Contracting COVID

By Gobind Singh

Dear Sangat,
I have recently had COVID (most likely the Omnicron variant). You may be interested in hearing about what I experienced and learned.

I am a yogi, my body is 50 years old and generally in good health. I had two Pfizer vaccine shots (and unfortunately had not received the booster). The media suggested that the Omnicron may be “milder” than the Delta variant. That was not my experience.

How we can talk to others about our loss; and how we can learn to listen deeply to others' grief.

Guru's Gate 1997

By Richard Ian Greene

As I left the Sunday Gurdwara service, Yogi Bhajan and a number from the Darbar accompanied me to my car (an old Subaru with tinted glass). The car was parked near the west entry to the Gurdwara. Yogi Bhajan asked what was in the back of my car. I said, “Nothing important, Sir.”  Yogi Bhajan laughed and instructed security to search my car.

Beloved Sadh Sangat,

As a son, a brother, and a father in and of this community, I wish to share some thoughts today.

I truly love this community with all my heart and the people here and what we've built in the Guru's name.
