From well-known composers like Anton Bruckner and Johannes Brahms, to local masters like the chorus' own Alf Houkom and
Uttam Khalsa, a pre-teen Hey, Mozart! New Mexico composer, whose original melody, 'My Cat', was arranged by Bradley Ellingboe. This program brings tastes of the sacred, the profound, as well as earthbound enjoyments best shared.

We wanted to let you all know that we successfully raised enough money to purchase 2 new harmoniums and at least one set of tablas (maybe two), for the Ashram Gurdwara. Thank you to all who donated and especially to Pritpal Singh for collecting the money and organizing the purchase. We are hoping that these new instruments will be here in time for Baisakhi. Blessings and Love, Sat Nirmal Kaur |

Yogi Bhajan, Searching for Sugarman
By Hari Jiwan Singh
I saw a fascinating movie several days ago. It's a documentary about a man named Rodriquez, and in the story it appears that he had been cheated out of success - which could have led him to react with regret and revenge, however, he did not do that.
The Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan, taught me not to regret anything in the past. "Why, sir, do I not want to regret anything and how do I do that?" I asked. It was on a warm August evening in 1992. I asked this question as I was walking our Master, from the N.M. Estates to the converted log cabin where he slept...

Langar Kitchen Garden - By Guru Meher Kaur Jr.
Mata Mandir Singh and many volunteers are working hard to rejuvenate the ashram garden this year with their focus on producing vegetables for our ashram langars. They had a successful work day this last Saturday (See pictures left column.) Mata Mandir also told me they are also looking at creating a Garden Park down where the old apple orchard existed off of the ashram path leading to the Gold House. Plans include creating a permaculture with flowers, a community vegetable garden, benches and foot paths.
He is also sending out a request to sangat members to grow seedlings for this years' garden. This is not hard to do and he is willing to give you advice on how to get started and will produce a list of suggested vegetables to grow for the Langar Garden. Here's an article with simple instructions for growing seedlings to help you get a head start. |

What does chanting the SO PURKH shabad do?
Creates a sacred space in which grace prevails, so as to allow the greatness of the soul to come forth. It was written by Guru Ram Das, whose vibration holds a state of grace and love that heals all realms of the heart and being. According to Shakti Parwha Kaur, Yogi Bhajan spoke glowingly about the tremendous power and potential of reciting SO PURKH. He said a woman can use this shabd to beam on a man to:
-Attract the soul of a child to be born through you, who will become a man of God
-Heal a man
-Transform a man into a man of God
-Attract a man of God to be your husband
-Make God appear before you
Do 11 recitations of the 'So Purkh' shabad a day for 40 days,....and see what happens! |
