New Ashram Member - Sukhjeet Singh

Sukhjeet Singh with his son and grandson |
Sat Nam. My name is Sukhjeet Singh and I have been living in Espanola for the past year and a half. I moved here after living for two years in Silver City, NM with my partner. After he died, I decided to sell my home and start my new life elsewhere. Since I am a real estate broker, I wanted to stay in New Mexico, where I could continue my business. I chose Espanola because of the opportunity it gave me to join a wonderful group for sadhana, every day of the week!

Yogi Bhajan - How'd He Do It?
by Hari Jiwan Singh
Here's our duty clean, clear and simple. As we grow and protect our life, our Dharma, our Organization, we prosper as we did when the Siri Singh Sahib was with us physically. When we do it better than he did it, we expand. Our growth is totally and solely up to us, each of us. We all count in our journey towards Dharmic expansion.
I can hear the question, "What can I do about this?" This answer is clean, clear and simple as well. "What are you not doing? Figure it out then do it. Isn't that simple?"

Yogi Bhajan on Morning Sadhana
"Try to engage your mind in sadhana. Try to get up in the early morning. Try to understand that the time is now and now is the time. Those who feel they love God are fine, but those who get up in the morning for sadhana, God loves them. God created this whole universe just to love. God has a special time available to each of us - when you rise in the 2 ½ hours before the rise of the sun, the ambrosial hours, and synchronize your mind and heart to praise a God, God listens. God feels it so much and falls in love with you so much, that it seems unbelievable. In return that Creator touches you with vastness and cleanses your mind. You become fearless, innocent, and pure."
~Yogi Bhajan from 'The Mind', page 10 |

Sharing Photos the Easy Way
By Guruka Singh
E-mail, Facebook, texting, etc. are all good ways to share new digital stills and videos; but they're typically an image-by-image, select-and-send process.
Do you have a smartphone? Do you use it to take pictures? Emailing and texting files and photos to people is a common way to share, but using the Cloud is often a better way to do it. Do you have a free Dropbox account yet? If not, hopping on over to
Dropbox can eliminate those extra steps with its Camera Upload option, available on Android and Apple devices. Read Entire Article |

Food for Health - Slow Cooker Bean Cuisine
 No time to cook your own beans? The slow cooker makes it practical. Just let them simmer overnight or while you're at work, and they're ready when you are. Cheaper than canned too!
Cuban Black Beans
Combine 2 c black beans, a 14.5 oz can tomatoes; a chopped onion and green bell pepper, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano, a bay leaf, and 5 c water in large cooker. Cover; cook on high 4 to 6 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours. Stir in 2 tbsp red wine vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. |

Evolutionary Astrology - Neptune in Pisces - Rising up, Falling Prey or Numbing Out
by Himat Kaur Khalsa
Neptune takes approximately 168 years to revolve around the Sun. In February 2012, it finished its transition from the sign of Aquarius into Pisces, where it will be until it begins making its way into Aries in 2025.
Neptune moving through the sign it rules, Pisces, is particularly strong in the Neptunian/Piscean vibration. Read Entire Article |
The Master speaks about COLD SHOWERS -
"Medically, there is no medicine in the world to open up the capillaries other than the cold shower. In the morning when the sun is hitting the earth at a sixty degree angle, take a cold shower. Then, dry yourself, cover yourself with a warm blanket, and meditate. The blood comes into all the organs to feed them and make them strong. On the outside, your skin is beautiful. On the inside, your body is active and youthful."
Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan
