Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Sat Nam Travis, I enjoyed the " How NOT to become 10 x greater than Yogi Bhajan in 13 easy steps " post but I can also understand how it could have been taken the wrong way, or at least not the way the author ( I presume) intended. It is all a matter of perspective. Yogi Bhajan left us with a vast treasury of teachings - So many meditations, kriyas, recipes, mantras, ways to dress, sleep, eat, be married, raise children.... i don't think its even possible to follow EVERYTHING he ever advised because he was always speaking for the situation at hand ( it seems to me, although I never met him) as well as on a universal level. Following rules to the letter I don't think was the point of it all... Finding what works for YOU within his vast legacy IS. What in the practice of KY makes you light up? Find that and do it with devotion, then all answers and everything else will come into place for you. Don't worry about other peoples trips. This Kundalini Community is here to support and uplift ALL. All I know is that its not about being perfect as per Yogi Bhajan's instructions. That said, there is vast wisdom and real reasons behind every single thing in that list . As a person who's life has been totally positively transformed by this practice, I respect them all and apply what works and what I can handle to my own life, where I am at right now, with great results! Leave the rest for the people who choose it, but don't worry that anyone is pushing their rules on you!! I've never seen that in this community, if it exists its rare and not representational of the majority! All the best to you on your Travels, Jamila http://jamilastarwater.com/ http://www.eleveneleven.net/ http://blog.eleveneleven.net/ Kundalini-Yoga , Travis Porter <travisporter2196 wrote: > > I don't know. This makes me very uneasy. I know it was written with the best of intentions and is supposed to be light-hearted, but it seems kind of cultish, and if my reaction is any indication, would probably be more off-putting to people than inspiring. I thought that the idea was to spread Kundalini Yoga with no judgements so what's the point of making people feel guilty if their take on the teachings is not exactly like yours? I, for one, don't think there's anything wrong with a glass of wine once in a blue moon (I don't drink), and I don't think I'm going to go to hell because I don't have a long beard. Your devotion to Yogi Bhajan is admirable, and he was a great man, but the way that you are making him a perfect person is dangerous. Even gurus are ordinary people too. Maybe a little compassion would be more in order, rather than this daunting standard or else mentality. If Kundalini is the Yoga of Awareness, I think it is best to let people find > their own way. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
