Questions or Consequences
 Back in the days of old, maybe in the late 1980's I wanted to ask Yogi Bhajan a question. Asking any question, was a gamble as the answer might not be what you wanted to hear. The first time I ever asked him a question he said, "There is nothing I can tell you, you are the Guru Granthi. All the answers are in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib".
You could make an appointment with his secretary or you could take a chance to speak to him after weekly class. In Los Angeles he lectured every Tuesday and Thursday that he was 'in town'. He traveled a lot, teaching Tantric Yoga all over the world. The after class time was a public moment. Yet, hardly were there any moments with ONLY Yogi Bhajan listening. He did not consider your business personal or private like you might think.
Those were the days he would relax after class visiting with us & allowing people to come up and greet him. Of course you would assuredly want to bring him a gift if you had a question to ask. I do not re-call what gift I brought him that time. I had made Yogi Bhajan many collages which he loved and hung in his room.
When I mustered the courage I finally asked him how to improve my voice and master Naad and Raga. He replied simply, "do KAURI KRIYA for 31 minutes a day", you can increase to 2 1/2 hours if you like. That was all he said. So it is with a master, you can ask a question, but be prepared to follow through with the directive given. The experience is your sequence or consequence to process..

We will do Kauri Kriya together on Friday December 11, at 7pm at Golden Bridge Yoga NYC. Join the group to boost you through a great and challenging meditation for 62 minutes. See you there.

WORKSHOPS
December 11, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Kauree Kriya with SatKirin Kaur
cost: $25 advance, $30 at door
Saraswatee the Goddess of the Naad embodies the Kauree Kriya, an amazing meditation that opens the thousand-petal lotus, your center of highest human potential. This Naad Yoga intensive will improve your chanting skills and help you cultivate your mastery of the sound current. Dive deeply into your experience of Naad Yoga by finding your voice and the tools for maintaining it. In ancient times, this kriya was practiced by large groups sitting in concentric circles under a dome. Satkirin first did this with Yogi Bhajan for 2 1/2 hours nonstop in 1974. It balances the earth and ether components of your being.
This is an advanced singing meditation of 20 sounds for Vaak Siddhi. According to Yogi Bhajan, it will give you "power over all the Ragas". We will begin with 'Rayaaz' or, vocal practice, to give us knowledge of the notes and the vocal strength to meditate on these 20 sounds for 62 minutes. November 13th

RECENT EVENTS
November was the Thanks-giving month of months. Ironic how the cyber-age complements the connections of people in the world wide spiritual realm. Some of you may be aware that I have a TV show, teaching Kundalini Yoga on "JUS PUNJABI". It is an international broadcast for East Indians.
A viewer of JUS YOGA saw me and decided he wanted me to minister (Guru Granthi) for his daughter's wedding. Magically, this father of the bride found that I was in New York too, as I was listed on his Long Island Gurdwara Sunday Kirtan schedule. He and his wife came to meet me and make the request. A great honor for me to be asked.
You can see us together, Heera Kamboj marrying John Cole at the beautiful Glen Cove
Gurdwara (Mata Sahib Kaur Gurdwara) in Long Island. An amazing cosmic connection for all.
I also was teaching the Mantra and Shabd module for Level I AquarianTeacher Training at Kundalini Yoga of Park Slope with Maha Teacher Trainer Hari Kaur Frank. This is a very wonderful group of trainees who learned to pronounce the mantras in record time. What a beautiful day we had immersing our selves into the Naad (sound current of ecstasy) for 7+ hours.

UNIVERSAL PRAYER
Christmas time is coming once again and here is a great gift for the one you always forget......your soul.
Unique songs of peace and upliftment for the internal self, sung in the ancient mystical language of Saints and Sages of India. The beautiful soothing sounds of Sitar, tabla, and Tanpura and harmonium are combined by Thomas Barquee so masterfully with Bass, guitar, drums and percussion. A rich feminine Western voice set in a blend of East and West, Raga and harmony.
I have found in 37 years of studying this music form, the healing and soothing qualities can benefit all who actually listen with their inner ear of relaxation. These 8 mantra/hymns or prayers have effects for many kinds of human experience or work you wish to accomplish; elevation in relationships, moving through resistance, overcoming self negativity, penetrating the world around us, refining the self, healing. A collection of soothing sounds for the soul in the universal language of the soul voice.

IN THE WORDS OF
YOGI BHAJAN |
|
You can learn by questioning or you can learn by blessing.
When you learn by blessing, you will be bestowed the crown
of spirituality and then Almighty God will love you and shall serve you,
because His entire nature will be at your command.
But when you question, you will go into the cycle of birth and death forever.
Where there's a doubt, man will never find the route.
When you obey, there's nothing to say.
