The fact that Yogi Bhajan never took part in an Amrit ceremony with Sikhs shows how Tantric / kundalini yoga was Yogi Bhajan's basic faith while Sikhi was only an off-shoot of his Tantric system!

Why did Yogi Bhajan never take part in an Amrit ceremony with Sikhs as one of the panj or even as Guru Granthi if what SikhNet says is true that Yogi Bhajan was granted the authority to perform the Amrit Ceremony?

This point was made in a post by an old time ex Yogi Bhajan follower, "To the best of my knowledge YB never, ever, ever took part in an amrit ceremony as one of the panj or even as Guru Granthi."

Yogi Bhajan followers say, “At that time he was granted the authority to ordain others as Ministers, and to perform the Amrit Ceremony which is the sacred ceremony of initiation into the Khalsa, the Brotherhood of the Pure Ones."

Old time ex Yogi Bhajan follower, "This is, of course BS, whether it comes from the SGPC or the Bhajanists.

First of all there is no such thing as a Minister in Sikhi. Second of all, no Amritdhari Sikh - male or female - needs permission from anyone to administer Amrit Sanchar."
