Sikhism: Yoga has no importance in Sikhism | Chandigarh News

Amritsar: Following the incident of a woman performing yoga poses on the Golden Temple pilgrimage route and later sharing the photos on social media, Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghubir Singh has made it clear that yoga has no significance in Sikhism, though the Golden Temple is the spiritual centre of Sikhism and promotes a message of universal unity and humanity. He said Sikhism is a unique and distinctive faith and alleged that certain forces are trying to spread misinformation about it. He has directed the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to remain vigilant to ensure that no further actions or acts take place within the Golden Temple that go against the religious identity of Sikhism and detract from the sanctity of the abode of Guru. tnn
