Infinite Health
by Dr. Siri Atma Singh Khalsa, NM, USA


Healing Life is not about earthly outcomes, riches or a perfect body. The question I find most valuable in working with yoga students and patients is: Can you listen to and act on the voice of your soul? The simple act of not listening to that voice can lead to your fate; conversely, acting on the voice of your soul can deliver you to your destiny. You are on these parallel tracks your whole life, and at each stage in your spiritual growth the test is of greater magnitude until you are free of ego.

The job of a Spiritual Teacher is to help us overcome the trap of ego, which makes us act out of selfish personal concerns. When I was taking care of Yogi Bhajan’s physical form, I would discuss his physical health and my medical recommendations with him. He was very gracious. I can still hear his words, “Now we know the probability, let’s see what God wants.” He would figuratively sit on his hands and do nothing.

And the next day when he was fine despite my warning, he would look me in the eye, and without saying a word I could hear him say clear as a bell, “My soul is set. I’ve done everything I’m supposed to do in this life. I’m not worried about my body; I'm worried about your soul.”

He taught me that ego is an illness of the soul. It causes us to act out of survival mode instead of group consciousness. And that is what we’re to heal to be healthy, happy and holy as yogis. The remedy is sacrifice and service; actions that are truly anti-ego in nature.

Salud infinita
by Dr. Siri Atma Singh Khalsa, NM, USA

La vida no se trata de resultados terrenales, riqueza y cuerpos perfectos. Lo que más valioso encuentro de trabajar con estudiantes de yoga y pacientes es saber si ¿Puedes escuchar y actuar siguiendo la voz de tu alma? El simple acto de no escuchar esta voz puede conducirte a tu suerte; en cambio, actuar escuchando la voz de tu alma puede hacerte dar con tu destino. Transitas sobre estas pistas paralelas toda la vida y en cada etapa de tu crecimiento espiritual las pruebas son de mayor magnitud hasta que estás libre de ego. El trabajo de un Maestro Espiritual es ayudarnos a vencer la trampa del ego, la cual nos hace representar nuestras inquietudes egoístas personales. Cuando me estaba haciendo cargo del cuerpo físico de Yogi Bhajan, yo discutía sobre su salud y mis recomendaciones médicas con él. El era muy cortés. Aún puedo escucharlo decir “Ahora sabemos la probabilidad, veamos lo que Dios quiere”. De forma figurada él se desentendía del tema y no hacía nada. Y al día siguiente él estaba bien a pesar de mi advertencia, él me veía a los ojos y, sin pronunciar una palabra lo podía escuchar decir, claro como una campaña, “Mi alma está lista. He hecho todo lo que se supone que debía hacer en esta vida. No estoy preocupado por mi cuerpo; estoy preocupado por tu alma”. El me enseñó que el ego es una enfermedad del alma. Se manifiesta cuando actuamos como si de sobrevivir se tratara en vez de hacerlo en una conciencia grupal. Y esto es lo que nosotros debemos curar para ser sanos, felices y santos como yoguis. El remedio es sacrificio y servicio; acciones que verdaderamente son anti-ego por naturaleza.

Wake Up and Roar...
By Siri Datta Kaur, United Kingdom


Healing You know that feeling … when suddenly a surge of wild energy soars through you? Perhaps triggered by a club anthem, walking into a stadium at a football match, or when you are just about to leap from a bungee … and of course, the moment when your lips kiss against the lover of your dreams!

What is that? I have asked that very question since the age of 12 after feeling it within rush through for the first time. What is that surge, that rush, that aliveness that fills your whole being, and in that moment you are IT ALL.Why does the heart pound? Why do the hairs on your arms rise up in unison? Why does every goose bump protrude and why do we find ourselves smiling from ear to ear and yet still feel that the happiness inside is going to burst through us and we may explode?

That, my friend, is Shakti, pure creative, raw life force. That is the promise of energy that awaits us all. That mysterious serpentine uplifting essence is our birthright. We all have that within us; it lies dormant because of our allegiance to our minds and the low standards that we set for ourselves.

This is our LIFE!!!! We may not have another chance!

Draw closer and I shall reveal what I have experienced to be true. Let me share with you the keys to supreme life and daily creative juice. Allow me to whisper the secrets of the Gods, the hidden knowledge of the Ones, who knew how to simply become all that we are capable of in this lifetime.

“Wake Up and Roar” is a 3-part article on Raw Nutrition and the Livin' Lifestyle. Part 1 reveals the WHY of embarking on a Raw Diet. Part 2 explains HOW to get started, and finally, Part 3 demystifies WHAT happens next.

Two years ago I embarked on a raw food lifestyle, after being diagnosed with Candida. The very next day I began a 100% raw diet, as an experiment to see whether I could restore myself back to awesome great health, to eliminate the Candida, which I was told could take years, and to inquire whether this Californian fad was all it was cracked up to be.

Within 3 weeks I recognized that I was onto something of extreme value. Weight was dropping off me, I was requiring less sleep, I would wake up in the morning with passion and my skin and eyes were beginning to shine from the inside. I was changing … There was something fresh about my body, there was a luminescence, I could see the light inside shining through.

