Brett
Hello everyone, welcome back to the show. I am here today with my incredible co -teacher, mentor, business partner, and co -facilitator of the 200 hour Kundalini teacher training, Guru Singh. And we had put out an episode a couple weeks ago, kind of discussing the Yogi Bhajan controversy, and we got questions, which we so appreciated. Especially about the aspect of Sikhism in Kundalini Yoga. So I’m so happy to have Guru Singh back and we’re going to dive into this interesting relationship between Sikhism and Kundalini Yoga and hopefully answer a lot of questions for all of you listening. So we’re so grateful you’re here and Guru Singh, I’m excited you’re
Guru Singh
Yeah, people perhaps don’t recognize how close our families are together, know, all of my children, grandchildren, your children, my wife, your husband, you know, it’s just family. And that’s what’s so brilliant about what we are working with here at Kundalini University.
Brett
And I also want to applaud you and us collectively for trying to answer some of these hard questions. think a lot of people just, there’s one approach which is just kind of continue on and pretend nothing is happening. And our approach is not that our approach is like there are these real concerns and there are these real issues. And we love being in co -creation with all of you who are listening or who are in our Kundalini programs to kind of figure out, you know, what is this new way forward that we’re all creating together? And I’m really excited to dive into this topic today because it’s one that I’ve done a bunch of research into, but I don’t know if it’s one that you and I have got to collectively chat about. And it’s definitely something of a concern for someone who loves Kundalini Yoga or is just discovering it, or maybe as a teacher and is still kind of trying to piece together, you know, Kundalini Yoga has such a rich history dating back thousands of years, but also since it came west and then especially since, you know, 2012. What is a SEEK? Do you want to start there by kind of answering that question?
Guru Singh
Yeah, yeah, the word seek simply means a student of the divine. That is all that the word means. It doesn’t mean a person with a turban. It doesn’t mean a person that is religious. It doesn’t mean anything. You can be a Christian seek. You can be a Judaic seek. You can be Islamic, a Buddhist.
Hindu Sikh, can be… Sikh is… and it was Guru Nanak who was the first, you know, Guru of the Sikhs and he was the one who really brought the yogic aspect of mantra into Kundalini because he was a bit of a massive musician and spoke in poetry.
at length. And so what we have as a Sikh is a student of anything that is divine, studying the cosmos, studying the aura, studying the chakras, studying anything that is sort of like beyond the mendacity that is just in everyday life. And
is what a Sikh is. It has been religiousized to make up a word and that actually was created by the British because the British occupied India for 300 years and they didn’t understand this cosmic divinity, this incredibly religious free spirituality and so they started to put everything into categories and pigeonholes.
And that’s when the Sikhs, in order to not be ostracized and even worse than that, by the British, you know, sort of conformed and confirmed the religious nature of Sikh and of Sikhism. But it is not an ism. It is just a student.
Brett
I appreciate this definition, right? So it’s a student, it’s a seeker. At the same time, We, Yogi Bhajan grew up as part of the Sikh religion in India and religion. So let’s dive into this a little bit because the history that I remember, and I have a really detailed PowerPoint on this in the Kundalini Demystified Course, which you should all take because it’s kind of a great warmup
Guru Singh
as part of the British Sikh tradition.
Guru Singh
Definitely, definitely should take
Brett
and gives you a discount to then the full training with me and Gru saying that when the British, so first of all, that the Sikh population is less, I think it’s less than 2 % of the Indian population. So a very small portion of the population in India identifies as Sikh. But when the British occupied India, as you are saying, and again, correct me if I’m wrong, because this is gathered research and I’m also remembering back, but the Sikhs were often working with the British as the kind of the they were the warriors and that they were often in northern India near where the border of Pakistan was and that
Guru Singh
Right? Well, was no Pakistan until the British left. They created that state. But they were all in the northwest of India, yes in that area.
Brett
And then they were very incredible warriors and martial artists. And I think they, many of them went to the Olympics. So they had this history of being very physically strong. We can, they, practiced yoga, we think. Yes.
Guru Singh
Yes. So, yeah. And so what happens in a colonization, in an occupation, is that the occupiers look for weak links.
