2 Aquarian Times Letter to our Readers Sat Nam, Welcome to the dawn of the Aquarian Age. Although the day of the actual shift is set in the near future, we are already ex- periencing some of the powerful transformation that this new Age brings. The social, environmental, economic, and political challenges the world is currently facing send a clear message that things can no longer be done the way that they have been. It is time for radical change; old ways of being and doing will no longer work. Speaking of change, you may have noticed that Aquarian Times magazine is now a publication of 3HO Foundation Internation- al. This is one of several significant changes that 3HO will be bringing to you in 2009 and beyond. Based upon your requests (you asked and we heard you), here are some of the exciting things in store for the 3HO Global Community: • A Global Community of Living Yoga. A new dynamic website to connect the 3HO Global Community and serve as a global resource for all your 3HO and Kundalini Yoga as Taught by Yoga Bhajan® related interests. • Advertising Kundalini Yoga as Taught by Yoga Bhajan® in Yoga Journal. Within the last quarter of 2009 and extending through 2010, we will be launching a monthly advertising campaign in the very popular U.S. magazine Yoga Journal. • Yoga Center Partnership Program. A global network for Kundalini Yoga centers to connect with each other and receive valuable resources and services from 3HO Foundation International. • Partnership Programs. For individuals, organizations, and businesses, the use of the 3HO service mark that identifies the user as being a part of the Global Community. • United Nations. 3HO has long been a Non Governmental Organization in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. We are now researching and developing opportunities for the 3HO Global Community to connect to and participate in the work of the United Nations. • IKYTA Teacher Training Associate Membership. A new IKYTA Membership category for Teachers in Level 1 Teacher Training. Begin to receive valuable discounts while you are in a teacher training program, including additional discounts to the Solstice Sadhana Celebrations and International Women’s Camp. • World Market. A fundraising program that promotes your products or services to the 3HO Global Community, which supports a yogic lifestyle, and in return, gives you the opportunity to donate a percentage of the sales back to 3HO that are generated from 3HO promotions. These new programs and innovations are inspired by 3HO Foundation International’s ongoing commitment to working in partnership with the 3HO Global Community. This commitment is grounded in our tradition of service and is at the heart of everything we do and how we do it. We pride ourselves on being partners with and serving EVERYONE. We encourage you to take the time to contact us with your questions and input regarding 3HO. The challenges we face today are shared concerns and can best be addressed together. In this time of vast need and great change, our interconnected world demands a freshly recast consciousness and a revolution in ways of being. The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan© give us that. Together we will accomplish what no single organization or person can solve or do alone. Aquarian Times is your magazine and we continue to look forward to receiving your input and comments to help keep your magazine vibrant and relevant to you. The greatest miracle is unity Yogi Bhajan In unity, Bhajan Kaur Sada Sat Singh Khalsa Siri Ram Kaur Khalsa Chief Executive Officer Chairman of the Board Editor in Chief

You will ask me the question, “If I start doing that all the time, what will happen to me?” Then the big forklift called God will come, and He will go into the dirt and lift you up. Is there a better deal than that? Please remember, we are here to start an era, to start an Age, to celebrate the transition from the Piscean Age into the Aquarian Age. We are here to celebrate that. We are the pioneers. We are the pioneers of the Dharma. Let’s bow our heads in prayer and let us open our hearts. Let us walk on this blessed land for a few days in spirit. With these words, with your likes and dislikes, your loves and hatreds, your affection and understanding, I hope you will carry the Guru’s1 words to all the lands, cross the boundaries which have never been crossed, touch the boundaries which have never been touched, walk into hearts which have never been open, shake hands which hate to be shaken, go and bring people out of their holes so they can be holy, and pull people out of their heights, so they can save their height in the eyes of God. You should be smart, learn the art, and go across the world and heal God’s creation. This is your job, and what you are actually going to say is, “Hail, hail Guru Ram Das2 and heal the world.” Your job is to heal the world and elevate and up- lift everybody.

Silence of the land, sounding of the ocean,

Speak of one message, ‘stand at zero.’

An inner solitude and solace,

Where the heart shall be set free.

The touch of the heart, always a caress,

Like a memory of gold at the end of each rainbow.

Both hope and life felt strongly,

How easy we become our own prison.

But when light touches our face and our minds,

When birds sing, winds whisper

And bees weave liquid gold,

Then sounds become music, silence sings.

