Letter to the Global Community

Dear 3HO Family and Friends,

Sat Nam. In the name of the One who does all, we would like to share with you and those you serve what is happening at the Secretariat Offices in New Mexico. Along with the advent of our crisp Fall weather and snow in the hilltops, we are right in step with this season of change!

In 2001, the Siri Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan) told us that we must be known for our service by 2007. The Universe, with her infinite sense of humor has decided that we should move faster to accomplish this and we have been faced with an immediate challenge.

For the past few years, several of the non-profit organizations have been blessed to have donations come in to supplement their self-generated income. In 2007 it is expected that these donations will be substantially less than they have been, and so we find ourselves addressing the challenge of how we can best serve the mission given increased financial constraints.

This challenge has prompted an examination of the goals of each organization, starting from the perspective of how they serve the vision and mission of the Siri Singh Sahib as a part of the global community. In an effort to maximize service, a streamlining of our processes is occurring, including cutting costs. Although we see this as having an immediate positive effect worldwide, it will also affect some members of our community who have been employed by these organizations. We have been working closely within our organizations to make all these hard decisions together and will provide the best transition support we can for any employees who may be affected.

The Siri Singh Sahib told us that difficult times would come, but he also told us that the future would be bright and prosperous. The sense is that this shift will make the organizations stronger, and allow us to serve more people to have healthy, happy and holy lives. If you would like more information, or would like to help in some way, please contact any of the people listed below.

In the name of the Cosmos which prevails through everyBODY and the Holy Nam which holds the world.

Humbly yours,

The Secretariat, staff of the non-profit organizations

Virtual-Community tools to support your Physical Community

A list of suggestions to make the most of the Technology Age:

In the age of technology the entire global community is at your finger tips. However, many people are substituting interactions with their physical community, by hanging out with their "virtual community". The purpose of the online virtual community should be to enhance local community. And that is what Kundalini Yogis are doing, because you can't do yoga over the internet.

Here are a list of tools to enhance your Worldly Community using the World Wide Web:

First off, if you don't already have it, download Firefox as your Internet Browser It is the most versatile and user friendly web browser available.

Create a Social Networking account. Myspace is the most popular, but there are others as well. Social Networking is a very useful way to keep in touch with people. Check out the IKYTA Myspace account.

Start using Google and create a Gmail account. Look at the Options that Google has. If you don't know about Google Earth, you will be amazed. (I'm still amazed)

To be able to talk to friends all over the world, use Skype.

Group email lists, like the Kundalini-Yoga Yahoo Group allow you to share your thoughts with many like-minded people at the same time.

Well, I hope this helps you to keep connected and build your local community.

The Phones are Ringing!

Sat Nam,

We have started calling the Kundalini Yoga Teachers and Students that we have in our database to remind them that the Membership Drive has begun. If you don't need a phone call reminder you can email me at

ikytaadmin@3ho.org

and let me know that you don't need a call and we can take you off the list.

The Membership Drive ends December 15th, but remember, if you are one of the first 150 people to register you will be entered into a drawing for some cool prizes.

In service,
Rion

Tomorrow is the Day (crossed fingers)

October 24th is the planned start date for the Membership Drive. If you are in the IKYTA data base (and we have your correct email address) you will receive an email from us letting you know that you can go to www.kundaliniyoga.com and register for 2007 Membership.

The Membership Drive is about to begin

Sat Nam!
I am very excited because the 2007 Membership drive is about to begin and I am getting all ready for it.
Right now I am getting the different phone lists together so that we can call you can remind you.
However, I am trying to figure out (using our current database) how to make sure we don't call you if you have already registered. This would free up time and confusion, as it is often confusing to get a call to register if you already have.
Well, I'll talk to you later.
