Sat Nam in the Pentagon

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam - this is a report showing our mantra as an option in the

Pentagon meditation / prayer room. Let's face it - before the Siri

Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan) came to the West this was no where near a

possibility for this to be included in such a booklet. Sometimes we

have no idea how far our influence runs.

 

Here is the report

 

PEACE MEDITATIONS AT THE PENTAGON AND THE SPIRITUAL DEFENSE INITIATIVE

(SDI) The Pentagon Center for Ministry in Room 3A1054 has a meditation

room open during normal duty hours for personal prayer or contemplation.

 

Every Friday afternoon at 3 PM there is a Pentagon Peace Meditation

organized by Pentagon workers.

 

Here are verbatim excerpts from a booklet published by the Pentagon

Meditation Club:

 

THE PROCESS

 

Step 1 - Repeat the following words mentally, pausing after each

sentence, while closing your eyes:

 

"I direct my thoughts to the world of my inner being . I forgive myself

for all my perceived wrong-doing to myself and to others . I ask for

grace to experience my true nature, the God within me, love . I am a

being of love . I am light . Deep within myself I am peaceful . Now, I

experience the silence within me as I use the Holy Word, God's name to

quiet my mind and free me ."

 

Step 2 - With eyes closed, mentally repeat for a period of time that

seems right to you, your favorite name of God (or Creator, Source, the

Universe, etc.). You might select from: JESUS, or ADONAI (YHWH), or

JEHOVAH, or ALLAH, or RAM, or BRAHMAN, or SATNAAM, or RADHA-KRISNA, or

BAHA'U'LLAH, or AUM (OM) or GREAT SPIRIT, or any other name you have for

God.
