More About Our Program

Morning sadhana is a foundation of the Kundalini Yoga experience. Each morning, we begin at 3:40 am with Japji (prayer reading), followed by 45 minutes of Kundalini Yoga, and 62 minutes of meditation to live music. You will encounter your essence in group Sadhana, and facilitate self-healing and transformation.

“Gurdwara” means “gateway” or “door” to the Guru and refers to a place that houses the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the Living Guru of Sikh Dharma. All are welcome to participate in the Gurdwara ceremony. Gurdwara may seem like it is “mostly for Sikhs,” but really, it is for everyone so that we can each recognize the mastery of the inner Self. When each of us comes to bow before the Guru, the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, we are simply bowing to that brightest divine light within ourselves.

A short Gurdwara service is held each day at the end of morning sadhana. We can all experience the naad (sacred sound current) at morning Sadhana and Gurdwara. Morning sadhana and Gurdwara are a celebration of love for the Divine Self that we can all share together. Gurdwara is a unique and powerful devotional service that uses the technology of the Shabd Guru and the sound current of the Naad to connect the individual to the Infinite. Through the sacred sound current, prayer, and prasad (sharing food that has been blessed), our spirits are uplifted and we gain the experience of the Infinite.

We approach the Gurdwara with reverence. Remove your shoes and cover your head. Participants bow and give a donation before the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Although a donation is not required, it reflects an exchange of energy.

Bowing at the Feet of the Guru: We bow our forehead to the ground before the Siri Guru Granth Sahib as an act of humility and reverence, acknowledging that there is an Infinite Power which pervades all.

The Gurdwara Service: The Gurdwara service is a joyous mixture of Kirtan—devotional music and singing in praise of God, and traditional Sikh prayers. Everyone is welcome to join in and sing and meditate together. Following Kirtan are the Anand Sahib (the song of joy and ecstasy), Ardas (our group prayer and projection for the day), and Hukam (an inspired selection from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib). To conclude, Prasad—a sweet made from honey, ghee, water, and flour is served. Then Gurdwara ends and Langar is served.

Music, kirtan, and chanting are a big part of the Summer Solstice experience. We are blessed to have talented, inspiring, devoted musicians to lead us in kirtan, chanting, and sadhana music as our souls connect with the Infinite sound current.

Early Morning Sadhana includes live music for 6 of the 7 meditations in the Aquarian Sadhana. Each year we rotate musicians so a wide variety of wonderful 3HO music is heard. Many musicians have produced Sadhana music albums that can be purchased.

Many of the classes and workshops feature live music, and there are music evenings as well. Bring your voice and be ready to chant with joy!
