Hindus upset about Yogi Bhajan 's "spurious" Tantric / Kundalini Yoga as many Sikhs are too!
Hindu Swami agrees that Yogi Bhajan 's Tantric / Kundalini Yoga is fake! A Swami Param wrote an article a few months ago for The Coast News titled, "New age yoga: Old age theft and surrender" I wrote this comment and the Swami replied below:

The Sikh religion does not preach to perform yoga asanas or mantras yet Yogi Bhajan and now his followers who call themselves Sikhs practice tantric / kundalini yoga. I don’t think Bhajan’s funny yoga would even qualify as Hindu yoga either. I wish these Bhajan followers would just call themselves Bhajanites and quit giving religion a bad name.

Yes, just as concerned Hindus are righfully upset about the complete distortion of the Hindu/Yogic Dharma, we appreciate the feelings of devout Sikhs who realize how spurious is the 3HO Sikh movement under their late so-called “Yogi” Bhajan.

I encourage all who follow Yogi Bhajan & his teachings to exam closely what is really going on with Kundalini Yoga and Yogi Bhajan. For me the 30 years I spent with YB and practicing his tantric Kundalini yoga meant I was under his tantric spell. Only after spending time in India with real Sikhs did I find what the truth was. In my book I explain, "My hope was that I could help others to learn from my experiences; not only those in India, but also those within the 3HO spiritual organization to which I devoted thirty years of my life. India can be fun, entertaining and spiritually inspiring; at the same time it can be harsh and unforgiving, especially if you fall foul of the law, as I did. I spent 30 years in close contact with Yogi Bhajan. Please read and write a critical review on Amazon, I'd love to hear what you think and I think others would too.