And when they find weak links who also have a pretty like some influence, maybe they have business, maybe they’re in the army, maybe they’re a politician, but they’re a weak link in that they can be conscripted via money or some position of authority. And so the British did this
anywhere that they went into Occupy. I’m not anti-British, I’m just explaining history. And so it’s a very clever way of transforming a population and what they did was the Sikhs, as you said, were very much martial artists, they were very much the defenders because they lived in the Northwest, which is right where the Khyber Pass is coming through the Himalayas
That’s where all of the invasions had taken place for centuries. That’s where the moguls came through. That’s where anybody that was trying to occupy India, except for the British, they came by the ocean. So they gathered their forces in that area to be more militaristic, to be more, but they were also very yogic. So that’s one of the things that sort of caused yoga in the Northwest of India.
become very much like martial art, very much like qigong, very much like tai chi, very much like kung fu, because it was part of that tradition of defending, you know, moralities, defending ethics. And so when the British came in, they realized that, these people, we need these people to work for us. And so they conscripted the weaklings and the weaklings influenced the other ones and pretty soon they were working with the British.
Guru Singh
Not the yogic Sikhs, but the other ones that were able to be conscripted. if we were to follow, if we were to trace the path of yoga in Sikhism, it would have a wobbly path through the British occupation. But it was very clear and firm with Guru Nanak and before him Patanjali’s, you know, and before
the Buddha and before that and before that Lord Krishna etc etc and so this history of yoga and spirituality sort of weaves through all of the politics all of the cultural shifts and changes all of the migration and movement of people throughout that subcontinent and what you end up with is you end up with each person that was involved with the yoga is the base of Kundalini contributed to it. Patanjali’s contributed the eight limbs, which are very much a part of the Kundalini repertoire. And then you come through all of that and you find that what Guru Nanak contributed was mantra. And you talked about Gurumukhi and Sanskrit.
Brett
Yes, we wanted to talk about that. And before we do, I just want to chime in really quick, because I think this is maybe helpful for listeners, that the Sikh presence or Guru Nanak, who was the first Sikh, was born in 1469 AD. So if we’re looking at a timeline, this is a very modern, he’s quite recent compared to if we’re looking. So he was aware of Patanjali. He was aware of the eight limbs, right? Guru Nanak was someone who
Guru Singh
He was.
Brett
was immersed in yogic culture, immersed in a yogic lifestyle, the eight limbs, the philosophy at the time, the Vedas, he knew all of this. And
Guru Singh
And he wasn’t, and he wasn’t creating a religion. He was saying there is no difference between one religion and another religion. And this is not a religion. What he was creating was a coalition of all of the paths that had formed the incredible through line for yogic technologies. And compiled a vast array of mantric sounds and that’s what was called Guru Mukhi. And Mukhi means the mouth and Guru means teacher. And so it simply means the mouth of the teacher. And everyone is a Guru, right? Everyone is their own teacher. And so from your own mouth, reciting mantric words, there are, I mean, it’s just different dialect of the same language. Gurumukhi is like a dialect of Sanskrit and it is a dialect that focuses on extremely poignant and powerful sounds within Sanskrit that have this incredible mantric meaning that goes back for centuries before that. He was just a compiler of that science.
Brett
Some of the research that I looked at talks about, yes, how just like Patanjali, who was kind of like Shakespeare, we don’t know if Patanjali was one person or multiple people, but he kind of codified the yogic wisdom of the time in the sutras, that Guru Nanak was drawing inspiration from the Muslim Sufis, from Vedanta. He was taking the metaphysics of the Upanishads and the Gita. He was weaving all of this together.
Guru Singh
Exactly.
Brett
And then the story I’ve heard, although, you know, I want your take on all of this was that he disappeared for three days and no one knew where he was. And then he emerged out of a river and what came out of his mouth was, you know, almost as, as like awe was the, yes, was job sheet. The, the, which I guess we could say if we’re going to believe this fable or story is sort of the first grimoque that was the job.
Guru Singh
job, Jay.
Brett
There was no Gurmukhi before that, correct? That was the first,
Guru Singh
Yeah, that was the of the introduction of bringing all of this into a form, right? Almost like evangelical Christians speaking in tongue, right?
