Yogi Bhajan
brought Kundalini Yoga to the US in 1969. In 1999 he wrote the following
article which we found interesting enough to share with you. We hope you enjoy
it.
“By the year
2013 the world population will be seven billion. The change in technology,
psychology, and sociology will be huge. The chaos of information in the
computer age will make it difficult for people to cope with their day-to-day
lives. The body, mind, and spirit will have to be organized to meet these
natural human phenomena.
Every human, no matter to which religion they
belong, will face a reality in the future where they will need a strong,
healthy nervous system. They will need mental clarity and the back-up of
spiritual strength to face this coming world. We can say with confidence, the
only way to do this is through yogic techniques by which body, mind, and spirit
can be enhanced.
To sustain
themselves, tomorrow’s individuals must have yogic training. It is a need of
the times. By 2013, forty to sixty percent of the population will be practicing
yoga. People will see that those who practice yoga are bright and beautiful,
calm and blissful. They will recognize that the yogic community is sincere and
dependable, serving and giving.
Yoga, with its
every system, is going to prevail. We clearly see this trend, and it will lead
to the end of human insanity and the prevalence of yogic glory. Yoga is a
science for all humanity. It is the custodian of human grace and radiance. It
holds a great future for every human being. It brings mental caliber for
purpose and prosperity of life. The future of yoga is bright, bountiful and
blissful.”
