Another element that is unique to Kundalini Yoga as taught
by Yogi Bhajan, is the music.
The only kind of music that you will find in any Kundalini
Yoga class is Kundalini Yoga music (music used by Yogi Bhajan, as well as other
Kundalini mantras put to music, and new 3HO songs - from The Aquarian Teacher).
Why do we only play
Kundalini Yoga music? This is how Yogi Bhajan explained it:
“Kundalini Yoga is to create inner energy, not provoke outer
energy. Music must be within a certain rhythm. Music that is more physical or
mental than spiritual can stop the rhythm. Ours should be more spiritual.
Commitment to self is not a joke. Commotional music is not required. If the
music is not soothing, if it creates commotion, it is not allowed. A yoga class
needs elevation, projection of the proper combination and permutation of words
which push you through…..Kundalini Yoga is not a pop festival, nor is it a rock
and roll concert. It has those subtle projections through which the person can
go inward. When you are teaching, be with the purity of the essence as you have
been taught.”
It is just like opening a locked door with the right key, all
the Kundalini Yoga music and mantras that we play in class has the correct
vibration that will help students to raise their energy properly, and create a
safe and sacred passageway for one to reach inside to one’s self.
Rakhe Rakhanhar by Singh Kaur is a classic example of Kundalini Yoga music that has the correction vibration. Click on this video to experience the sun energy that is conveyed in Rakhe Rakhanhar.
