Happiness
by Yogi Bhajan
There are three things in my life which are very important to me. One, I believe God is not foreign. You just want to believe and hang on to God and do nothing; I have a science about it...

Online Spiritual Name Request
Your spiritual name defines your destiny and is a sacred technology of claiming your spiritual identity. The practice of receiving a spiritual name, initiated by Yogi Bhajan and continued now by Nirinjan Kaur, is an opportunity for a rebirth in consciousness. To request a spiritual name online, hear how to pronounce them, and/or print out hard copies of the updated Spiritual Name Request Forms in 6 different languages for your Kundalini Yoga students and friends, go to: SpiritualNames.3HO.org
“When you call a person by the destiny name (spiritual name), you pray for that person, and that person is blessed by your prayer each time. Destiny name is the first step to connect you to your destiny.”

Message from the 3HO Chief Executive Officer
Sat Nam,
This month’s eNewsletter is focusing on the Happy of the Healthy, Happy, Holy. I hope that some of what you will find in this eNewsletter will bring a smile within your heart, place a smile upon your face and inspire you to share a smile with someone whom you come into contact with today – if not everyone.
Did you know that we are only 108 days away from the 2009 Summer Solstice Sadhana Celebration? This makes me smile because now more than ever, I am looking forward to being with you and on the land of Guru Ram Das Puri.
Healthy, HAPPY, Holy; words of inspiration given to us by Yogi Bhajan.
“Without realizing who you are, happiness cannot come to you.” Happiness is a result of knowing your Self. Although we at times look for happiness externally through relationships with people, places or things, no person, place or thing can give you happiness other than your Self.
“Happiness is carefreeness in consciousness.” Carefreeness is a state of consciousness being without worry; the joyful feeling you have when nothing is troubling you.
My message last month talked about our way of being as a matter of choice. Carefreeness in consciousness is a choice we can make.
“Happiness is your birthright.” We have the right and the power to choose to be happy in any given moment. We are capable of shining our light brightly in all places, in all situations and onto all people we come in contact with. We only have to remember who we really are; a channel of divinity, infinity and grace and people of love.
One of my favorite quotes of Yogi Bhajan that inspires happiness for me is, “The mind must dance with the body, and the whole Universe is your stage. Feel whatever you are doing is the most beautiful thing and is the prettiest dance, because you are dancing with the whole Universe.”
May this day bring you happiness, laughter and many smiles.
Blessings,
Bhajan Kaur
3HO Foundation
PS: Just this past Monday I experienced a very deep sense of happiness and joy. I had just left the office and was in my car making my way to Santa Fe. I turned on the radio just in time to catch this song from the very beginning, which deepened my sense of bliss even more – have fun!
March 2009: Healthy, HAPPY, Holy
“We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.”
~Barack Obama on Happiness, Inauguration Speech on January 20, 2009
On Happiness
By Guruka Singh, NM, USA
“One thing IS, (and that is) happiness. Happiness cannot be bought. If you have a good car, you sit in it and drive it. You don’t leave it sitting with a cover on it. Walk over the entire United States, and see if you can find one shop where happiness is sold. You cannot. This is because happiness is one thing which can never be bought and which cannot be sold.”
Happiness runs in a circular motion.
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway.
You can have it all if you let yourself be.
Why? Oh, because. (Donovan)...

Mantra Happiness
By Aradhana Kaur of Divine Bliss, Inc. FL, USA
Yogi Bhajan created 3HO with the intention of setting a standard of lifestyle creating a healthy, happy and holy life. Committed to peace, love and unity 3HO is helping to uplift the consciousness of the planet for the Aquarian Age. To support this lifestyle, imagine a world filled with the sights and sounds of Kundalini Yoga mantras: constant reminders throughout our daily routines to stop, take a moment to gaze at a mantra and consciously connect to our soul. After all, words help create our world. Words have the potential to touch the hearts of people and bring conscious communication to humanity. In particular, the words of the Kundalini mantras, project, expand and heal us...
Yogi Tea and Solstice in Review
By Samsher Sidhu, Ontario, Canada
An interesting thing happened on Sunday. It has been snowing regularly in Toronto for a few weeks. Due to the size of my driveway, it was a wonderful greeting full of exercise.
However, that is not the most interesting news. Sunday night post-shoveling, I made regular Indian chai and decided to pour it in my Solstice “mug”...

