Siri Gyan Khalsa is the first American who introduced kundalini yoga in Togo in the early nineteen-eighties. He arrived in Togo as a Peace Corps member, and he was appointed as an English teacher at Lome University. He started sharing the Teachings with Togolese students.

3HO’s First Solstice Gathering
As shared by Livtar Singh Khalsa in the January 2007 Aquarian Times. The charge to attend the first 3HO sponsored Summer Solstice Celebration in 1970 was $5.00. We were outraged! How dare they charge money for a spiritual experience! And so much! It was held at Santa Clara Canyon, some kind of alpine heaven between Espanola and Los Alamos, New Mexico. It had a clear mountain stream, meadows of long sweet grass, and tall, beautiful pine trees. “Wow,” I thought when I first saw it, “This is the kind of place to have an experience.” Little did I know. My…
The Sky of Ram Das Puri
Take a walk down old Saint’s Road, The tents are flapping in the wind that blows, The children’s laughter tells you “you are home”, Feel the dust and breathe in deep, It has come from the saint’s feet, It will take your karmas away, Take you on to home, CHORUS The sky of Ram Das Puri Covers the saints in love, The land of Ram Das Puri The saints below and the stars up above, In the light of Ram Das Puri, Destiny comes clear, And every speck of dust carries an angel to us, Ram Das Puri, Ram Das…
Into the Radiance
Livtar Singh speaks about his song “Into the Radiance”: I have been a new student. Sitting there wondering how it would ever be possible to get to where Yogiji is. I have been the teacher, sitting where Yogiji sits, with the new students in front of me wondering the same thing. I remember wanting Yogiji to just give us that “thing” that would take away the doubt, fear, pain, etc. of living in a physical form. And I see my students wanting this same “thing”. The “thing” is, he had already given us the “thing” — Kundalini Yoga, Sadhana, Naam, Bani,…

Inspiring People through Experiencing and Learning Shabad Guru
Naad Academy “Naad means “the essence of all sounds”. All languages contain sounds which relate to one or more of the five elements of air, fire, water, earth or ether. Gurbani is a perfect combination and permutation of sounds relating to all the five elements in complete balance. When Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Guru Nanak, compiled the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, in 1604, he put in only those banis which were in Naad. These compositions are called Gurbani. There are eighty-four meridian points on the upper palate of a human’s mouth. One can feel that upper palate with the tongue and experience its different surfaces….
