He knew, he couldn't teach their Yoga to Indian Sikhs because it is forbidden in Sikhism like idol worship and Sikhs in India do not practice Yoga.  By teaching to western Sikhs they could earn dollars, so they preach there in western countries only.Yoga Terminology in Sikh ScripturesThe learned Writers of the article, "The Secret Science of Yoga as Seen Through the Eyes of a Sikh," make a sweeping statement which is extremely misleading. They say, "It is also true that Yogic terminology and the objectives of Yogic practices was totally in accord with the realization which Guru Nanak was sharing during his life time." [Sikh Sansar, March 77 p 28) The mere fact that Guru Nanak has used the word 'yoga' a number of times and also some other words from other Hindu and Islamic systems, does not in the least indicate that the Sikh Gurus either subscribed to these systems or adopted them in any subtle or crude form in Sikhism.You re requested to open this link which I wrote in December 2010.<a href="https://whitesikhsect-3ho.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">https://whitesikhsect-3ho.blogspot.com/ </a></blockquote>