So smile for a moment, each moment, each breath,

Know you are not what you have and not what you do,

You are what you are, you are always yourself,

Able to use or waste, to grasp or to give, c om qu a ri nvision.

let others down, and you don’t let others let down others. It works three ways; it has three dimensions to it. You have to have that deep understanding. What we are trying to do in this course is to give you actual prep- aration for the Age of Aquarius, give you this basic knowledge which will work. Piscean knowledge won’t work. Your gains won’t work, your obnoxious or very fundamental excuses won’t work. Because the Aquarian Age is the Age of Knowledge: “I know, I can deliver you.” The Piscean Age was, “I want to know, deliver me.” It’s totally one hundred-eighty degrees opposite. You’ll be surprised. We are only a couple of months into it. Just tell somebody, “I’m sorry.” He’ll say, “Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. How many times have you been sorry?” People’s attitudes have changed—no fault of anybody. Promises, excuses, games, moods—they will eliminate you out of your life very fast. When the Age changes, that’s what happens to people. If they don’t change fast enough to match up to the requirement of the psyche of the time, their psyche becomes non-functional, non-communicative, mute. Then finally, they are left in a corner. The Aquarian Age is going to corner all

25 Meditation to Develop the Frontal Lobe and Hypothalamus Taught by Yogi Bhajan, August 8, 2000

There are three stages of time. One is yesterday, one is today, and one is tomorrow… And there is no such thing as tomorrow. If tomorrow does not become today, there shall be no tomorrow. You cannot meet tomorrow face to face. What do you think? Tomorrow will become today and then it will face you… Birds have no worry of tomor- row. They only make their nest when they are to lay their eggs. That is their only tomorrow. And when it’s over, everything is over. Have you seen birds coming and opening a bank account? Or car- rying a packet of food with them? No. They are not subject to the limits of time and space. They fly, they go. Where they see food, they get it. They are constantly living in today. But you as human beings live today and work for tomorrow, which you can- not face. That’s why some are too rich, some are too poor, some are too angry…

he Sikh Gurus compiled a guide for the upliftment of humankind through songs, collected in the Siri Guru TGranth Sahib or Shabd Guru. Each Shabd, or song, gives an inheritance, a spiritual DNA that establishes our identity and lineage with Infinity. The words in shabds have a specific sound pattern and rhythm. When reciting Gurbani (the language of the shabd), the pressure of the tongue on the upper palate stimulates the eighty-four meridian points in a precise sequence. This pro- cess of recitation creates corresponding patterns in the neurons of the brain to stimulate the hypothalamus. This, in turn, causes the pineal gland to radiate. The glandular system balances, and you experience ecstasy and increased intuition. As we usher in the Aquarian Age, singing these shabds is said to be the most effec- tive way to alleviate tension and confusion. It takes a lot of milk and a lot of effort to make a little but- ter; and when you churn the tongue in the cave of the mouth, it takes a lot of repetition and time to manifest the effects. When you choose a shabd to work with, ideally you recite In the meditation for a wise heart, Aad Gureh Nameh, we also sing it eleven times a day or sing it for thirty-one minutes a day, the English translation.

50 Aquarian Times 51 Building an Ark for the Age By Atma Kaur Khalsa, Massachusetts, USA

t’s now 2009. Each passing day, month, year carries us closer to the day when the transition from the Piscean IAge to the Aquarian Age will finally have arrived. We ask ourselves, “What will it be like?”—not just the years that will follow this entry into the new Age, but also the years that come before it. I have given a lot of thought to this shift. Yogi Bhajan spoke about the types of changes we would encounter. He spoke about natural disasters, information overload, and ultimate group consciousness. Still, there are so many questions I would like to have asked him. I can’t say what the future holds in store for us. What I can say, however, is that while questions remain about the outcome, it is really the journey that is important. Studying at Miri Piri Academy has opened me up to a world of self initiative. It has inspired me to keep developing my-

n the Aquarian Age there are no secrets! Information is avail- able. Finding it is not the central task any longer… The Igreatest power will be your Word, your consciously projected words. The mind is changing its sensitivity, its basic frequency and functioning. Our lifestyle is changing its sense of time, space, relatedness, and relevancy… We have always experienced change, but rarely with this intensity and speed and never with this scope and vastness. The change is on all levels of life at once. It is not sequential and orderly, nor is each step predictable. And it affects each one of us personally. This is an Age of Paradox—more global and more individual… everything is faster and we have less time. We need far more love and unity for we have more fear and tremendous insecurity. Stami- na and constant peak performance are the common benchmarks to evaluate every person and their work, and the need is to go inward and regenerate. We require a reconciliation and integration of the spiritual side of life with the technological and material sides. There are warning signs of personal breakdown and information overload everywhere… We have a massive capacity for storage. The number of neural connections goes into the trillions, but the capacity to process the information of the senses and the stored in- formation of experience is severely limited… We must be able to Shabd Guru The Shabd Guru is a special kind of technology with a unique con- We need the experience tribution to develop potentials and handle the problems of the Aquarian Age.
