I don’t know what problem do people have with Yoga. Sikhism also promotes a healthy way of living and yoga is one way of achieving good health (and mind)!!

Thank you Gurumustuk Ji and to all of us,

God bless us. We are chilren on the path of becoming ourselves, which is recognizing EK ONG KAR and that we are one with God …ALL the time…and the rest is all the silly things that just make our vision blurry and us not able to see. I am grateful for this opportunity for you to be “sick” and have the time to reflect. I often feel in a lot of respect for the challenging role you are living in this world, as like the Siri Singh Sahib and all great souls and teachers who rise to the leader within themselves…there is a lot of pressure from many angles.

This is where I am grateful for the insight that came to you about not trying to fit to what you think others want to hear. Particularly as we are shifting into a more global consciouness (Age of Aquarius) we all have to be very aware of our beliefs which limit us to the false thought that we are separate from eachother…as we are all parts of eachother.

The hardest part I find is finding yourself in that hatred reflected outside and EVEN embracing and understanding that in some way.

UNDERSTAND THROUGH COMPASSION OR MISUNDERSTAND THE TIMES!! -YB

We are not here to be anything but ourselves. If we do not listen to our own experience, to our soul, and TRUST in that when relating to the world…WHOEVER they are…then we will lose our True self, and lose God. But only for a moment…because EK ONG KAR!

God bless us to have the humility AND the courage to be ourselves and serve this world and these crazy times with love and authenticity.

It is distrubing and painful to know about the comments left by “alkhalsa” regarding someone.

But remember these kind of people want attention by throwing mud at other people and I think we need to ignore these kind of “psycopaths” and keep on walking towards our destiny with dignity and grace.

We will find these kind of people in all cultures and walk of life. They have only one objective to GET ATTENTION and how can they cash on it.

Its a shame that this person labels himself/herself as khalsa, yet don’t even have slightest idea of sikhi in his/her cortex. These kind of people have very limited development in every aspect of their lives.

So lets not waste our time in vain, but keep on spreading the fragance of TRUE khalsa

I imagine it must be difficult at times to deal with such people but you stand out and above these people. You are an inspiration to alot of people.

I used to think as well coming from a Punjabi Sikh background, what is all this yoga that is mixed in with Sikhi, is it not diluting the teachings of Sikhi or creating a mish mash? Then i started exploring Sikhism, and subsequently yoga and began to understand that yoga is a tool that can assist with reaching the union / that oneness with God.

I was born in Singapore and haven’t lived in India so i didn’t have the spiritual environment around me (like one does in India, but this is changing these days). For some yoga helps in this regard.

My thoughts are that this stems from the following:
- ignorance in the fundamentals/philosophy of Sikhism and/or seeing Sikhism as a black and white religion (that is you only do this and never do anything else)
- ignorance in the teaching of Yogi Bhajan and Kundalini yoga. This stems from being comfortable in your knowledge and not seeking to expand it, therefore dismissing everything new or different to the persons beliefs.

I can say i used to be like this to a degree but over time i changed and that was only done when i decided i had to understand rather than just judging things and dismissing anything i did not know or understand. I then also started to understand Sikhism and love Sikhism so much more than what i used to.

There is nothing wrong with progression and like Gurumustuk said yoga was around before Hinduism. It comes down to having a different mindset and understanding that as a Sikh you are a learner and learning how to connect with God and life in many ways. Let’s move forward and create a better world and be at peace with ourselves and others.

I am sure that my dad too would be happy that you have shown me the way as for countless others.

Leadership takes guts, and you have the guts to stand out and make a difference, i respect you for this as i am sure lots of others do too.

A side note is that on the Internet i could assume the identity of anyone and pretend to be a Sikh/Khalsa/Whatever and actually not be a Sikh at all if i wanted to. It may be true for the people who have written the posting you provided above or the people that show hatred.

Well brother Gurumustuk, i have never met you, but will stand side-by-side with you anytime..

Your friend and brother,
Ravinder Singh

The User Nicknamed “AlKhalsa” wrote a comment on a youtube.com video that I just posted: “no matter that Yogi Bhajan is a fuckn criminal, cult master, rapist and he will pay for it when he faces the almighty; he is still a very interesting character. his wit and charm beguiles many innocent americans/whites and his command over the whites charms the diasporic Sikhs even more. but the sin of misinterpretation, abuse and commercialization of GUrbani and addition of Kundalini yoga (”serpent’s way”) cannot be forgiven and we its not forgotten.“

So you see this is the type of mis-informed, hateful messages and people that myself and many other Sikhs in our community have to deal with. It makes me wonder where people get so much hate like this (specially so called Sikhs). In any case…watch the video. As the SSS videos normally are it was very inspiring. May God Bless this person and all those others who have hate, to overcome this and feel at peace with the world and all those in it.

I listened to the interview and was amazed to hear the Christian man talking about something along the lines of being taken over by evil sprits etc by doing yoga and there are thousands of victims to this? I myself am a Punjabi Sikh I don’t practice yoga myself but don’t see the problem if other Sikhs do. Like Siri Singh Sahib says it’s a simple science of union and it will be advantage to know yoga not a disadvantage.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