I investigated what was going on.

I discovered some startling facts:

Fat is an over-acidification of the body. Fat is saving your life; fat is a response from the body to an alarming over-acidic condition!

Through the absorption of raw foods only I understood that I was changing my body from acidic into alkaline. This is the first process that kicks in when beginning a raw diet. We need to understand that the body creates fat cells to take acid away from the vital organs. All the acid that has been stored in your fat cells in your body begins to break down and is passed out through all elimination points (bowels, kidney, skin, lungs and nose).

This acid has come from meat, fish, yeast, mushrooms/fungi (and the waste products of these living organisms), tea, coffee, dairy, alcohol, tobacco and wheat, among the main culprits.

I realized that I was ingesting the energy from these living fruits and vegetables to restore my whole being. My diet was feeding me energy, not depleting it. I was absorbing the vital life force present in my foods. This added energy jumpstarted the natural detoxing period that blessedly comes from this Raw Nutrition Diet.

I began to experience the detox zone as the acid began to come out. To assist with this vital and necessary phase I began weekly coffee enemas, which I preformed in the solitude of my bathroom. Detoxing can reveal itself as spots, colds, lethargy, aches and pains within the body, emotional outbursts, mood swings and sometimes zero energy. I began noticing that the detoxing came in waves, it certainly was not linear. Our bodies continue to cleanse through the layers of debris within in waves, it is not a constant process, the sun eventually shines between the clouds, and when you shine – wow! It’s worth the detox zone.

David Wolfe, author of The Sunfood Diet Success System, states that 1 month of 100% Raw Food will clear 1 year of the debris left behind from a cooked toxic diet from your body. So work out how long you have been on a cooked diet (your whole life – right?) and then equate that into the amount of time you would need to be 100% Raw to finally cleanse your whole system.

Detoxification can be the greatest event of your life, as it reveals the body’s true condition. This process begins from deep within and works its way out. Interestingly enough it begins from the head down and symptoms occur in reverse order from the way they developed. Disease comes into the body first in the ether, then the mental bodies, progressing into emotions and finally residing within the physical body; as we detox, the disease is released in reverse, within the cleansing of the physical first, then the emotions, then the mind and finally the aura and the whole subtle anatomy.

The process of detoxing begins as soon as the blood becomes thinner than the lymph fluid, allowing the trapped toxins within the lymph to diffuse back into the blood to be eliminated. Clean and light foods thin the blood.

If you felt that you were beginning to detox too quickly, you could introduce heavier foods such as coconuts, avocados, nuts, seeds and slightly steamed vegetables.

As soon as cooked food enters your mouth detoxification stops immediately. Our inner environment has been deprived of oxygen and your cells literally begin choking to death. Over-acidification poisons our cells and destroys our DNA.

In short the National Standard Diet that we are advised to maintain is in factual evidence weakening us, numbing us out, dampening our life force, dulling our creativity and then, in turn, from our weakened DNA we go on to create a next generation of human beings living well below par, where we have all the ingredients on this planet to be radiantly alive and bursting with beauty, strength and vitality.

Mysteriously enough, when combined with Kundalini Yoga and its ignition of deeper levels of awareness and being, this raw food lifestyle revealed to me the magical energies of passion, purpose and the drive to create and make changes and differences within my life. I began to ask myself “What is my life about?” “What am I willing to live for?” “What am I willing to die for?”

If you have never asked these questions – you are not living yet.

So I studied this alkalizing process, and I began to take a product from the US called “Supergreens” by Innerlight. A supplement that consists of 49 different powered greens, grasses and sprouts, along with a prime pH balanced liquid. This took me from first to second gear. What I discovered is that it is the greens that boost this alkalizing process. I made sure that I had a luscious green salad everyday and I was aware that it was foods such as cucumbers, wild herbs, fresh green juices and celery that were the most alkaline.

After 6 months I noticed that the sugar cravings had subsided, the urge for coffee and bread didn’t turn me crazy any longer and that I was now sold on this way of life and hungered for more experiments into and experiences of how far this supreme radiant health could evolve.

So you have to ask yourself – “How do I truly feel?”

What is keeping you from experiencing the lean, healthy and truly energetic body that you deserve?

Are you content to continue feeling lethargic, uncreative and halfhearted in your passions?

I suspect not...

And neither was I.

Kundalini Yoga for People Living with Diabetes
By Shanti Shanti Kaur, NM, USA


Diabetes is rapidly becoming one of the world’s most common diseases. In the United States alone:

  • Approximately 1 in 11 adults has diabetes
  • Diabetes is the 6th leading cause of death and the leading cause of kidney failure
  • Annual cost for people known to have diabetes exceeds $220 billion in medical expenses, disability and lost productivity


In spite of having received education on self-management, many people with diabetes feel powerless over the disease and unable to adhere to medically recommended self-care regimens. In addition, studies indicate that nearly a third of people with diabetes suffer from depression, a barrier to self-care.

