Yoga in Sikhism
« on: August 11, 2010, 09:27:10 PM »
Many of us who are Sikhs don’t realize the many close ties and things in Sikhi that are in fact Yoga. Many Sikhs think of Yoga in a negative way because they associate it as a other religions practice, or that the writings in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib say that "yoga is bad" when in fact this is a total mis-understanding and most of the time taken out of context.



Our Sikh Guru have always talked about Yoga in Positive way..like Tenth Master says: "Meditating on Him, as the Single aim and thought, even for the fraction of a second, has liberated humans from the noose of death."

We can read plenty of examples in Gurubani where stress on Yoga has been given to reach unto Wahiguru and our utmost potential.A description of six chakras exists in Gurbani. There is also reference in it to the “upside down” lotus. When this “upside down” lotus blooms, God realization takes place (GG, 108[3]). Guru Nanak says that this lotus blooms when all the four kinds of fire — violence, selfishness, anger and greed — are extinguished by remembering God and the sadhak experiences the ecstasy by drinking nectar


Gurubani Linked To Yoga

- ਕਟੀਐ ਤੇਰਾ ਅਹੰ ਰੋਗੁ ॥ ਤੂੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਕਰਿ ਰਾਜ ਜੋਗੁ ॥੧

The disease of your ego shall be eradicated.
By Guru's Grace, practice Raja Yoga, the Yoga of meditation and success. (SGGS p211)

-ਪੰਚ ਮਾਰਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਰਖਹੁ ਥਾਇ ॥ ਜੋਗ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਕੀ ਇਹੈ ਪਾਂਇ ॥੫॥

So subdue the five thieves, and hold your consciousness in its place.
This is the basis of the way of Yoga.         (SGGS p1189)

though Yoga is not an inherent or required Sikh religious practice, but it aids in practice of Sikhism.

i hope i am going to practice Kundalini Yoga soon and then will share my experience with u guyz..:)
