ONLINE SADHANA: Every Sunday we share Sadhana with you – join us on our Facebook page and via Zoom (contact us for access details).

“Getting up in the morning for sadhana is totally a selfish act – for personal strength, for personal intuition, for personal sharpness, for personal discipline, and over and all, for personal absolute prosperity.” Yogi Bhajan

Kirtan

Evening Kirtan is held each evening 6.30pm at Ashram Ram Dass Guru.
Devotional chanting in a meditative state. Every week we chant a different shabad or mantra, celebrating life and allowing the internalization of the teachings.
Then we chant for 11 minutes the ‘Siri Gaitri Mantra’ more commonly known as Ra Ma Da Sa. It holds within it eight sounds that stimulate the Kundalini flow within the central channel of the spine for healing. It brings balance to the core of our energetic body and floods it with new energy.

Everyday 6:30 – 7:00 pm
Donation welcome – no registration needed

ONLINE KIRTAN: Every Friday we share Kirtan with you – join us on our Facebook page and via Zoom (contact us for access details).

Gurdwara

Gurdwara means “Door to the Guru – a gate from darkness (Gu) to light (Ru)”. It is a sacred place of worship welcoming individuals of all faiths, backgrounds, and traditions.
We begin our Kirtan with our daily healing meditation (RaMaDaSa SaSeSoHung) and then start our Gurdwara with Gurbani Kirtan. During the last part of the service, the congregation stands up for a collective prayer, called Ardas and then we listen to the Hukum as a guidance for our life’s path.
We frequently have guests from all parts of the globe coming to our Gurdwara to receive the blessings of the Guru and the sadh sangat, you are very invited to join us too. You can watch a video that explains the protocol for our Gurdwara here.

Every Saturday evening – 6:00 pm
Followed by Guru ka Langar (Guru’s free kitchen) at 7:00 pm.

Kundalini Yoga Classes

Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, was brought to the West by Yogi Bhajan in 1968. Yogi Bhajan taught that, through the practice of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, your glandular and nervous systems are stimulated, and your capacity for creative potential is heightened.You gain inner vitality to compensate for the adverse effects of stress so you can excel in life. Kundalini yoga classes are a dynamic blend of postures, pranayam, mantra, music and meditation, which teach you the art of relaxation, self-healing and elevation. Balancing body and mind enables you to experience the clarity and beauty of your soul.

Yoga for Children

Learning to relax in a fun way, encourage self-knowledge and balance the hyper stimulation, the pressure and distractions that children are subjected to is what we propose. The practice of Yoga is a great tool for the development of self-confidence, concentration and management of emotions.
