Empire of Yoga 

Me neither

Guru Gobind Singh says in Ray Man Shabad, "oh my mind, practice yoga in this way." So much for no concept of yoga in Sikhism.... Lol

No concept of yoga in Sikhism?? It's literally mentioned in Sikh scriptures several times.

Yoga is a Sanskrit word which means union. The literal meaning is “to yoke”. The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root word “yuj”, which means to join, to integrate, or to harness, essentially it just means union of the one practicing it with the Eternal Source.

You're right. But in same time, as a sikh we need to respect them even if their practices are different. At the end we all going in the same direction. There's diversity in all religion. For example, in islam, there's sunnite, shia, sufi, etc. Sufi are doing a lot of things against Quran but they still muslims in their way. I condamn the behavior of yogi bhajan. I think at the beginning his intention was good. Western people wadn't know about sikhi, so it was easy for yogi bhajan to teach is own interpretation of sikhi. However, now I think the 3HO kundalini sikh are not in the same situation as 70's, 80's and 90's. I'm sikh and I know some know some 3HO, kundalini sikh. They are nice and live in healthy, happy and holy way ;). 3HO, kundalini yoga, sikh dharma are not the only diversity in sikhi. There's the ravidasi, theGuru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha, the Namdhari, the sikh dharma of the western and others kind of sangat. If Waheguru ji let the diversity into sikhi is for a reason. Anyway, now a day, punjabi sikh are contaminated with the indian culture (cast (Jat), patriarcal). This also is against guru's wisdom. As I said the most important is to connect with Waheguru ji by doing: naam japo (naam simran), karam karo (work honestly) and vand charko (share with others, doing sewa). To be away from: lobh (greed), moh (attachment), kaam (desire), karodh (anger) and umai (ego/ pride). That's it :) Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh ji Waheguru ji keeps you in chardi kala with is kirpa.

We know brother sikhi is beautiful! ੴ

@@sarabkaliaankaur4635 Connect with yourself and stop making connections to and justifications for things outside yourself. Just read your long paragraph, the mental gymnastics to connect, excuse and deflect from reality and the faith dive required is blaring in your comment.

@@theworkethic sorry you have to do mental gymnastics to understand her simple clear points.

@@theworkethic you know what could really help you in your listening abilities I think would be Kundalini yoga as taught by yogi bhajan

That is true. You are right.

"Sikhism completely discards yoga practice as a form of union with God"? Can't you see how foolish that sounds? Come on, really?

Healthy living and being active was encouraged by the Gurus, no mention of Yoga directly but nothing wrong with it. Yogi Bhajan was not a cult, Sant Bhindranwale actually was best friends with Yogi Bhajan and encouraged him to spread Sikhi in the west. Miri Piri academy was made by Yogi in Amritsar and 1000s of non punjabis go there to get knowledge on Sikhism. Stop hating without known the full facts this documentary is all nonsense, Gursant and others have financial issues with the group and have been slandering their names for a while. Love how everyone wants to make a documentary these days lol literally making stuff up for content.

@thesikhwars1826 your complaining about people making stuff up but then go online saying yogi bhajan and sant jarnial singh were best friend because you saw one image online of them. Sant ji took pictures with alot of people doesn't make them best friends. Yogi bhajan has a library of teachings. Your claiming there were best friends. Go type in sant jarnial singhs name and you will see him only refer to him a few times. Stop making things up.

@thesikhwars1826 yogi bhajan in the book the masters tough states sikhs stole waheguru mantar from patanjali. Go buy the book since you support yogi bhajan so much and do parchar of what he taught. Go to the Gurudwara and sit on the stage and read out the things yogi bhajan said. Let's see how long you will be allowed to sit on that stage.

Yeah it’s weird how they keep supporting him

Gursant is definitely extreme. He saw all this though before most others did. The point he was making about auras is that people are fooling themselves by thinking this yoga works.

This yoga works. It helped me with many things.

@@6alonl it worked to keep me in the cult, without knowing I was in it. www.3hno.org/

@@6alonl m gonna be honest as someone who grew up with sikhi , yoga is not a part of sikhi amd the fact that people think that what yogi did is helpful or sikhi ,is horrible all he did was ruining innocent kids and peoples lives by creating his money empire and manipulating people.

@@interviews108 you sound like the only fool here let alone to have room to call others fools. You practiced for ten years to now say you haven't noticed any benefits haha speak for yourself! You are the fool!

Not to be taken literal, in the sense you cannot deny yogi bhajans significant contributions in bringing attention to Sikhism.

@@patrickstone4094 That is equally ridiculous

His legacy will continue to bring attention to Sikhism. "Ridiculous" as you think that may be.

@@patrickstone4094 Are you from the US by any chance?

😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Totally agree, though I was one who got pulled in to the 3HO thing. Not completely, but still too much. Taking a big distance is sometimes easier said than done -- the idea of learning from someone often includes less distance and more surrender.

Where has sadhguru abused yoga tradition? He literally tells people not to listen to anything he says to think for themselves and I’m curious how you have now linked him in with actual sexual abusers?

@@BeautyBarbie011 have you been to India ..? Did you go to Isha ..? Have you seen the impact Sadghuru has? How he destroys many beautiful flowers for the linga devotion..? How he makes so much money because of his foundation where nothing is free, except the entrance..? You cannot enter his yogaclasses without first buying his book and this course in advance. And was I talking about sexual abuse..!? I did a lot of research. And I give an unrequested advice, maybe you should have done the same.

@@interviews108 distance for me means to let go of everything I do not need. All of those I mentioned they have something good. So I filter that and everything else is gone. Yoga is letting go of that what doesn’t serve you. Also without ego. For me it is a way of living and I embrace the ones who do the same. I let ( gurus ) fortune seekers just be who they are. And believe that karma can be a bitch 😉

Sounds like you are in denial or simply do know what you are talking about.

Do not

He assaulted little girls. One of my daughters received a settlement, the other is in litigation. YOU are defending a pedophile. You are just as guilty.

So...quit one cult to join another one? 😆

Why do you keep typing “stop”?
