Prayer is talking to God. Meditation is letting God talk to you.” —Yogi Bhajan

I am a Hindu because of sculptured cones of red kumkum powder and baskets of yellow turmeric nuggets, because of garlands of flowers and pieces of broken coconut, because of the clanging of bells to announce one's arrival to God, because of the whine of the reedy nadaswaram and the beating of drums, because of the patter of bare feet against stone floors down dark corridors pierced by shafts of sunlight, because of the fragrance of incense, because of flames of arati lamps circling in the darkness, because of bhajans being sweetly sung, because of elephants standing around to bless, because of colourful murals telling colourful stories, because of foreheads carrying, variously signified, the same word - faith.

Our purpose in this life is to live in higher consciousness and to teach others to live in higher consciousness. But the best test to that consciousness is humility, selflessness, and sweetness. When you teach, teach with honesty, truthfulness, and straightforwardness. As a teacher, never compromise. As a man, always compromise. The teacher who compromises is an idiot; a person who does not compromise is an idiot. Because the teacher does not teach for himself, but for the higher consciousness. And higher consciousness will never compromise with lower consciousness. This is a straight law and that has to be considered as a law; that has to be observed as a law.

My Ego said that I was a victim of circumstance. My Higher Self said that I create my own reality. My Ego told me to worry. My Higher Self told me to trust the present moment.

The gong is not a musical instrument; the gong is God. It is the most pure sound that man could create out of which comes all music, all sounds and all words.

Yogi Bhajan shows us that a key to being the master of your own mind is to learn how to forgive yourself. So for today, just for one minute, practice forgiving yourself.

The whole planet Earth shines with exactly the same radiance, and I am a part of it, and it is a part of me. And I know it is all temporary. Earth has given me a vehicle for staying on it, and I am beyond the vehicle. The day I have to leave, that vehicle has to be left back on this earth, deposited in its bosom safely and securely. I

The mind should dance with the body, and the whole universe is your stage. Try to feel that whatever you are doing is the most beautiful thing, the prettiest dance, because you are dancing with the whole Universe.” Yogi Bhajan

For every beautiful thing, you have to pass through a valley of hardship. There is no liberation without labor. There is no freedom which is free.

E

I am a Hindu because of sculptured cones of red kumkum powder and baskets of yellow turmeric nuggets, because of garlands of flowers and pieces of broken coconut, because of the clanging of bells to announce one's arrival to God, because of the while of the reedy nadaswaram and the beating of drums, because of the patter of bare feet against stone floors down dark corridors pierced by shafts of sunlight, because of the fragrance of incense, because of flames of arati lamps circling in the darkness, because of bhajans being sweetly sung, because of elephants standing around to bless, because of colourful murals telling colourful stories, because of foreheads carrying, variously signified, the same word - faith. I became loyal to these sense impressions even before I knew what they meant or what they were for. It is my heart that commands me so. I feel at home in a Hindu temple. I am aware of Presence, not personal the way we usually presence, but something larger. My heart still skips a beat when I catch sight of the murti, of God Residing, in the inner sanctum of the temple. Truly I am in a sacred cosmic womb, a place where everything is born, and it is my sweet luck to behold its living core. My hands naturally come together in reverent worship.

What is a human being? A magnetic field, that's all he is. What kind of magnetic field is it? It vibrates on its own nucleus and in proportion with its existence with the entire universe. And there are many magnetic fields, millions of them. Without your talking with somebody, you communicate. A

You are dead because you're not alive to your consciousness. But when you face the sequence and relate it to the consequence and then surmount the consequences, you become alive. Trust only comes when you trust yourself. When you trust your dignity, you will always be dignified. When you trust your love, you will always be lovable. When you trust your beauty, you will always be beautiful. When you trust your greatness, you will always be great.

How many times do you keep yourself from God-consciousness when you try to pretend you are great and holy and you try to shield that negative part of you? In my consciousness there is a support and in the support there is an equal negative and an equal positive. There are always two balances in each personality which balances the very rhythm of life.

