SADHANA

AND I ANSWER THE CALL TO PRAYER
SADHANA...

I RISE AT 4AM TO PRACTICE PRAYER. YOGA AND MEDITATION
DURING THE AMRIT VELA.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING
I PRAY FOR ALL THOSE I HOLD IN MY HEART
I PRAY FOR ALL THOSE I HAVE NOT MET
AND ALL THOSE I HAVE YET TO MEET

I WILL NOT LIE AND SAY IT IS EASY TO WAKE THIS EARLY
IT IS SOOOOOO NOT EASY...

BUT AS SOON AS I STEP FOOT OUTSIDE
BREATH THE AIR(IT IS FRESH AND CRISP) THE SKY IS THE COLOR
OF MIDNITE BLUE WITH DUST OF SPARKLY STARS. THE BIRDS
ARE SINGING THEIR GOOD MORNINGS. I KNOW I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE

MY FAVORITE PART OF SADHANA IS JAPJI. WHICH COMES FROM THE SIKH
HOLY BOOK THE GURU GRANTH SAHIB..I LOVE LOVE THIS PRAYER
AND I LOVE LEARNING THE PROPER PRONUNCIATION OF IT IN GURMUKI..
MY HEART IS JOYFUL IN BELIEVING I WILL ONE DAY HAVE JAPJI MEMORIZED
AND CAN CHANT AND SING IT ALOUD TO MY HEARTS CONTENT....!!!

MY LIFE HAS BEEN FILLED WITH STRESS .CHANGE. A SWIPE OF LOSS AND
THE JOY OF KNOWING I AM COMING CLOSE TO FINALLY ACHIEVING MY
DREAM OF BEING A YOGINI...

THIS IS MY UPDATE
AND THIS IS A SMALL DOSE OF THE BEGIN OF JAPJI (THE PRAYER THAT SPEAKS
TO MY SOUL)

cuz it makes me feel happy and peaceful



*PLEASE NOTE THIS HYMN COMES FROM THE SIKH HOLY BOOK*

"— February 23, 2007 — In this subtitled video Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is singing in Qawwali style a Hymn from the Guru Granth Sahib which promotes tolerance towards all humanity, every faith and religion, peace, love and goodwill. This message of pluralism and interfaith harmony amongst the world faiths is unique. The Hymn is as follows:

"koee bolai raam raam koee khudhaae ||
Some call the Lord 'Ram, Ram', and some 'Khuda'.

koee saevai guseeaa koee alaahi ||1||
Some serve Him as 'Gusain', others as 'Allah'.

kaaran karan kareem ||
He is the Cause of causes, and Generous.

kirapaa dhhaar reheem ||1||
He showers His Grace and Mercy upon us.

koee naavai theerathh koee haj jaae ||
Some pilgrims bathe at sacred shrines, others go on Hajj to Mecca.

koee karai poojaa koee sir nivaae ||2||
Some do devotional worship, whilst others bow their heads in prayer.

koee parrai baedh koee kathaeb ||
Some read the Vedas, and some the Koran.

koee oudtai neel koee supaedh ||3||
Some wear blue robes, and some wear white.

koee kehai thurak koee kehai hi(n)dhoo ||
Some call themselves Muslim, and some call themselves Hindu.

koee baashhai bhisath koee suragi(n)dhoo ||4||
Some yearn for paradise, and others long for heaven.

kahu naanak jin hukam pashhaathaa ||
Says Nanak, one who realizes the Hukam of God's Will,

prabh saahib kaa thin bhaedh jaathaa ||5||
knows the secrets of his Lord Master."

It is in our harmony, respect and peace that we express our love for the Lord and His Creation.

May the Lord bless everyone.

Sikh Gurus have propagated the message of "many paths" leading to the One God and ultimate salvation for all souls who tread on the path of righteousness. They have supported the view that proponents of all faiths can, by doing good and virtuous deeds and by remembering the Lord can certainly achieve salvation. The students of the Sikh faith are told to accept ALL leading faiths as possible vehicle for attaining spiritual enlightenment provided the faithful study, ponder and practice the teachings of their prophets and leaders. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib says: "Do not say that the Vedas, the Bible and the Koran are false. Those who do not contemplate them are false." (SGGS Ang 1350).

Most of the 15 Bhagats that contributed to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib were non-Sikhs and belonged to faiths including Hinduism and Islam.

Sikhs have always being eager exponents of interfaith dialogue and will not only accept the right of other to practise their faith but have fought and laid down their lives to protect this right for others. So much so that the Ninth Sikh Guru did something unparalleled in history. He as a founder of one religion laid down His life for the right of people to practise a different faith altogether. At a time of religious persecution, Guru Tegh Bahadar hearing the pleas of the Hindu Kashmiri Pandit, gave His life protecting the right of Hindus to practise their religion.

For these reasons, the Sikhs have practise their faith as an Interfaith religion and take a lead in uniting all the different peoples and religions of the world so that together peace and prosperity can be found for all the peoples of this Globe and the suffering of the poor of the Third world can be properly addressed together. The message of unity of the faiths is summed up in this quotation from the Guru Granth Sahib: "One who recognizes that all spiritual paths lead to the One shall be emancipated. One who speaks lies shall fall into hell and burn. In all the world, the most blessed and sanctified are those who remain absorbed in Truth." (SGGS Ang 142) "

raw food and healing in pictures




this was my first attempt at actually trying to use some
editing something or other so bear with me if you will.

so many new things have unfolded in the last week
and this is the last thing i thought i would
be making a video about but this is what
has come out of me on this day.

i am on a journey
and i am facing the truth about myself
my behaviors and my habits
i have decided to be truthful with myself about how
i treated my being (body mind and soul)

i am going for the full healing here folks

u know the thing is no matter how well we trick others
about what we are up to
within ourselves we know the truth
and often its these lies and tricks that keep us from
our true potential and our true healing
and a life of happiness

i am just sharing as these truths ufold to me
and my decision to jump on the healing path

in no way are these pictures easy to share
and in no way is explaining my emotions or state of being
in these pictures easy. its quite painful actually.

its a pain im willing to endure
in hope that some where along the way
someone will come upon me and know they are not alone
and its ok to finally look at urself for who you truly are
and what you truly do.

the first step is being true to you
u have to be brave and probably endure some losses in regard
to friendships and old patterns that supported u
and ur old way of being and this is ok
this will pass when u realize

it is truly easier to live in truth and health
than it is to live in pain and lies

may this be your permission

with sweet love and blessings
