Listen
While I tell the tale,
Of the Silent Sound of God.
The Music of the Spheres.

History
In the heart of the country, there’s a land we call our own,
On which our hopes are planted, by the Guru’s love they’ll grow.
It’s the home of the Khalsa, where our future’s being born,
Stronghold of our nation, where the pure ones shall be sheltered by the blessings of the Lord.

According to Guru Singh (Los Angeles), who recounted this story to me in 2012, there was a need to have photos of Yogi Bhajan for brochures and posters, so in October 1969 Guru Singh and Shakti Parwha Kaur took him to a photo studio located on Melrose Ave. near Jules Buccieri’s antique store, where the first kundalini yoga classes were held. The photographer was well known for doing “head shots” for movie stars so he took numerous photos of Yogi Bhajan.

Thirty-four years ago, when I first heard Yogi Bhajan speak of his vision of creating the 3HO Foundation, a “Healthy, Happy, Holy” Organization, I didn’t like the word “holy.” It sounded too churchy to me. Holy? I thought: sanctimonious, holier than thou, bor—ing! Of course, that’s not what he meant at all.
Fortunately, I kept listening. He explained, “If you’re holy, you don’t do to anyone what you don’t want them to do to you.” So far, so good—the Golden Rule. Then he added that to be holy also means that you receive each inhalation gratefully, aware that it is God’s gift to you. Wow. Having that consciousness is a big order. It would require amazing focus to actually be aware of each incoming breath, but what a profound impact the acceptance of such a concept would have on our lives. Such a belief might cause us to be a lot more careful how we use each breath. We might change how we talk to one another. We might choose our words more thoughtfully. We might decide our actions with the thought in mind that God is living and breathing in us 24/7.

The Mangala Charan are the words of Guru Gobind Singh in Sanskrit. These words along with the complete Jaap Sahib are a perfect naad to carry you to Sahibee. Sahibee is a state in which you can master your own mind and thus find direction from your own intuition.

Let us be holy, happy and bright
Beautiful days and cozy nights.
Joyful living and loving care,
You and me and us we share.
Smiles and our songs they’ll live forever
We’ll leave these memories for our children’s ecstasy.
That is our legacy, a guide to destiny, our destiny.

It was September 13, 1968. Harbhajan Singh Yogi, now thirty-nine years of age, waited his turn in the line-up that had just disembarked at Toronto’s international airport. In the queue were tourists, professionals, government people and hopeful immigrants. Gradually, Harbhajan’s place in line moved up, as people were cleared at the front by the customs inspectors.

I am a Khalsa man, and I come from a long line
of givers saints and warriors, we don’t care about space and time
We live all of our lives for the moment we die
When the soul leaves the sea of pain and merges into the light

Close your eyes, it’s the end of another busy day.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of other children slept this way,
with Guru Ram Das to protect them, keep them safe all through the night.
Oh…. Dhan Dhan Guru Ram Das, Rakho Saharanai.

This chant was done by Yogi Bhajan before he lectured. He tuned into Guru Ram Das & the Golden Chain of Teachers that have passed wisdom down on this planet for centuries. If at any time you would like to tune into this energy, or simply feel the presence of Guru Ram Das & Yogi Bhajan with you this is a perfect mantra to chant, or listen to.

We can climb those steps to God, just give your heart to me.

“These hypnotic affirmations stimulate the meridians of the upper palate through the permutation and combination of the sound. If the individual sings along while practicing or playing these recordings, they further stimulate the hypothalamus. The neurons in the brain are readjusted for the beautiful, bountiful, blissful success of the individual. It is a God-given gift for you and for your prosperity. The system works. It shall work for you.
“The affirmations are designed to burn negative karma and stimulate positive inspiration. Many people have tried it. It has worked miracles. Miracles are unexplainable wonderful happenings. They are not gimmicks or soul talk. They are a reality that can be proven by the practicing practitioner
