Is Kundalini Yoga a Religion?

No, Kundalini yoga is not a religion. It is an ancient science and technology designed to bring the practitioner into greater peace, alertness and Self-awareness. It helps us to tune in to our essence, our soul and to see God in all. People of all faiths and beliefs can practice Kundalini Yoga.

What is the Age of Aquarius?

There have been many Ages and shifting of Ages throughout the History of Humankind.

The Aquarian Age is dawning and marks the transition into new ways of "being" within the evolution of humanity. The vibrational frequency of the planet has been steadily increasing and we are currently on the cusp leaving the Piscean age behind and it has been predicted that we will be fully in the Aquarian Age by 2012.

The Piscean Age was ruled by machines, hierarchies and ego. The New Aquarian Age will be ruled by awareness, intuition, wisdom (lived knowledge) and experience.

The mind is changing its sensitivty, it's basic frequency and functioning. Our life is changing its sense of time, space, and reality. To help with these vast changes ahead we are fortunate to have the powerful technology of Kundalini Yoga to connect us with our own reality, so we may keep up and live through the soul.

5 Sutras for the Aquarian Age

4.Understand through compassion or you will misunderstand the times

5.Vibrate the Cosmos, the Cosmos shall clear the path

 

Why are many people wearing Turbans?

The purpose of the turban has served many cultures throughout history for different reasons and has been part of many spiritual practices. It has been worn by people as a spiritual technology, a spiritual identity as well as other practical reasons, here are some of them:

1.The spiritual science and technology of wearing a turban:Rainbow_Turban.jpg

  • serves to wrap the 26 bones of the skull in place
  • protects your crown chakra or tenth gate
  • applies pressure on points on the forehead that keep you calm and relaxed
  • cover the temples, which protects you from mental or psychic negativity of other people
  • changes the pattern of blood flow to the brain so that you stay focused and clear
(You can wear a head covering to achieve some of the above effects but not all)

2.The spiritual identiy of wearing a turban:

Different faiths wear turbans of different kinds as part of their spiritual identity, for more info about this, click here. Most of the people you see here wearing turbans are Sikhs (some wear it for just the spiritual technology).  Sikh means a student of Higher consciousness.  Sikh's consider the turban a gift, a crown for the spirit, to help us sit on the throne of commitment to our own higher consciousness. For men and women alike, the projective identity of the turban conveys royalty, grace, and uniqueness. It is a signal to others that we live in the image of Infinity and are dedicated to serving all.  When Sikhs were being persectuted in history, it was easy to take off the turban and hide so one would not be persecuted for being Sikh. In those times, and today, the choice to stand out by wearing a turban, represents one's commitment to stand fearlessly as oneself, to be a beacon of light.

3.Other practical reasons:

Some people simply wear a turban or head covering as a convenient way to keep their long hair.  Also, many desert people wear turbans to prtect them from the intense sun and wind.