Sikhism is not a religion which looks for converts but a feature of the American diaspora is the large number of ‘white’, gora, Sikhs. In 1969 an Indian sant, or spiritual teacher, Harbhajan Singh Puri (Yogi Bhajan, to give him his popular name), began teaching kundalini yoga in the USA. Some of his students were attracted by his total lifestyle, which included vegetarianism as well as the usual amritdhari discipline, of daily nam simran (meditation upon the Sikh scriptures), the prohibition of alcohol, tobacco, drugs and sex outside marriage, as well as his Sikh world view stressing equality and service. To these might be added his own strong and attractive personality.

Bhajan mera sukoon hai, Namaz meri aankhon ki thandak, main in mein say kisi ko bhi nahi chor sakta. They complete me (Bhajan is my solace, Salah is the soothing balm for my eyes, I cannot abandon either. They complete me).

Cuando el sol sale por la mañana hasta los tontos se levantan; pero benditos aquellos que se levantan antes que el sol para demostrar que son hijos del Todo Poderoso. ¿Está claro? A las 3.30 p.m. es probable que te levantes. Pero aquellos que tienen agallas, abriran las compuertas del Corazón a las 3.30 a.m.,

The late spiritual leader Yogi Bhajan once said, ‘If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it.

Without Gnan (real knowledge), there is no worship (bhakti). What people believe as worship is really singing praise of the Lord (bhajan). Worship is through (Real) Knowledge and guidance of the (Real) Knowledge.

Yet Yogi Bhajan describes mastery of this practice as arising from teaching it: “If you want to learn something,” he says, “read it. If you want to know something, write it. If you want to MASTER something, Teach it!” (Bhajan).

Yogi Bhajan once wrote, “...you are not free by taking drugs. The neurons of the brain will become feeble. You will lose your nostril pituitary sensitivity. You can never smell the subtlety of life. You’ll always be dragging your life.” With artificial highs, the individual is left enslaved by the need for their next fix. The selfishness to fulfill that need drives many an addict to do unspeakable crimes. Any

THE RETAINED BREATH This form of pranayama strengthens the muscles of the lung and expands the chest. It also increases oxygenation of the blood, which is of particular benefit to the liver and the other organs of digestion. In addition, it enhances the exit of blood-borne toxins through the lungs. When you do this exercise, do not hold the breath longer than 10 seconds, because this can sometimes cause dizziness. As Yogi Bhajan has noted, dizziness is not enlightenment. 1. Standing or sitting erect, inhale a Complete Breath through your nose, pulling in your chin. 2. Retain the air for 10 seconds, as you remain still and calm. If you have the urge to exhale, inhale slightly instead. 3. Exhale through the nose. Throughout this exercise, create a calm internal spot in your awareness, and observe the changes in your body and mind. Breath retention will make your body work at a higher level of efficiency. It will also train you to remain rational during stress or pressure. To master this is to master the inflow and outflow of the life force. The effects of the Retained Breath are: • Toning of chest muscles • Heightened oxygenation • Improved digestion and liver function • Improved conscious awareness of breath

Unfortunately, according to Amarinder Singh, news of the agreement leaked out to Bhajan Lai.

The Bhajan of the death of the breeze Through the incredible red of the leaves I have seen death! The sky was a yogurt of flying monkeys, or the inner Ramayana of all the red leaves The breeze overflowed itself with a heart of wood, clarifying my size of subtle forgetfulness and bajans, towards the naked torso of the sun and the earth.

El Bhajan de la muerte de la brisa Por el increíble rojo de las hojas he visto a la muerte! El cielo era un yogur de monos voladores, o el Ramayana interior de todas las hojas rojas. La brisa de desbordaba de si misma con un corazón de madera, aclarando mi talla de sutiles olvidos y bajans, hacia el torso desnudo del sol y la tierra. Por el increíble rojo de las hojas he visto a la muerte!. Vi a mi gurú. Al Dios de Dioses diciéndome ; TU ERES RAMA TU ERES RAMA Desde siempre! Y desde antes que nazcas TU ERES RAMA Y en el torso desnudo del sol y la tierra mi corazón hoy se derrama Entre sutiles olvidos y bhajans porque tu también eres Rama. porque tu también eres Rama.
