ADDENDUM to Self-Worth and the Art of Prosperity
Friday, November 18, 2011
SELF-WORTH AND THE ART OF PROSPEROUS LIVING AT GOLDEN BRIDGE
This is my third workshop at Golden Bridge and I am feeling so blessed to be able to teach these workshops here. A few years ago, once a month, I held 3-hour workshops at The Crystal Matrix in Atwater Village. For almost one year, all the workshops I taught there were Kundalini Yoga and Meditation emphasizing the manifesting of prosperity through a multitude of channels. I witnessed magnificent shifts in people who were repeat students and many epiphanies in those who attended just one or two of them.
I have first hand experience that these methods of Kundalini Yoga work and so I feel inspired to share these teachings with others. One of the most insidious problems is the overwhelming lack of self esteem that permeates this culture. I teach high school art and I am flabbergasted by the negative self-talk I hear in the classroom. Where do these teenagers get this negative self image? Many adults can’t find enough obstacles and blocks in their day to day life...they have to invent them in their own minds! Until they are made aware of how unconscious this behavior is, most people just go about their lives without the slightest idea that they are doing this.
Wouldn’t you like to have a positive sound loop running in your mind instead of a negative one? Wouldn’t you like to learn how to make your mind work for you instead of against you? Meditations can clean up the subconscious garbage and rewire the way your brain works and the Kriyas (exercises) can fortify the good and powerful in you and help you to get rid of what doesn’t serve you. A long gong relaxation can seal the energy and help to put you in sync with your true nature. Prosperity is your birthright. You can walk out of this workshop feeling light, magnetic and victorious...creative, prosperous, and at peace.

Something Special Tomorrow...
Raghubir here....and Tomorrow is Friday: 11-11-11 a day of great import. Even though the transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age has already begun (the cusp period is actually from 11-1991 to 11-2012) there is a special significance on this day here in Los Angeles.
"In 2011, on 11.11.11 at 11:30 AM, longitude and latitude taken at LA, the Aquarian Age will be toady established" - YB (quote from an article in this month's LA Journal).
Yogi Bhajan talked a great deal about the difficulties that some people might encounter as a result of this transition. You may have already noticed that things that "used to work" no longer do the trick. You might have felt a shift in your energy and maybe even a weird feeling you can't explain.
If you have been practicing Kundalini Yoga, you are aware of these changes as your heart opens up and you are living a life a greater service to your community and your loved ones. As we shift from a "me" society to a "we" society, we become more compassionate, sharing, and spiritual culture. Do you know the lyrics to "The Age of Aquarius" from Hair?
Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions, golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation and the minds true liberation. Aquarius! Aquarius!
Let the Sun Shine In!
"We live by the beat of the heart, not by the thoughts of the head...Man who lives by the beat of the heart, continuously meditation on the name of God, Shall find heavens here and hereafter".- Yogi Bhajan
There is a lot going on tomorrow in Los Angeles so you can take advantage of many gatherings, meditations, celebrations. Just google "11-11-11" and see what pops up. I'm going to 2 of Harijiwan and Tej's workshops at Golden Bridge on Friday, the White Tantic Yoga on Saturday, and another Harijiwan/Tej workshop on Sunday at GB. TONIGHT AT GOLDEN BRIDGE IS A FULL MOON CLASS WITH HARIJIWAN AND TEJ AT 6:00.
FRIDAY Morning's RISE AND SHINE CLASS is going to be extra special. OFF THE CHARTS! Come join me at 6:15am to bring in the auspicious day with a GONG! First we'll renew our Nervous Systems and Build Stamina to take whatever comes our way with aplomb.... and then well do a long meditation "Transition into the Aquarian Age" which will help us make the upgrade. I'll be giving out a copy of this mediation which you can practice on your own....
Be sure to come and start the special day off with an open heart. for more info on Kundalini Yoga .....go to www.Atwaterkundaliniyoga.com or www.harijiwan.com

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE DAY OF MIRACLES AND THE DAY OF AT-ONE-MENT
OCTOBER 8 Yom Kippur. A day of atonement.
- "He who calls himself a Sikh of the True Guru, He must get up in the morning and say his prayers. He must rise in the early hours and bathe in the holy tank. He must meditate on God as advised by the Guru. And rid himself of the afflictions of sins and evil. As the day dawns, he should recite scriptures, and repeat God's name in every activity. He to whom the Guru takes kindly is shown the path. Nanak! I seek the dust of the feet of the Guru's Sikh who himself remembers God and makes others remember Him."
- It is a blessing to immerse oneself in a mikvah (ritual bath) on Erev Yom Kippur as well as it being customary to wear white. Every day is like Yom Kippur for a Sikh... the day of "at-one-ment" because we observe the good and the bad and make the necessary adjustments on a daily basis when we rise in the morning for our sadhana. We merge with infinity and become one with God.
- Before Yom Kippur, Jews seek out and reconcile with friends, colleagues, family members and even enemies. Yom Kippur is the time to forgive and move on. Yom Kippur is the day to deal with your "sins" and misdeeds. We all make mistakes and for the Jews who observe this ritual, it is the time to reconcile relationships and set things straight.
- In yoga, EVERY day is an opportunity to forgive and move on.

