Sayth Nanak "I have not practiced Yoga, or focused my consciousness on meditation." ---SGGS Pg 329
Now the issue to ponder over is Shoud we? if we dare call ourself Sikhs.
Dear Gurujot Singh Khalsa Ji,
WJKKWJKF
I am Amita Singh and new to Sikhiwiki.Permit me submit my bit as under :-
Nanak does not seem to be caring anything whatsoever for mystical/metaphysical, amounting to mythological practices of yoga prevelant at his time.These have now descended down in all sorts of comercial packages to today's mechanical & stressfull living.
You may consider making use of the above explicit & formal affirmation of Nanak as part of the article if it fits some where.
My perception may be lope sided . To me, SGGS teaches us only & only one Yogic Practice ie
Naam Japo ('Thy True name is TRUTH'.Se we need to learn ,seek,believe-in and practice nothing but TRUTH & TRUTHFULL living),
Daan(Share NAAM ie TRUTH,TRUE IDEAS(SHABADS) & TRUTHFULL living with Humanity) in the backdrop of TRUTH. TRUTH can only be realised by Listening to,pondering over,understanding,believing-in and finally living life as per Satgurs(TRUE IDEAS of living life to realise & merge with TRUTH for eternity).
ISHNAAN(Introspect through the breaths we breathe.A Gursikh teaches no one but his own self by walkig over the path ordained by TRUTH & shown by TRUTH himself in SGGS.
The idea of learning/practicing various brands of Yogas by Gursikhs, as highlighted by the article, to me is an issue best commented upon by Scholars in the field of Gurbani Study. I am a lowly college level student young in age & immaure in thinking.beg Pardon from all those elders whome in my zeal, I might have inadvertantly offended.
