以下是個人的翻譯，英文沒有非常好，都照自己的理解而翻，若有錯請多多指教，Sat Nam
（看完後，我還真的好生反省了一下XD）
Q: Is it permissible to chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo silently before teaching a Kundalini Yoga class?
Yogi Bhajan: No. Sound purifies the inner and outer environments. Chanting it on one breath is preferred.
Q：在開始一堂昆達里尼瑜珈課之前，是否可以小聲地唱誦 Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo呢？
Yogi Bhajan：不行。聲音淨化內在和外在環境，一口氣唱完較好。
Q: Is there anytime one would teach a Kundalini Yoga class and NOT tune in with Ong Namo aloud?
Yogi Bhajan: Is there anytime when a pipe is not fitted with the gas tank and you can fill the car? This mantra is for tuning the flow of personal energy with universal energy. That's a fact. Do it with the group to tune them in too.
Q：如果教授昆達里尼瑜珈課之前，有甚麼時候可以不大聲唱誦Ong Namo來調頻？
Yogi Bhajan：沒有管線的汽油槽有可能拿來替車加油嗎？這個梵唱(mantra)是用來調整個人和宇宙的能量的，這是事實，團體能量也如此調頻。
Q: Is singing the song, "May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You," required at the end of class?
Yogi Bhajan: Yes, it is our closing prayer.
Q：在課程最後一定要唱「May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You」嗎？
Yogi Bhajan：是的，這是結束前的祈禱。
Q: Can I make up my own warm ups to teach?
Yogi Bhajan: Don’t make up warm ups personally, the teachings won’t tolerate impurity. If warm ups are needed, then students should do them before they come to class or before class officially starts, or a teacher can teach a short Kundalini Yoga kriya or pranayam series as a warm up.
Teach like me. Teach exactly as it is. Many of you do not teach Kundalini Yoga purely, then don’t teach at all. Because Kundalini Yoga has eleven thousand power watt, don’t deal with it in mischievous way. Teach it as it is.
Q：我可以自己編暖身動作來教嗎？
Yogi Bhajan：不要自己編暖身動作，教導不容雜質。如果需要暖身，學生必須在來上課前或在課正式開始前暖身好，老師也可以教個短一點的昆達里尼的kriya或呼吸法當作暖身。
像我一樣地去教，如實地去教，你們許多人不照著純粹的昆達里尼瑜珈去教，那就不要教，因為昆達里尼瑜珈有著一萬一千瓦的電力，不要胡鬧！如實地去教。
[Also, there are 2 variations of Sun Salutation that Yogi Bhajan has authorized for warm-ups for experienced Kundalini Yoga students. Yogi Bhajan taught Sun Salutation himself in the 70s.]
［另，Yogi Bhajan授權了兩種拜日式的變化式，提供昆達里尼學生暖身之用，Yogi Bhajan在1970年代時親自教過拜日式］
Q: Is it true that only certain music should be used for Kundalini Yoga classes?
Yogi Bhajan: 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.
Q：昆達里尼瑜珈只能用特定的音樂，是真的嗎？
Yogi Bhajan：昆達里尼瑜珈是用來創造內在能量的，非刺激外在能量。必須是一定節奏的音樂；相較靈性，音樂比較身體性或心智性地去阻止節奏，而昆達里尼的音樂應該更靈性（神聖）。自我承諾並非笑話，不需要混亂的音樂，若音樂無法撫慰人心，若製造混亂，這樣的音樂是不被允許的。
(我猜應該是要說，一般的音樂是比較物質與頭腦的，會使節奏停下來，而靈性的音樂，如昆達里尼的音樂，不會有這個問題）
Q: Can we teach mantras and yoga from other yoga traditions in Kundalini Yoga classes?
Yogi Bhajan: There is no need for mixing things. Every religion and every sect has their own books and techniques but as far as Kundalini Yoga, keep it pure. Its strength is in its purity. It is a weakness to try to please every person. It is a strength to keep the teachings pure to please our own consciousness that we served it well.
