Q and A with the Master
Q: How important is it to practice Kundalini Yoga in an exact way?
A: Yogi Bhajan has been very clear over the years about the importance of keeping the Kriyas of Kundalini Yoga pure and exact. These are his words on the purity and sanctity of Kundalini Yoga:
“Teach like me. Teach exactly as it is. Many of you do not teach Kundalini Yoga purely; then don’t teach at all. Because Kundalini Yoga has eleven thousand watt power—don’t deal with it in a mischievous way. Teach it as it is.”
– Kundalini Rising, 1996
“No need for mixing things. As far as Kundalini Yoga goes, keep it pure. Its strength is in its purity. It is a weakness to try and please every person. It is strength to keep teachings pure to please our own consciousness—that we served it well.

Remember, teaching is not a personal popularity contest. You don’t have to be popular, you have to be perfect, and you have to have an impact.

P: Qual a importância de se praticar Kundalini Yoga de maneira exata?
R: Yogi Bhajan foi muito claro ao longo dos anos sobre a importância de manter os Kriyas de Kundalini Yoga puros e exatos. Estas são as suas palavras sobre a pureza e a santidade do Kundalini Yoga:
“Ensine como eu ensinei. Ensine exatamente como ele é. Muitos de vocês não ensinam Kundalini Yoga puramente, então melhor não ensinar. Porque Kundalini Yoga tem uma força de onze mil watt - portanto não o trate de forma maliciosa. Ensine-o como ele é. "
- Kundalini Rising, 1996
"Não há necessidade de misturar as coisas. Quando estamos lidando com Kundalini Yoga, mantenha-o puro. Sua força está na sua pureza. É uma fraqueza tentar agradar todas as pessoas. A força está em manter puros os ensinamentos para agradar a nossa própria consciência - e nós a servimos bem.

Lembre-se, ensinar não é um concurso de popularidade pessoal. Você não tem que ser popular, você tem que ser perfeito, e você tem que ter um impacto.
