   Hello. I am going to India from January 97 to July 97 with the intention to start learning kundalini yoga. Has anyone got any ideas about places when one can go for this. Thank you very much for ANY sugestion you might have,                            Tomas Maul — Name: Tomas Maul

Do you know what you’re doing. Have you been on a vegan diet for at least a year. If you have lots of toxins in your body you’ll probably die of kidney failure. Why? Because the kundalini will burn and purify everything out of the body. Maybe you are pure. I don’t know, but the kundalini can be a most dangerous energy. GOOD LUCK!!! Jim Birke

Snipped Section< My two cents: You have been probably very lucky so far!!! Kundalini yoga can be dangerous for those who practice it without guidance from an ethical, qualified and practicing guru who can provide personal guidance, instruction and counseling. It is not something to be trifled with nor to be pursued without preparation which would have to include diet and lifestyle changes. Kidney failure may or may not happen but lot worse things can happen! Cheers Mukti

Dear Mukti, Would you tell me please, what experience you base your opinion on? Also, exactly in what way would it be dangerous for an un-guided person?   I have read many case studies on people who have gone through kundalini awakening, and not one of those people had a teacher or guru.  Yes, some of them had great physical difficulties (the most notable one being Gopi Krishna), but the thing that really seemed to be threatened in all those cases was the ego, not the physical existence.   An ego death, you might say.   If you, personally, have known of someone who seriously damaged themselves by awakening kundalini unprepared, I would like to know about it.  Really I would! I think there is way too much hearsay and fear-mongering about it.  I have yet  to hear of a case where someone actually DID injure themselves, because I haven’t run across one yet! Following this to its logical conclusion,  if it either is true or it isn’t true that one needs a guide,  and there are people who have successfully gone through a kundalini awakening without a teacher or guru, then that falsifies your conclusion. Responses are heartily encouraged. Tracy

Definitely not! That is the sort of distorted info about kundalini yoga that should not be tolerated. As a kunalini yoga teacher and practitioner, the process as I have experienced it so far consists of a gradual, peaceful, in control awakening of the inner and outer spectrums of your spirit, your lifestyle, your awareness. You will receive and experience what you, your place on the journey of awareness, your body, etc. are ready for, no more, no less. Kunalini yoga is not dangerous, is very effective and powerful, and is within your conscious control at all times. I follow the teachings of Yogi Bhajan which are extremely practical, straight forward, and experiential. SAT NAM

Jim: I’ve only been studying kundalini yoga for a short time, but have received shaktipat from Anandi Ma and study and practice under her guidance (and the guidance of Shri Dhyanyogi).  I am not on a vegan diet, nor am I on a fully sattvic diet, and my kidneys are fine. The guidance of a guru is the most important aspect of kundalini yoga, as a guru can help to control the energy.  Kundalini isn’t the sort of thing you want to awaken without guidance, but it won’t kill you if you’ve got a good guru.

Yes, Grant road and Forest road in Bombay have excellent locations for Kundalini Yoga instruction. I understand that their rates are reasonable (especially in foreign exchange) as well. -akhilesh – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –    Hello.

Sorry I can’t tell you where to learn "Kundalini" YOGA in India though I have studied other forms of Hatha but that statement about the absolutely neccesary is nonsense, but it does help. CXH

Write the people of the 3HO Foundation at 1620 Preuss Rd, L.A., CA 90035 for a listing of Kundalini Yoga Teachers and contacts in India and the rest of the world. Dig around their webpages at http://www.sikhnet.com/ Most sane teachings on Kundalini Yoga I’ve ever encountered. Blessings Kirpal

Tom, Go to Rishikesh, Uttar Pradesh for learning any yoga.  This is the place where everybody goes for Yoga training, as it has the best ashrams, gurus, and reputation for YOGA.  Also, this place has much cleaner environment than any metropolitan city in India (e.g.,Bombay, Delhi, etc.) Sincerely, Deepak Nautiyal

Response:

Perhaps the best thing is to find places that offer Kundalini in your home country, and have them refer you to their home base in India…. Raja
