Quote of the Month
A God-conscious man is a universal man – mobile, flexible and fitting into everything. His flow is like water – you can pout it into any pot and it takes that shape. And whatever the material of the pot, it remains water. Similarly the basic human ingredient is soul, and that soul is part of the Universal Soul.
- Yogi Bhajan, August 7, 1975

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 and hear how to pronounce them 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.”

Camp Miri Piri
June 14th - 18th, 2009
Española, New Mexico
The 6th Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind Ji, creator of the warrior tradition in Sikh Dharma, wore 2 swords: 'Miri' and 'Piri' representing the balance between spiritual and worldly powers. It was through this 6th light of Nanak that the oppressors felt fear, saints rejoiced, and common man felt comfort. The concept of warrior-saint spirit has permeated the Sikh philosophy and lifestyle since that time. This course will instill these warrior-saint values in the participants through theory and practice.
For participants 18 years and older Camp Miri Piri will focus on 3 themes, each for one of the three days:
Day 1: Connecting to your Soul
Day 2: Shakti and Bhakti
Day 3: Miri and Piri

Message from the 3HO Chief Executive Officer
Sat Nam,
Wow. It's May already. We are only 6 weeks away from the start of the Summer Solstice Sadhana Celebration, International Women’s Camp, and Khalsa Youth Camp. Time seems to be moving faster and faster; I wonder if this is how we experience time as we age or one of the effects of the Aquarian Age or both? This could be just my own experience of time.
This year at Summer Solstice we are focusing on the energies of the water tattva. Personally, I find a lot of healing being with the water element. One of my very favorite things to do is soak in natural hot springs or a hot bath and simply relax by bodies of water: oceans, lakes, rivers or ponds whatever the form may be. Fortunately, I live in New Mexico where there are plenty of hot springs.
I just read again about the water tattva as described by Gurucharan Singh in "The 3HO Solstice Sadhana Celebration Themes from 2008 – 2012"
2009 Water: Passions of the Soul – Opening Your Creative Essence
Second Chakra (sex organs): creativity, relationships, and feelings. The element of water is essential to life, to our bodies, and to our minds. The energy of this year is to master the self by using and directing the Negative Mind, that part of our greater mind that protects us and secures a path forward. We reorganized our earth element last year. This time we fill ourselves with the power of higher emotions. We accept the intuitive, protective sensations of our negative mind and calm its over-reactions. The 2009 Solstice Celebrations are opportunities to clear subconscious emotions and come into a positive relationship with our most powerful emotions.
Another way that I relate to the water tattva is through the practice of creativity. Creative expression is essential to my well-being. I approach my whole life as a creative outlet. What this means is that I have the opportunity to be creative in everything that I do. Creativity is not limited to the creation of an art form, although I very much enjoy doing that as well. Creativity is how we express ourselves: the way we act, the way we speak, and the things we do. Creativity is a deep expression of our soul.
I am looking forward to our Summer Events & Celebrations and I hope that you are, too. As we continue to experience the many changes and challenges in our world today, I hope that you will find in the 3HO Summer Events & Celebrations a place to take time for yourself, to be with yourself, and to grow stronger on a soul level with like-minded and spirited individuals from around the world. "The time is now. Now is the time." ~ Yogi Bhajan
In gratitude,
Bhajan Kaur

The 3HO Solstice Sadhana Celebration Themes from 2008-2012
By Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D.,
New Mexico, USA
In this coming Age, we are called to embrace change—both personal and global. Yogi Bhajan was a visionary who guided us on a path of discipline and consciousness, and pointed us toward the horizon of the Aquarian Age—a time when sacredness is shown through compassion, courage is demonstrated by our character, and prosperity flows from our originality and intuition.
The transition into the Aquarian Age from 1991 to 2012 brings us fully under the pressure of change. It is a pressure on each person, each nation, and every belief system. From 2012 to 2038 we will be sorting out a new way of living together; a new approach to sustaining our environments; a new reach into micro- and macro-worlds of technology; and a new sensitivity to knowing each other—in our depth and shallowness—in the blink of an eye.

The Water Tattva
Compiled by Liv Kaur, New Mexico, USA
The twenty-first century heralds the Age of Aquarius. In Western astrology, Aquarius is the water bearer. Water is one of the five tattvas,1 and it is the theme for the 2009 Solstice Sadhana Celebrations. How does the water tattva affect us and our relationships with others as we move into the Aquarian Age?

Water of Love
By S. S. Sewa Singh Khalsa, Seattle, Washington, USA
Dearest, you are the transparent sparkling reflection of light and life. I exist because of you, I can’t live without you, please always be with me.
Thinking lovingly of Water, its timeless beauty, purity and immensity, can we dwell in the Divinity of this element? Can we live with the fluidity that is the core of our being? It’s an immense thing to love the totality of another human, but imagine you can show loving appreciation to just the holy water that makes up that human being. What would that mean? Every day globally, untold numbers of people of different faiths relate to the Divinity of water. There are sacred bodies of water and our bodies of sacred water.

Watering the Seed May Take 40 Days… or More
By Nirmal Singh Khalsa, Austin, USA
It was the spring of 2004 when the seed was planted for what is happening in my life now; I had decided to come to India for a spiritual experience. Packing away everything in search of something more meaningful to my life which felt incomplete. Even though one never really finds quite what we had intended to in the beginning, I didn’t stop for one second to consider that I would not achieve enlightenment. I had my mind set on India and nothing would stop me.

Second Chakra Energy
By Deva Kaur, Florida, USA
Chakras can be described as our own unique energy centers that are embraced and contained by our aura or electromagnetic field. The lower three chakras deal with the more basic aspects of survival, while the upper chakras are more etheric and not always activated by most humans on the planet at this time. The science of Kundalini Yoga and its mantras can easily take us into this more subtle realm, if we are willing to put in the physical effort to balance the lower chakras. Opening the flow of the lower chakras is essential, because they are the foundation for all our more subtle talents and abilities found at the heart, throat, brow, and crown chakras.

The Fruiting of the Seeds You've Planted
Members of the Global Community have asked for, “More organic and more locally farmed food at Solstice.” Well, your seeds have been planted! Each Solstice, 3HO Foundation endeavors to include additional organic and locally grown vegetables into the Solstice diet.
