Cults Info

Other issues we face are religious cults which represent a false view of our cultures.3 H O Sikhs - most visible by their white outfits, and go by various prefixes like Shri, Hari, Aum/Om, Guru Deva ( often combining Hindu and Punjabi names out of ignorance) etc; often with names such as Amrit, Snatam, etc. (Though is not ALWAYS a sign, as some true Sikhs also have names such as Amrit. Look for other stereotypes and signs, especially as they will have limited association to Punjabi culture, unless to exploit and /or mock it, some even saying it has no connection to Sikhi.) What they do exploits both westerners and easterners by taking compromise of westerners' fickle, materialistic, ego driven vices and and using them to take advantage of and seem superior to the overly trusting easterners so as to lure and trap them to use them for their evil deceives. They indulge in the easterner's will until it is fully taken advantage of, and most often when it is too late. This is the case with both the 3ho cult and the goris who marry Desi, Asians, or Middle Eastern people, except with the romantic relations, it's done one a smaller ( one or a few people instead of a large community) yet equally destructive, false, and dangerous scale. They are what is called a cult - a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader. It was started by Yogi Bhajan but his real name is something else. He was a small time criminal until he was hired by the Indian government to start a cult and dress it up as Sikh cult to break the Khalistan movement up (divide and conquer) in 1960s, 1970s, 1980's, and beyond until his death. Anyway he converted a few thousand white (Gora) cult members who treat him as the their unofficial 11th Guru. He gave them Amrit but they don't keep all the 5 Ks or do 5 bani - the prayers everyday (which is mandatory) and they believe in and teach tantric yoga and other Hindu beliefs. They are considered a dangerous cult that is trying to change the Sikh religion into Hinduism by trying to become its leadership. During the 1980s they were very hostile and negative against the Khalistan movement for a independent Sikh state Khalistan (because they were & are funded secretly by the Indian government to break the Khalistan movement up (divide and conquer). They belong to the 'new age' movement - see here for more info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age . (New age religions are basically fanatic groups, with ideas taken from mainstream religions, then transformed into groups with ideas which sounds like they were on drugs, going on about false spiritual philosophies, for example, how the auras of the body will transcend the soul to various places if you do this or that, or how you can achieve enlightenment by doing some really strange technique. These were stemmed by the hippie movements of the 60's, and were fueled by western stereotypical ideas of eastern religions.) They Also run the Miriri Piri academy - www.miripiriacademy.org/ . Obsessive especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing. (Please see these links - http://www.cultnews.com/?cat=2 , http://yogibhajan.tripod.com/id23.html , www.rickross.com/groups/3ho.html ), and www.goldentemple.com ( The 'product listing' for their line of false health food products, which they try to market if you purchase them they will change yourmind and spirit enlighten your chakra and bring you to a higher consciousness, etc.) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/X-3HO/ (It's currently mostly spam infested, but if you dig through the archives, may find some good people who can tell u about the bullscrap that has gone on.) http://www.culthelp.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=868&Itemid=11 http://www.sarbloh.info/htmls/article_samparda_3ho.html http://www.freedomofmind.com/resourcecenter/groups/h/3ho/, http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php? showtopic=4038, http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?showtopic=17036&st=72, http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?showtopic=17036, http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/main.asp?webtag=KamallaRose&nav=start&prettyurl= %2FKamallaRose%2Fstart http://www.strippingthegurus.com/ http://www.freewebs.com/carmenkaur/myblog.htm http://www.freewebs.com/carmenkaur/kundaliniyoga.htm 'All forms of Yoga are based on an ancient science, starting in the east. Yoga means to "yoke" or "unite" in Sanskrit. Yoga has therefore been a way for the finite (human) to connect to the Finite (God) Its a way to connect with our higher self, and a realm beyond the physical body. It is believed, that in every body, dormant Kundalini energy lies in the base of the spine. There are 2 nerve channels at the central nerve of the spinal column. These are called the IDA (lunar, negative energy) and the PINGALA (solar, positive energy. Each of them make 2 and a half turns around the central column of the spine, called the sushmana, as they begin to spiral up the spine. These 2 nerve channels act as conductirs of Kundalini energy that feeds the entire nervous system. Through the practice of Kundalini Yoga, the trapped energy is stimulated and allowed to flow, reaching the skull, activating the secretion of the pineal gland. The pineal controls the nucleus projection of every cell in the body. To go into further detail, would be to describe the undescribable, Kundalini Yoga is all about experience.' http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrsikhnet/sets/ http://www.jattworld.com/portal/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.phptopic_id=5644&forum=1#63928 http://www.jattworld.com/portal/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5722&forum=1#67310 http://www.jattworld.com/portal/modules/newbb_plus/archive.php?forum=1&topic_id=5960 http://www.jattworld.com/portal/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5964&forum=5#67594 http://www.jattworld.com/portal/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5964&forum=5#67597 http://www.jattworld.com/portal/modules/newbb_plus/archive.php?forum=1&topic_id=5986 http://www.jattworld.com/portal/modules/newbb_plus/archive.php?forum=1&topic_id=5968 http://www.jattworld.com/portal/modules/newbb_plus/archive.php?forum=1&topic_id=5961 this is sickening - here is an example that these 3ho are sucessful in misleading our people this person defends the 3ho http://frontlinepunjabiyouth.blogspot.com/2007/12/real-akj-attitude.html and this crap http://www.sikhdharma.org/pages/sikhs-netherlands-brief-history?page=0%2C3 www.sikhspectrum.com/022003/holland_roots.htm http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:2XOoHPHdcekJ:www.allaboutsikhs.com/historicalevents/ kurbani-reminiscences-meeting-bhai-fauja-singhji. html+bhai+fauja+singh+american+sikhs&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:g1G1NykJLeYJ:www.allaboutsikhs.com/historicalevents/ amritsar-massacre-1978-a-martyr-swords. html+bhai+fauja+singh+american+sikhs&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us The crazy gori religious leader shound NOT in any way be confused with http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashi_Company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prem_Rawat he's both a dirty ugly gori chod and a cult leader. In May 1974, a judge gave Rawat his consent to marry without parental permission.[69] His marriage to Marolyn Johnson, a 24-year old follower and slut from San Diego, California, was celebrated at a non-denominational church in Golden, Colorado.[70] Rawat's mother, Mata Ji, had not been invited. [71] Rawat's marriage to a non-Indian finally severed his relationship with his mother.[9][10] She retained control of the Indian DLM and appointed her eldest son, Satpal, as its leader.[8] Mata Ji said she was removing Rawat as Perfect Master because of his "unspiritual" lifestyle and lack of respect for her wishes.[7][72][73] Rawat retained the support of the Western disciples. Most of the mahatmas either returned to India or were dismissed.[60] Rawat had become wealthy as a result of contributions from his Western devotees, and led the life of an American millionaire. He ran a household for his slut, his brother (Raja) and his sister-in-law (Claudia), and financed travel for the close officials and mahatmas who accompanied him on his frequent trips around the globe to attend the Mission's festivals.[60][74] By early 1974 the number of full-time DLM staff had increased from six to over one thousand. In November 1974, seeking more privacy for himself, his slut and his entourage following security concerns, Rawat moved to a 4-acre (16,000 m2) property in Malibu, California. http://www.prem-rawat-bio.org/disinherit.html Prem Rawat was disowned, disinherited and deposed by the Indian Divine Light Mission. Prem Rawat has tried to explain this away as his hidebound Hindu mother's anger at his non-traditional marriage. However, she made it clear in newspaper interviews that it was caused by her youngest son's "playboy" behaviour which included drunkeness, marijuana smoking, overly luxurious living, eating meat and excessive (for a Satguru) lust for sex. These accusations were later confirmed by close followers. Rawat attempted to gain control of the organisation through the Indian courts but his mother and his eldest brother won the court case to retain control of his father's property. They never met again, his children never met their grandmother, he did not attend her funeral. The brothers' web sites, Satpal's Manav Dharam and any of Prem Rawat's many sites do not mention each other. Rawat's mother announced her deposing of her youngest son on April 1, 1975 (I am unsure if she meant this to coincide with April Fools' Day) but the family split had already been announced to the Divine Light Mission Western premies, sort of, nearly a year before on May 9, 1974 when this letter was published. A year later the bitter family dispute was in the open with Mata Ji and Rawat's elder brothers rejecting him. Newspaper stories were headlined: 'Playboy, not holy man', Guru's mother rejects him as religion chief and Guru denounced by mother as a playboy. Rawat refused to answer reporters' questions about his mother's accusations that he was drinking alochol, eating meat and taking too much interest in sex. There has been plenty of eye-witness testimony since that time that these claims were, in fact, true and not that he was just drinking but getting drunk and stoned on marijuana. Seven years later he claimed "I think she was upset that I married a foreigner." http://www.neverforget84.com/gallery/albums/1978-Nakli-Nirinkari-Massacres/Bhai-FaujaSingh/Bhai-Fauja-Singh-9.jpg I'm not sure if these are 3ho's or not (clarification is needed here) - http://www.neverforget84.com/gallery/cache/1978-Nakli-Nirinkari-Massacres/Bhai-Avtar-SinghKurala.jpg_595.jpg http://www.neverforget84.com/gallery/cache/1978-Nakli-Nirinkari-Massacres/Bhai-Fauja-Singh/BhaiFauja-Singh-6.jpg_595.jpg http://www.neverforget84.com/gallery/cache/1978-Nakli-Nirinkari-Massacres/Bhai-Fauja-Singh/BhaiFauja-Singh-8.jpg_595.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/ProcessionInStreets2-708533.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/KhalsaBrothers2-705960.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/LehriSingh-727036.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/AshesRemain-779992.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/AmolaksParents-786607.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/Kirtan-795764.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/AshesRemain-779992.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/SSS-Amarjit-729860.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/SwamiSingh-730415.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/KhalsaBrothers-715745.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/AmolakSinghHostpital-763573.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/uploaded_images/HazaraSingh-744177.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/hello/1328287/700/Bhai_Fauja_Singh_and_Sangat2005.07.27-23.43.03.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/hello/1328287/700/Bhai_Fauja_Singh_Speaking_to_Sanga t-2005.07.27-23.42.51.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/hello/1328287/700/Bhai_Fauja_Singh1-2005.07.27- 23.42.08.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/hello/1328287/700/Bhai_Fauja_and_others-2005.07.2723.42.00.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/hello/1328287/700/Bhai_Fauja_Singh_and_others_22005.07.27-23.40.59.jpg http://www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/hello/1328287/700/Copy_of_Bhai_Fauja_Singh_and_other s_2-2005.07.27-23.40.38.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/3083953315_a41b8bfdf8_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3003/3083953309_cb593928d3_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/3083953307_afc5c93df8_o.jpg www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/.../letters-of-bhai-fauja-singh.html this is another puzzling thing....why did fauja singh have such a connection to the 3ho's? www.mrsikhnet.com/BhaiFaujaSingh/ this is sickening - here is an example that these 3ho are sucessful in misleading our people this person defends the 3ho http://frontlinepunjabiyouth.blogspot.com/2007/12/real-akj-attitude.html and this crap http://www.sikhdharma.org/pages/sikhs-netherlands-brief-history?page=0%2C3 www.sikhspectrum.com/022003/holland_roots.htm http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:2XOoHPHdcekJ:www.allaboutsikhs.com/historicalevents/ kurbani-reminiscences-meeting-bhai-fauja-singhji. html+bhai+fauja+singh+american+sikhs&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:g1G1NykJLeYJ:www.allaboutsikhs.com/historicalevents/ amritsar-massacre-1978-a-martyr-swords. html+bhai+fauja+singh+american+sikhs&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us it seems sadly that fauja singh was the martyr who fell under the spell of these frauds. he seems to have been the only one that i am aware of. i hate to speak bad about our martyrs but it seems one had fallen victim to the spies of the falsehoods. it's a huge shame indeed. i will have to contact kamalla rose kaur and ask her what she may know about the bond for further information which i shall post here later. http://www.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/discussion.nsf/0/18CA88FE9B053C5587256A5B004F9273?

