INSPIRATIONAL BLESSINGS

Be the driver, not a passenger in the vehicle of your life . . . then drive the road from where you are to who you are!

These Inspirational Blessings renew and build our vision — Daily — by igniting, inspiring and then actualizing our conscious focus.

INSPIRATIONAL BLESSINGS

Pressure, friction, stress and tension are the bonding forces that hold the atoms and molecules of matter together . . . they will always be here as long as we are. Matter is the stage on which the play known as "Creation" unfolds.
How do you work with those forces that bond us . . . how do you handle the pressure, the friction, the stress and the tension? This is how your story is told.

Guru Singh Teaching in Seattle - The Next Evolution - A Workshop in Self Realization and Mastery

Sunday July 27th 1:30pm - 5:30pm
University Friends Meetinghouse
4001 9th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98105

Any questions?—-call Guruperkarma at 323-938-0611


We are the ultimate manifestation of an infinite and glorious mind. Before coming to Earth, we consciously roamed as Spirit in the infinite cosmic soup, collecting the elements and values to build our physical, emotional and mental bodies in a fervent drive to exist. This drive was coming from the depths of our spiritual DNA . . . ancient messages and vital dreams of purpose, all combining into life.

Now that we have this life, come join me in using the incredible Kundalini technology of yoga, meditation, music, mantra, life-style and mind-style, to master this incomparable opportunity of being alive, being on Earth, being magnificent and being Hu-Man.

"We know what we want, we get what we expect. We rarely know what we expect until we get it," said Yogi Bhajan in January 1972.

When our desires do not equal our expectations, we fill the gap with concern, doubt and fear, or with hurt feelings and disappointment. Getting in touch with our expectations can be a very painful emotional process—-why most of humanity never goes there—-or it can be a painless path of consistent spiritual discipline where: 1) Yoga clears the body's rigid interference by becoming flexible; 2) Chanting clears the brain's predisposed noise with directed sound—-vibrations of intent; 3) Meditation clears our emotional disturbances with self-realization and awareness.

"Life becomes mastery, rather than a mystery," Yogi Bhajan taught in March 1969.

The old-and universally accepted-ways of spiritual and religious education were where teachers sequestered themselves in carefully maintained hierarchies of exclusivity; wisdom was held onto as a proprietary commodity to be sacrificially earned. The new enlightened way of teaching is through communities of inclusion-like the one we are building here—-where wisdom is treated as a humanly inherent reality—-though mostly dormant—-to be entrained and ignited through teaching openly and publicly.

When Yogi Bhajan came to the West in 1968 he was warned by the keepers of the old ways, that to break the old rules would be a fatal flaw causing his death within a year. His response was, "Good . . . it will be the best year of my life." For the record . . . he lived 36 more beautiful years and built Kundalini Yoga as a world-wide brand.

I was born in Seattle in 1945; I know what community spirit exists here in the Pacific Northwest . . . it lives with me as I teach the Kundalini Experience all around the globe. Join me as we continue to build our profound spiritual community here in the Northwest and Globally.

The Turtles of Avalon 1963 - 2008

Sat Nam Dear Ones,

A little history . . .

Forty five years ago—-at the age of 18—-several friends and I traveled from Seattle to Southern California in search of summer jobs on Catalina Island. We all settled in Avalon, Catalina Island for the summer, and several summers thereafter, landed our various jobs and became members of an old island social club called Turtles of Avalon. We have all gone on to make successes of our lives—-the stories are thick like family treasures—-and the love and memories came flooding back as we gathered together this weekend—-back on the Island—-to celebrate our 45 year reunion. We were also here to commemorate the lives of two of our dear brothers and members, who passed beyond Earth within this past year—-David Mimbu, my friend and guitar mentor since grade school, and James Philbrook, a dear brother and philosopher to us all.


Avalon Harbor


Those who could make it this weekend - John, Tom, Michele, myself and my wife, Ed, Mike, Geoff and Chris

Are you a Turtle . . . ?

Always with Sacred Love, Blessings, Prayer and Gratitude . . .

Class Video (updated) 3HO Summer Solstice 2008 New Mexico



Sat Nam — Dear Ones,

New Mexico —- The Land of Enchantment

Photograph of our lively and vivacious Kundalini Yoga class in our open air shelter—-commonly referred to as The White Tantric Shelter. The weather causes the no walls and a 40 foot high ceiling to dissipate the heat.

Teaching here at the Summer Solstice where 2,000 active Kundalini Yogis are gathered to celebrate our Sun's highlight of the year. Here is the yoga class which will be available (audio, video and transcription) to all those who are signed up at The Guru Singh Global Community.



Morning Sadhana gathers daily at 3:45AM when the entire camp comes together to do prayer, Kundalini yoga, chanting and meditations.
As our Sadhana comes to an end the sun is rising over the tops of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains—-the smell of fresh brewed Yogi Tea fills the air—-and the morning activities begin in earnest.

