Yogi Bhajan

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends

 

Sat Nam!

 

I just got the latest 3HO newsletter. To celebrate the Love and Legacy of

Yogi Bhajan they propose activities such as a "bouncing space walk". Also

"You can snack on popcorn or munch on appetizers while filling your gift bag

with our wonderful Golden Temple products. Stroll around the bazaar, stop

and shop and enjoy a variety of consultations (astrology, Bach flowers,

gemstones, palm reading and much more) at the various booths. There is also

a raffle so remember to get your raffle tickets!"

 

?????

 

Is this really the best way they can find to commemorate the life and times

of Yogi Bhajan? This sad parody of an event does nothing but detract from

the vast legacy of an individual who achieved so much and whose memory many

of us revere.

 

I for one will certainly not be attending.

Sat Nam Gurveer Ji,

One of the first things I remember Yogi Bhajan saying to me, and

others, when I first came into Sikh Dharma was "don't get involved with

the personalities". I have had to remind myself so regularly, at times,

it was almost like a mantra.

The best is to see the G.O.D. in all, as Yogiji chose to do for a few

decades.

I imagine there will something other than balloons, painted ponies and a

"bouncing space walk".

"Ain't no thing but a chicken wing"

Perhaps we could focus instead on the 11 day meditation of leading up to

his birthday, culminating in 2.5 hours of the Adi Shakti Mantra aka Long

Eks on Yogi Bhajan's Birthday, August 26. See details below

 

August 15 - August 25, chant 31 minutes of Guru Guru Wahe Guru, Guru Ram

Das Guru at any time of the day.

 

"In gratitude we celebrate the spirit and wisdom of Yogi Bhajan with 11

days of meditation leading up to the anniversary of his birth. Join the

global community to connect with the spirit of Yogi Bhajan, offering

thanks for all the blessings he so generously shared with us.

 

Then on

August 26, worldwide simultaneous meditation, beginning at 3:00 AM

Pacific Daylight Savings Time: chant Guru Guru Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das

Guru for 11 minutes. It is also traditional to do 2.5 hours of Long Ek

Ong Kars <http://www.3ho.org/pdf/Long_Ek_Ongkars.pdf> at a time best

suited to your time zone."

 

.. Guru Guru Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das Guru
