    gurbwnI ivcwr GURBANI CONTEMPLATION 120 ਸਿਮਰਨੁ SIMRAN ਤਜਹੁ ਸਿਆਨਪ, ਿੁਸਰ ਜਨਹੁ; ਸਿਮਰਹੁ ਹਸਰ ਹਸਰ ਰਾਇ Abandon thy cleverness, O good men and remember Lord God, the king. Bwg - 11 PART – 11 ‘KHOJI’ SIMRAN (WORD CONTEMPLATION) Part-11 Briefly the action of ‘Simran’ has two aspects - 1. Extrovert - physical and mental action. 2. Introvert - Spiritual personal experience or ‘Divine Light’. The act of physical and mental ‘Simran’ has been discussed in detail. The connection between these two aspects is discussed below with more examples - Under the earth there is water. We take out this underground pure water to fulfill our needs. To take out this water we must do (boring) into the earth. When the layer of water is reached, the water comes up through a pipe which is inserted through the bored hole. But to bring he water out and get it to flow, we must put a washer in the pipe and work the hand pump. In the newly made bore, in the beginning, water does not come out even after pumping because there is ‘air’ in the pipe. Until the ‘air’ comes out of the pump, the underground water cannot be sucked up. To take the air out of the pump pipe and start the water flow, we must pour water from outside. In this manner as we keep working the hand pump, the air keeps coming out and the water starts flowing continuously. Exactly, the same way, in the spiritual path, we perform boring internally through ‘Simran’. This external effort through Simran can take our consciousness to a certain limited height beyond which it cannot reach the ‘spiritual-sphere’.

  • Once a Householder Sikh Came to See Satguru Sri Guru Har Rai Ji
    Guru Har Rai ji’s sakhis. (The helper of the world) Once a householder Sikh came to see Satguru Sri Guru Har Rai ji, maharaj the king of kings and the saint of saints, and narrated his problem: "O True King, I had a son who grew into a promising young man. He is dead now. I had hoped that he would take over the responsibilities of the household, and that I will come and stay in your service to earn salvation at your door. But my hopes have been shattered. What should 1 do in this plight? This is troubling me constantly." "Tell me how many members are there in your family, and what do you do to make a living?" asked Guru Ji. "O True King, there are two younger sons and a daughter, besides their mother. I am the fIfth. With regard to livelihood, whatever I earn, is used to feed us all," replied the Sikh. "If you are really keen to serve the Guru, start right away. Leave their care to God. He will look after them. You can make your life fruitful," said Maharaj. Page 1 of 3 Guru Har Rai ji’s sakhis. (The helper of the world) "O True King, my thinking is immature. I believe that without me they will perish. You are the Guru. Everything is at your command. Please, show me something to put faith into me." "Do an errand for me. We shall talk about faith, when you return. Deliver a message to my Sikh who lives in a village 50 miles from here." "Please, give me the letter, Maharaj, I will go and deliver this message as quick as I can" requested the Sikh.

  • Conversations with Swami Turiyananda
    CONVERSATIONS WITH SWAMI TURIYANANDA Recorded by Swami Raghavananda and translated by Swami Prabhavananda (This month's reading is from the Jan.-Feb., 1957 issue of Vedanta and the West.) The spiritual talks published below took place at Almora in the Himalayas during the summer of 1915 in the ashrama which Swami Turiyananda had established in cooperation with his brother-disciple, Swami Shivananda. During the course of these conversations, Swami Turiyananda describes the early days at Dakshineswar with his master, Sri Ramakrishna, leaving a fascinating record of the training of an illumined soul by this God-man of India. His memories of life with his brother-disciples at Baranagore, under Swami Vivekananda’s leadership, give a glimpse of the disciplines and struggles that formed the basis of the young Ramakrishna Order. Above all, Swami Turiyananada’s teachings in the pages that follow contain practical counsel on many aspects of religious life of interest to every spiritual seeker. Swami Turiyananda spent most of his life in austere spiritual practices. In 1899, he came to the United States where he taught Vedanta for three years, first in New York, later on the West Coast. By the example of his spirituality he greatly influenced the lives of many spiritual aspirants both in America and India. He was regarded by Sri Ramakrishna as the perfect embodiment of that renunciation which is taught in the Bhagavad Gita Swami Shivananda, some of whose talks are included below, was also a man of the highest spiritual realizations. He later became the second President of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission.