Feeding the Hungry
Team 3HO Foundation’s February Seva project was in conjunction with the Española Ashram community, Hacienda de Guru Ram Das, under the leadership of Kulwant Kaur. We shopped, prepped, cooked, served and cleaned up at the San Martin de Porres Soup Kitchen in Española. We had the opportunity and blessing to serve a delicious vegetarian meal and Yogi Tea to 40 local residents. We had great fun serving together and meeting our greater community.
“You are here to serve, to uplift, to be graceful, to give hope and to give the very deep love of your soul to all those in need. Through service you can win the world.”

Women's Technology

Every female has a natural power of abundance, good luck, and prosperity, but she has to decide to concentrate on it. If a woman provokes the Divine, there will be prosperity. Her discipline guarantees it. But often she wastes her energy in many ways...

Healing the Body, Mind and Soul
Seven Steps to Happiness
1st Step is Commitment
The first step is commitment. In every life you are meant to commit. That is why the word is commit-meant. Commitment gives you CHARACTER.
2nd Step is Character
Character is when all your characteristics—all facets, flaws, and facts—are under your control. Yin and yang meet there, totally balanced. Character gives you DIGNITY.
3rd Step is Dignity
People start trusting you, liking you, respecting you. Dignity will give you DIVINITY.
4th Step is Divinity
What is Divinity? Divinity is when people have no duality about you. They trust you right away. They have no fear about you. Divinity gives you GRACE.
5th Step is Grace
Where there is grace, there is no interference, no gap between two people, no hidden agenda. Grace gives you the power to SACRIFICE.
6th Step is Power to Sacrifice
You can stand any pain for that person. That sacrifice gives you HAPPINESS.
7th Step is Happiness

Sacred Eats
Apple Crisp
A yummy wheat-free, dairy-free alternative to the usual crisps.
Serves 6 – 8 people
Ingredients
Apple Layer
6 – 8 organic apples, washed, cored, unpeeled and sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons spring water
4 tablespoons maple syrup
¼ cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
Crisp Topping
2 cups rolled oats
2/3 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons flax seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 tablespoons maple syrup
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Apple Layer
Prepare apples and place in a lightly oiled 8 x 10 baking dish. Toss apples with
lemon juice then add spring water and maple syrup and toss again. Add
cranberries or raisins if desired.
Crisp Topping:
In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients: oats, rice flour, nuts, flax seeds
and cinnamon. Gently toss till combined. Stir the oil and maple syrup together.
Combine the liquid mixture with the oat and nut mixture. Then evenly cover
apples with the topping. Cover with foil and bake 20 – 30 minutes or until apples
are soft. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes to brown the topping
a bit.
Serve with Brown Cow Maple yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt) for an indulgent treat
or just on its own.
Notes from the Kitchen
I love to eat this for breakfast the next morning. Using
the rice flour keeps this crisp crispy even the next day – if there is any left. And
for an even easier dessert, pour frozen peaches and a few frozen blueberries
(organic, of course) in a baking dish. You don’t even have to defrost. Cover with
the crisp topping. Bake a little longer or till bubbly in the center.

Breaking bread together is a blessed and sacred act. To honor that consciousness, the 3HO team in Española is taking turns cooking up a recipe to share with the rest of the team. Yum! If you have created a wonderful vegetarian dish and would like to see it featured in our e-newsletter or on our website please send it to Livk@3HO.org. Be sure to include who the credit goes to!
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®
Manifest your way to the Summer Solstice Sadhana Celebration and/or the International Women's Camp with this prosperity meditation.
Posture: Sit in Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar
bandh.
Eyes: Focus at the tip of the nose, eyes are 9/10th
closed.
Mudra: Elbows are by the sides, forearms are at a
45° angle, with the hands at the level of the throat.
The exercise begins with the palms facing down.
Alternately strike the sides of the hands together:
When the palms are face down, the sides of the
Jupiter (index) fingers touch, and the thumbs cross
below the hands, with the right thumb under the
left.
When the palms are face up, the Mercury (pinky)
fingers and the Moon Mounds (located at the base
of the palms) touch.
Yogi Bhajan said that the thumbs crossing in this way
(right under left) is the key to the meditation.
Mantra: Har
Chant continuously from the navel, using the tip of
the tongue. (pronounced “hu-duh”) Tantric Har is
recommended for this meditation.
Time: Continue for 3-11 Minutes
Comments: “This meditation can be done for up to
11 minutes. It is so powerful in bringing prosperity
that more than 11 minutes would be greedy. This
meditation stimulates the mind, the moon center
and Jupiter. When Jupiter and the moon come
together, there is no way in the world you will not
create wealth.”