I look forward to starting the set on anger management next week and seeing where it takes me. Funny thing is I have a tape of Yogi Bhajan teaching the anger management set that I had bought like a year ago. I have been going to a chiropractor who does muscle testing and works on the spirit body as well and all I ever got from those sessions was more of a band aid fix. Yogi Bhajan and all the other Masters and Yogis and if it weren't for services like yours I would feel really in the dark and disconnected. I just bring back the vision of Paul with Baba Siri Chand and the smile on his face and joy in his heart and I am comforted. Your words about me not being myself rang so true and it is one of my resolutions and intentions to live out as the person I am. With lots of love and gratitude. clarity and joy it would bring me at such an impossibly hard time. yet my mind has the tendency to bring me back to the pain and the torture of Paul's life here on earth.have a greater trust in how things are and am allowing things to flow as they come. Thank you again. I feel very grateful to have your guidance in my life.in reality I have a pretty strong navel even though you wouldn't know it by looking at me... California I felt so calm and at peace after our session. Thank you for the call. I try to go back to the heart breath to realize Baba Siri Chand took that all away from him.and from me. all is well. Someone else suggested it was my navel and that's why I focused on that for a while...and now there is only peace where the pain was..I realize now my solar plexus and diaphragm have been giving me signals for months that something is wrong and no one had been able to determine what it was until my session with you. And when I think back to it I find that comfort and peace... In my session you mentioned I am blocked at my solar plexus. I never ever expected when I called that you and Baba Siri Chand would take me on such a journey and could never have imagined the peace. as that wasn't really made distinct in our teacher's training book. I have been using the Tratakam meditation to help me focus and release. or at least that I am holding a lot of emotion there. I feel very connected to Baba Siri Chand. like the hole that had been my heart was full and complete and at peace..who knew it would be so handy! I am very hopeful and excited to see where all this will take me. however frightening that may be. I didn't know that the solar plexus is considered a separate entity from the navel chakra and the heart chakra. I am so grateful.. but last night I got Guru Rattana's book on the Chakras and started reading about the solar plexus and could relate to so many of the symptoms of not having it balanced. you are such a blessing! ..

Sat Nam, Is it OK for a man to do the Adi Shakti meditation or is it only for women? Thanks for your answers Yes, To relate to the feminine power is vital for all off us, since the universe is a polarity of masculine and feminine; both are in us and in everything. One could say that the imbalance of fear and disrespect of the feminine is the root cause of our many current global crises. Yogi Bhajan taught about this. I meditated with this mantra to overcome my fears and heal my past traumas regarding women. Yogi Bhajan suggested I start a family, which freaked me out since I was very insecure about my abilities to handle the commitments of long term relationship. I felt an immediate relief after one sitting that I vowed to do it daily until the first night of the marriage I wanted. That ended up being a year. It really worked for me, easing the fears and building a healthy respect for the feminine. Meditating on that mantra brought me an amazing wife with whom I am happier than ever after 25 years.

Print Preface to Soul Answer Earth Passages… Published May 11, 2006 #000 Recently, Mother Earth tapped me on the shoulder and started talking to me. Really! You can imagine my surprise! She said that she has lots to tell us, and that she would like me to dictate her messages for all of us. So, here she is introducing herself and starting to give us extraordinary information for our special lives here, participating together in her gracious planet! This will be the first in a series of her messages. Enjoy! MOTHER PLANET INTRODUCES HERSELF! As we know, Earth has a soul of her own! Sometimes she is called Gaia,sometimes Adi Shakti--as primal Earth energy, and sometimes just good ol' Mother Nature. Some maintain devotion to her through the figure of Our Lady of Guadalupe and other spiritual symbols. But whatever you call her, she is always feminine, the receptive aspect of creation that forms our wonderful home planet and the energetic processes that motivate Life and Change here. If we thought about it, we would have so much respect for her--all her beauty, all her power, all her supporting capability are so enormously sophisticated! Although scientists try so doggedly to understand her secrets, her working mechanisms are so profound that science in all its avenues is just now literally scratching the surface of her mystery. And her mystery is that she is not just mud and water and air and chemicals necessary to the formation of life as we know it. No indeed! She is so much more! Mother Earth is a powerhouse of connective, conscious energy! She not only "knows" in a most profound way "when you are sleeping and when you are awake," but she as her vivacious energy field is the source of our dreams--our lives on this fair planet being essentially a dream when viewed from absolute Reality. She is the active medium or milieu of energy that provides the base or the fundamental potion for the existence of all on this big blue planet. When we consult astrology, we are looking at how the magnetic pull of other very far away planets in our shared solar system affect our individual energy fields. In fact, when we do that, we calculate Earth as a stable given base line (by our birth time and place here) that is always the same in these calculations. So now, begin to contemplate the enormous effect that our Mother Earth's energy field has on us. It is us! It is all that is around, above and below us! And she is fully Conscious. That is why Yogi Bhajan said that if we call on her, she has the capacity to take our cares away. But Mother is in a time of transition. That means that we ALL are in transition. She is "changing her gown," which could also be thought of as revamping her intrinsic flowing nature right now. Her magnetic field, or you could call it her essential operative energy is shifting its nature right now. And we all--humans, plants, animals, seas, atmosphere and land are all part of that grand shift. And when Mother makes that shift, all will be different--including us! Lakes and mountains may be in different places, ocean floors may develop strange new rifts, species of birds and other animals may be different, and so on. But for us, we humans, our consciousness--our awareness, our operating systems, our memories, the way we do things, what is important to us and so on will be different! And the path to becoming different is absolute and profound CHANGE. That is change to a level that has not been experienced by humankind in all of human memory. Change is never really easy for humans. We like to rely on what we already know--habits that get us through. But this process of change will leave our habits worthless. On the other hand, the greatest assets that humans have are adaptability, will andconsciousness. So, take heart! We will be exploring Mother's transformations and developing our ability to swim right along with her changes in this upcoming series of Mother Planet Passages in a number of our Soul Answer Newsletters. The crux is that whatever doesn't move with Mother's changes will eventually be thrown off as debris. So, with that ultimatum, this series of articles will be devoted to learning how to swim with Mom! We'll explore more next time. Your loving Mother!

