Hail Guru Ram Das and
Heal the World
by Yogi Bhajan
There are very many old theories and one of the theories which the Western world does not recognize, and that was a necessity for Christianity to eliminate, is: Avagavan...
Quote of the Month
That shall be the legacy of 3HO. A group of young people had the will to conquer the times, and made a space for themselves in history. Time could not conquer them. And this is not a small thing, in spite of what you may think. This 3HO shall be the most important legacy on this planet for the Age of Aquarius. Sooner or later people will experience a tremendous amount of emptiness which always brings a void. A void brings unhappiness. Then people will want to find a place where they can be healthy, happy, and holy. It all fits in.

Message from the 3HO Chief Executive Officer
Sat Nam,
August brings us the first of four 3HO Global Meditations. We meditate together for Yogi Bhajan’s Birthday Anniversary, the United Nations International Day of Peace, Yogi Bhajan Remembrance Day, and Guru Ram Dass’ Birthday Anniversary. You will find the dates and accompanying meditations and music here.
Global Meditations are a way for us to connect globally, collectively love humanity and Mother Earth, and unite with our best (or highest) selves. Let’s meet there – in the heavenly body of the Divine and the creative consciousness of the 3HO Global Community.
I encourage you to participate in the Global Meditations and organize time for your communities to be together, to meditate and share a meal (tea and treats are good, too) on these days. If you would like some ideas or suggestions on how to organize an event or Global Meditation in your area, please contact Panch Nishan Kaur, 3HO International Community Relations, at PanchNishan@3HO.org or 505.629.1706.
I share this with you in the spirit of the Aquarian Age and in honor of Yogi Bhajan for the anniversary of his birthday:
“In the cosmic energy, our frequency of psyche at the system at which we are parallel, becomes our permanent relationship. It will be like this: Psyche into psyche shall reflect and merge within the psyche and break the duplication and become unisonness when the mental power of the heart is neutral, and a person reaches out, just for seeking God within the other person or creating psyche connection.
All the rest of the people shall suffer. There’s nothing anybody can do. These are the laws of the Earth – they’re not going to change. Making a religion and collecting people is not what we need. There are already so many religions. We need reality, we need identity. We need to identify in the millions that we are out there to heal, out there to serve, out there to be in them. Our religion is to merge into the hearts of everybody, and not get bogged down with what their head is doing.
This is the principal difference between the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius. Aquarius quenches the thirst of everyone, while Pisces is symbolized by two fish biting at the tail of each other. Get out of the water, pick up your pot, and quench the thirst of everyone.”
~ Yogi Bhajan
Now is the time. Drop the past, drop the fear, and move courageously with surefootedness into the future, with wisdom and confidence that the Universe is here to support you and it will provide. You are here to serve, to love, to heal and assist humanity and Mother Earth through this historical transformational time of the Ages. Inhale “Sat,” exhale “Nam.” Truth is my identity, my identity is truth.
Peace to all. Light to all. Love to all. Sat Nam.
Bhajan Kaur

- 108 rounds of a kriya
- 108 minutes of meditation, kirtan or movement meditation
Each Global Mala event can be dedicated to practice or to practice and seva - service by integrating local action, and raising funds for the organization of their choice.

Kundalini Yoga
Meditation for a Neutral Mind
It is easy to hear a truth and difficult to live it, to embed it deeply into your heart and mind. The Neutral Mind opens the gate to that deep remembrance of the self and soul. Jappa done with the refined Neutral Mind leads to Naam chit aveh. The Neutral Mind lives for the touch of vastness. It lets all other thoughts be without disturbance in your constant inner light.
Sit in easy pose with the spine straight. Put both hands in the lap with the palms facing up. Rest the right hand into the left. The thumb tips may touch or not. Remove all tension from every part of the body. Sit straight by achieving a balance. Close the eyes. Imagine seeing yourself sitting peacefully and full of radiance. Then gradually let your energy collect like a flow at the brow point. Let the breath regulate itself into a meditative slow, almost suspended, manner. Concentrate without effort at that point and mentally vibrate in a simple monotone, as if chopping the sound, projecting each syllable distinctly:
Infinity identity from darkness to light.
Call on the higher self and keep going steadily through all barriers.
Let go and let God.
Practice this meditation for 11 to 31 minutes at a session

A Simple Gift That Keeps on Giving!
By Sat Jivan Kaur Khalsa from New York, NY, USA
“He, the great Giver, untiringly gives more and more, while those who receive His gifts grow weary of receiving!”
~ Japji Sahib of Guru Nanak, third pauree, from Peace Lagoon
Yogi Bhajan told us to become “Givers like God”! And Yogi Bhajan set an example because he was a Giver with a capital “G”! He never missed an opportunity to give, share, bless, help, teach, inspire, poke, provoke, confront, or elevate. He stayed alert to every opportunity to give to and to accentuate the positive in everyone he met. He started very early each morning giving. He gave over 2 1/2 hours of time each and every day to God in meditation, prayer, devotion, and worship. And when he finished his sadhana he spent the rest of the day untiringly continuing to serve! He gave us a wonderful and simple formula to practice being a giver.
How can we start? What small gesture could possibly rank with the generosity of the Creative Force of the Universe? Where to begin? What offering can we make to feel and know our natural state of bounty, beauty, and bliss?
Start small and begin to turn you life around for the better. Start with your birthday. On your birthday, bake or buy cookies and bring them to work, play, yoga class, a homeless shelter, a veterans’ hospital, a battered women’s shelter, a cancer ward for children, a nursing home, or kindergarten class. Tell everyone it’s your birthday and in honor of your blessing of being on planet earth you are sharing your joy and happiness by GIVING them a cookie!
There is tremendous joy in giving! It opens people’s hearts and minds and when you also share your smile, devotion, and enthusiasm you can make someone else’s day. Being a giver on your birthday instead of expecting gifts from others is a wonderful doorway to the joy of giving and the prosperity of the Infinite. Try it this year on your birthday and give yourself an experience that will keep you open to other opportunities to be a “Giver like God”!
