The Evolution of Kundalini Yoga by Jivan Mukta

Twelve years ago things were positive in the world of Kundalini Yoga “as Taught by Yogi Bhajan”, at least that is how a good number of people who studied new religious movements and 3HO wrote back then. Doris Jackbosh agreed that this organisation “has largely passed under the radar of research because the group has simply not been perceived as “controversial” enough, and has in many ways successfully integrated into society at large” (p. 386).  

What has changed in the last weeks? What has happened to this movement that had “successfully integrated into society at large”? What has tilted the perception from positive to negative? What is the cause of the current chaos hitting the memory of the teacher and inspiration of the whole movement, Yogi Bhajan?

Nuestra Posición Acerca Yogui Bhajan

Nuestra comunidad de Kundalini Yoga está teniendo una situación que es difícil de enfrentar y entender ...

Nos entristece escuchar testimonios en contra de quién trajo el Kundalini Yoga al mundo occidental. Diversos aspectos de la vida privada de Yogi Bhajan han surgido a través de su principal secretaria y alumna en los aŋos 70 y 80. Por eso hemos leído cuidadosamente el libro de "Premka", escrito por Pamela Dyson.

Tenemos compasión y sentimos profundamente por ella y cualquier otra mujer que haya experimentado eventos traumáticos y por ello nos sentimos más obligados que nunca a apoyar y ayudar a sanar.

A nivel personal, la situación actual que afecta a la comunidad de Kundalini Yoga nos produce dolor y tristeza, pero al mismo tiempo creemos que es una oportunidad para crecer y volvernos más auténticos y comprensivos.

Con este espíritu de búsqueda de la verdad y con transparencia, haremos todo lo posible para elevar la situación que ha afectado a la comunidad de Kundalini yoguis y yoguinis. La verdad es que nosotros también estamos aprendiendo mucho de esta situación.

En estos momentos de profunda reflexión, vemos que esta crisis como una oportunidad para crear una conexión más directa, más auténtica y más profunda con las enseñanzas universales del yoga, la Cadena Dorada y el ser Divino. Y entregarse no a persona, sino a la Verdadera Identidad, Sat Nam.

Humildemente en servicio,

Our Statement on Yogi Bhajan

Our Kundalini Yoga community is having a challenging situation to face and understand.

We are saddened to hear about the allegations against the one who has brought Kundalini Yoga to the Western world. Recent testimonies about Yogi Bhajan’s sexual conduct have challenged us all. Hence, we have carefully read the book of ”Premka”, written by Pamela Dyson, the chief secretary and student of Yogi Bhajan in the 70’s and 80’s…

We feel compassion for her and any women who experienced traumatic events and we feel compelled to support and help to heal. On a personal level, the current situation affecting the Kundalini Yoga community feels painful and sad, but at the same time it feels like an opportunity to grow and become more authentic and understanding…

In the search of truth and transparency, we will do our best to elevate the situation affecting the community of Kundalini yogis and yoginis. We, too, are learning a lot from this situation.

In these moments of deep reflection, we see a chance for all of us to create a more direct, more authentic and more profound connection to the universal teachings of yoga, the Golden Chain and the Divine Being.

We believe this is an important opportunity to go beyond any personality and surrender to the True Identity, Sat Nam.

In humble service,

Numerology 2020: "A Call to Serve" by Jivan Mukta

Next year is symbolically representing a very special form of equilibrium: 2020 is an opportunity to look at things with neutrality, balance, and to cultivate diplomacy in our collective and intimate relationships. This and other things I am going to explain in the next paragraphs come from the numbers in 2020, and the sum of all of them, 4 which in Tantric Numerology is represented by the symbol of a “Cup of Prayer”.