Brett
Right. So he pops out of this river and he just says this stuff and it’s very beautiful. And then that became the foundational text of Sikhism. Yes.
Guru Singh
It became. It became what it became.
But I think the most important point is…
It’s not a religion. It’s sound. It is just sound that makes a difference. You know, we’re using sound every day now. When we dial a phone, a phone uses sound frequencies. Every number on the phone dial is a different frequency. And it sends that frequency and the combination of those
seven or ten frequencies is a phone number and that phone number then rings a phone. That’s the power of sound frequencies. They can be used in that way and that’s all that’s all this is. This is just sound frequencies as mantras that we can invoke out of our bodies so that they have an effect just
A phone number has an effect. You dial one phone number, you don’t get five different people. You get the person that has that particular phone number. And the same thing holds true for all of the sounds of mantra and all of the sounds of grumukhi. They all have a particular codification that creates an outcome, a result. And that’s the nature of, you know, mon -trology, if you want.
Guru Singh
to say the science of mantra.
Brett
Would you say that Gurukmukhi or what Guru Nanak came up with is like derivative from Sanskrit? Okay. So do you think of it as like a super Sanskrit? Because I’m just thinking of our average student or listener, right? They’re like, okay, Sanskrit, because it’s funny if someone says to me, well, I don’t want to chant Gurukmukhi, which is from Japji and the Guru Granth Sahib, right? They don’t want to chant that, but then they’re chanting Sanskrit manchas. It’s like, well, that’s the…
Guru Singh
definitely. Absolutely, definitely.
Brett
know, religious language of Hinduism, right? So they both have some, these origins. Sanskrit goes back thousands and thousands and thousands of years. So it’s truly an ancient language. And so I think what you’re maybe sharing is that like, Gurmukhi is sort of Sanskrit distilled to its essence or his expression
Guru Singh
Essence. Essence. Absolutely. That’s the best word to use. Now understand that no language is a language of a religion. It is, you know, you think about Christianity and the language that was being spoken at the time, the languages were Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, right? And Arabic.
Right? So what you have 2000 years ago is you have all of these different languages wherever Christianity was in the world and then it became translated into French and into German, into Russian, etc. A lifestyle.
is not a religion and a language is not religious. They’re just used to convey communication. Mantric languages like Hebrew is a mantric language, Sanskrit is a mantric language, Gurmukhi is a mantric language. The reason that they are mantric languages is that it means more what they
than their definitions.
And what they do is that the vowels of a word make the sound and the consonants of a word direct that sound by the way in which you hold your mouth because consonants don’t make a sound. They need a vowel to create the sound. K is an A, G is an E, et cetera. So what happens in mantra has nothing to do with religion. It has everything to
Guru Singh
with anatomy physiology because the sound vibrates inside of your body. And that’s why I call mantra and Kundalini and all of this, I call it a science. And it’s a science because it has data, that data can be studied and those studies can be analyzed.
And those analytics can then be used to bring about conclusions that this creates this and does that. These are the kinds of things that are science -based. They’re not philosophical. They’re not, you know, they’re not esoteric. They are just science. And what is being found in today’s world with more and more study of sound?
is the effects of sound on the human body. There’s so much medical research being done now in this world in universities around the effects of sound within the body. And it’s going to be brilliant as these several sciences come together with modern equipment to prove what the mystics and the yogis were saying, you know, thousands of years ago.
that if you chant om, this is what it does. If you chant om, this is what it does, you know? And now they’re being able to prove that with modern equipment that can calculate.
Brett
Right. Going into an MRI tube and having the brainwave studied, which I know you and your wife did. we, I can imagine. I think we, we have, we do get this question. And I know there’s those of you listening who, you know, we say Kundalini yoga is a science or Hatha yoga is a science. Yoga is a science and people are suspect of what that means. And what it means to me, which I think is very similar to what you’re saying is basically
Guru Singh
And we did, and it’s a horrible place to meditate.
Guru Singh
Yeah. Yeah.
Brett
If I do something with my body, it has a physiological effect. If I chant like a certain sound and I’m pressing the meridians that exist behind each tooth or pressing my tongue up to the, you know, soft palate, upper palate, right? Where that’s the closest you can get to massaging your.
