The Khalsa Raj Collection

We recently returned from Winter Solstice Sadhana in Florida. Perfect weather allowed for swimming in the pond at our location almost daily. It was a treat – as was the presence of so many from around the world (about 700). They had come to work on themselves and experience the bliss and joy of community, Kundalini Yoga classes, workshops, daily early morning sadhana (yoga/meditation practice), healing, white tantric yoga, horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, networking and much more. Our worldwide Kundalini Yoga community comes together twice a year for these sacred solstice events – and a third time in France in mid-summer for the Yoga Festival there. With a dear colleague from New York, I oversee all food preparation, serving, etc. for the US gatherings for many years now. It is a great privilege and blessing. I offer a variety of products for sale at all 3 of these gatherings with a good portion of it being jewelry. We decorated many and are grateful for the continued support and demand for our innovative, uplifting and inspiring things. Peace to all, light to all and love to all.             Jot Singh

 We have just entered the Aquarian Age. It is a time of transition and most are being challenged from all sides. Seeking solace and answers within oneself - is time well spent. I don't manage well without my daily practice of Kundalini Yoga and meditation. I've been at it for 40 years. Consider finding something, some kind of system or body of techniques that will help give you balance, grace and intelligence in your words and behavior. Many will appreciate this in you. 

We have many new items in our 'new' sections in our Radiance Collection and our Dharma Collection. Many of these can help give us strength and insights also. I've been wearing one of our new Talisman pendants for a while. It is helping me meditate more deeply. I'm very grateful! Feel free to contact us with any questions on how we might be able to serve you. Blessings to All.

A short time ago we returned from what has become an annual trip, where we have a wonderful opportunity to browse hundreds of designers and manufacturers latest offerings. Perusing the latest styles and trends is usually a 'mixed bag'. We did find some fun new things from several of our regular designers and also from some new people. They are featured in our New section in the Radiance Collection, and also flash through our Homepage. We continue to be grateful offering 'cutting edge tools' to uplift the Spirit, diligently  searching for and designing new things. 

                                                                            Blessings, Peace and Tranquility to All.

Hello there,

We are having lots of snow outside of Boston! It is quite beautiful to be having regular new 'white blankets' covering local Mother Earth. My manufacturing shop is just  a short walk from home, so commuting is easy. We are getting ready for our annual trip to find new treasures for this website. We are also exploring new 'alternative metals' and looking to use 'recycled metals' to support our earth and minimize the impact of mining, in some of our new designs. Stay tuned, we'll report back with new findings within a month. Blessings to All.

Hello,

Recently I returned from a 3 week trip where I attended and enjoyed teaching at a Yoga Festival in France. This is a wonderful annual event about 2.5 hours south of Paris, not far from Blois. Possibly for the last year (may be moving another hour south next year) this was in the Loire Valley, a lovely place with numerous Medieval castles and chateaus. I generally find it pleasant to drive through the French countryside, with its unique charm and character. And now even a windmill 'field' that stretches for many kilometers with numerous huge new windmills (all not so charming but pretty impressive)! I had the opportunity to share new items and designs with folks from all over Europe and the world really. There were 2400 in attendance this late July and early August! 

I then flew to Vancouver Canada and took a ferry to the Sunshine Coast B.C. where I enjoyed teaching on the Spiritual Warrior and also shared new things at Khalsa Mens Camp. I was attending for the 2nd time. It is very beautiful country and quite rural where Camp Raj Yog is, very close to the ocean. We had fun swimming, bonding with other men, and enjoyed other classes that were offered there as well. 

We have introduced quite a few new things over the last months here on this website. Please browse our 'new' section in the Radiance Collection or our 'new' section in the Dharma Collection to see them. Also check out my new 'kirpans' (Sacred Sikh Knives) on another of my websites. 

Blessings, Peace and Joy to All.   Jot Singh

I’m off to the Tucson, AZ USA – Gem, Jewelry and Mineral Shows. There I’ll be working to find wonderful new items to make available through this website. I’ll also search for new designers and manufacturers to collaborate with to create wonderful new things, also to be featured here. I generally enjoy what has become an annual trip, scouring hundreds of wholesale vendors jewelry and related objects, seeking brilliant, excellently executed things. It is very satisfying to find innovative designs, where artisans have created original, marvelous works that “sing” to me, in varied ways. I’ll also offer a yoga/meditation workshop at a colleague’s yoga center there and enjoy the company of dear friends in their cozy home while in Tucson.
Wishing you peace, joy, tranquility and prosperity,

Hello,
As I shared previously, my teacher of many years Yogi Bhajan said “There’s no lasting happiness without discipline.” In these rather challenging times for many – it seems even more important to embrace something that might help establish balance and wise decision making in ones life. There are systems and disciplines that can engender mental, physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as enrich insight into ones life. Many forms of yoga are popular today, including Kundalini -

Read about it here (copy and paste:) http://www.3ho.org/kundaliniyoga.html

which I’ve enjoyed practicing for over 3.5 decades, Tai Chi, ChiQong, some martial arts and I believe there are numerous others. Consider trying something that might uplift your Spirit and give you back your passion for life (if it seems to be missing a bit.)

We are leaving for our annual “Summer Solstice Sadhana”

http://www.3ho.org/events/yoga-retreat2.html

next week where we’ll join between 1600-2000 folks from all over the world, for an 8 day yoga and meditation “renewal.” It is held on a mountaintop in northern New Mexico on sacred land purchased from Hopi elders 4 decades ago. We hold a “Sacred Healing Walk” on one day during our stay called “Peace Prayer Day.” People from many nationalities and traditions join us for this one day event to celebrate peace and offer something from their Spirit. Many come from all over the Southwestern USA to participate in Peace Prayer Day.

http://www.peaceprayerday.org/events/peaceprayerday.html

During the 8 days there is also a huge bazaar where “everything under the sun” (almost) that this group might find useful, is offered for sale. There I always introduce at least several new designs. The entire event is an inspiring and uplifting experience. You can read more about it here:

Many blessings for peace, tranquility and prosperity.

