There's a yogic art and science to all aspects of human life. There's a yogic way to get up in the morning; there's a yogic way to go to sleep at night. A way to eat, and a way to breath. Virtually every aspect of human existence has an enlightened, efficient, and effective way to do it. This legacy of technical and spiritual knowledge that Yogi Bhajan studied and mastered in India is the gift he brought to the West.
THE YOGI'S GIFT.
kundalini Yoga was always kept very secret. It was never taught publicly until 1969, when Yogi Bhajan
challenged the ages-old tradition of secrecy.He spent many years in India learning, mastering, and perfecting the habits and practices of Kundalini Yoga. It sometimes took months of waiting patiently and being tested in many ways before a Teacher would reveal anything at all to him. Yet he has offered to share these ancient secrets with us, openly and honestly. His motive? compassion. He wants us to stop suffering. He sees the reality of our inner beaty, power, and potential and he wants us to discover it for ourselves.
-Experience your inner light of consciousness.
-Experience your own highest consciousness.
-Discover your real Identity.
The practices enable you to merge with or "yoke" with the universal Self. This merging of individual
consciousness with universal consciousness creates a "divine union" called "yoga". The practice that leads to this state of self-mastery is also called "yoga". So the road and the destination have the same name, "yoga". There are many different kinds, or schools of yoga. Those who practice yoga are called yogis and those who master yoga are also called yogis.The technology of Kundalini Yoga applies its science to our bodies and minds, and is aimed at spirit which has no boundaries, no discrimination. Therefore it is for everyone. It is universal and nondenominational.
IS YOGA A RELIGION?
Kundalini Yoga is not a religion. kundalini Yoga is a sacred science. It is sacred because it deals with the GOD("G": that which Generates; "O": that which Organizes;"D": that which Delivers or Destroys) in you. It is scientific because it provides a technology, a method by which anyone who practices it can experience that divine identity within. The way you choose to worship that G-O-D is your religion.
Yes, Kundalini Yoga does require Faith(not belief), just as course in chemistry requires the faith of the student to do the laboratory experiments so he can prove the validity of the formulas for himself.
LONG TERM GAIN/SHORT TERM GAIN.
As you work toward confident, and more efficient in whatever you're doing in your external life.
Simultaneously, you become progressively more aware of your-self on all levels. It's a win/win situation!
SECRETS OF POWER.
To fully appreciate the value of this great gift Yogi Bhajan has brought us, we need to understand why, for thousands of years, the yogis kept it secret. They preserved and carefully guarded the knowledge of the inner and outer workings of a human being, very cautiously revealing the technology, selectively passing it down verbally from master to chosen disciple. They were selective because knowledge gives power, and power can corrupt. Traditionally, disciples had to spend many years providing their trustwothiness and ethical purity to receive the sacred science of Kundalini Yoga. Only after the student demonstrated humility, self-discipline, and obedience would the teacher reveal the secret Kriyas. Yet Yogi Bhajan has taken it upon himself to share his knowledge openly with everyone. He has done this in order to prepare humanity for the major changes that the planet is going through. The world we knew even ten years ago has totally changed-geographically, socially, economically, morally. we have already crossed from Piscean Age into the age of Aquarius. As he has said, "what used to work, won't work anymore". It's a new age already, and this ancient technology of Kundalini Yoga can give us the awareness and the strength to make our transition smoother.
