Aquarian Sadhana in The Time of Covid

Aquarian Sadhana in The Time of Covid

by SS Har Simran Kaur Khalsa, Los Angeles CA
Fall 2020

When Yoga West closed its physical space due to the pandemic, I was giddy with delight. For decades, I had kicked myself out of bed and dragged myself to group sadhana, regardless of how late I had gone to sleep the night before. Liberated from the tyranny of the alarm clock, I slept until I woke up and then did my personal sadhana.

Three months into this sahej (easy) practice, I started noticing that I was missing something.

I have long been intrigued by the people around me who manage perfectly well without group sadhana. Admitting to myself that I am not one of them, I jumped on the “virtual” bandwagon and created a Virtual Aquarian Sadhana Google spreadsheet, which I published on social media.

Vitamin for the Soul

Different people have very different needs for various vitamins and other nutrients. (For example, for optimal health, some people need ten times more Vitamin C than other people.)

Apparently I am that way about doing the Aquarian Sadhana with others sadhana in the Amrit Vela. For me, doing my morning spiritual practice with others (virtually or otherwise) enriches my life in a way that nothing else does. I am grateful to know this.

You are welcome to join us!
