It is to add to the website, as to why our course has a different approach. or: Why is Kundalini Connected to theand Environmental and Social Action? -----------------------------------------Our Planet, our beloved Mother Earth , is clearly past the 11th hour. , nearing tipping point. The signs we continue to experience in our personal lives as well as those allowed a voice through the media are only minute glimpses of a planet teetering on the edge of dissolution. Our very survival is now seriously in question. Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Never before in the known history of our planet or in the history of yogic study, have yogis and true spiritual aspirants had to contend with the reality of an imminent loss of a planet. Can we trust our leaders to do what must be done? What do the patterns show, and what are the responsibilities we must bear, the challenges toward which we may arise? What does this have to do with Kundalini? True Kundalini awakens us to our Divine inner Source from which compassion, love, and service for all sentient beings naturally arise. It is not about feeling happygood because we were brave enough to turn our backs have turned our back on the material world, and devote our time to our personal enlightenment, undisturbed by social consciousness and materiality but because we have sought and invoked our inner Source to arise to Divine service. The real bravery, the real courage in our time is walking right into it, eyes and hearts wide open, facing the beast, and loving all of it back to vibrant life. Yogis have historically taken supreme responsibility for humanity, providing service on countless unseen levels. But the times have changed dramatically and with this the question arises as to how their service must change too. If our meditation hut is going to be swept away by the winds of climate change, our forests inundated with unnatural torrents from melting glaciers, or the life in our rivers and oceans suffocated from poisonous waste, then the Yogis of today must carry with them the beloved bird songs of the sacred forest and the silence of the holy cave into corporate conference rooms, and interactions with the public, nonprofit organizations, community leaders and policy makers.

The great Maha Siddha yogis of today must organize sufficiently to be able to bring forth divine intervention in a myriad of practical ways to the common ground of our shared humanity, beloved Mother Earth, an expression of pure Divinity of the eternal cosmic Mother and her inconceivable manifestations.

And we as aspiring yogis awakening to our Divinity are compelled to join in active service and express tender, loving, intimate concern for all creatures suffering vast confusion in ecosystems around the world. We are compelled to give more than we take. We are compelled to plan redemptive strategies for river, oceanic and climate recovery, and a thousand other services that are in harmony with the Universal Consciousness of All. What is the purpose of life? We discover the purpose to be a divine one, one that is the expression of love and compassion for all creatures great and small, and for the planet that nourishes all of us every day. Wake up we must! Never before in the history of yogic study, and never before in the known history of our planet, have yogis had to contend with the reality of an imminent loss of a planet. The question arises as to responsibility: Yogis are those who take supreme responsibility for humanity, and work service on countless unseen levels. At this time, the service must come forth at a level of both inner and outer Nature, feeling and expressing the common ground of our shared humanity and honoring through service toward our shared Mother Earth, an expression of pure Divinity, of the eternal, cosmic Mother and her inconceivable manifestations. Awakening our Divine energy of Kundalini is one with awakening to the Divinity of all Nature: She is within, She is without, she is the tropical dew laced ever so delicately upon the ferns of the rainforest, the tears of a child crying for his mother, the water of the mighty Ganga river, the banging of hard, cold rain drops on a tin shack roof, or the plastic tent of a refugee camp. She is the mist that allows us to see the saturated hues of the rainbows..those rainbows that appear at times when you really need to see one. She is the vibration of calm when one reaches a space of depth and quiet within: She is All. If our meditation hut is going to be swept away by the winds of climate change, and our forests inundated with unnatural torrents from melting glaciers, then the Yogis of today must not be attached to artificial mental structures that restrain outer service to the whole; or that prevent public interaction. Instead, yogis now must sacrifice the beloved bird songs of the sacred forest and awaken to sacrificial public service, interactions with the

public, with nonprofit organizations, community leaders and with policy makers. The awakening yogis of today must take flights to conferences, plan redemptive strategies for river, oceanic and climate recovery, and a thousand other services which are simply one with the Universal Consciousness of All, expressing Her own Shakti. We need to express that tender, loving, intimate concern for all creatures who are suffering vast confusion in our ecosystem around the world. The great Maha Siddha yogis of today must organize sufficiently to be able to bring forth divine intervention to a planet in peril. And we are that Divinity. We are those yogis who seek to awaken and to serve. You and I, asleep and awake at the same time. Each of us looking for that great calling in life. That moment that says: Listen carefully now.. Let us view the field of trouble: the Kurukshetra of our time: Our Planet is clearly past 11th hour, nearing tipping point. Can we trust our leaders to do what must be done? What do the patterns show, and what are the responsibilities we must bear, the challenges toward which we may arise? True Kundalini is not about feeling happy because we have turned our back on the material world, but because we have sought and invoked our inner Source to arise to Divine service. What is the purpose of life? We discover the purpose to be a divine one, one that is the expression of love and compassion for all creatures great and small, and for the planet that nourishes all of us every day. We are aspiring janitors. We are aspiring yogis. We seek to give more than we take. We intend with adamantine conviction to maintain Tthis planetary sphere, this lovely earth, in order tois preserve the realm needed within the great karmic cosmos, this lovely earth needed by countless beings in order to reincarnate in various forms, from goldfish to elephants to human beings, in order that each being has a chance at liberation from all forms of suffering. This planet is the only ttransit point , and the only one, from the hell realms, according to the teachings of the Vedas. Without this planet, billions of beings cannot arise, and a great darkness will fall across creation for countless millennia until the next dissolution of time as predicted in the Vedas. This dire expanse of suffering and misery is preventable if we can wake up and take action. And wake up we must, and will. Awakening our Divine energy of Kundalini is one with awakening to the Divinity of all Nature: She is within, She is without, she is the tropical dew
