Narsingha Deva is worshipped in the Vedic scriptures as one of the primary avatars of MahaVishnu the Divine Sustainer. Half-man and half-lion, this divine force is referred to many times in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji with the story of Bhagat Prahlaad. This energy was rising in the east at the Solstice that is the seed time for how the ashram came to be planted and grow in this valley.

The thunder of horses echoes across the field as the young Nihungs come forward at a full gallop. Ducking the spray of dust that sprinkles the watching crowd, you can’t help but look on in appreciation and wonder at the bold riding and intrepid battle skills that are still cultivated by the brave warriors of the Guru.
We are living at the time of the coming of the Age of Aquarius—the Age of Consciousness. That is, if we make it that far.
Prayerfully, we are transitioning out of the Piscean Age, an age dominated by survival by power, into an age where how we think, speak, and act becomes the projection of our reality, into the Age of Aquarius. That’s a mouthful, I know. Please allow me to explain.

In the annals of Sikh history, few figures command the reverence given to the Sahibzade, the four great sons of Guru Gobind Singh. Among them, the eldest, Baba Ajit Singh Ji, stands as a towering figure of youthful valor and spiritual depth.

I was asked me to contribute a few astrological insights for the coming year and I decided a look into the chart for the founding of the Mother ashram would be of interest.
The predecessor of the current ashram was Maharaj Ashram, founded and named by Yogi Bhajan at the time of Summer Solstice, 1969. The members started camping out in tents and tepees on land located three miles out from Santa Fe on 132D West Alameda Road.
Love Thy Neighbor—No Matter What - Part II
By Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa
In Part I, we reflected on the command to “Love thy neighbor—no matter what,” and explored how the Law of Polarities, the nature of judgment, and the presence of Divine light in all beings make such love spiritually possible.
Now, let us go deeper—into the practice, the discipline, and the spiritual maturity needed to live this truth daily.

Welcome to 2026, a year of achievement, revelation, and a near non-stop wave of innovation and new technologies. If you’re looking for a fresh start, it’s here for you in 2026.
2026 adds up to a number 10 year, and is supported by the number 8, which is the Gift number for the year (Gift is last two digits, 2+6=8). Both the numbers 10 and 8 create an atmosphere of forward momentum, along with a sense of “I just know there’s more for me out there!”

Sapat SaringThe story of Guru Gobind Singh begins high in the sacred mountains of the Himalayas, where the air is cold and clear. There you will find a secluded lake known as Sapat Saring. This is a holy place where saints have meditated for millennia, and where great spiritual disciplines have been accomplished by yogis and rishis. Here the exalted Rishi Dushtdaman sat in deep meditation, passing the ages in love of his Lord.
The command to “Love thy neighbor” is among the oldest spiritual instructions given to humankind. Yet it remains one of the most challenging to live. Recently, someone asked me a question that goes straight to the heart of this challenge:
Rest-Relax-Regenerate are the keynote themes for the month of December. This year of 2025, a number 9 year on the planet, has been an extraordinary time of intensity and instability. A balance needs to be struck at this moment, thereby giving us the strength and reserve to enter the New Year with a skip in our step and a sparkle in our eye.
