Because i read about Guru Nanak and the first two gurus (or so) seemed to be so much about peace...how are the military aspects of Sikhism consistant with the teachings of Guru Nanak? I'm new to this and curious to know what the connection is..if any.<br />Also are the teachings of Yogi Bhajan different from what Sikhs practice? <br />Any recommendations for reading materials? <br /><br />Thanks!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4267592655749091027-698112659739098510?l=kynw.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jarednoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267592655749091027.post-73841122006952003222007-02-11T18:26:00.000-08:002007-02-11T18:26:09.843-08:00<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Hari</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Rai</span> and I went on a walk today and were talking about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Sadhana</span> and community as we often do...and we came to realize (well remember) the importance of continuing to have and participate in other community events besides <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Sadhana</span>. I continue to come back to the importance of having fun together with spiritual people, yogis, and our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">dharma</span> brothers and sisters. Continuing to keep our practice and our lives full of light and fun. I really wish we could start the 31 minute Guru Ram <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Dass</span> chanting in the evenings like they do in other communities and continue with farmers markets visits, art walks, potlucks, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">saturday</span> market, bowling, mini golf, snow shoeing...whatever...as a community. We are also planning to start attending other Kundalini Yoga classes in town during the week.<br /><br />We all process so much at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Sadhana</span> and it's 4:30AM for God's sake...we are definitely not in our best moods...most of the time we are barely awake!<br /><br />Also <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">interfiath</span> events...like Ram was talking about being a Catholic and I think it would be fun to visit where she worships.<br /><p>Just a few of the many streams of consciousness running around up there.</p><p>Himat</p><p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4267592655749091027-7384112200695200322?l=kynw.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Himat Khalsanoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267592655749091027.post-48418041732422746922007-02-10T09:48:00.000-08:002007-02-10T09:42:18.334-08:00This blog is created to allow for a space for people in the Portland 3HO community to have space to discuss topics of interest to themselves and the community.<br /><br />Hari Dass<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4267592655749091027-4841804173242274692?l=kynw.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hari Dass Khalsanoreply@blogger.com8