  • To Read John Perry's Full Introduction
    John Perry Barlow, former Wyoming rancher, lyricist for the Grateful Dead, cofounder and vice-chair of the Electronic Frontier Foundation Following is John Perry Barlow's most excellent overview of the experience of the Sixties in his introduction t o Birth of a Psychedelic Culture: Conversations about Leary, the Harvard Experiments, Millbrook and the Sixties by Ram Dass and Ralph Metzner, with Gary Bravo Published by Synergetic Press http://www.synergeticpress.com/shop/birth-of-a- psychedelic-culture/ eBook now available. Foreword In the Beginning … by John Perry Barlow LSD is a drug that produces fear in people who don’t take it. Timothy Leary It’s now almost half a century since that day in September 1961 when a mysterious fellow named Michael Hollingshead made an appointment to meet Professor Timothy Leary over lunch at the Harvard Faculty Club. When they met in the foyer, Hollingshead was carrying with him a quart jar of sugar paste into which he had infused a gram of Sandoz LSD. He had smeared this goo all over his own increasingly abstract conscious- ness and it still contained, by his own reckoning, 4,975 strong (200 mcg) doses of LSD. And the mouth of that jar became perhaps the most sig- nificant of the fumaroles from which the ‘60s blew forth. Everybody who continues to obsess on the hilariously terrifying cultural epoch known as the ‘60s – which is to say, most everybody from “my ge- ge-generation,” the post-War demographic bulge that achieved perma- nent adolescence during that era – has his or her own sense of when the ‘60s really began.

When I see the living, breathing portraits of these characters, especially the early archival footage... To see them intelligent and smart – they were a kind of blessing considering how they have been caricatured in later times. I like what this film explores and I’m glad to be a part of it. Robert Redford “This film is stunning and literally left me speechless. It is so powerful on so many levels, whether personal, political, spiritual or ultimately facing death. It is an amazing piece of work. Thank you so much for doing it. You will make history with it.” Ambassador Joe Wilson “A great piece of work and an extraordinary story well told.” Sting “The film left me open.

  • Bios the Cast Timothy Leary Ram Dass Dr. Andrew Weil
    BIOS THE CAST TIMOTHY LEARY In the early 1960s Harvard psychology professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert began probing the edges of consciousness through their experiments with psychedelics. Leary became the LSD guru, challenging convention, questioning authority and as a result spawned a global counter culture movement landing in prison after Nixon called him “the most dangerous man in America”. RAM DASS Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert, April 6, 1931) is an American contemporary spiritual teacher and the author of the seminal 1971 book ‘Be Here Now’. DR. ANDREW WEIL Dr. Andrew Weil is a physician, author, professor and one of the world’s preeminent media celebrities in the field of medicine and personal growth. He is a long-time advocate for both Western medicine and alternative therapies. Dr. Weil graduated from Harvard University where he was also an undergraduate reporter for the Harvard Crimson. His investigative journalism led to Leary & Alpert’s dismissal from Harvard and the unraveling of their University studies in the use of psychoactive drugs for medical research and treatments. HUSTON SMITH Smith’s book “The World’s Religions” has sold over two million copies and remains a popular introduction to comparative religion. Smith, through his friendship with Aldous Huxley, met Leary and Alpert and others at the Center for Personality Research at Harvard. There, Smith was one of the active participants in Leary and Alpert’s early experiments, particularly “the Good Friday Experiment.” He termed the experiments “empirical metaphysics. His book, “Cleansing the Doors of Perception,” describes his experiences. Smith has both studied and practiced Christianity, mysticism, Vedanta, Zen Buddhism and Sufi Islam.
