What is being taught in countless yoga studios right now under the name of ‘Kundalini Yoga’ is a form of practice that bears no relation to any traditional practice associated with the word Kuṇḍalinī. The modern practice that goes by the name ‘Kundalini Yoga’ was created by a man called Harbhajan Singh Puri, better known as the 3HO cult leader ‘ Yogi Bhajan’. If you regard this kind of ‘Kundalini Yoga’ as an authentic traditional practice handed down through generations, I invite you to look at a brilliant article by the scholar Philip Deslippe, called “ From Maharaj to Mahan Tantric: The Construction of Yogi Bhajan's Kundalini Yoga”. This scholarly article proves that ‘Yogi Bhajan’ didn’t inherit, but rather fabricated, the practice(s) that he transmitted to his students under the name ‘Kundalini Yoga’. And why does this matter? Well, it doesn’t necessarily matter if somebody loves that practice, and it benefits them. I think it’s important to know, however, that the practice taught as ‘Kundalini Yoga’ in Western yoga studios today, whenever it derives from ‘Yogi Bhajan’ (which it nearly always does), has no relation to what is taught in connection with the word kuṇḍalinī in the original Sanskrit sources.
