OBJECTION TO: Who is this KY Teacher? becoming the Who knew YogiJi wars

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

We luckily have hundreds, if not thousands, of videotapes of the

Siri Singh Sahib teaching - sometimes showing his unlimited

compassion; sometimes injecting fire into the telling of a student's

arrogant and/or unconscious behavior. For the most part, I feel we

should let his videotapes speak for him - rather than assign one

polarity or another to him as a rule or preferred image.

My own sense of integrity compels me to draw attention to one

fairly consistent pattern you will find in class videos: in more

public classroom settings he usually offered illustrations of bad

behavior without naming the student (though politicians and other

public figures were fair game) - whereas in more intimate settings of

students he might directly blast any number of us in a " family

meeting " style. The line between public and intimate context could

become narrower at an end of class Q & A session. Anyone who had the

chutzpah to stand and publicly ask him a question or offer commentary

consciously or unconsciously invited his sword of truth; his response

could include incisive personal commentary - as needed by the student,

or for the sake of truth.

Shall we let YogiJi speak for himself?

Thanks,

Harbhajan Kaur