Q：在昆達里尼瑜珈課中，我們可以教導其他瑜珈傳統的梵唱(mantra)和瑜珈嗎？
Yogi Bhajan：沒有必要混合著教。每個宗教和教派都有他們自己的書籍和技巧，以昆達里尼瑜珈來說，保持它的純粹。它的力量來自於它的純度。試圖去取悅每一個人，會是弱點（有使此力量變弱之意）。將此力量運作得好，則是保持純淨的教導以取悅我們自己的意識。
Q: What is the best preparation for teaching?
Yogi Bhajan: The best thing is to take a bath or shower before teaching. If you have short hair, run your fingers under cold water, then run them through your hair and over your scalp. Comb your hair back and forth. This is most refreshing, and is done for energy. Then cover your head with a white head covering of your choice, so the energy remains with the nucleus. Cover the whole head, not just the crown chakra.
It will be the best thing if a teacher prepares for a couple of minutes in personal silence, repeats the Teachers Oath, and chants “Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo” for himself or herself before tuning in with the group in class.
Remember, teaching is not a personal popularity contest. You don’t have to be popular, you have to be perfect, and you have to have an impact.
Q：教課前的最好準備是甚麼？
Yogi Bhajan：在教課前，最好先洗澡。如果你是短頭髮，將你的手指沖過冷水後，再將手指插入頭髮內接觸頭皮，來回地梳理。這樣做可以更新能量，接著戴上白色頭巾，因此能量會保持在核心。整個頭要包起來，不是只蓋住頂輪。
若老師能夠花幾分鐘個人時間安靜一陣子是最好的，復誦教師宣言，在課程開始之前，唱誦「Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo」。
記住，教學不是個人聲望大賽，你不需要受歡迎。你必須完美，必須要有影響力。

Q: Sir, what will be the role of teachers in the Aquarian Age?
A: Honesty. Nothing more, nothing less. Be frank, straightforward, and honest. A teacher has to emit a radiant psyche, and that truth which he practices has to be radiant. A teacher is not a storyteller, though he might like to impress people. A teacher is a teacher. (9/22/02)
Q：老師，水瓶時代中，老師的角色是甚麼？
Yogi Bhajan：老實說，不多也不少。要坦白、直接了當且誠實。老師必須射出光芒四射的靈魂，並參與光芒四射的真實（並活在光芒的真相中）。老師不是說故事的人，即使他也許想要使人印象深刻（為了使人印象深刻，而說了許多故事）。老師就是老師。
Q: How do you maintain balance as a teacher?
A: In the world of infinity, a teacher belongs to that flow of infinity. He is not an idiot who just gets lost in beauty, charm, and money. You can’t bait a teacher. Let’s put it in a simple way: he is not a fish that is ready to be caught. (9/22/02)
Q：身為一個老師，您如何保持平衡？
Yogi Bhajan：在無限世界裡，老師屬於無限。他不是迷失在美麗、迷人和金錢裡的白癡。你無法引誘一個老師，簡單地說：他不是一隻準備被抓的魚兒。
Q. Can anyone be a teacher?
A. A teacher is one who lives, projects, and has power through his own purity and piety. Sharing that purity is sharing your piety. There is nothing personal in it. As teachers of Kundalini Yoga, we take an oath: "I am not a woman. I am not a man. I am not myself. I am not a person. I am a teacher.” (Aquarian Times, Spring 2004)
Q：誰都可以當老師嗎？
Yogi Bhajan：老師是一個活生生地、投射，且透過他的純淨與虔誠而有其力量，分享這純淨（純粹）就是分享你的虔誠，沒有個人的成分。身為一個昆達里尼老師，我們說出誓言：「我不是一個女人，我不是一個男人，我不是我自己，我不是一個人。我是一個老師。」
Q.What does focusing at the tip of the nose do?
A. With the eyes nine-tenths closed, focus at the tip of your nose. After awhile you will feel a tremendous lead-like sensation in the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe of the brain controls your personality. After a long period of daily practice, the sensation will be lighter and you will strengthen your elementary personality. (Aquarian Times, Spring 2004)
Q：專注在鼻尖要怎麼做？
Yogi Bhajan：眼睛十分之一開，專注在鼻尖，過陣子，會覺得前額葉有如巨大鉛重，腦的前額葉掌控你的人格，在每日練習一段時間後，這感覺會輕盈一些，將可加強你的基本性格。
