“Oh sir, I’ve seen you change so much,” I blurted out one afternoon in the May of 1993. Thank God we were alone. I immediately realized that it probably wasn’t my place to speak to my teacher this way. I was shocked. He just gracefully turned his head, gave an ever so slight nod, and that was that. Well, not quite! Please let me explain.

The garden has been growing nicely during this summer solstice season. In-season crops that we have harvested for this weeks Langar: green leaf lettuce, chard, beet greens & kale!
Sarsaparilla is a great blood purifier. It is said to be helpful in cases of rheumatism, skin disorders, sexual impotence, general weakness, and to detoxify the body after taking a strong poison. (Do not attempt to use as an antidote.) It is also used as a natural stimulant of the male and female sex hormones.
“Can you please get out of your own way.” We were walking around the ranch on a rather crisp late morning in April in 1991. It was our beloved teacher’s habit and pleasure to walk and view his estate. It felt as if I were walking with a king and he was inspecting the grounds of his castle. It felt like that because that’s what he experienced. I loved living in his world.
This month's Computer Corner talks about Privacy on the Internet and why the Web Browser you use is more important than you may think.
Am I at risk from the VPNFilter router exploit? You may have heard recently that the FBI recommends any owner of small office and home office routers power cycle (reboot) the devices to counter the Russian VPNFilter malware. First of all, check and see if your router is on the list of affected devices. If it's not, then you do not need to do anything.
“Whatever I am, I’m not; whatever I think, doesn’t matter; whatever I appear to be, I’m acting and I’m not and I am. The life of sprit is neutral.” We were seated in the living room of the Estates at the bottom end of the ranch in New Mexico. There were many relatively new students seated around as It was the summer of 1982 during Solstice time. A few old time teachers were invited to bring their new students to enjoy time with the our beloved teacher. The Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan’s, statement lifted my head.
At a past Thursday Langar a delicious salad dressing was served. A lot of people kept asking for the recipe so here it is for all of you to enjoy! .
Like most dressings, the flavor gets better over time, so I recommend chilling it in the fridge for an hour or two before serving.
Since February we have been busy. Our lead farm manager Shakti Priya Kaur (Leah) has been diligently serving and guiding Sevadars in garden service for the community.
Together we have planted 2500 onions & 100lbs of potato seed. We've acquired and planted native organic heirloom seed at local exchange, providing a nice variety for the Legacy Garden.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Actually, it was forty years ago. The Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan, and I were sitting in a small restaurant, Jasons, in Westwood in late spring of 1979 enjoying a falafel. Jason’s was a small but famous stop in LA because their middle Eastern food was rockin! This was back in the days when the two of us ventured out alone each afternoon. We were just leaving a movie from around the corner and the falafel hit the spot. “Sir, if you don’t mind me asking, what changed your life. You’ve told me many times about your earlier life, and you have hinted that is was not always a pretty picture. What happened?”
