What Is Sadhana

Jiwan Kaur — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:40:10 +0000

“Sadhana means a practice of self-discipline that allows one to express the Infinite within one’s self. It is a time each day to notice the patterns that lead away from higher consciousness and to transcend those patterns.
Sadhana is a conscious activity. We consciously choose to rise up, to exercise the body, and to meditate. Each day is different. Each day, we are different, every 72 hours all the cells of the body totally change. Sickness comes and goes. Motivation waxes and wanes, but through all the flux of life, through all the variations of the mind and heart, we consciously choose to maintain a constant and regular practice.” -Yogi Bhajan

Why should one practice Sadhana?
The one who does Sadhana build him/herself such a powerful personality, he can conquer anything! That is why I do my own Sadhana. I have been doing it for years. I do it even now. Some people ask me, “you are a Master, why do you do Sadhana?” I say, “to remain a Master!” -Yogi Bhajan

Sadhana is not a yoga class, although a Kundalini Yoga kriya as taught by Yogi Bhajan will be a part of every Sadhana.

There is no charge made for Sadhana although a donations will be appreciated to help build the Kundalini Yoga Community, organizing events, etc.

SEVEN STEPS OF HAPPINESS as given by Yogi Bhajan

1. Commitment.
2. Character. Commitment will give you character, all your facets, flaws and facts are under control. Yin Yang meet here. There is balance. It is not you who wins in the end, it is your character. Are your life habits demoting of promoting this?
3. Dignity. Character will give you dignity, people start liking, trusting and respecting you.
4. Divinity. This will give you divinity, where people have no duality or fear about you.
5. Grace. Divinity will give you grace, a person of grace is gracious and has no hidden agendas.
6. The Power To Sacrifice. This gives you the understanding of the power of sacrifice, you can stand pain for other people.
7. Happiness. Each sacrifice will give you happiness.

Vegan Cookies

Jiwan Kaur — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 04:15:09 +0000

By Rev. Adriana Hari Gobind Kaur

Here’s a little background…
The first time I had a cookie like these was from a dear yogini friend who had brought to Sadhana. I liked them so much I went online and searched for oatmeal vegan recipes and found a very basic oatmeal cookie recipe I knew I could twist to my liking…so I went to work. The outcome was this fabulous recipe which is very easy to put together and tons of fun to have in the process. Every Full Moon Kundalini Meditation on the beach event we go to I like to bring these cookies along …hence the name “Moon Cookies”. Thanks to the yummy ingredients they are a hit wherever I go because they please every palate.
I hope you enjoy baking them as much as I do, and fine-tune them to your palate’s enjoyment if you feel the need. ^_^

Moon Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

- 3/4 cup of vegan margarine (Earth Balance is good)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (or you can do 1/2 agave nectar, or real maple syrup)
- 1 tea spoon of vanilla
- 1/2 cup almond milk (note: if after adding the dry ingredients it looks too dry add another 1/4 cup of milk or less, gradually)
- 1 cup unbleached flour (can use almond flour or cashew flour)
- 1/4 t baking powder
- 1/4 t fresh ginger, finely minced (ginger powder is a good alternative)
- 1/4 t cloves, ground (i prefer to grind w/mortar and pestle just before tossing into the mix)
- 1/2 t cinnamon
- 1/4 t nutmeg
- 3 cups oatmeal
- 1 cup dried cranberries (or 1/2 cranberries and 1/2 raisins)
- 1 cup walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, any nut you like
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes

Preparation:

-Cream together margarine and sugar until smooth
-Add vanilla and milk
-Mix well
-Add flour, baking powder and spices and mix well, then stir in oats, cranberries/raisins, almonds and walnuts

Date Milk

Jiwan Kaur — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:10:18 +0000

This is a very nourishing, youth-maintaining beverage. it gives energy and is good for people of all ages, especially when they are recovering from fevers or other diseases.

- 8 ounces (250 ml) milk
- 6 dates

Slice dates in half. Remove pits and mash. Simmer in milk on a very low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain and serve.

Golden Milk

Jiwan Kaur — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:07:07 +0000

This delicious hot drink is very good for the spine. it lubricates the joints and helps to break up calcium deposits.

Ingredients:

- 1/8 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 cup (65ml) water
- 8 ounces (250ml) milk
- 2 tbs (40ml) raw almond oil
- honey to taste

Boil turmeric in water for about 8 minutes until it forms a thick paste. If too much water boils away, add a little more with the almond oil. As soon as it boils, remove from heat. Combine the two mixtures and add honey to taste.
If you like, prepare a larger quantity of the turmeric paste. It will last up to 40 days if refrigerated.

Ghee

Jiwan Kaur — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:01:29 +0000

Ghee is clarified butter. The milk solids and impurities are removed. It is a healthful, pure protein. Use as you would butter or cooking oil.
To make ghee, simmer unsalted butter over the lowest heat for approximately 30 minutes. (keep an eye on it, since it tends to burn easily. If it starts to turn brown, it is burning.) A white foam separates from the yellow ghee. Skim off all the white foam. Clear yellow ghee will be left. Pour into a clean, wide-mouthed container, though cheesecloth held onto the jar with rubber band, or through a fine metal strainer, not allowing any white sediment to slide in. Store at room temperature with jar covered.
Ghee keeps. Without refrigeration for 3-4 months when stored in a closed container; up to one year in the refrigerator; and indefinitely when frozen. Therefore, it is a good idea to make large quantities at a time.