A camp favorite is the morning Bhangra Dance classes that bring out the blood warming movement of every part of the body. The nights are cool to cold and the days are warm to hot here in the lovely Jemez Mountain foothills.

Yogic warmups before White Tantric Yoga—-Tantric Yoga runs all day for 3 days during every Summer Solstice. This year the weather was very kind to us with cloud covers and light rain showers.

62 minutes of the White Tantric Blind Walk where ten people—-their eyes closed—-are lead through the fields of Ram Das Puri's (Summer Solstice Site) 150 acres by a monitor with eyes open. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains can be seen in the background—-a constant reminder of how clear the air is that we breathe. The water we drink  comes from our own well 835 feet deep—-the week of Solstice is spent living in this pure environment.

Miri Piri Academy—-our school in India—-presents an evening talent show. Children of all ages and from all over the world participated. Here, 11 year old Shiv Unter Kaur performs a Bhangra dance while uncle Harimandir Jot Singh joins her.

Inspirational crafts, CD's, DVD's, healing modalities and much more are presented at the Solstice Bazaar! With people here from all over the world participating this Bazaar is like a global marketplace of consciousness. Here, Lisa Schiavello (Gurudeep Kaur) our Art and Brand Director, Jimmy Balodimas (student from New York City) and myself sit at the booth of The Guru Singh Global Community.

Early in the morning, right after Sadhana
(yoga, meditation, chanting and prayer) under the shelter of Solstice's main teaching area—-(from the left) Jayson Weisz, Hari Purkh (our daughter), Guruperkarma (my wife), myself, and Jimmy Balodimas. The best way to start the day—-inspired by yoga and meditation and with friends.

Every morning several—-20 to 60—-of us get out of bed at 2:00AM to then at 2:30AM walk through the tents of the camp for an hour, singing to wake up everyone else . . . "Rise up, rise up sweet family dear . . . " We then assemble for our all camp Morning Sadhana at 3:45AM where we do prayer work, Kundalini yoga, chanting and meditation, all before the rise of the sun.


Always with Love, Blessing, Prayer and Gratitude,
Guru Singh and Guruperkarma Kaur

Happy Father's Day


Sat Nam Dear Ones,

Fathers are—for so many children—some of the most effective yet indirect teachers on this planet. They give their wisdom in so many ways and we realize the extent of that wisdom so many years later. As we celebrate this day—our hearts and prayers go out to the fathers of this world. Bless them the world over and keep them safe in this time that is targeting them in man's quest for physical dominance and psychological survival.

Our cultures are such today that they drive compassion from heart and soul of our villages . . . it is often the fathers who are caught in the battle at the crossroads. Let us take the time today to say a conscious prayer for the fathers of this world and bless them to be strong in their attempts to end these battles.

This (to the left) is the art of my father—-an artist, philosopher, yogi and great husband to our mother for 50 years—-also a great and constant teacher to me and my sister—and so many others—while he was on this Earth . . . even more so now.

As I wrote before, his sayings ring in my ears to this day.





Always with Love, Blessings, Prayer and Gratitude,
Guru Singh and Guruperkarma Kaur

Chant this Mantra to Focus the Mind in Summer


Summer is a time when the sun comes out and so do we. Activities of Summer can cause a disconnect between the brain and the body if we do not practice our efforts of focusing.

Chant this mantra to focus, structure, discipline and empower the mind.
Chant along with this recording.

Download | Duration: 00:07:41



HOW TO CHANT—Begin by taking a full breath through the nose and Chant
Ek Ong Kar
Take another full breath through the nose and Chant
Sat Nam Siri
Now take a half breath through the nose and Chant
Wha - hey Guru
Take another full breath and begin the mantra again
This is an eight (Ashtang) beat mantra. 8 is the symbol of the human 0 "below" — meeting the Infinite 0 "above" in Sacred Numerology. That is the symbology of the figure 8 (the big wheel turning the little wheel).  Lay it on its side and it becomes the sign of infinity .

The conscious mind relates to words and meanings. The sub-conscious and higher-conscious mind — which make up 95% of our mental body — relate to the symbols of imagery, and the sounds of melodies (ragas) and rhythms (taals). This is why art and music can move us at levels far deeper than any words can.

Even though it is vastly more important what a mantra does physically than what it means mentally, the intellect always wants to know meanings — Ek Ong Kar means One Creator created the creation. Sat means life/truth and Nam means identity of life. Siri means great beyond description and Wahe Guru means — WOW infinite light comes from infinite darkness, the reality of the Cosmos.

Always with Sacred Love, Blessings, Prayer and Gratitude . . . Sat Nam,
Guru Singh and Guruperkarma Kaur
