I am pleased to announce that Project 108 is alive and well and already in business. Unisex and men's yoga and leisure clothing have been added to Kundalink's successful yet small roster of women's comfortable white cotton clothing to form PROJECT 108. The idea was conceived in the foothills of the Himilayas on a Yatra that one of my partners and I were on. We had been discussing the idea of working together to not only create a conscious clothing company but to structure it so that we could give 11% of our profits to charity and back to the teachings.
We debuted our "mantra t-shirts" at the White Tantric Yoga Bazaar in Los Angeles last week to a very positive response and we're continuing to produce both the tshirts and the hoodies with our first mantra, the Sunshine Song . MORE MANTRAS COMING! The Sunshine Song, or Long time Sun Song is a Celtic folk tune that was recorded by the Incredible String Band back in the 1960s and later adopted by Yogi Bhajan as an affirmative ending to every Kundalini Yoga class. The "Sunshine Song" starts at 2:29 on this incredible Incredible String Band version.
Last month, Kundalink wrote a dedicated email for Yogamint about the benefits of wearing 100% white cotton clothing. We called it "The Energetic Umbrella". The content was paraphrased from an article in The Beads of Truth from Spring 1981.
This is the entire explanation that Yogi Bhajan gave as an answer to a question about the wearing of white cotton clothing:
"We wear white because it's a simple scientific fact that every piece of matter or material has a foot and a half aura. Every animal has a three and a half foot aura. Every human has a nine foot aura. And if we wear the cotton and we wear the white, this color therapy gives us one extra foot of aura. So, I trust my students will behave right, but in case they behave like animals, they will still have a margin, an edge. And that is what it's all about. You have to wear a natural fibre and you have to wear white. It's a pure color therapy and it's called auric color therapy"
