Yogi Bhajan, Why?

written by Lisa Gniady

When I found out the allegations against Yogi Bhajan, I needed to know: why?

As an Intuitive Channel and Medium, I reached out to him with my question.

This is my channeled message from him, that I thought was worth sharing with those who might be interested. The harsh allegations against Yogi Bhajan have ripped apart the Kundalini Yoga community, and have deeply affected so many lives. As of the writing of this, there has been no conclusion of these allegations, but through my channeled conversation with Yogi Bhajan, he does apologize for his actions. The teacher was flawed, the Kundalini practice still has its merits.  The transformation that can manifest from the Kundalini Yoga practice that he shared with us, is so immense that it would be a shame to throw it all away. This practice changes lives. But everyone needs to make their own determination on how they proceed. I still practice Kundalini Yoga, it changed my life, but now, I teach it differently. 

Here is the confession of a broken man. He was just a man that channeled the teachings. The teachings were not the man…

(In this channeled conversation, any words in front of the slash autotyped in and offer additional meaning(s))

Channel from Yogi Bhajan:

I was once a wise man. 

I was able to hear and know things that others could not. 

I was humble to start, I didn’t have shoes.

But back then, people were needy. 

They needed so much, 

and they wanted so much of me. 

But I was just a man….

And the demands took their toll.

I died sad and broken. 

My body shut down because 

My human spirit was broken. 

I did things I regretted, 

but there was no tuning/running/tuning/tuning/turning back. 

I made my bed and had to lie in it. 

I was trapped. 

So it was easier to keep going than to recede. 

You see, I know I helped people. 

So many were healed and 

So many lives were changed by the offerings 

I was able to share.

But, the human demands/drama permeated in. 

The yogic teachings are challenging, 

They are taught from the old ways. 

Men were the kings. 

And women were not worthy of the teachings.

I came from the old school 

And I couldn’t get that way out of my human form. 

I built an empire, 

But you see the emperor crumbled. 

I couldn’t let down those that I taught. 

But the shame broke my human form. 

You may have wondered why if... 

Kundalini yoga is so great, then why

Was I overweight, unhealthy and died young?

Because I couldn’t handle my human failures 

And it broke me. The shaman/system is flawed. 

For example,The householders can’t always get up everyday 

to do Sadhana (Early morning yogic discipline) 

for 2-1/2 hours before the sunrise. 

Yes, these teachings can help, but they need to be shifted 

And changed to meet the times. 

I was a seer, I knew what was coming. 

And I tried to help, but the pressure of what I knew

Was too much for one man. Even for me. 

So you ask, now what? 

What is going to become of the empire I birthed? 

How are they going to come out of this debacle? 

They will, humanity is resilient. 

There will be some that brake/break 

And I am sorry for that. 

There will be others that let their egos take over

And try to become the next yogi bhajan. 

There are always those that are opportunists, 

That will take advantage and ride with it. 

Things cannot stay the same. 

I feel free. Finally the story is told. 

I will return and make penance for my sins. 

That still does not change what I did. 

I allowed tak/all the knowledge that I had to taint me. 

I allowed the dark forces to win. 

And they snuffed out my light. 

And I suffocated to death. 

My teachings were pure, 

The teacher was not. 

So as you go through all you have learned from me,

Discern what feels right, and throw away the rest. 

I fell from grace. 

I am truly sorrow/sorry for what I did. 

It/I trapped myself into a world 

That spun me around, and when I woke up 

It was too late. 

Do you know what it is like to be a hypocrite? 

One that Sri/sits in front of everyone and kiwis/lies? 

I was living a lie and dru/that lie broke my spirit. 

I am not sure where it all went bad. 

I wanted to change the world and the world changed me. 

Forgiveness is what is needed, 

Of myself for what I did.

I am sorry for all those I have hut/hurt 

And all those I have let down. 

I am free now to be reborn and claim my destiny.

So after reading his explanation, the message to all of us is:

When people rise to power, temptation and ego are always lurking and can be their downfall... Yogi Bhajan was a man. People made him out to be a god. Message for us, don’t put others on a pedestal or allow yourself to succumb to similar temptations.  When you rise up in your gifts and talents, staying humble is the key, remember to always come from authenticity and love.