On Mother's Day, May 11th, 2003, our Beloved Teacher, Siri Ingh Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji wrote to us: My Dear One in Divine, Sat Nam. Greetings in the Name of God, the Light of every Soul. I am writing this letter very personally to you with all my love and affection on Mother's Day. On this Mother's Day, let us accept Mother Earth as our real mother. She needs our help, respect and understanding. God created everything in balance. There is no difference between a grain of sand and a mountain. One day there shall be unbearable consequences for little mistakes that abuse Mother Earth. A Mother freely teaches values and virtues to every child for their prosperity, peace of mind, and consciousness. Let us honour our Mother for our own integrity and happiness. May we learn to serve and protect our Mother Earth with an open heart. My love and prayers are with you and your family now and forever. In the Name of the Cosmos which prevails through everyBody and the Holy Nam which holds the world. Humbly yours, Yogi Bhajan. Print CONNECTING TO UNIVERSAL MOTHER! Perhaps the rarest of mudras in tatva yoga this is a complete body mudra This is the mudra that connects to the Universal Mother.

Long Ma http://www.soulanswer.com/parmatma.html Extraordinary Experiences which set me on a Search for Truth By Parmatma Kaur Leviton Experience is the foundation of knowledge and it changes civilizations. Experience is sovereign. My life would have been very different if I had not gone out of my body at the age of eighteen into another realm of existence. In this other realm, the air was love. The water and trees were more vibrant and radiant than anywhere on Earth and the river of water was a clear clear light crystal blue. It was real. It existed separate from our minds' constructs, separate from any projection of my subconscious. The air was sparkling. Time did not exist. I understood profoundly in those moments that time does not exist. This was not some kind of deductive process, this was direct knowing and experience. When I returned to my body I told my friends, "time does not exist and love is a frequency, it is a vibration. I never heard anyone say either of those things before that and not for another twenty years when I came in contact with the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. I came back into my body when I was no longer able to maintain the frequency. Otherwise I instantly forgot about my life on earth and would have wanted to stay there. Anyone on this earth would have wanted to stay there forever. There was no want for anything and no reason for desire to arise. It was pure existence. In this energy I know that the worst criminal minds or most traumatized beings of all times would be delighted to be there and would heal in an instant. My life on earth was just a small inconsequential thing that could be waved away with a flick of the wrist. I was unable to find anyone who understood my experiences except a man who was a student of Swami Sachetananda, Bill Kotzwinkle, a writer of children's books and co-writer of the screenplay for E.T. He was the only adult that I felt safe with letting know what was going on with me and what lived on an ashram. He also directed me to read Carl Jung. Previous to that I hitchhiked around a lot. acknowledge it. as solid as any known thing.had happened. Then a huge magnetic force of energy went up my spine and I found myself going out my forehead and then hurtling through a brilliant purple tunnel with a green pulsating light around it. claim it and to grow into it. studied a little art. It seemed like it was . The only way I can describe it would be to say it was as if I had a thick column of iron filings along my spine and a huge magnet the size of a refrigerator came along. I had absolutely no control. I had two major experiences. This was a near-death experience. yoga or no yoga. I believe that if this type of experience is going to happen in this lifetime. He was the only one I was inspired to talk to." When I think about this now I realize I was being very intuitive and also realize how extremely acute the intuition is in our early years. Some people think that kundalini yoga creates these intense experiences. The second experience brought me in contact with other beings in that realm and directly with Guru Gobind Singh. This is an important point because there is still a lot of confusion in the west about kundalini yoga. " this man is writing beyond ego. I was lazing around in my bedroom and sensing this beautiful energy which I responded to by lying down and enjoying it. In the first one. I did not know that he knew anything about yoga. Everything was as radiant and alive and beyond the limits of my imagination or words to describe. It took many years to get grounded and find my direction. kundalini yoga balances the energy. We are talking about a force which felt like fifty pounds of horizontal pressure simultaneous with fifty pounds of vertical pressure going up my spine. I knew nothing about yoga. But as for this first experience. but it was not instigated by trauma. Every breath was like a feeling of love beyond anything I had ever felt. What I had been doing that day was walking in the woods when I was overcome by a feeling of oneness with all things just how I remembered feeling as a child. It was eighteen more years before I began doing kundalini yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. a little music. I knew he knew. chakras and strengthens the nervous system in general and will help ground the energy after such an experience. I do not remember much more until I found myself hovering over my body trying to breath myself back into my body. I touched the writing and thought. It was Wha-Hey-Guru. I found myself on the bank of a beautiful clear-flowing river. then it will happen no matter what we are doing. did two years of university. did development work in Africa for two years and spent ten years on "The Farm" following the teachings of Steven Gaskin and Suzuki Roshi. He was able to communicate with me and to give me appropriate yoga exercises to do to get me back into good alignment with my body. This is incorrect. I had not been doing yoga at this time in my life. feel worthy of it. make sense out of the experience. and starting at the bottom of the spine pushed energy from the base to the top of my head and my soul/subtle body went shooting out my third eye point. Everything was as real as real could possibly be. On the contrary. I knew from reading his writing in a newspaper. I do not know how to explain her presence there. It was as if words did not exist and even thought did not exist per se. In this realm I walked across the vibrant ground conscious of my breath as being a way to feel the love. We fell off chairs laughing sometimes and people would joke. the capital and a University town was a small-town but yet refined and sophisticated experience. it did not seem strange to us. We already knew somehow that we did not need to use words. I had some sense that they were Tibetan Llamas and that they told me to study kundalini yoga. New Brunswick.about an hour of hovering and I finally came back in through my heart chakra. Every inhale was love. the beauty was indescribable and with every breath I felt love like humans do not feel and do not know exists. that this was the mother reality to all other realities. People looked like cartoon characters to us and in high school everyone looked like a grown-up insecure version of the child we remembered them to be. I did not give this phenomena a moment's notice. we were always together and had been in the same classroom since childhood. and people in highschool didn't know us apart sometimes. I dismissed my life on earth as trivial and dismissed it in an instant. Our highschool life is one blur of laughter. It was as if the first experience created a pathway. let them sit on the floor. What our classmates remember of us is that we were to be found almost every day doubled over in the hallway laughing with our books flying in all directions. There are no English words or probably no words at all to describe it. I had not a care in the world. it never registered as a phenomena. On earth. The second experience was different. it just was. Thoughts were not a formed thing. There was just a knowing between us. Life on earth did not occupy our minds. I walked towards a huge solid beautiful castle. We were able to look in each others eyes to share thoughts. On the shore of this river of crystalline water and the shoreline of true exposure to life beyond. Growing up in Fredericton. I laid down and went through the same purple tunnel with a rim of green pulsing light without any huge sensations in my spine -out my third eye as before finding myself on the same riverbank. She walked confidently and knowingly beside me. All of a sudden I was with my best friend. I have no idea what transpired in that realm in that first experience except for having a very clear feeling of timelessness and being by that beautiful stream of water and radiant trees. The fact that we were living in this new type of existence did not occupy our minds. We knew everyone. except "Wha Hey Guru". there was no objective thought or reservation of thought. We knew in those moments that this was authentic reality. I have some sense that I had a conversation with someone while I was there. To keep from peeing my pants I sometimes would throw myself against a wall and use it to lean on and slowly move downward until I was sitting on the floor as my friend would skip with her legs crossed to the nearest bathroom usually leaving me with a pile of books on or beside me in complete disarray. There was nothing to keep us from laughing as we skipped and ran towards a castle. " don't give them chairs. When I came back I knew a lot about yoga which I had not read anywhere." Our teachers were kind and patient . And today when I look back on that. As we went by them I was conscious that I was on a different frequency than them and I felt one hundred percent confident. The guards continued to walk in a perfectly square formation without blinking or noticing us one single iota. We scampered by and quickly into the castle. Possibly it is what it feels like when you have no subconscious whatsoever. A beam of love went from her to me. it had a different quality. There were women with radiant deep-robin-blue dresses on and as they danced in circles and patterns. But then I thought better. Running carefree towards the castle.to us but probably only because we both made good marks. The swirled air caught the attention of one women who looked up and looked in my eyes. My friend went on to another room and I never saw her again. I never felt anything so wonderful before or since and I am reminded now as I write this of the writings in The Guru when they speak of the "nectar of the eyes". I did not want to think the thought so I did not allow myself to actually think the thought. I absolutely knew that this love was not just for me.there was only knowing. I could have touched my flesh and saw that is was as real as I know flesh to be. But thought was not thought as we experience it here . It was . It was as if I had some precognitive ability which took up space/time in my mind which made it so I could manage every thought. I am glad I chose not to think the thought because it would have created a vibration of doubt and insecurity so I may not have been able to get by the guards. But I had no thought to do this. I was in it. When I looked into my friends eyes and saw that she was completely and innocently confident that we could and would just happily run by them into the castle that I decided not to think the thought. it was like watching a kaleidoscope. We walked into a large room with a high ceiling and a thick roughly-hewn wooden floor like I have seen on old ships. seemed slowed down but only in retrospect. We were near the top of the castle where a square wooden deck jutted out and contained the guards. There was also an all-pervading and overriding feeling of love from him but it was different. I bent down and opened a wooden square on the floor which had a latch on it. I was locked into this eyemeld for a little while but then I looked up and approximately twenty feet away from me was a man with a sword with whom I then locked eyes. But she does not have a memory of the experience in the ethers. I knew that they would not notice us because they were on a different wavelength. For example. I put my hand down into the air and the air swirled with tiny sparkles of ionized energy. At the time it was normal. this was love given to everyone and everything. if we can call it that. I believe we were in the second level of ethers. I was thinking of thinking of hesitating when I saw four guards with rifles on their shoulders moving quickly in a square formation. To my delight I was able to see down into a room that looked like it was about forty feet high. thought. I can not remember why I put my hand there. It was coming from a completely neutral place. I was not questioning anything. After awhile I went into fear as I looked at the blood and I lost the frequency that sustained me and kept me in this realm.y. This was not just my interpretation.