Kundalini Yoga practice has been shown to be of measurable benefit to people with diabetes, resulting in improved glucose regulation in both fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels. Recognizing this, the Guru Ram Das Center for Medicine and Humanology has developed the Diabetes Health Promotion Program, an 8-week behavioral health skill-building course designed to instruct people living with diabetes in the application of Kundalini Yoga to improve their health.

The program helps participants meet several of the self-care behaviors set forth by the American Association of Diabetes Educators, including physical activity, healthy coping and reducing risk of complication. Program participants benefit from stress reduction and alleviation of the symptoms of depression through practice of meditation and specially selected kriyas. The program also offers self-care skills training and fosters sangat by encouraging friends and family to participate in the course.

This course was developed under the guidance of Yogi Bhajan and launched in May 2004. Diabetes Health Promotion Program participants report a reduction in anger, depression, and anxiety and an improvement in spiritual well-being, and an overall improved quality of life. So that the program’s benefits can reach the widest audience, the GRD Center provides training to certified Kundalini Yoga teachers worldwide.

They are offering the 3HO Global Community a 10% discount off all systems with free shipping in the continental United States. Living Waters will donate 10% of the cost of each system sold to 3HO Foundation. Use the discount code: 3HO. Visit Living Waters

About the LivingWaters™ Technology

LivingWaters™ Engineered Water Treatment Systems is the co-developer and exclusive U.S. distributor for the capillary membrane technology known as LifeStraw® or SafeWater Technology when it is combined with other technologies into a point-of-use drinking water system.

This new technology represents a dramatic breakthrough in the field of water treatment. Forbes magazine ranks water treatment along with gene therapy and fuel cells as one of the “Ten Things That Will Change the Way We Live.” View a video about this technology; the Forbes magazine article is available as a podcast or download.

Capillary membranes are currently the only practical way to guarantee a continuous flow of water that is guaranteed safe from cysts, bacteria, molds, spores and 99.95% of viruses all without the need for power and water waste. This has enormous implications anywhere, but particularly for people in underdeveloped countries where 70% of all deaths are from water-related diseases.

Not only is a LivingWaters™ system the only way to guarantee water that is microbiologically safe even during a power outage or boil alerts (just when you need it the most), but it is also one of the only ways to remove chloramine from drinking water. Chloramine (the combination of chlorine and ammonia) is being used by more and more municipalities to disinfect water; however, new research is emerging that suggests that showering in chloraminated water can cause lung damage (especially in younger children) as well as skin irritation. Drinking it can cause gastric irritation and acid reflux in sensitive individuals and it has recently been discovered that it creates disinfection by-products in water that may be even more toxic than those produced by chlorine. Unfortunately, chloramine is not removed by standard carbon filters, nor is it removed by distillers or reverse osmosis (RO) systems. In fact, distillers and RO systems work to concentrate this toxic chemical in the product water.

The LivingWaters™ system is also as effective as RO at removing fluoride, arsenic,and other common water contaminants, yet the technology acts like a water ionizer in that it retains healthy alkaline minerals, yet, unlike a water ionizer, it doesn’t concentrate dangerous toxic metals like lead and arsenic into the product water, doesn’t require power to work, and is far less expensive.

Special Discount: 3HO Foundation has made special arrangements with the manufacturer of these systems for our Global Community to receive a 10% discount off all systems with free shipping in the continental United States. In addition, LivingWaters™ will donate 10% of the cost of any system purchased by the Global Community to the 3HO Foundation. For more information or to take advantage of this opportunity visit LivingWaters™ and when making your purchase, use discount code: 3HO

LivingWaters™ offers a complete satisfaction or 90-day money back guarantee and the systems themselves have a lifetime limited warranty on all parts except replaceable cartridges.



Thailand Hosts First Asia Yoga Festival
By Suraj Kaur, Sydney, Australia


There was palpable excitement in the air at Baan Phu Whan, Thailand, as people came together from all over Asia: Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand. . .different cultures and different languages, but all with a common purpose. It felt as if Sunder Singh Khalsa was calling everyone together, to feel and be a community, part of the 3HO worldwide family.

In this serene retreat centre set on a lake with beautiful gardens and pagodas we laughed, we cried and we shared. There were moments of bliss and moments of deep pain but slowly the connection to the Divine opens and strengthens and love pours in. The power of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®.

For many of us from local communities it was awesome being in the guidance of so many amazing teachers. Gurucharan Singh and Sunder Singh taught Mind & Meditation Level 2, and then were joined by Bibiji Inderjit Kaur and a diverse mix of teachers from different countries for the Asia Festival. Many people had the opportunity to experience White Tantric Yoga® for the first time.

About 80% of those attending were Kundalini Yoga teachers. There was the realization that we have a vibrant growing spiritual community that is extending out in many directions. We don’t need to share the same spoken language if we share from the heart. To be part of this community is the grace of the guru. We are supported. We are loved. We are free to grow. And in that we serve. We spread back out like Indra’s web, across the world, to share and to spread the teachings.

Join us in November for the second Kundalini Yoga Festival Asia
