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.

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.