Oh my mind practice Yoga in this way:
Let Truth be your horn, sincerity your necklace, and meditation the ashes you apply on your body.
Catch your burning soul (self) and stop the flames. Let the soul (self) be the alms bowl in which you collect the sweet Naam and this will be the only support you will ever need.
The Universe plays its divine music. The sound of reality is shrill, but this is where God is.
When you listen to the reality from this place of awareness the sweet essence of Raag arises.
Waves of melodies, emotions, and passions arise and flow through you. Bind yourself with the song of God.
The Universe spins like a potter's wheel and from it fly demons and angels. The sage listens to this and instead of getting caught in either one, the sage drinks in the nectar of the heavens and is carried to the heavens in a divine chariot.
Instruct and clothe yourself with self control. Meditate unto infinity until you are meditating without meditating.
In this way, your body shall remain forever golden, and death shall never approach you.

This is the translation of Ray Man Eh Bidh Jog Kamao authored by Guru Gobind Singh. Yogi Bhajan had this to say about this beautiful shabad,
"Guru Gobind Singh's entire bani is meant to penetrate through the mental
body, right into your own spirit. The secret of this bani; it is a pure Naad
Yoga. It is in Brij Baashaa language.
The combination and permutation of sound is totally practical in his bani.
The tongue creates a certain pressure on the upper palate. This shabad has
the capacity, if man is bewitched by incurable disease, if sung properly
through the tongue and mouth, can bring total health. Each sound must be
said exactly correctly. It can lead to perfect state of mental health and
surrounding spirit."
Perfection of this shabad can make you like a Golden Buddha. You will have
wisdom, you will have purity of a yogi, and you will have an essence. I
request everyone who believes in higher values to remember this shabad in
perfect sound. It is very perfect combination. As a shabad you can sing 11
times a day, you will feel the miraculous effect of it on your body, mind,
and soul."
Complete Mantra:Ray man eh bidh jog kamao
Singhee saach akapat kanthala

QUE SERA SERA
I’m sitting here feeling very New Agey eating a cereal called “Indigo Morning”. When I was growing up, cereals were called Sugar Smacks, Fruit Loops, or Wheaties; there were no cereal names that referred to either enlightened children or the ambrosial hours. But here I am some 50+ years later nourishing my body with what we used to call “cold cereal” and thinking about where i’ve been, where I am, and where I’m going.
There are many different reasons that I am feeling so reflective this morning. One, today is my sister’s birthday and I remember when she was born 50 years ago, I was away at summer camp. Summer camp is something that seems so far away but is so much a part of my being. Our dad was an educator... and that meant he had the summers off. He always landed a job at a sleepaway camp as either a Director of the Girl’s Camp or a Swimming Instructor. I remember those summers fondly because I generally went away with him for the summer and even though I had to call him “Uncle Irv” instead of Daddy, those summers away were a very special time. They were the first opportunities to be Independent.
Oh, Happy Independence Day! (that was too good a segue to pass up)
Summers back then were ENDLESS. Eight weeks of summer camp seemed like an eternity that you never wanted to come to an end. Now summers fly by and no sooner than you say “have a nice summer” you’re back buying candy for Halloween. I work in the Los Angeles School district one day a week and so I suppose you can call me an educator as well... but I don’t have a summer gig somewhere in the Catskills or the Berkshires or the Allegheny mountains of Pennsylvania. My summer camp is eleven days of “Summer Solstice” at Ram Das Puri near Espanola in New Mexico. It’s the closest thing to sleepaway camp I have found in all these years. There is tremendous joy hanging with your friends; showering together, working together, playing together, eating together. It lasts a short amount of time but it’s effects last a LONG time.
At summer camp, the highlight was something called Color War. The camp would divide into two teams and for about a week you would be engaged in healthy competition with your closest friends. This brought everybody’s BEST up several notches and you always came away from Color War feeling stronger, more elevated, more confident, and more unified with your peers. White Tantric Yoga is like that...although it’s not technically a competition with others, it is a competition with yourself. And you always come away feeling like a better YOU; stronger, elevated, confident and unified. There’s a tremendous knowing in both endeavors that you have succeeded and you are part of a bigger whole!
The summer camp or summer solstice experience infuses you with the energy to move forward into the future. Even though as grownups most of us work during the summer months, we still adopt a l’aisse faire attitude; being less demanding of ourselves and others and letting more things “slide” during this time.
My teacher, Harijiwan’s favorite mantra for navigating through challenging waters is “Whatever” and it’s a good mantra to remember during the Autumn, Winter and Spring months, too. I know I could definitely whip myself up into a frenzy when things aren’t going my way, but I just take a few breaths and chant “Whatever” and the pressure dissipates...like letting steam out of a kettle. Worrying gets you NOWHERE and trying to control the uncontrollable is a useless endeavor. The Summer months give you permission to let things go a little...but it’s THE ESSENTIAL attitude to have all year long.
In Guru Nanak’s poem, Japji, there is a stanza or pauree that brings on the deep knowing that everything is in God’s hands. It destroys your ego and brings home your divinity. It also removes negativity and neturalizes your destructive nature and prevents harm to others by your hand.
Guru Nanak has given us a very effective antidote for fear. Everyone knows that fear is the biggest buzz kill around and the 33rd pauree can get rid of that fear for you. Everything we worry about, all that we strive for and try to control, all the images of “security” that we invent for ourselves are given over to the Creator. He says in this 33rd pauree, “I have no power to speak or keep silent, no power to beg or to give, no power to live or to die, not power to rule with wealth and occult mental powers, no power to gain intuitive understanding and spiritual wisdom, no power to find the way to escape from the world, only he alone has the power in his hands, he watches over all, no one is high or low.”
AAKHAN JOR CHUPAI NEH JOR
JOR NA MANGAN DAYN NA JOR
JOR NA JEEVAN MARAN NEH JOR
JOR NA RAAJ MAAL MAN SOR
JOR NA SURTEE GI-ANN VEECHAAR
JOR NA JUGATEE CHHUTAI SANSAAR
JIS HAT’H JOR KAR VAYKHAI SO-I
NAANAK UTAM NEECH NA KO-I
Chanting the 33rd pauree 25 times a day will bring us to that state of surrender where we realize that we can’t do it alone and that we do not have that power even if we wanted to. It removes the illusion that we are in charge and brings us into a loving place of trust where we have all the security we need. Que Sera Sera, whatever will be will be, the future’s not ours to see...que sera sera.
Have a great summer....

