Featured Communities: Toronto & Ottawa

Toronto Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training group includes teachers in training from Toronto, Cambridge, and Montréal. Flowers were given by Har Prakash Singh in honor of Mother’s Day, which followed the White Tantric Yoga Course in Toronto.

Toronto
Toronto is the first place Yogi Bhajan’s feet touched the soil of the West when he made the decision to leave India in 1968 in order to begin sharing the teachings of Kundalini Yoga. The 3HO® Toronto community is rich with history and vibrant with many teachers, students, and seekers.

Numerology Forecast for June 2010 (Español) (Italiano)
Newfound Fortitude through Clearing Emotional Burdens
By Nam Hari Kaur Khalsa, California, USA

The month of June is a time of spiritual assessment and regeneration. Throughout the month we are dealing with issues of trust, justice, and fair play, as well as a deep emotional longing to connect with those who will truly understand us and never leave us. The intensity of our emotions at this time drives us to examine more closely what motivates our behavior, and where certain adjustments need to be made.

The Healing Power of Community
By Amy Pickholtz, Louisiana, USA

October 14, 2007 started off early, at 5:15 a.m. It was pleasantly brisk. I said to Jim, “You must really love me to get up on a cold Sunday morning to take me down to Houma for a water blessing with the Yogis on your motorcycle.” He replied, “Yes, I do.” That was always enough for me.

With a bridge out in Bourg, Louisiana, me being directionally challenged, and Jim having to monitor an ongoing problem for his employer, we never made it to the water blessing...

The Fires of Transformation
By Sat Purkh Kaur Khalsa, Kundalini Research Institute

At different points in our lives, all of us go through the proverbial fires of transformation. For some it’s a break-up, for others it’s the death of a loved one, and still for others it’s the loss of a job, or a personal health issue, or struggles with addiction. Whatever the fire may be called, we all have to walk through it in order to get to the other side. What’s the famous quip? If you’re in hell, keep going!

Healing Wisdom
Ayurvedic Herbs for Resilience, Resolve, Strength, and Stamina
By Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa, Oregon, USA

You know the signs—anxiety, edginess, fatigue, insomnia. Stress accounts for a good share of illness today, but it’s been with us since the beginning of human life. Only the stressors have changed. A bad day at work probably wouldn’t include an attack from a wild animal, but it just might include an attack from a wild boss. It’s a good thing we have a powerful system of tools to keep us healthy and balanced. With yoga we can build and maintain a solid foundation of stamina, and when tough times come along, we can eat adversity for breakfast.

SEVAlicious: Shedding Light in the Dark Corners of the World (Español)
SuperHealth in South America: Technology on Behavioral Addiction as taught by Yogi Bhajan
By Mukta Kaur Khalsa, New Mexico, USA

Have you ever heard of the Chicos de la Calle (Children of the Street)? I had heard they were somewhere in Bolivia…children living under the bridges in La Paz. But their situation always seemed far removed from me. I discovered there is a big difference between hearing about a social issue in a remote area of the world and personally working on it.

Rockin’ with the Naad
Mantras from the Soul
Presented by SpiritVoyage.com

The album Mantras from the Soul was produced in Mexico using percussion, acoustic guitar, and keyboards, and written with beautiful melodies to enhance a meditative spirit. The five mantras on the CD are Har Har Har Har Gobinde, a mantra that praises God´s qualities and gives strength and prosperity to our lives; Sa Ta Na Ma—infinity, life, death, and rebirth—which works on our neutral mind and opens our destiny; Wahe Guru Jio, the mantra of ecstasy praising the Eternal Soul; Ad Gureh Nameh, a mantra of protection; and Guru Ram Das, a mantra that heals, protects, and guides us.

These mantras of protection, prosperity, healing, and elevation serve as guides and inspiration for us during these times as we enter a new era of consciousness.

Power Gems (Italiano)
The Yoga of Gemstones™: Rose Quartz Crystals
By Kudrat Kaur Khalsa, New Mexico, USA

To my way of thinking, there are many similarities between the creation of a beautiful gemstone and the tuning of the ten bodies through the practice of Kundalini Yoga. When we do yoga and chant mantras, we are imposing a structural pressure upon ourselves in order to help us eliminate tension and fill ourselves with radiance, love, and light. In the same way, gemstones are made from pressure, light waves, and the universal sound current.

Sacred Eats

The Blessings of Langar (Italiano)
Recipe: Triple Chili Veggie Pilau
By Siri Ved Kaur Khalsa, California, USA

There is a simple and beautiful tradition, established about 500 years ago in India, in which all people regardless of caste, religion, race, or gender, sit together as equals and share in a blessed meal. No one has special seating or dishes. All sit on the floor and are served together. This is called Langar. At the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, over 10,000 people are served every day in this way! The food there is simple, usually dal (spiced lentil soup), chapattis (whole wheat flat bread) and chawal (rice). Its taste and vibration are very divine because it is prepared and served with constant chanting and prayer. All of the food and labor are donated. It is considered a blessing and privilege to contribute in any way.