This experience was the one thing that I had to hold onto for decades when the way was not clear.I knew the difference between a dream where you are projecting the elements of your own subconscious as opposed to being on the astral planes." By the time in my life when I had these two experiences where I went out of the electromagnetic field into the ethers . I had been having out-of-body experiences ever since I can remember.

Even though it seems today like these books are farfetched . " You Forever. I came back through my heart chakra just like before.

I will attempt to educate the public and clear confusion and doubt in the minds of readers. Guru Ji always worshipped one almighty God. Just because He was born in a Hindu family doesn't mean that he was a Hindu. Guru Ji’s original lines are these: “Mahan Kaal. The next lines say this: “Eh Bidh Karat Tapaseya Bhaeyo. (Ang 1136) I am not a Hindu. This topic is quite deep and will require multiple parts in a series to explore. fasting and following what Quran says makes you a Muslim. firmly practice and live by its principles and be actively involved within the Sikh and ambient communities in all spheres of life to counter this nefarious influence. and preached the message of One God. My love is with the Lotus feet of God. How can you be a Muslim if you don’t fast. How can you be a Hindu if you don’t wear Janju. neither on Vishnu. So this is one of the idiotic questions of RSS.and I'll try to counter their misleading rhetoric. He did everything first then taught Sikhs to do it in essence practicing what he preached. At the end of the day. I am dust of his Lotus feet. They are foolish. Guru Ji always worshipped one God and taught Sikhs to do the same. This is what Gurbani says about Hindus worshipping stones: The blind ignorant ones stray in doubt and . The Hindu is sightless. "There is no Hindu. Guru Ji rejected the idea of wearing Janju (piece of thread) at young age and later didn't take any rounds around the fire when He married Mata Sulakhni Ji. he established the## a#u th# ority (of his doctrines) and started a religion. I do not perform Hindu worship services. Kaal Ka Aaradhi” Which means that Guru Ji worshipped the greatest of great power. Whatever Guru Nanak Ji taught He practiced it first. # # In the ıworld.

(Ang 875) I do not make pilgrimages to Mecca. God is the death of death. we all should know that Guru Nanak Dev Ji never accepted any principle of Hinduism nor Islam. nor am I a Muslim. Guru Ji taught Sikhs to believe in one God. (Ang 1159) 2) The RSS is saying that Guru Gobind Singh Ji worshipped Kali Devi on Hemkunt Parbat where Guru Ji meditated for a long time? The truth is that Guru Ji never ever worshipped any idols of Hinduism. Dve Te Eek Roop Hve Gaeyo” Guru Ji is saying that “By meditating upon God’s name I became one with God like a glass of water in a big ocean. nor do I worship at Hindu sacred shrines. nor do I offer the Muslim prayers. which is death of death meaning God. no Muslim" meaning that no one is born Hindu nor a Muslim because what one does makes him Hindu or Muslim. 1) RSS says that Guru Nanak Dev Ji was a Hindu because he was born in a Hindu family? First of all. Your character makes you a person. the Hindu religious scholars. (Ang 1136) I do not perform Hindu worship services. RSS is changing these lines and trying to convince Sikhs that they are part of Hinduism. Guru Ji started a new religion. Sikhism.

He is my protector. All of their Gods are represented as idols and images. Worshipping stones and believing in more than one God makes you a Hindu. (Ang 1136) I have abandoned both the Pandits. I am not be a scholar of Sikhism but will endeavor to present content as accurately as possible. RSS is saying this: “Mahan Kaal Kalka Aaradhi” Kalka is name of Hindu Goddess Kali Devi but Guru Ji never said anything like this. This is what Gurbani says about Hinduism. RSS is not using Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s lines accurately. to learn about Sikhism. I do not hear them and do not recognize them. I serve the One Lord. Hindu is he who follows what Hinduism says such as worshipping stones etc. If you are born in a Hindu family but you have never done anything like a Hindu and you oppose Hinduism then you wouldn't be a Hindu. Mahan Kaal means “Death” and Kaal Ka means “Of Death” and Aaradhi means “Worshipped”. (Guru Gobind Singh) This clearly proves that Guru Ji worshipped One God and the only way to worship God is to meditate upon His true name. understand it. Bhai Gurdas Ji says: ####ı#ı #ı# . The spiritual teacher is wiser than both of them. If you detect errors or mistakes please let me know. worship 330 million Gods and believe in castes? Guru Ji taught equality and gave equal rights to women. I am encompassed in his glory” Guru Gobind Singh Ji also said: I do not accept Ganesha as important. the Supreme Lord. Guru Nanak Ji never ever worshipped stones. the Muslim has only one eye. So Guru Ji worshipped the death of death. I do not meditate on Krishna. which is the almighty power of one God.

Bhagavan Kalki seems to be cut from the same cloth as Yogi Bhajan. They would have made quite a team. Here are a couple of gems gleaned from the article. "One of the faster growing spiritual movements from the 1990s until recently is the so-called Kalki Deeksha movement, known since 2002 as the "Oneness Movement" (O.M.). Actually, as the evidence from quite disenchanted former higher-ups will show, this movement is a gigantic scam based on corrupt greed and empty promises by its heads, "Bhagavan and Amma," and tragic naiveté and New Age superstition by too many (but certainly not all) of its followers. " "Within a short time, because of legal issues surrounding the name "Kalki," Vijaykumar re-titled himself "Bhagavan" to amplify his status as "the Lord God Incarnate," the one who is here (or so he claims) to grant mass enlightenment to all of humanity by year 2012 by first fully enlightening 64,000 people. How will he do this? Through his alleged capacity for shaktipat, Bestowal of Divine Power, and deeksha, Initiation or Blessing, "the transfer of Divine energy." In his penchant for pseudoscientific jargon, Bhagavan Kalki calls enlightenment a "neurobiological brain-shift event" which happens as a result of this blessing or "transfer of Grace" from him, his wife, his close disciples, and anyone who is willing to pay the big bucks for a 21-day course and other costs to become a certified "deeksha-giver." For many years until recently, the cost for the basic course was $7,000, not counting certain other costs. " Kalki's former chief missionary to the West, Freddy Nielsen, now deeply regrets having lured tens of thousands of people in 15 countries into the Kalki Deeksha Oneness Movement. Nielsen reports: "[Kalki] said that he is the first full incarnation of God in more than 20,000 years, and if mankind will not cooperate with him, it cannot get enlightened and will therefore die as a species." Yet, as Nielsen and others have revealed, the so-called Bhagavan / "Lord" is a chronically rude, lying, manipulating, avaricious and arrogant authoritarian who, along with his wife and other accomplices, has schemed to exploit humanity under the pretext of enlightening them. It is for these reasons that most of the leading longtime disciples have left this scoundrel who poses as the "Divine Incarnation" of our era. Gurmukh Kaur is an "honored guest" every year at Pujya Swami Ji's ashram in ram julla India where she performs hindu poojas with this swami. Look at the photos.

The object of these practices is to combine the Sikh faith with Hinduism; to defang, neuter and completely destroy Sikhi.