Prosperity Meditation
Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan
June 26, 1998 at Ram Das Puri, New Mexico
"As far as wealth is concerned, this is a Jupiter period. Jupiter onslaught is on the overall universe. It is a period for new prosperity. Old wealth will not work. So we have a very good mantra which creates prosperity. Mantra is a mental projected vibration which entangles with Infinity and creates the effect. It's a sound system which we can all create. It has nothing to do with what you feel or what you are. But when all the vibrations of yours and the environment have gone negative, that is the moment to call on the mantra. When you chant this mantra with the breath of life, you tap into all angels of the universe, including your own great ancestors, who have a qualifying life of angel. It's quick, it's fast, it's purposeful, it brings in what you need to get in.
If you continue for one year, chanting this with the breath, from the
Mudra: Sit in easy pose with a straight spine, chin in, chest out. Mentally straighten out your spine, so the channels can be clear. Bend the elbows down by the sides, and stretch the forearms across the diaphragm area, parallel to the floor, right on top, left underneath. Grab the right elbow with the left hand, and grab the left elbow with the right hand. The elbows should fit comfortably into the palms of each hand. The forearms should be tight across the diaphragm area, and should 'hold your belly in.'
Eyes: Closed.
Tape: "Har Har Har Har Gobinday, Har Har Har Mukanday....," the prosperity mantra. The version by Nirinjan Kaur was played.
Time: 17 minutes.
* First 3 minutes, sing out loud with the tape
* For the next 11 minutes, powerfully whisper the mantra. See what the pranic power does for you. From now through the end of the meditation, the body will start going through changes. Keep the spine straight, elbows locked, and contain the energy.
* For the final 3 minutes, go silent, and chant mentally, moving your breath and the navel in rhythm with the mantra for the remainder of the time.
End: Inhale deep, stretch your spine as much as you can, and squeeze the area where your elbows are locked, as well as every p

MEDITATION TO MANIFEST MONEY
Given by Yogi Bhajan
September 23, 1997, New Mexico
“Life is nothing but Alertness. You can only be Alert if you are wise & disciplined.” –Yogi Bhajan
Mudra: Sit with a straight spine, chin in, chest out. Bend the elbows into the sides of the body, and place the palms in front of the diaphragm area, flat and face up. Criss cross the finger area only, left on bottom, right on top. The thumbs will be extended away from the rest of the hand, and point straight ahead. Make sure they are not stretched back so far that they point to the right & left, but are pointing exactly straight ahead.
Music/Mantra: “Har Har Har Har Gobinday…” by Nirinjan Kaur is played. Sing with it from the navel.
Eyes: Closed.
Time: 23-1/2 minutes
End: Sit in silence and become thoughtless for 40 seconds. Then inhale, place the palms flat against the heart, pressure as hard as you can against the heart and squeeze the entire body, getting rid of all the sickness, disease, potential. Hold 17 seconds. Exhale. Repeat 3 times total, inhaling & holding between 15-17 seconds per inhale. Relax.
Comments/Effects: This is a sign of prosperity. It is a money manifestation scheme.
