SEVA ~ by Yogi Bhajan
"Seva is a win/win, the total source of victory. The moment you serve with heart and head, and without grinding any ax, you win the person forever. You deliver another person facing difficulty to their own strength. You save the person in the face of calamity. You protect him in the face of non-reality and bring home the reality. In any form, shape, or projection, if you can elevate a person's consciousness, his spirit, his self, his environments, his life, then it is seva." |
 Yogi Bhajan - Cultural Pearl
By Hari Jiwan Singh
It's important to understand culture; your own culture, for your own growth, and the other persons' culture, for teaching and good communication. My culture, for many, made me hard to be with. Yes, some loved me, but many didn't understand me and that angered them. I was raised Jewish and this is a Christian country. I was raised: aggressive, competitive, overbearing, overwhelming, I could go on and on. These are traits not usually associated with spiritual growth. Thankfully for me, the Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan, liked this nature of mine. Read Entire Article |

June is a particularly "watery" month: Astrologically speaking, we have Saturn and Neptune trine in two water signs (Scorpio and Pisces), with four planets forming a grand trine to them from the third water sign (Cancer) at different points during the month.

Should I buy Microsoft Office 2013?
by Guruka Singh Khalsa
If you've looked into Office 2013's "improvements," they might have struck you - as they did me - as largely gratuitous, cumbersome, and designed more to add to Microsoft's coffers than to improve Office productivity.