Guru Singh
Upper palate,
Brett
pineal and pituitary gland, right? Try to go in through the top of your head. There’s a skull. It’s very hard. If you go through the mouth, that’s the closest you can get to stimulating or massaging, activating that area. Certain hormones and peptides are going to secrete. If I hold my arms up in the classic kind of breath of fire movement where my arms are at 45 degrees, the lymph nodes in my armpits are getting an opportunity to drain. Or if I do the Kundalini marching, which I happen to teach,
Guru Singh
the upper palate.
Brett
Last week, grusing with pumping the arms up and lifting the legs up. It’s like the lymph nodes in the armpits and the groin are getting massaged and stimulated. So when I talk about yoga being a science, it’s like breath of fire, right? We’re changing the chemistry in our body. get, you you might get more lightheaded. Like that is an effect of a physical thing you’re doing. So I think, and you’re agreeing with me. I see you
Guru Singh
Yep. Science.
Guru Singh
Yes, yep, absolutely. You’re spot
Brett
So that’s to me, when I say yoga is a science and you could say power poses are a science. I mean, there’s a whole Ted talk on this, right? It’s like, you make your body big, it’s like they’ve measured and studied this. It’s like you have more confidence or you have more hormones. So that I think is what we mean by Kundalini yoga being a science. And there was a science that existed that grew Nanak in, you know, 1469. He’s around.
and he’s steeped in yogic wisdom and there’s an eight limbs system that he’s intimately familiar with as well as many other religions. And then I think this is a moment for us to talk about how Kundalini has more than eight limbs. So can you speak to this a little bit because he adds in the sound, right, as a limb. So I don’t think he’s saying, you know, the eight limbs of Patanjali is wrong. He’s saying, no, I want to add this additional piece
Guru Singh
Yep.
Brett
You know, we haven’t maximized and used enough yet, which is sound as a sacred teacher, the mantra. Yeah. So do you want to speak to this a little
Guru Singh
and he called it Shabad Guru, right? Shabad meaning sound and Guru meaning teacher, so that sound is a teacher. And like Patanjali’s, whether he was one or many people, he didn’t invent the eight limbs, he gathered the eight limbs. He said he was a gatherer, he created a confluence of
all of these different studies that had been going on for centuries, for millennia. And he said, I want to compile all of this into a set of, he called them limbs, a set of teachings that are easier to follow than if you were to have to run all over and try to gather them yourself. And
He created like an encyclopedia of yoga, and it’s called the teachings of the eight limbs. So that was in effect, and they’re not really certain of the exact dates of Patanjali, somewhere between, some people say 200 BC, some people say 400 to 600 AD. It doesn’t really matter. Sometime back in that period of
they were gathered together as the eight limbs. And then around a thousand years later in 1490, you know, he had to at least be 25 years. He had to grow up a little. know, Guru Nanak starts to talk about the ninth limb. And so this is so beautiful because, and this is what science is. Science is not focused
Brett
You have to grow up a little.
Guru Singh
on just the tradition. And this is what the yogi bhajan version of Kundalini was very steeped in, is that these are the traditions and you don’t change them and you don’t move them, you don’t make any difference, you don’t add, subtract, multiply or divide. And my attitude towards that, and it was my rebellious nature throughout my time with that organization, was that no, science is a living event.
You honor traditions, but then you create innovations, you create alterations, you provide for the 21st century to be somewhat different than the 15th century or the 7th century or a thousand, two thousand years BC. So what we have here in Kundalini University
is we’ve got the scientific attitude, which is real science. And that is, take the traditions, understand how they can still apply, and then work from there with that which the traditions used in the first place to create whatever is needed to make it applicable to today’s world. Because we’re dealing with things in today’s world that none of the yogis 500 years
1015, 2000 years ago had to deal with. And so we need to be able to use what has been constructed and what has been reconstructed through time. And that’s how we apply the science.
Brett
This conversation is making me think about, because I think a lot of times people are like wanting Kundalini Yoga to be this separate thing that dates back thousands of years. that’s okay. But I think the reality is, you know, it was such a melting pot. All of these forms of yoga have so much more in common than they do different. And that Guru Nanak really said, I love this system and I want to add to it this element of
Guru Singh
He was a scientist.
