Yes many of the mantras we use in Kundalini yoga are from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib - the holy book of the Sikhs.
In my Level 1 teachers training I explain that the primary relationship between Kundalini Yoga and Sikh Dharma is indeed mantra - sound current - naad.
Guru Nanak, the first of the Sikh Gurus spoke of the power of meditation/recitation of sound - in the 1400s. These rich teachings allow us to use sound to access our higher frequencies - but you don't have to follow any one religion to benefit from them.
I'm sure Gururattan will have an eloquent response as well.