Anand Sanskar (Lit. Joyful Ceremonial : Sikh Matrimonial Ceremony and Conventions) Article XVIII a. A Sikh man and woman should enter wedlock without giving thought to the prospective spouse's caste and descent. b. A Sikh's daughter must be married to a Sikh. c. A Sikh's marriage should be solemnized by Anand marriage rites. d. Child marriage is taboo for Sikhs. e. When a girl becomes marriageable, physically, emotionally and by virtue of maturity of character, a suitable Sikh match should be found and she be married to him by Anand marriage rites. f. Marriage may not be preceded by engagement ceremony. But if an engagement ceremony is sought to he held, a congregational gathering should be held and, after offering the Ardas before the Guru Granth Sahib, a kirpan, a steel bangle and some sweets may be tendered to the boy. g. Consulting horoscopes for determining which day or date is auspicious or otherwise for fixing the day of the marriage is a sacrilege. Any day that the parties find suitable by mutual consultation should be fixed. h. Putting on floral or gilded face ornamentation, decorative headgear or red thread band round the wrist, worshipping of ancestors, dipping feet in milk mixed with water, cutting a berry or jandi (Prosopis spieigera) bushes, filling pitcher, ceremony of retirement in feigned displeasure, reciting couplets, performing havans (Sacrificial fire), installing vedi (a wooden canopy or pavilion under which Hindu marriages are performed), prostitutes' dances, drinking liquor, are all sacrileges. i. The marriage party should have as small a number of people as the girl's people desire. The two sides should greet each other singing sacred hymns and finally by the Sikh greetings of Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh. j. For marriage, there should be a congregational gathering in the holy presence of Guru Granth Sahib. There should be hymn-singing by ragis or by the whole congregation. Then the girl and the boy should he made to sit facing the Guru Granth Sahib. The girl should sit on the left side of the boy. After soliciting the congregation's permission, the master of the marriage ceremony (who may be a man or a woman) should bid the boy and girl and their parents or guardians to stand and should offer the Ardas for the commencement of the Anand marriage ceremony. The officiant should then apprise the boy and the girl of the duties and obligations of conjugal life according to the Guru's tenets. He should initially give to the two an exposition of their common mutual obligations. He should tell them how to model the husband-wife relationship on the love between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul in the light of the contents of circumambulation (Lavan) hymns in the Suhi measure (rag) section (The bulk of the Guru Granth (the Sikh holy book ) is divided on the basis of the ragas (measures) of the Indian classical music. Suhi is one of the ragas featuring in the Guru Granth Sahib) of the Guru Granth Sahib. He should explain to them the notion of the state of "a single soul in two bodies" to be achieved through love and make them see how they may attain union with the Immortal Being discharging duties and obligations of the householders' life. Both of them, they should be told, have to make their conjugal union a means to the fulfillment of the purpose of the journey of human existence; both have to lead clean and Guru-oriented lives through the instrumentality of their union. He should then explain to the boy and girl individually their respective conjugal duties as husband and wife. The bridegroom should be told that the girl's people having chosen him as the fittest match from among a whole lot, he should regard his wife as his better half, accord to unflinching love and share with her all that he has. In all situations, he should protect her person and honour, he should be completely loyal to her and he should show much respect and consideration for her parents and relations as for his own. The girl should be told that she has been joined in matrimony to her man in the hallowed presence of the Guru Granth Sahib and the congregation. She should ever harbour for him deferential solicitude, regard him the lord master of her love and trust; she should remain firm in her loyalty to him and serve him in joy and sorrow and in every clime (native or foreign) and should show the same regard and consideration to his parents and relatives as she would, to her own parents and relatives. The boy and girl should bow before the Guru Granth Sahib to betoken their acceptance of these instructions. Thereafter, the girl's father or the principal relation should make the girl grasp one end of the sash which the boy is wearing over his shoulders and the person in attendance of the Guru Granth Sahib should recite the matrimonial circumambulation stanzas {Lavan of the fourth Guru in the Suhi musical measure section of the Guru Granth Sahib } (Pp. 773-4). After the conclusion of the recitation of each of the stanzas, the boy, followed by the girl holding the end of the sash, should go round the Guru Granth Sahib while the ragis or the congregation sing out the recited stanza. The boy and girl, after every circumambulation, should bow before the Guru Granth Sahib in genuflexion, lowering their forehead to touch the ground and then stand up to listen to the recitation of the next stanza.There being four matrimonial circumambulation stanzas in the concerned hymn, the proceeding will comprise four circumambulations with the incidental singing of the stanza.After the fourth circumabulation, the boy and girl should, after bowing before the Guru Granth Sahib, sit down at the appointed place and the Ragis or the person who has conducted the ceremony should recite the first five and the last stanza of the Anand Sahib. Thereafter, the Ardas should he offered to mark the conclusion of the Anand marriage ceremony and the sacred pudding, distributed'. k. Persons professing faiths other than the Sikh faith cannot be joined in wedlock by the Anand Karaj ceremony. l. No Sikh should accept a match for his/her son or daughter for monetary consideration. m. If the girl's parents at any time or on any occasion visit their daughter's home and a meal is ready there, they should not hesitate to eat there. Abstaining from eating at the girl's home is a superstition. The Khalsa has been blessed with the boon of victuals and making others eat by the Guru and the Immortal Being. The girl's and boy's people should keep accepting each other's hospitality, because the Guru has joined them in relationship of equality (Prem Sumarag). n. If a woman's husband has died, she may, if she so wishes, finding a match suitable for her, remarry. For a Sikh man whose wife has died, similar ordinance obtains. o. The remarriage may be solemnized in the same manner as the Anand marriage. p. Generally, no Sikh should marry a second wife if the first wife is alive. q. A baptised ought to get his wife also baptised. https://causes-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/US/Ox/8t/bR/WD/G8/zT/GhJ.jpg Please read this post from Tejinder Singh Dear all, It is time for Sikhs to see beyond Keshas and Beards and turbans and not mistake anyone with these insignias as SIKH. Such persons with their lunatic psyche cannot be termed as Sikhs. They are fence sitters who took sikh shape but practiced "TANTRA' under the fake Singh Sahib Yoji Bhajan. Even the SGPC under Tohra were taken in by their white looks and sikh attire to be Sikhs. Yogi Bhajan also had his days and enjoyed patronage of SGPC. He routinely toured India to booster his image by getting himself photographed in groups of his yoga disciples to mutual benefit of Akalis and Yogi Bhajan. I never had any doubt that Yogi Bhajan was simply another 'Yogi' who are roaming on this earth, but he had a mission to become a Guru himself by invoking the name and style of Sikh Gurus and Sikh look-alike. Neither Sikh Gurus or Sikhs in the past histroy ever practiced Yoga. Guru Nanak Dev ji defeated the Yogis and Sidhs in their discourses at Nanak Mata, Sumer Parbat and Achal Batala. Details above this discourses find place in Guru Nanak Dev ji's bani " SIDH GOST' ( Ramkali Mahla 1 - page 938) in Sri Guru Granth Sahib JI. All Sikhs must read this bani to know the views of Guru Nanak Dev Ji about yoga and yogis. Guru Nanak Dev ji has rejected all forms of Yoga, Tantra- Mantra etc. Mere repetition of a particular Name is also a form of Yoga besides dhayanam, tractam etc., where a yogi is ordained to concentrate in between the eye brows, or three inches above the eyebrows or at the tip of nose etc. There is no place of 'Yoga' in Sikhism, since it is an intergral part of Hinduism and practiced through the Shakti Peeth and Pitanjali Peeth, which has its bases in Haridwar and other parts of India. We must shed this phobia now and Sikhs must distance themselves from these imposters who are their to harm and tarnish the image of Sikhism, its principles, culture and practices. It is a wake up call for all Sikhs to rise from the deep slumber in which we are and learn the true Gursikhi of Guru Nanak Dev ji and not ape the Yoga and its followers may be in the garb of Sikhs. What are they bowing to? This is not just one rogue 3HO wedding. I knew both Tej Kaur and Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa (the ministers at this wedding). Hari Jiwan is featured at 3HO's Summer Solstice gathering teaching yoga and appears in many many 3HO videos. Hari Jiwan never talks about God or the Siri Guru Granth Sahib or even about Sikhism for that matter. I had no idea that he and Tej, who are divorced by the way but still work together on yogo teacher's training courses with HJ's much younger wife, had gone so far into woo woo never never land. I am appalled after watching this video. HJ always bragged that he had done more tantric courses with Yogi Bhajan than any other person in the world. I guess now it really shows the damaging effect these tantric yoga sessions had on both Hari Jiwan and Tej. Wow, both him and Tej are completely out there!

Only he reclaimed those mystical techniques and practices from the Tibetan Lama Lilan Po whose whereabouts and monastery are not known to anyone except Yogi Bhajan and he will never tell. And he did not impart these techniques to the Indians, but he has reserved these Tantric lollipops acquired from Lama Lilan Po only for Americans of 3HO."

The contention of Yogi Bhajan's theorists that with the exception of celibacy Patanjali's Yoga doctrines are identical with those of Guru Nanak. have mercy on me. is absolutely incorrect. A system of breath control ideas are found even in Katha and Svetesvara Upanishads. It may be noted that Guru Nanak visited all the centers of Yogis throughout India and not only convinced them of the error of the Yoga system but under his influence most of them gave up Yoga practices. one will. I would therefore first make clear the fundamental metaphysical differences between Guru Nanak's conception of God and that of Patanjali yoga. Summarizing the essential Hesychastic prayer. is involved in the mystical meditations of Sufis called dhikr (zikr) and Simrin of Sikhism. Guru Nanak also made Babar and his Ministers to submit to his moral and spiritual sovereignty. called svas svas Nam japna. take pains to rationalize the Mumbo Jumbo Tantra and Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan with the hodge-podge and messy knowledge of Sikhism of their teacher. In Panani's time the word 'yoga' had attained technical meaning and he distinguished this root yug samadhau (yug in the sense of concentration) from yugis yoge (root yugir in the sense of connecting). and through debate and spiritual influence he scored victory over them and made them submit to his ideology.3 The Hesychastic monks to whom Yoga was unknown developed through their meditations similar techniques. omphaloskespsis and indefinite repetition of the Prayer of Jesus: 'Lord Jesus Christ. Var 20 / 15 Yogi Bhajan's theorists of Kundalini and Guru Yoga on finding the word "Yoga" used in Guru Nanak's hymns in a number of different contexts. jump to the untenable and incorrect conclusion that Guru Nanak's teachings are in perfect accord with the Tantric Yoga taught by their Master. and this does not mean that God and the Gurus practiced the absurd asanas now taught by Yogi Bahjan. fixing the eyes on the center of the abdomen (navel) trying to discover the place of the heart. As will be shown subsequently. They are the natural outcome of a continuous disciplined mediation. bowing the head. particularly the right-hand men and the left-hand women of Yogi Bhajan. Siddhas. Thus the third type of hymn in which the term Yoga is used are those in which various systems and doctrines are severely criticized by the Gurus. Son of God. But this involvement of the science of breath in various systems has nothing to do with Yoga asanas. Bhai Gurdas tells us that Guru Nanak met all Yogis. in harmony with the rhythm of respiration. Chapter III Guru Nanak's Absolute God and Patanjali's Ishvara "The word Yoga was originally applied to control horses and then it began to be applied for control of flying passions. if one perseveres day and night in this ." The senses are the horses and whatever they grasp are their objects.' By sitting in darkness. The science of breath had attracted the notice of many early Upanishads. the word "Yogi" is used in Sikh scriptures even for God and the Guru. and has been found even in some practices of Christian mystics. and embryonic respiration in Taoism. I would now like to make it clear that the major differences between Patanjali's Yoga and Guru Nanak's Darshana (philosophy) begin with clear-cut differences in Guru Nanak's conception of God and Patanjali's conception of God. Not only that. Maha Tantric Yogi Bhajan. and shall bring out sharp differences between the various Yoga cults and Sikhism as authenticated by Guru Granth Sahib and Sikh history. The third type of hymns in which the word Yoga is mentioned are those which sum up the debates the Guru held with Yogis of various centers. All the intelligent inmates of 3HO. This acknowledgement of Ishvara in Yoga and its denial in Samkya are the main theoretical differences between the two. it is not called Ishvara and it is not Ishvara of Patanjali. very probably a patron of the yogic sects. Ishvara is only an archetype of the yogin—a macroyogin."5 When Tantric Yoga theorists of Yogi Bhajan seek to identify the Raja Yoga of Pantanjali with the philosophy and mystical doctrines of Guru Nanak. introduce it—your mind. The concept of Ishvara in which Patanjali and some other Hindu systems believe is absent in Sikhism. "As for you. As I have already indicated. which stand in the way of Yoga practices. Chapter IV Guru Nanak Totally Rejects Yoga Darshana Although the philosophical terminology of the ancient systems like Samkhya. Ishvara facilitates the attainment of liberation but does not directly grant it. Yoga Darshana was the supreme of the six Hindu systems and out of them he should accept it and become a supreme Yogi."9 In any case.

