SS Gurubachan Singh Khalsa, Albuquerque NM Winter 2011 There is one simple guiding principle as a Minister of Sikh Dharma: Mission without Commission. To honestly serve this mission we have to put aside our own personal agendas and serve the needs of the time and space before us. It is such a tremendous privilege to serve in the capacity of a Minister that there are no limitations in service. As the Guru is the hub and touchstone of the community so too is the Minister a guiding physical presence. The world is full of many changes today and no one is

A Guiding Presence
Dwelling in Our Hearts
by SS Har Nal Kaur Khalsa, Espanola NM Winter 2011 As Sikh Dharma Ministers, we can function as one subtle energetic body, like the yogic concept of Vyana Prana Vayu. This prana is a heart-centered energy that flows through the entire physical body, distributing vital energy throughout. Like this Vyana, the ministry’s energetic vibration can pervade the entire body of Sikh Dharma, bringing cohesion, integration and connection. Our subtle bodies are connected through our commitment as Ministers, and our daily Dharmic practice, especially sadhana, and our living relationship with the Siri Guru Granth Sahib and the Sat Sangat.

Light of a Thousand Suns
by SS Gurujodha Singh Khalsa, Mexico City, Mexico Winter 2011 It has been seven years since our beloved teacher, the Siri Singh Sahib, passed. It is not a coincidence that he passed exactly one full cycle of consciousness (seven years) before we would fully enter the Aquarian Age on 11.11.11, so that we could adjust and prepare to carry the baton ourselves, as a cohesive, integrated and Aquarian group of people. By Guru’s grace, we have been doing just this. For example, we have prepared ourselves by stepping up beyond the psychic mantle of protection of our Teacher and we

Secretary of Religion Column (Winter 2011)
Wahe Guru Ji ka Khalsa! Wahe Guru Ji ki Fateh! Finally, we cross over into the Age of Aquarius. Hallelujah! Yes, yes, I know the Siri Singh Sahib said it will take the next 27 years to have the full effect of this phenomenon, but I’m celebrating just the same! There is so much heaviness all around, a little lightness of being is just such a needed break and I’m taking it. So much has to be worked out, healed, bridged and uplifted. I am choosing to tap into the energy of this new age and let the joy inside

#42 Winter 2011 Newsletter
The theme for our 2011 quarterly Sikh Dharma Ministry newsletters has been the Dawning Aquarian Age. In our last three issues we asked Ministers to address the topic of how we are making the transition to the new times ahead. What tools are we using as Ministers and as individuals to keep up? For the Winter 2011 issue we asked several of our Sikh Dharma ministers to address the topic of how, as a body of Ministers, we can function as an energetic body, akin to the yogic concept of Vyana Prana Vayu. (In the yogic teachings, the Vyana Prana Vayu is based in the heart
