Message from the 3HO Chief Executive Officer
Sat Nam,
The other night I went to see the movie Sex and the City with four girlfriends. It was very satisfying. I was reminded that life is messy and that each of us does our best while being in the mess. And the one thing that is always there for us to help us through is our friends. Our friends can’t fix us, but they will be there for us throughout our journey.
It is a blessing when we experience love in our lives that is unconditional and we know is a love that we want to honor throughout our lives. Whether that is found with friends or a partner, it is a sacred connection and one of the greatest gifts to share and receive.
Twenty-four days ago the 3HO staff started a 40-day meditation that takes us into the first day of the Summer Solstice Sadhana Celebration. We are doing an 11-minute prosperity meditation together every morning. During the closure of the meditation we extend prosperity prayers and blessings to you. So know that you are being thought of and loved and that blessings are being sent to you from the 3HO staff.
For those of you coming to Española this summer, we look forward to seeing you here. For those of you not coming, we know that we are always together in our hearts and we invite you to connect to the Summer Solstice Sadhana experience by joining in this year’s Solstice Sadhana meditation.
Peace to all, light to all, love to all, Sat Nam.
With love,
Bhajan Kaur

Healing the Body, Mind and Soul
The Character of the Aquarian Age
• Change and learning is continuous and life-long. We must maintain mental, emotional, and physical flexibility.
• Intellect is not enough. We need a new relationship to intuition, emotion and instinct.
• Information is not enough. Neither is knowledge. We need wisdom.
• Learning is not enough. We must learn to learn.
• Complexity is increasing as is our need to deal with it.
• Our sense of personal identity and its foundation is shifting.
• This is an age of paradox–more global and more individual, with fewer boundaries and more demand for politacal separations. Everything is faster and we have less time. We need far more love and unity, for we have more fear and tremendous insecurity.
• Stamina and constant peak performance are the common benchmarks to evaluate all people and their work, and the need is to go inward and regenerate.
• We require a reconciliation and integration of the spiritual side of life with the technological and material sides–a spiritual fitness to sense values and meaning.
• There is no isolation. Each action we take must be considered ecologically, and globally, because each person does affect, directly or indirectly, vast networks of people, and other living beings and places.

The Ashtang Mantra for this Age
Thus the Master meditated and became one with the Lord, and gave the Mantra:
EK ONG KAR SAT NAAM SIRI WAHE GURU
This mantra has eight vibrations, and describes the glory of God. Thus said the Master, “In the time period two-and-a-half hours before the rising of the Sun, when the channels are most clear, if the Mantra is sung in sweet harmony, you will be one with the Lord.” This will open the solar plexus, which in turn will charge the solar centers. The person will get connected with the Cosmic Energy, and thus will be liberated from the cycle of time and karma. Those who meditate on this mantra in silence will charge their solar centers and be one with the Divine. That is why I speak to you of why we should meditate and recite this mantra.
All mantras are good, and are for the awakening of the Divine. But this Mantra is effective, and is the mantra for this time. So my lovely student, at the will of my Master I teach you the greatest Divine key. It has eight levers, and can open the lock of the time, which is also of the vibration of eight. Therefore, when this Mantra is sung with the Neck Lock, at the point where prana and apana meet sushmuna, this vibration opens the lock, and thus one becomes one with the Divine.
