August 2018
How many of you have been experiencing intense emotions lately?
There are many planetary influences about - eclipses (the next one on Aug. 11), mercury in retrograde, etc. This is a great time for good self-care. Enjoy the refreshing rains we've been having, and take some time for yourself to reflect, replenish, and restore.

We are in the midst of the 40 day sadhana of chanting long Ek Ong Kar for 2 1/2 hours. Yogi Bhajan taught that chanting this mantra for 2 1/2 hours every day for 40 days allows you to realize your own infinity. You are welcome to join us in this group exerience at the ashram for one day, some of the days, or all of the remaining  days! 4:30 - 7 am. We will conclude this 40 day practice on Yogi Bhajan's birthday, August 26, when this meditation is traditionally done as a sadhana. On that day, we will start at 3:25 am and will follow with a pot luck breakfast.
If you are a graduate of any of HarDarshan's Level 1 Teacher Training Programs, come to the alumni reunion on August 26! After the Yogi Bhajan birthday meditation, there will be time for a rest and/or walk. The reunion will begin at 8 am. We will do a yoga kriya, have a gong bath, visit, and perhaps go out to lunch!
