Yogi Bhajan
Yogi Bhajan was a Master of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, a spiritual teacher and a leader.
He was Born in August 1929 in the district of Gujaranwala, India (now Pakistan).
Yogi Bhajan arrived in the West in 1968, bringing a treasury of wisdom from the ancient yogic tradition.
He has taught, guided and inspired people from all over the world, to live in their excellence. He always said that he has not come to collect students, but to create the teachers of tomorrow.
He introduced these teachings as a spiritual technology that is suitable for our times, and can be used to heal, uplift and inspire.
Towards the turn of the millennium, Yogi Bhajan emphasized the value of these teachings at times in which humanity is facing a great transition, which involves very particular challenges such as information overload, hipper sensitivity, and ‘cold depression’. Yogi Bhajan has shared his vision for a new age of consciousness, the Age of the Self-Sensory Human, the next step into an elevated stage of collective evolution.
The Self- Sensory Human has a meditative capacity which allows her/him to live beyond the normal reliance on the five senses alone, Anchored in the Self - beyond the identification with emotionality, possessions, and circumstances.
Yogi Bhajan passed away on October 6th 2004, in Espanola, New-Mexico, USA.
In 2020 a book by one of Yogi Bhajan’s first students has been published- Pamela Dyson: Premka: White Bird in a Golden Cage: My Life with Yogi Bhajan.
The book is describing a very disturbing abusive behavior, and misconduct that breeches the core ethics of a teacher, and exposing a big shadow side of Yogi Bhajan.
The book has opened a whole Pandora Box of more very disturbing experiences that other students have started to share.
It brought great pain and confusion to many teachers and practitioners in the Kundalini Yoga community .
This is exposing a great paradox of light and darkness being so present in one person, inviting us to be able to perceive a complex reality, and to acknowledge the great imbalance and misunderstanding of Eros and Power.
It is a surprising, but a necessary step towards our collective evolution – facing the shadows with the light of consciousness; healing, and creating a new reality for ourselves as individuals and as a collective.