Harris has taken on the traditional theological beliefs about God and afterlife that motivate some to kill innocents. He goes further: "some propositions are so dangerous that it may even be ethical to kill people for believing them. he spares them the wars and the torture. He saves most of his venom for the Koran. it is good for your mind as well: it can make you "happy. it ends up transforming what is essentially an ecstatic emotional experience into a knowledge claim about the nature of reality.

The End of Faith is a rationalist jihad on jihadi theology. it's the theology stupid! Throughout Harris can barely curb his enthusiasm for George Bush's 'war on terror'. spirit-centered metaphysics continues to structure the worldview of ordinary people. while intuitive and certain knowledge of the 'absolute truth' of 'pure consciousness' is still the culturally hegemonic paradigm of knowledge and truth. But this bilious attack on faith – the aspect of the book which has received all the attention – only sets the stage for what seems to be his real goal: a defense. of the self that stands separate from the objects of its consciousness. but that he wants to convince us that they are the very height of rationality." James goes on to dismiss claims that such experiences can be thought of as revealing objective or verifiable truth: "mystical states… are absolutely authoritative over the individuals to whom they come. to bestow upon something the quality of being real or true. the first principle of all New Age beliefs. They believe that the ontological fallacy stems from the process of reification – "the ability of the brain to convert a concept into a concrete thing. he ends up endorsing fundamental New Age assumptions as rational alternatives to traditional religiosity. they carry with them a curious sense of authority.

He buys into the basic idea that what mystics 'see' in their minds actually has an ontological referent in the world outside their minds. Unfortunately Harris loads spiritual practices with metaphysical baggage. they assume. He scoffs at the physicalism of the mainstream of scientists who believe that our mental and spiritual lives are wholly dependent upon the workings of the brain. For someone studying to be a neuroscientist. He celebrates the growing popularity of western and eastern occult traditions. Hermetism and its magical Renaissance spawn (Hermeticism) and all the other Byzantine paths whereby man has sought the Other in every guise of its conception.

After denying that consciousness is a product of our physiology. The problem is not that Harris holds these beliefs. allowing the possibility of pan-psychism. I would have no argument with Harris if he were only recommending spiritualism as means for mindful relaxation. Harris believes that spiritual experiences are knowledge experiences which can "uncover genuine facts about the world". the feeling of having transcended time and space. This conviction itself becomes a source of validation of the objective reality of what they have seen: what they see in their minds. Non-mystics are under no obligation to acknowledge in mystical states a superior authority. Or to put it in the vocabulary he prefers. The goal is to "experience the world perfectly shorn of self… to lose the subject/object perception… to continue to experience the world. In all this Harris falls in to the trap that William James described in The Varieties of Religious Experience: "Mystical states seem to those who experience them to be also states of knowledge… as a rule. but without the feeling that there is a knower standing apart form the known. he tells us.

Christians and other religious minorities in India? Has their Hinduism prevented Tamil Tigers from conducting suicide bombings against the equally 'spiritual' Buddhists of Sri Lanka or the Buddhists from discriminating against the Tamils? Didn't Zen Buddhists actively and enthusiastically support Japan's ultra-nationalism in the brutal imperialist wars against China and Korea? There is a complex history of nationalism. He trots out the widely shared view that Abrahamic faiths encourage violence against man and nature. but this is untenable. Harris's effort to keep religious and mystical belief separate really comes unstuck in relation to the issue of violence. Harris tells us. Shedding one's 'I-ness' is a recipe for group-think and authoritarianism. Love and compassion will follow. while seeking spiritual shelter elsewhere. Even if one were to play along with Harris's badly flawed. resulting in the sensation of pure awareness which is incapable of drawing boundaries between the limited personal self and the external material world. is to sell out the rigourous materialist ideals which underpin science and are a vital weapon in the profoundly political battle against ignorance and violence. Violence and authoritarianism run deep in societies which worship at the altar of 'one-ness. see what the mystics see. as Harris reminds us repeatedly.

Just because we can study the neuro-physiology of mysticism in a scientific manner. Harris appears oblivious to the authoritarian implications of the one-ness he worships.

