose vibration exists holding a state of grace and love that heals all realms of the heart and being. The Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan, taught that if a woman recites this bani eleven times a day for any man, it has the power to make him a saint and dissolve any negativity between them. He would often give this as a sadhana to women for the men in their lives. So Purkh is a part of Rehiraas, the evening prayer of the sikhs."Woman is the molder of time, the molder of space and of man: the man of tomorrow, the child; the man of today, the husband, and the men of yesterday, the ancestors. The entire society in theory and in reality is based on the spirit of the woman." ----Yogi BhajanGood luck to you, and if you'd like to join the we started for LGBT practitioners of Kundalini Yoga, just send an email to rainbowsangat- . You could submit your question there too, and you might get some more responses.WAHE GURU!Simran SinghBerkeley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Dear Ones, So Purkh was written from a man (son) to a man (father/Guru). Satnam.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Siri Bandhu, Yes, and I understand it is often chanted by women for their sons, brothers, cousins, husbands, friends. . . . so what does that mean with regard to chanting by gay men?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Dear Ezekiel, The best bet would be for you to chant So Purkhs for 40 days then you give us the feedback! My approach to The Teachings is " just do it. " Sometimes results from practice are so profound they can't be put into words. Sometimes they are so delayed that when the desired result appears one asks, " Where did that come from? " Then the answer is revealed. Sometimes you don't get what you want, you get what you need. You are asking questions for which there are no answers. It isn't a " gay thing. " It just is. Mantra is mantra. Energy is energy. Atomic energy can be used to light up New York City or to blow it up (God forbid). Intent is the thing. Divinity is the purpose. Perhaps someone from this KY group has more information: rainbowsangat/ Keep up and you will be kept up.
