Sat Nam!

 

Howdy from Gurutrang Singh!

 

Reading the booklet of the cd " One in the spirit - 30 years of 3HO

Music " I've found some unknown words.

 

In the song " Get out of bed you little sleepy head " what does it mean

" gag like a yak "

 

GURUTRANG: You know what a yak is? It¡¦s a big ugly hairy animal.

There is some creative license here, which I dreamed up probably one

cold Winter Solstice night way back when, while deep within the

confines of my sleeping bag in my freezing tent, sipping some hot

yogi tea and nibbling on some contraband Oreo Cookies I got past

Gurudhan Singh (He was the camp security chief), when I think I

shiveringly scribbled this verse to the song. It¡¦s actually a

comical wake-up song I¡¦ve sung at many a Solstice Celebration, as

well as a serious historic chronicle for the ages to teach our great,

great, great, great, etc, etc grandkids about the health and yogic

teachings of Yogi Bhajan. I needed a noun which rhymed with the

words ¡§sack¡¨, ¡§cracker jack¡¨ and ¡§way back¡¨.

 

¡§Hop off the sack you little cracker jack,

Now brush your teeth with salt & alum way back,

Clean out your monkey glands and gag like a yak,

Hop off the sack you little cracker jack¡¨

 

In the Siri Singh Sahib Ji¡¦s teachings, he taught us to mix potassium

alum and sea salt ¡§After your shower, you can brush your teeth and

tongue with a mixture of alum and sea salt. This will pull impurities

from your mouth and gums. It will stimulate a gag-reflex that will

expel mucous from your system, also contributing to a healthy immune

system.¡¨ ¡V Yogi Bhajan

 

When we do this, it makes us gag the most disgusting gag (sounds like

rooooooot!!!) and everything stuck anywhere in the root of your

throat all the way down to your toes is hocked up and spit out! That

gagging sound can only be described as the sound a Yak might make.

Now I never heard a Yak gag. Maybe you have. However, if it gags

anything like the way it looks, one ugly sucker mind you, that¡¦s the

sound we make when we brush the root of our tongue with that dazzling

astringent powder mixture of sea salt and alum!

 

and what is a " winky dink " (the quote is " Get to the

sink you little winky dink " )?

 

¡§Get to the sink you little winky dink,

It¡¦s time to pour your favorite morning drink,

Now don¡¦t forget your home brewed sweet lemonade,

Cause that¡¦s the best thing that God ever made¡¨

 

As you can see, in this song, I create a pattern in each verse by

gregariously giving different funny names to the subject of the song,

the little sleepy headed person, getting up for sadhana, and the name

I give it has to rhyme with the bed, the bunk, the sack, the sink,

the chill, etc. So everyone knows what a sink is but I was quite

cryptic about what the favorite morning drink is for political

correctness and child-proofing, that home brewed sweet lemonade, the

best drink that God ever made. What I don¡¦t say about this drink is

it¡¦s also warm, about 98.6 degrees farenheit too and it is home

brewed because it comes right out of you and some people put it into

milk and it¡¦s not lemonade. It¡¦s your own pee, that¡¦s right piss,

aka urine, taken from the middle third of your very first morning

stream just when you wake up according to Yogi Ji, put into milk and

yes, drunk down - stirred, not shaken. It is called Urine Therapy

and the Siri Singh Sahib and many other naturopathic practitioners

throughout the ages have taught this art and science, which takes

your body¡¦s own antibodies, like homeopathy and magnifies your

defense-immune system to fight disease. Your first swig will make a

real man, woman or alien out of you. I sat there for about an hour

the first time with that glass before me in dread, thinking how from

now on, when I kiss my wife, I¡¦ll be a piss mouth. Once you take

that drink, you will be a piss mouth too!!! ļ

 

So what¡¦s a Winky Dink? It¡¦s a cute little silly word that a young

child might utter, like winky, blinky, dinky, binky, all kids words.

It¡¦s also a pretty well known cute word for a penis ¡§winky¡¨. So

this verse is about the serious, life-saving science of Urine

Therapy. Check it out at Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_therapy. Also you can check it

out at www.pissmouth.com.!!! Not really.

 

NOW YOU HAVE THE REST OF THE STORY!!!

 

Last one, in the song " Captain Karma " , what does it mean the word

" goeth " (the quote is " But that ol'Captain knows the ego you're

trapped in-pride goeth before a fall " )?

 

¡§Goeth¡¨ is the Archaic English way of saying ¡§Goes¡¨. The same

archaic grammatical rule applies to words like knows/knoweth,

suppose/supposeth, chose/choseth, etc. So the song is saying that

old saying, Pride goes before the fall¡¨, meaning the person becomes

humbled when he or she finally falls from his or her false pedestal

of pride.

 

Thank you all in advance (it's a wonderful cd...funny and deep!)

 

Your welcome in retrospect!

 

Fateh Dharma!

 

Kick Some Butt my homey Singh brother!

God Bless you, Gurutrang Singh! For that explanation as well as the chords to the song! It's a wonderful song, a wonderful rhythm, wonderful words and now....an explanation! I confess, I knew most of it, but did not know about the lemonade. (Not sure I wanted to know!!!) Can't wait to try out the chords on the guitar!!! Will not be trying the lemonade!!! LOL No matter how therapeutic they say it is!!!! <......laughing as I type this!>

Blessings,

Guru Jiwan Kaur

[Guest guest]

I've never heard of this urine therapy (I actually tried to look it up on wikipedia, but with no success). Can you give more specifics. How much urine to how much milk? Any special kind of milk? Is it OK to use soy or rice milk? I have a good reason for wanting to try this.