Brett
through this special language, through this special like sheet music we can call it. And I want to add and evolve it. So in this way, it’s like Kundalini Yoga is almost, I think the goal was that it’s almost a more approachable version of some of the Hatha Yoga and other lineages that had been around, more designed for a householder potentially. And then we have Yogi Bhajan who let’s be clear,
grew up in a Sikh family, right? So he was Sikh his whole life, just like you might grow up Jewish or Christian, or I mean, he was in a Sikh household, a Sikh family. He came to the U S and so he was very steeped in that tradition. And, you know, it was interesting when you were saying, you know, making it relevant to today’s world, the first people he taught were kind of like hippies, right? And in the sixties, or those were the people who were resonating with a lot of what he was doing. And they shared a lot of the values that he was talking
Guru Singh
Yeah, I was his first student. I was one of his first students. And 1969 is when he started teaching. He started teaching January 5th and I came in January 10th. yeah, know, hippies or I was a musician. I was a, you know, working recording musician. you know, we were all a variety of natures. But we, one thing we had in common in that was we had
thirst for higher awareness, greater awareness. And we found that the science worked. The scientist had some, you know, some flaws, same as Einstein, you know. Einstein’s science works. His personality and his personal lifestyle
had some flaws. We don’t have to go into depth, but anybody can look it up. You you don’t have to equate the science with the scientist. And that’s one of the things that I hold really firm about when people question, how can you still be teaching Kundalini? Kundalini has nothing to do specifically with an individual person. So if an individual person had corruption, that doesn’t corrupt
The science, the scientist and the science are two different things. The science of physics was not corrupted by Einsteinian corruption, right? So the fact is that the science is stable.
The lineage is
Brett
I think something that someone wrote in, which we can address because we want to try to answer the hard questions. We don’t have all the answers. Everyone is listening. We don’t, but we do want to hold space and tackle the challenging questions best we can. She was asking if this is a science that works and leads to greater awareness and does all these wonderful things for the body and mind, why weren’t the people around Yogi Bhajan aware enough?
to know what was going on or to be kind of duped by him in a sense. And this is a challenging question,
Guru Singh
Yeah, not a challenge for me because I knew them and I will just say that not everybody was practicing.
You you go into a yoga class, there may be 50 people, 150 people in the room, and you see some people might be fiddling with their phone. Some people are in the hardcore position, right? And others are doing the best they can to get into the position, but they’re not very good at it. You look around the room and there are all different levels of participation.
And so having been the one who lived through the entire decades and decades of that organization, I will say that those who are completely at a loss for, you know, how could anybody say anything wrong took place. They were not focused. They were not developing an awareness.
I’m writing a book and it’s called The Serpent and the Jewel. And it’s like a classic mythology, like the Odyssey or the Iliad or Lord of the Rings or any of these books that are about a very significant treasure that is surrounded by a protective layer, like the moat around a castle.
That’s a mythology and that’s been true throughout history that this is the way things work. The jewel is the science of Kundalini. The serpent was all that was going around it. All of the intrigue and the illegalities and the corruption that was happening, you know, in the organization. And that’s why I’m writing this book. It’s therapy for me. So the idea is
Guru Singh
And I look at this in this way. People approached the circumstance with a variety of goals. And I look at there were about three main goals. Some people came in looking for greater awareness. They wanted the jewel and they wanted to capture the jewel and they wanted to practice what the jewel, and that’s a metaphor, the jewel had to
I’m in that condition, you’re in that condition. Most of the people listening that have sincere questions are in that condition because you wouldn’t have these sincere questions unless you wanted to be able to do the right thing rather than be duped by something else. So that’s one category. Those who are seeking the jewel. There is another category of those who were afraid of the serpent.
And those are the ones that kind of came in and left and came in and left and came in and left. And there was tens of thousands of those throughout the decades. And then there was that
that wanted to be best friends with a serpent. And they were not much interested in the jewel. They wanted to be on the best friend basis with Yogi Bhajan. And it was like crazy clickish and nasty. my God, my wife and I, you know, when we were asked to sign an NDA of this and that and the other thing.
