A Yogic Approach to the Art of Living
At a Siri Singh Sahib Ji lecture at Ladies Camp in the 1990’s , he brought up a new idea so revolutionary that he kept hinting about it before he finally delivered the message.

It is a sophisticated concept because he was not telling us to be passive or to not act.

or “Whosoever is bestowed with the ability to render Divine’s Praises

Guru Hans Singh from Paris who put this all together even created a magnificent poster, which we all got, that had every person’s name beside the bead they gave. We all also received a small engraved card with the Tantric Necklace design on it also noting the bead number we gave. There was a quote on the card…

The Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan, said,
“So it is in your life, if you make yourself an Altar and give yourself reverence, God shall seek you. You don’t have to seek God. God shall praise you. You don’t have to praise God. The cycle can reverse, because when a human becomes the Altar of reverence, then God comes on that Altar and prays.”