I'm also interested in the alum & sea salt cleanse. Where does one buy alum? Thanks, Kartar

[Guest guest]

Sat nam!

 

As interesting as this song is, I have to also say that the lemonade

thing is very disturbing, and I am left deeply concerned about

this--does everyone that participates in the Winter or Summer Solstice

HAVE to drink this " lemonade " ? I've never been to Solstice, and if

everyone needs to do this, then I'm honestly not about to go.

 

Blessings,

 

Nadh Singh

Sat Nam,    No, you don't have to do Urine Therapy at Winter Solstice - or anywhere else- if you don't want to.  (It's not even on the program).  There are a few basic yogic principles we ask you to observe at Solstice...niyams like not smoking or drinking.  But nobody forces you to do anything.  The programs are there for your benefit - including the group sadhana for which wake-up songs are created - so you'll have the opportunity and inspiration to make that choice for your own perceived benefit.      I'll have to save the visual of our enforcing Urine Therapy gave me a chuckle.    Harbhajan Kaur

No one has to drink this " lemonade " at all in life-never mind at

Solstices. Although I have utilized urine therapy over years and felt

that it has been a beneficial practice for me-it is nothing that is

part of our programs, nor anything that we necessarily encourage at

Solstices. Blessings,

Sat nam Harbhajan Kaur,

 

Thanks for your answer, and please forgive my innocence with so many things

relating to

3HO--I'm a bit green with certain things, and sometimes it shows. LOL, oh well,

such is

the process I guess, and I'm glad I was able to bring a chuckle in your life.

Knowing that

makes me chuckle too!

 

Blessings,

Sat Nam,

I too am appalled and disgusted by this " lemonade " and the song and would like

to add a comment. I have practiced and still do practice both Hatha and

Kundalini yoga for almost 30 years. I attended Masters Touch in 1999 - the

lemonade was never mentioned, but it may well have been practiced by Yogi

Bhajan. I was shocked when I met him to see that he had major health problems

which included diabetes, and was quite overweight. If the practices are all so

life giving and healthful why was his health so poor?

Although the 3HO discourages any of us practicing Kundalini to stop any other

form of yoga I have continued my hatha practice always. I have read many yoga

texts and studied under many teachers - the Hatha teachings recommend the nasal

cleansings - Jhala neti and I have practiced this for many years. It has many

health benefits and is now being recommended by physicians. None of the

Kundalini yogis or students of Yogi Bhajans even know about the Jhala neti or

any of the other yogic cleansings-I wonder why. To answer the question, no one

at Masters Touch mentioned the lemonade drink but from this group it must be

very widely encouraged. If the health benefits are so great why was Yogiji so

unhealthy and so overweight. This is not a criticism just a question. Also,

why does 3HO not encourage the neti cleansing or even teach it? I maintain a

combination of both Hatha and Kundalini works best for most of us and I continue

to practice in that manner -

sans the lemonade - thanks for reading.

Is it required at solstice? ABSOLUTELY NOT! NO, NEGATIVE! Urine Therapy as it is

known in the alternative medicine field is only suggested for certain health

problems. It's not for the faint of heart (or stomach) but it is an effective

one. See your health practitioner.

The reason Yogi Bhajan's health was so poor was, very simply, that he sacrificed

it in order to serve and teach us ( " us " being all the folks who listened to him

and benefited from his teaching).

 

Specifically, all the teaching that he did do required an enormous amount of

time, talent and travel. The talent he had in abundance, speaking each time,

from the cosmos and with purity and strength.

 

The time and travel took its toll. At one point he was on the road (airplanes,

usually) 3-4 days a week, flying here and there, conducting White Tantric Yoga

courses over a weekend in addition to counseling people when he was not

teaching. We were sandpaper to his fine wood. We didn't intentionally wear him

out but he gave of himself for as long as he was able.

 

I remember when he visited Kansas City a few times, the phone would ring at all

hours of the day and night, " Please may I speak with Yogiji, it's so very

important! " Our pain always seemed to be more critical than not disturbing his

rest. He never complained. He accepted our foot rubs. (What a pleasure that was,

to touch his feet with almond oil!)

 

I remember once he clapped me heavily on the shoulder, calling me a " marathon

man " when we had driven all night from KC to Cleveland in winter weather to be

with him. The next week he was in LA and after that somewhere else ... and he

called me a marathon man???

 

He often said in the 80's " My time is very short, now, I have to teach you many

things. " In the 90's he said that our prayers were the only things keeping him

alive or connected to this earthly plane. WE needed him so much that we were

able to change his destiny and keep him alive. We weren't exactly able to keep

him in great health but ... at least we had him here, toi serve us which he did

gracefully and willingly and until, I understand, the moment of his death.

 

He also said he would be even more connected AFTER his death since his subtle

body could reach farther and wider than ever his human body could. One of the

main reasons I do sadhana is to keep that connection vital and alive within

myself. I know he's there every morning, even if he has nothing specific to say

to me, I know that he's there, meditating with me and elevating my experience of

this human life.

Thanks for the reply. I know he had diabetes and normally diabetes comes from

initially a poor diet. I think I stated in my comment it was not a criticism.

I respected and learned from Yogiji as from many teachers. Another teacher of

mine died of a heart attack and that was also the reason for him-he gave so much

to all of his students - my main upset was over the " lemonade " and the fact that

it sounded like it was a recommended daily practice by 3HO. Thanks for the

explanation. I really was surprised to see Yogiji so heavy and in such poor

health - peace.