We said, no way, this is not what, we’re not in this for that. We’re not politicians here. And the fact is, is that those are the ones that cloistered and clustered around the serpent, if you will. And that is the story of why people who were closest to him could be denying anything went
Guru Singh
And I will just say in addition that when there is a person that is pulling things off like the stories that have come out about what was going on on the inner circle, when there is a person that’s doing that, it’s not in public view. They are so secretive and they have all of these double checks and balances so that they cannot be discovered. It was not visible.
those of us who were just interested in the jewel. Those who were interested in being best friends may or may not have witnessed some of this. But I will say that those three categories of people give a greater understanding to anybody that’s questioning how could this have happened and you not have known about it? How could that have happened and you not have known about it?
Brett
I think that’s helpful. I think, you know, a good note to end on here might be, you know, let’s just talk about, because I think the concern with, you know, the Sikhism and yogi bhajan and Kundalini yoga, this, this, all this stuff that got intermeshed together at a particular moment in time, right? When yoga came West or when yogi bhajan was, was teaching, you know, in the seventies and, and everything is the, what we’re doing in Kundalini yoga is a form of you know, Hatha yoga that’s existed for millennia. And then that the sounds that we’re chanting, we’re not so much chanting the religious scripture of other people. Although, you you could put that lens on it, but it’s more I really like what we talked about of this distillation of the Sanskrit that adds an additional limb or the power of sound to the eight limbs that we’re all already familiar with. And then that Kundalini is personal
Brett
You and I have been talking about this more, that this is a personal practice and you say often that it can enhance any religious beliefs you happen to have. Do you want to speak a little bit more on that before we close?
Guru Singh
Yes. I had the good fortune of being raised in a yogic household. But I sang in the Episcopal choir because that was the church that the extended family was a part of. So I consider myself to be a Christian. And Christianity came from Judaism, so I consider myself to be a Jew.
Christianity and Judaism also gave birth to Muhammad. And these are the Abrahamic religions, right? Islam, Christianity and Judaism. And so I consider myself to be Muslim. Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Jew, Jain, Christian. And that is the same attitude that my first teacher who was Paramahansa Yogananda that my great aunt served throughout his
because she met him in Calcutta in 1916, that he opened what was called Self -Realization and he called it the Church of All Religions. And what we have to understand here is that whether it be Jesus or Muhammad or the Buddha or whoever it might be, Guru Nanak, they were not forming a religion.
they were having an awakening. They were having a personal experience. And this is the personal experience that Kundalini University offers to everyone. We’re not offering religious studies. We’re offering the ability to have the personal experience of your own awakening and awareness of that which is beyond the three and four dimensions that we use to get along in our earthly pattern, in our earthly
Brett
What I call this, Groosing, is you becoming more essentially you. It’s like me as Brett with the volume turned up 10 out of 10. It’s like, what does that look like?
Guru Singh
If, and if that’s, you got that, and believe me everybody out there, I know Brett with volume turned up because she and I have this attitude towards these teachings that let’s use them for the good of the self and for everyone around us. I see it as it affects her children and I see it as affects her relationship with her husband and I see it as it relates to all of the people that she works
And that’s what can happen for everyone. It is not about having you become some other religion. If you’re religious, excellent. You will become a greater person of the religion of your choice. If you don’t even believe in God, excellent. It will make you just more aware of what you do believe in. It doesn’t matter. There is no judgment here. There is only a base
of physical, emotional, mental awareness and being able to take it beyond those three. Being able to be aware of the subtleties that exist between people. Love is a way of awakening that. You have feelings for your children, have feelings for your relations, you have feelings for your partners that you can’t really explain in words. And those are the relations that come through your own efforts by becoming more and more and more
Brett
Well, thank you so much for if you’re still listening because this is a lot and Guru Singh, thank you for being with us and any of you who want to join us for Kundalini University, we are starting very soon. There’s not much more time left to sign up and we only offer this program once a year. So I’ll put all the links for that in the show notes and we’re just grateful for all of you for really pushing us for submitting a lot of these questions that are challenging questions and we’re wishing you a beautiful yoga filled
Namaste.