Here’s a simple meditation using chanting – Long Sat Nams (means Truth is my essence or identity.) It will neutralize all of your mental tension and anxiety, revitalizing your glandular system and re-establishing glandular equilibrium.

Sit straight and relaxed and bring the forearms up and in until the hands meet at the heart level. Face both palms up and cross the right hand over the left palm with the fingers extended and joined to each other. Place the left thumb in the right hand.

The eyes are 9/10 closed and as the meditation progresses, they may close completely. Inhale deeply and exhale completely as you chant

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Naam

Ratio of “Saat” to “Naam” is approximately 35:1 – also pronounced this way -“Saat Naam.” Begin with 11 minutes and you can work up to 31 if you are so moved.

<h4 ONE-MINUTE BREATH (1 cycle per minute)

20 seconds to inhale, 20 seconds hold, 20 seconds to exhale

Benefits – Optimized cooperation between the brain hemispheres. Dramatic calming of anxiety, fear and worry. Openness to feeling one’s presence and the presence of Spirit. Intuition develops. The whole brain works – especially the old brain and the frontal hemispheres.

Here are some tips to make One-Minute breath easier:
To start make yourself very comfortable. Have a shawl or something on that you can remove
without exertion if you get warm. Try to be very still.
Sit straight in a chair or cross legged on a mat, cotton or wool blanket or sheepskin.
Once you are set take a couple of minutes to relax and deepen your breath.
Start – Inhale slowly and steadily, filling your lower abdomen, your stomach area,
going up to your lungs and then all the way up the chest
Lock the breath once you filled your upper chest (after 20 seconds)
Hold (20 seconds)
Then exhale, slowly gently and steadily.
At the end of 20 seconds gently revert to an inhale and begin again.

Don’t fight your breath. Be relaxed. *Having trouble working your way into it?? *

Here are two approaches:

1. Give yourself permission to work up to it.
Start inhaling for 10 seconds, holding for 10 seconds, exhaling for 10 seconds. Take a few days, or weeks and endeavor to increase to 15, 15, 15, and then to 20, 20, 20. I find that I don’t watch a clock or count seconds mentally but just do it as long as I can comfortably – all 3 segments. I also enjoy mentally chanting the nuclear form of the mantra Sat Nam (Truth is the identity of the One) which is SA TA NA MA. I find that centering and calming.

2. Start with 20, 20, 20. If you find yourself struggling against your breath, complete the breath and then begin one minute of deep breathing. After a minute, start again – inhaling for 20 seconds, holding for 20 seconds, exhaling for 20 seconds

We are still adding new things regularly to the site. Most of the items here are designed to enhance your energetic presence and uplift your Spirit. Consider having a look at the “Transformational Properties of Gems” by clicking the link which is at the bottom of every page on this site. Then locate those gemstones and/or precious metals that will give you strength, balance, and insights to help you enjoy your life more. You can then type each of those items into the “Search” box at the bottom of every page and you’ll come up with a list of pieces that we carry, in a variety of price ranges for your consideration. Blessings for good health and happiness!!

We are in the early Fall in New England. Always a lovely time of year, with leaves on trees beginning to take on vibrant colors and the weather cooling off nicely. I had the good fortune later this summer to attend the annual Yoga Festival in the Loire Valley in France, a charming area about 2 hours south of Paris in the French countryside. There are numerous castle-like chateaus throughout the region, with marvelous and varied architecture, artifacts and history. This is my 8th year in a row attending this event and I’ve visited all of the major chateaus there. I’m normally leading a workshop or two at the Festival, relaxing a bit and selling my things in the evening. It is always an uplifting experience to be at this festival, where there are numerous opportunities to visit with many who come from all over the world. Immediately after the Festival I flew to U.K. for the first time. I’ve traveled quite a few places in the world but this was my first trip there, spending a week between Birmingham and London. My plan, which went well I’m grateful to report, was to promote a kirpan (Sikh knife) of my design that I’m producing in Asia, visit with colleagues and friends and share some of my new jewelry designs, and also to meet with folks interested in placing custom orders for my knives, swords and kirpans. I had the good fortune to meet with a most respected leader of a large Birmingham Gurdwara (Sikh temple) who was kind enough to share some time and insights related to the concept of the kirpan, and its sacred significance for the Sikh Panth (community.) I was very grateful for his kindness and generosity. Those who hosted me while there were most gracious as well, and it was a wonderful week in Britain! Even did a radio interview on Punjab (Northern India) Radio!
I’m still in the process of uploading all of the various things to this site that are in inventory – consider checking back regularly and there should be new items. There are new designs coming quite soon as well!
Blessings, Jot Singh

The Solstices (summer – June 20th and winter – December 21st) and the days immediately surrounding them are considered auspicious times for spiritual growth and development. For over 30 years now, during the Summer Solstice time, I’ve attended Summer Solstice Sadhana high in the mountains north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. On land where the Hopi nation conducted sacred ceremonies for generations, we, (3HO Foundation / www.3ho.org ) who are now the custodians of this land, host almost 2000 people from all over the world for a 10 day yoga intensive. We continue some of the traditions, one a sacred healing walk as part of the event. There is also a huge bazaar where “everything under the sun” (almost) that this group might find useful, is offered for sale. There I always introduce at least several new jewelry designs. So in these weeks prior to this event, as I’m receiving shipments of new things, I’ll upload them on the site-leading up to my June 17th departure for two weeks. Stay tuned and check back for new items. Thanks, Jot Singh
