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 me rise to the top. Riding on that wave, I feel a growing excitement for the future and an openness to change.

I recently watched a member of the next generation do Ardas in Gurdwara and my heart sang. The clarity, straightforward delivery and beautiful Gurumukhi recitation were inspiring.

Of late, I have had the privilege of interviewing some next-generation Minister candidates from Mexico, Chile, Australia, India, and the US. They hold an understanding of the Ministry and of themselves as Ministers that is clear, interconnected, leadership-oriented, responsibility-bearing and focused on delivery of service. These candidates have been living as Ministers and are now taking the step to declare that truth publicly. It is a joy to work with them and help them on their way.

It gives me great hope for our future and the experience of this Dharma pulsing through each of us, generation after generation.

In the beautiful DVD entitled “The Change of the Age” Lecture and Meditation by Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga and provided by The Yogi Bhajan Library of Teachings keeping the legacy alive!

Yogi Bhajan says that in passing into the Age of Aquarius a new life starts, provided you are you. He says it is an age of consciousness. These new Ministers are indeed themselves and living conscious uplifting lives. It is a privilege to work with them and see them step forward at this time.

Our future is bright. The time is right. Let us be Sikh Dharma Ministers, working in unity and purity to serve humanity. I truly welcome this Age of Aquarius. Wahe Guru!

Blessings to all and thank you for your service,

SS Dr. Sat-Kaur Khalsa