It is conceptualized as a coiled up serpent (literally, 'kundalini' in Sanskrit is 'that which is coiled.' Sanskrit kund, "to burn"; kunda, "to coil or to spiral"). In the classical literature of Kashmir Saivism kundalini is described in three different manifestations. The first of these is as the universal energy or para-kundalini. The second of these is as the energizing function of the body-mind complex or prana-kundalini. The third of these is as consciousness or shaktikundalini which simultaneously subsumes and intermediates between these two. Ultimately these three forms are the same but understanding these three different forms will help to understand the different manifestations of kundalini .[8] The path of Kundalini is said to proceed from the Muladhara Chakra at the lower end of the spinal column up to the Sahasara Chakra at the top of the head. But its awakening is not thought to be a physical occurrence; it consists exclusively of a development in consciousness. According to some sources, awakening of kundalini brings with it pure joy, pure knowledge and pure love.[4][9] The word 'Kundalini' can be traced to the Sanskrit word 'kundala', which means 'coiled'. Kundalini can therefore be used to refer to the latent energy within the human body which is constantly trying to manifest as our insight, power and bliss. [10] According to one source, the word kundalini literally means "the curl of the lock of hair of the beloved.".[11][12] It is a metaphor, a poetic way of describing the flow of energy and consciousness which already is said to exist within each person. The practices are said to enable the person to merge with or "yoke" the universal self. This merging of individual consciousness with the universal consciousness is said to create a "divine union" called "yoga".[13] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini_energy Kundalini (ku##alini, Sanskrit: ####### ) literally means coiled. In yoga, a "corporeal energy"[1] an unconscious, instinctive or libidinal force or Shakti, lies coiled at the base of the spine.[2][3][4] It is envisioned either as a goddess or else as a sleeping serpent, hence a number of English renderings of the term such as 'serpent power'. The kundalini resides in the sacrum bone in three and a half coils and has been described as a residual power of pure desire.[5] Kundalini is described as a sleeping, dormant potential force in the human organism.[6] It is one of the components of an esoteric description of man's 'subtle body', which consists of nadis (energy channels), chakras (psychic centres), prana (subtle energy), and bindu (drops of essence). Kundalini is described as being coiled up at the base of the spine, usually within muladhara chakra. The image given is that of a serpent coiled 3 and a half times around a smokey grey lingam. Each coil is said to represent one of the 3 gunas, with the half coil signifying transcendence. Through meditation, and various esoteric practices, such as laya-yoga,[7] and kriya yoga, the kundalini is awakened, and can rise up through the central nadi, called sushumna, that rises up inside or alongside the spine. The progress of kundalini through the different chakras leads to different levels of awakening and mystical experience, until the kundalini finally reaches the top of the head, Sahasrara chakra, producing an extremely profound mystical experience. Meaning A number of descriptions exist that attempt to describe exactly what the kundalini experience is. Sri Ramana Maharshi maintained that the kundalini energy is nothing but the natural energy of the Self, where Self is the universal consciousness (Paramatma) present in every being, and that the individual mind of thoughts cloaks this natural energy from unadulterated expression. Advaita teaches that Selfrealization, enlightenment, God-consciousness, nirvana and kundalini awakening are all the same thing, and self-inquiry meditation is considered a very natural and simple means of reaching this goal.[8] Swami Vivekananda described kundalini briefly in London during his lectures on Raja Yoga as follows: [9] "According to the Yogis, there are two nerve currents in the spinal column, called Pingala and Ida, and a hollow canal called Sushumna running through the spinal cord. At the lower end of the hollow canal is what the Yogis call the "Lotus of the kundalini". They describe it as triangular in form in which, in the symbolical language of the Yogis, there is a power called the kundalini, coiled up. When that kundalini awakes, it tries to force a passage through this hollow canal, and as it rises step by step, as it were, layer after layer of the mind becomes open and all the different visions and wonderful powers come to the Yogi. When it reaches the brain, the Yogi is perfectly detached from the body and mind; the soul finds itself free. We know that the spinal cord is composed in a peculiar manner. If we take the figure eight horizontally (#) there are two parts which are connected in the middle. Suppose you add eight after eight, piled one on top of the other, that will represent the spinal cord. The left is the Ida, the right Pingala, and that hollow canal which runs through the centre of the spinal cord is the Sushumna. Where the spinal cord ends in some of the lumbar vertebrae, a fine fibre issues downwards, and the canal runs up even within that fibre, only much finer. The canal is closed at the lower end, which is situated near what is called the sacral plexus, which, according to modern physiology, is triangular in form. The different plexuses that have their centres in the spinal canal can very well stand for the different "lotuses" of the Yogi." [edit] Etymology According to well-known teacher and translator Eknath Easwaran, kundalini means "the coiled power," a force which ordinarily rests at the base of the spine, described as being coiled there like a serpent.[10] According to Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda, the term "kundalini" is based on several words and has several meanings. The word ending with "i" indicates that it relates to the feminine principle and deals with a form of Shakti (energy) and Prakriti (nature).[11] "Kunda" is a hole or well into which all debris and rubbish is thrown. In time the rubbish loses its original form and disintegrates into a formless mesh in which the individual components are no longer recognizable. In a similar way, our impressions from earlier lives lie like an amorphous substance deep in the unconscious (Muladhara Chakra).[11] "Kundala" means the ring and is generally used to refer to an earring in Sanskrit. The other roots of kundalini are "kundala" the serpent, and "kala" the time or death. In Indian mythology Lord Vishnu rests on a thousand-headed snake and sends out the first vibration (Sphurna), from which the entire Universe evolves.[11] [edit] Awakening of the kundalini Yoga and Tantra propose that kundalini energy can be "awakened" by a guru (teacher), but body and spirit must be prepared by yogic austerities such as pranayama, or breath control, physical exercises, visualization, and chanting. The kundalini can also awaken as a result of doing hatha yoga or other forms of spiritual practice, and sometimes it can awaken spontaneously, for no obvious reason.[12] Kundalini can be awakened through the grace of a Siddha-Guru who awakens the kundalini shakti of his disciple through shaktipat, or blessing. A Siddha Guru is a spiritual teacher, a master, whose identification with the supreme Self is uninterrupted.[13] Like every form of energy one must also learn to understand spiritual energy. According to Hindu tradition, in order to be able to integrate this spiritual energy, a period of careful purification and strengthening of the body and nervous system is usually required beforehand.[11] Some schools of yoga also teach that the kundalini can be awakened through spiritual practices such as hatha yoga and meditation, rather than via shaktipat.[14] Additionally, spontaneous awakenings can occur, often triggered by intense personal experiences such as accidents, near death experiences, childbirth, emotional trauma and so on. Sometimes awakenings seem to occur for no obvious reason at all. Some sources attribute spontaneous awakenings to the "grace of God", or possibly to spiritual practice in past lives. The kundalini rises from muladhara chakra up a subtle channel at the base of the spine (called Sushumna), and from there to top of the head merging with the sahasrara, or crown chakra. When kundalini Shakti is conceived as a goddess, then, when it rises to the head, it unites itself with the Supreme Being (Lord Shiva). Then the aspirant becomes engrossed in deep meditation and infinite bliss.[15][16] The arousing of kundalini is said by some to be the one and only way of attaining Divine Wisdom. Self-Realization is said to be equivalent to Divine Wisdom or Gnosis or what amounts to the same thing: self-knowledge.[17] The awakening of the kundalini shows itself as "awakening of inner knowledge" and brings with itself "pure joy, pure knowledge and pure love."[11] [edit] Physical effects Physical effects are believed to be a sign of kundalini awakening by some,[18] but described as unwanted side effects pointing to a problem rather than progress by others.[11] According to a 1985 article by David T. Eastman in Yoga Journal, some of the more common signs and symptoms of an awakened kundalini include: * Involuntary jerks, tremors or shaking * Intense heat, especially as energy is experienced passing through the chakras * Spontaneous pranayama, asanas, mudras and bandhas * Visions or sounds at times associated with a particular chakra * Intense feelings of pleasure * Emotional purgings in which particular emotions become dominant for short periods of time.[19] Reports about the Sahaja Yoga technique of kundalini awakening suggest the practice can result in a cool breeze felt on the fingertips as well as on the fontanel bone area.[5][20] One study has measured a drop in temperature on the palms of the hands resulting from this technique.[18] [edit] Vedanta view on kundalini, Tantra and Sex Tantra is the worship of Shakti, the divine mother.[21] Shakti is also referred to as Prakriti, or primordial nature. To ensure that nature (Prakriti) would always maintain the connection to the divine original consciousness (Purusha), the force of attraction developed as an aspect of Prakriti. The desire for union and the striving for expansion are "natural"; they are intrinsic impulses of nature.[22] Other terms for Purusha and Prakriti are Shiva and Shakti. Shiva is the symbol for consciousness and the masculine principle, Shakti symbolizes energy and the feminine principle.[23] The meaning of Shiva and Shakti is sometimes misunderstood when they are looked upon as man and woman and their relation is regarded as sexual.[23] [edit] Comparisons with other religious systems [edit] Vajrayana Buddhism The tantras of Vajrayana manage a system which is very similar to the Indian systems of kundalini yoga, in that they too manage a series of subtle channels, subtle winds, wheels and subtle drops, and they refer to a force known as kandali which must be raised up the central channel. However, there are a number of differences. Firstly, the descriptions are mostly about 'red bodhicitta', that resides in the lower chakras, and 'white bodhicitta', that resides in the crown. The 'inner fire' is ignited, through practices such as Tummo, which causes all the winds in the body to enter and rise up the central channel. When the fire reaches the crown of the head, the white bodhicitta melts and flows down to the lower chakras, producing profound spiritual experiences of bliss and emptiness.[24] This practice of 'inner fire' is seen as a preliminary yoga to a further set of practices; obtaining the 'Illusory body', and obtaining the 'Clear Light', as well as practices such as dream yoga, and consciousness projection. [edit] Western interpretation Kundalini is considered an interaction of the subtle body along with chakra energy centers and nadis channels. Each chakra is said to contain special characteristics [25] and with proper training, moving kundalini energy 'through' these chakras can help express or open these characteristics. Sir John Woodroffe (pen name Arthur Avalon) was one of the first to bring the notion of kundalini to the West. As High Court Judge in Calcutta, he became interested in Shaktism and Hindu Tantra. His translation of and commentary on two key texts was published as The Serpent Power. Woodroffe rendered kundalini as "Serpent Power" for lack of a better term in the English language but "kundala" in Sanskrit means "coiled".[26] Western awareness of the idea of kundalini was strengthened by the Theosophical Society and the interest of the psychoanalyst Carl Jung (1875–1961)[2]. "Jung's seminar on kundalini yoga, presented to the Psychological Club in Zurich in 1932, has been widely regarded as a milestone in the psychological understanding of Eastern thought. Kundalini yoga presented Jung with a model for the development of higher consciousness, and he interpreted its symbols in terms of the process of individuation".[27] Sri Aurobindo was the other great authority scholar on Kundalini parallel to Sir John Woodroffe, with a somewhat different viewpoint, according to Mary Scott (who is herself a later day scholar on Kundalini and its physical basis) and was a member of the theosophical society.[28] Another populariser of the concept of kundalini among Western readers was Gopi Krishna. His autobiography is entitled Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy in Man.[29] According to one writer his writings influenced Western interest in kundalini yoga.[30] In the early 1930s two Italian scholars, Tommaso Palamidessi and Julius Evola, published several books with the intent of re-interpreting alchemy with reference to yoga.[31] Those works had an impact on modern interpretations of Alchemy as a mystical science. In those works, kundalini is called an Igneous Power or Serpentine Fire. Other well-known spiritual teachers who have made use of the idea of kundalini include Swami Rudrananda (Rudi), Yogi Bhajan, Osho, George Gurdjieff, Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda Radha who produced an English language guide of Kundalini Yoga methods, Swami Muktananda, Bhagawan Nityananda, Nirmala Srivastava (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi), Samael Aun Weor and Lord Sri Akshunna. [edit] New Age Kundalini references may commonly be found in a wide variety of derivative "New Age" presentations, such as Shirley MacLaine's, and is a catchword that has been adopted by many new religious movements. However, some commentators, such as transpersonal psychologist Stuart Sovatsky, think that the association of Yogic Sanskrit terminology (chakras, kundalini, mantras, etc.) with the superficiality of new-age rhetoric is unfortunate. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/28/health/nutrition/yoga-fans-sexual-flames-and-predictably- one of the world’s fastest-growing styles.

For over twenty years this has been "looked into" and they still try to hide behind such an excuse. Swamis have left SY over their discovering such truths about Muk and SY.

I appreciate your consideration in this way as it helps us be sensitive and responsive to how people may be feeling in light of the information you posted. I sent this to Lester because not only is he the CEO.\ The cold hard facts are. the fact that the check I sent GM. The only mention of money I offered anywhere was in "MY Story"." I tried for years to open communication with SYDA in regard to being sexually abused by Muk. IMO. . which was cashed. in regard to my sexual abuse by Muk. he says. having their thoughts and feelings shut down in regard to their questions asked and thoughts and feelings being aired. in the end. I have helped on projects where I live when the Directors came and Lester MC'd a reunion I worked on years back. In Lester's first paragraph. I am so grateful to be out of there. it is protection. Denial. but we are acquainted. There have been numerous reports of people trying to open up discussion on these topics. Mu was the Guru. I even wrote letters and they were not "sensitive and responsive" to how I was feeling. articles have been written and published about SY and its abuses. Mine sure was. and very poor boundaries. You can find the reasons for not seeing Truth and living in illusions. In the second paragraph of the letter Lester says. 2003 11:20 am Subject: My Letter and a Response Dear List.

