2+0+1+2+2+0+2+1=10

The 10th Guru in the Sikh Lineage is Guru Gobind Singh. One of his writings, Jaap Sahib, is read daily by millions around the world. Aside from using the whole Jaap Sahib, in Kundalini Yoga we also use some segments from this splendid poetry as individual mantras. Each of these mantras carry the qualities of the Number 10 with them, for instance: Courage, Saibhang – Self-Illumination, integration/inclusion of all facets, deep listening.

The Mantra Ajai Alai is one of those mantras that comes from Jaap Sahib and certainly includes all facets as you can see below.

Here is a link to a recording by Gurushabad Singh to chant along.

Sat Naam,

Every day until Christmas, we have put a yogic gift for you into the reindeer’s bag. And each day it will be something different.

It could be a brief video yoga class, or a numerological (Karam Kriya) sharing about the qualities of number 12 (December) or of the year ahead. It could be one of our favorite recipes for this time of the year, or a voucher for an upcoming event. It could be one of our favorite kriyas, or a specific meditation we practice for these times, or a mantra to chant throughout the day to keep your spirits up…or, or, or.

Advent means ‘the coming, or arrival, of’. It is widely used in preparation for the celebration of the coming of Christ. The incarnation of Christ Consciousness as recognized in the person of Jesus Christ. Christ Consciousness, Krishna Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness, Nanak Consciousness, YOUR Higher Consciousness. Your Hu-Man, or Enlightened-Mind, potential.

So why not align to this group consciousness, this tradition held in many countries, to anticipate and celebrate your potential? By practicing Kundalini Yoga and Karam Kriya for your upliftment into Cherdi Kala, the Rising Spirit!

Each day we post a new link on Facebook with the reindeer bag. Follow the link and pick up your free gift.

And we love to hear from you in the comments how you like it and whether it was useful for your day.

Merry seasonal blessings,

Bachitar and Hari Krishan
