Self made meditations by westerners from Yogi Bhajan adherents

Posted by eyesacademic

There are many westerner followers of Yogi Bhajan and they keep on coming out with their self-concocted meditations and mantras. All hocus-pocus and are pushed onto gullible white westerners under the garb of Sikh yoga. I accept the value of yoga asanas and kriyas for cleansing and vitalising the body and its pranic system. Benefits of asanas on healing and vitalising the body, of pranayama on the nervous system are widely accepted. They are really valuable.
But Naam Simran is the central and core teaching of Gursikhi and that should not be marginalized in any Sikh teaching.

Bhai Sahib mentions how there are certain groups such as the Radha Swamis who use these new age yogi meditation techniques. They tell the practictioner to close their eyes and put their hand in a certain position and they were start to hear Anahd Shabad. When the listeners starts to hear the sounds of the bells he starts to think his dasam dwar has opened lol. Bhai Sahib mentions this is just the power of imagination and their is no spiritual merit or spiritual progression in such useless practices. Only listening to Gurmat Naaam bears success. The sad thing is the 3ho have adopted the meditations of the Radha Swamis and the innocent people are being misled. There should be some type of pamphlet to educate those who are new into Sikhi about the basic principles of Gurmat and listening to Naam according to Gurmat and not according to ones own mat.