I am so grateful to finally have the ability to be able to acknowledge this. but so that you will understand that I do this from a place of compassion for myself and others. to not only talk about it after being silenced for so long. There needs to be a way for everyone in Siddha Yoga to genuinely acknowledge and process these events. I am ready to listen to and help those that were also so affected by these affairs. but to be able to acknowledge what it truly was. and his subsequent response to me. It is truly amazing. Now with the details of what happened being told. to process this event and begin to be able to move on with their lives. my letter to Lester Strong.

AND Belief that the coming Aquarian Age shall soon replace the Age of Pisces, heralding in a new era of compassion—for this purpose 5 Aquarian Age Sutras and 7 Steps to Happiness form part of the basis of the philosophy. A nutritional vegetarian diet is served, as meat is forbidden according to 3HO beliefs. Consumption of the trinity roots (garlic, onion, and ginger) is encouraged Cautionary observations All intensive spiritual practices associated with Asian traditions require attentive practice. Psychiatric literature[22] notes that "Since the influx of eastern spiritual practices and the rising popularity of meditation starting in 1960s, many people have experienced a variety of psychological difficulties, either while engaged in intensive spiritual practice or spontaneously". Among the psychological difficulties associated with intensive spiritual practice we find "kundalini awakening", "a complex physio-psychospiritual transformative process described in the yogic tradition".[22] Also, writers in the fields of Transpersonal psychology[23] and Near-death studies[24][25] describe a complex pattern of sensory, motor, mental and affective symptoms associated within the concept of kundalini, known as kundalini syndrome. Often it will be found that negative experiences occur only when acting without appropriate guidance or ignoring advice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini Vedanta view on kundalini, Tantra and Sex Tantra is the worship of Shakti, the divine mother.[21] Shakti is also referred to as Prakriti, or primordial nature. To ensure that nature (Prakriti) would always maintain the connection to the divine original consciousness (Purusha), the force of attraction developed as an aspect of Prakriti. The desire for union and the striving for expansion are "natural"; they are intrinsic impulses of nature. Other terms for Purusha and Prakriti are Shiva and Shakti. Shiva is the symbol for consciousness and the masculine principle, Shakti symbolizes energy and the feminine principle.[23] The meaning of Shiva and Shakti is sometimes misunderstood when they are looked upon as man and woman and their relation is regarded as sexual. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakti so what is it that is so wrong? ok, first off, though it *is* true that there are references to yoga to a degree in our holy texts, real sikhs are not to take a religious attachment to the practice of yoga, such as the hindus. this was against the teachings of our gurus. second, our gurus taught against the sexual nature of tantra, nor do (or shuld we at least) we believe in the energy connected to it, and said spiritual beliefs.) third, true sikhs do nt believe in an 'aquarian age', 'age of pisces', etc. nor do we do any summer or winter solstice worshipping. we also do not worship a devine mother. we see men and women as equal but we do not worship one over the other. we also do not share the same spiritual ideas, as we believe less in the 'spiritual' aspect in the sense associated with yoga. we do not focus more n a spiritual aspect, which can be misleading. our faith's focus is moral conduct, respect, discipline, and common sense. our enlightenment comes from the respect of these things, and not allowing ourselves to be wooed by false pretense or by the panchadosh - 5 evils - Kam (Lust), Krodh (Rage), Lobh (Greed), Moh (Attachment) and Ahankar (ego). because the 3ho have incorperated some elements of real sikhism into their practice, it can be misleading, and those who are gullible will be brainwashed to believe they are doing right. true sikhs laugh at the foolishness of these hypocrates and try to teach others not to follow their false ways. we also do NOT believe in 'trinity roots' or anything else for 'spiritual energy.' nor do we believe in 'spiritual energy' in the sense they take it. we also do not deal with chakras in this sense. (for real sikhs, A circular steel weapon; one of the symbols of Sikhism; depicted on the Nishan Sahib.) also, though there are some sects who are strictly vegetarian, sikhs, even amritdhari sikhs CAN eat meat as long as it is not kutha. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism#Sikhism Sikhism Main article: Diet in Sikhism The tenets of Sikhism do not advocate a particular stance on either vegetarianism or the consumption of meat,[130][131][132][133] but rather leave the decision of diet to the individual.[134] The tenth guru, Guru Gobind Singh, however, prohibited "Amritdhari" Sikhs, or those that follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada (the Official Sikh Code of Conduct)[135] from eating Kutha meat, or meat which has been obtained from animals which have been killed in a ritualistic way. This is understood to have been for the political reason of maintaining independence from the then-new Muslim hegemony, as Muslims largely adhere to the ritualistic halal diet.[130][134] "Amritdharis" that belong to some Sikh sects (e.g. Akhand Kirtani Jatha, Damdami Taksal, Namdhari, [136] Rarionwalay,[137] etc.) are vehemently against the consumption of meat and eggs (though they do consume and encourage the consumption of milk, butter, and cheese).[138] This vegetarian stance has been traced back to the times of the British Raj, with the advent of many new Vaishnava converts. [134] In response, to the varying views on diet throughout the Sikh population, Sikh Gurus have sought to clarify the Sikh view on diet, stressing their preference only for simplicity of diet. Guru Nanak said that over-consumption of food (Lobh, Greed) involves a drain on the Earth's resources and thus on life. [139][140] Passages from the Guru Granth Sahib (the holy book of Sikhs, also known as the Adi Granth) say that it is "foolish" to argue for the superiority of animal life, because though all life is related, only human life carries more importance. "Only fools argue whether to eat meat or not. Who can define what is meat and what is not meat? Who knows where the sin lies, being a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian?"[134] The Sikh langar, or free temple meal, is largely lacto-vegetarian, though this is understood to be a result of efforts to present a meal that is respectful of the diets of any person who would wish to dine, rather than out of dogma. http://www.sgpc.net/rehat_maryada/section_six.html www.dasamgranthexposed.com/Meat%20in%20Sikhism.htm also see these links and note the similarities between 3ho and iskcon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISKCON_Guru_System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartwheels_in_a_Sari:_A_Memoir_of_Growing_Up_Cult Cartwheels in a Sari: A Memoir of Growing Up Cult is a memoir written by Jayanti Tamm, a former devotee born into Indian spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy's ministry.[1] In the book Tamm, an English professor at Ocean County College in New Jersey, wrote about her first 25 years growing up in the Queens-based religious group. Tamm characterizes the charismatic leader's group as a cult, and documents Chinmoy's "masterful tactics of manipulation." She left the group in 1995. In the book, Tamm depicted Chinmoy as a charlatan who masqueraded as a god and convinced hundreds of thousands to worship him.[2] When she was a year old, Tamm's family moved to Connecticut and opened a meditation center in their basement. She writes, "The sole point of everything was Guru ... Our house felt like a Guru museum, replete with photo gallery--pictures of Guru occupied every single free space upon the wall."[2] Some disciples of Chinmoy organized efforts to discredit Tamm's story. Tamm said that she understood their reactions because she used to feel like them and said that if they read her book "they would see that the book explores the complicated realities that encompassed Sri Chinmoy and his mission".[3] Tamm is now married with a daughter and lives a secular life. The audio version of the book was released on April 1, 2010 on Audible.com[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Chinmoy Sri Chinmoy has been criticized by some former followers. Musician Carlos Santana as a follower had said about Sri Chinmoy, “Without a guru I serve only my own vanity, but with him I can be of service to you and everybody. I am the strings, but he is the musician. Guru has graduated from the Harvards of consciousness and sits at the feet of God”.[83] When he parted ways with Chinmoy, Santana told Rolling Stone magazine that the guru was "vindictive" and "told all my friends not to call me ever again, because I was to drown in a dark sea of ignorance for leaving him". Santana later remarked "It was a good learning experience. Sri Chinmoy has been criticized by some former followers.

Her account of life as a Chinmoy disciple Cartwheels in a Sari: A Memoir of Growing Up Cult was published in 2009.[84] Tamm claimed that Chinmoy predicted that she would become his perfect disciple. The book describes her life in the guru's inner circle and her efforts to break free from Chinmoy's influence.[85] Allegations against Chinmoy were published in the book 'The Joy of Sects'.[86] In response, Chinmoy denied the accusation, stating he was a lifelong celibate and sexual misconduct allegations against him were false and defamatory.[87] another important note is that true sikhs do not follow a sect. sects do exist, but are not part of the sikhism our gurus prescribed. a sikh is a sikh and that's the end of it, as long as they respect morals and their culture. this is a big issue with westerners who convert. they either convert to being sikh thinking they've found their enlightenment - but previously living a typical life of lust (open sex, possibly pornography, provacative dress, flirtatiousness, etc.), attentin seeking, and other examples f the 5 evils which sikhism is against, then suddenly pretend to be pure, or are born into the 3ho cult, and especially western women marry men who impress them with their act. while in the east, we don't feel it's according to the complaint.
