Nothing has changed.’ And I sayd, ‘Well, sir, this is very interesting because I thought we were, you know, we’re supposed to be agents of change in this Aquarian Age; and he says: ‘See?

Your Favorite Practice: Ishnaan, the Cold Shower
My name is Gurudein Singh, I’m from Chile. My favorite Kundalini practice is Ishnaan: Waking up in the morning and taking a cold shower. Even when it’s like super difficult and you’re like freezing and everything.

“How can I learn to be alone and not get anxious or depressed?” with Mukta Kaur Khalsa
“Many times, we prevent ourselves from being alone because we’re insecure. We may always need somebody around — somebody to talk to, somebody to be with, somebody to keep our mind busy — so we don’t have to look within.

It gives us the ability to say, ‘Thank you.’ And with that, we…

Lecture on Maturity (part 1) | Yogi Bhajan
Maturity brings clarity and purity, so that other people can trust. Maturity brings trust and faith. Maturity is the foundation of the goodwill of a person, a business, or any identity in the world as it is. So, maturity is a security for the purity of prosperity. And prosperity may not be all and everything, but in relative reality, prosperity also comes from the capability of extending yourself, making your promises come true, making your words be true, showing your emotions and affection, and expressing your realism in a non-real way. Therefore, it is effective.

How Can I Find My Purpose In Life? | Gurubachan Singh Khalsa answers
What a wonderful question. It’s very simple: ask yourself. That’s all you have to do. Ask yourself. Meditate, and ask yourself. But let me tell you what our general purpose in life is.
