Ecologize Growth from StormCloud Media on Vimeo.

Could a change in how we view economic systems create a change in how we view ourselves? Ecologize Growth is a micro-film based on the full length documentary, Money and Life, that seeks to answer that question. The film explores old and new perspectives and belief systems about money and how they affect society’s evolving consciousness.

Yogi Bhajan’s Contributions to a World of Peace

 This Friday Aug 26 is Yogi Bhajan's Birthday, he brought Kundalini Yoga to the West. I think there is one thing most everyone can agree on that Yogi Bhajan, was a man of peace. This is written by one of my teachers who taught us in India, and is very inspirational. Yogji had just passed when we went to his house in India, it was a very special time, and a very deep connection made for me personally.

 

  By Hari Kaur Khalsa, New York, USA

In our heart of hearts we all long for peace—a deep longing for personal peace of mind and a collective longing for peace in our communities, in our nations, and in the world.  Yogi Bhajan understood this, and he also recognized that conflict is not just external but is often present in the deepest parts of our minds.  He spent his life teaching how to meet the challenges of conflict and how stand for truth and develop lasting peace within our hearts and in our world.  Yogi Bhajan’s life was an action for peace.

In order to find peace, each person must find the truth. Kundalini Yoga and Sikh Dharma are living paths of truth, living technologies to make the shadow visible, to heal the inner anger and conquer fear, to bring the human to the heights of awareness, to experience and act from reality and truth.  Peace is an experience of truth in action; personal, cultural, and universal truth is a living concept—Sat Nam—our very essence and identity is truth.

Simrit Kaur

This is a promo video, but a great example of her music. I sat near Simrit one night at Winter Solstice Celebration at the Yogi Tea Cafe, she is truly amazing. Like the chant she is doing, negativity instantly leaves you!

After decades of dedication, Ms. Porchon Lynch is considered a yoga master by many of her peers and followers, and at 92 is still active and teaching.




This is amazing, may we all be practicing at 92!
