Welcome to Spirit Rising Foundation. On the auspicious day of August 26th, 2009, the anniversary of Yogi Bhajan's birthday, we announced that 3HO Foundation of Illinois, Inc. changed its name to Spirit Rising Foundation. Additionally, the Spirit Rising Foundation will now operate Spirit Rising Yoga Center - Chicago's oldest and most venerable Kundalini Yoga Center!
The
Spirit Rising Foundation is a not-for-profit service based Aquarian business model
that has as its mission: to share the teachings of Kundalini yoga and
yogic lifestyle, appropriate for householders, to allow an ordinary
person to live in the world and be active in society, to experience the
ecstasy of consciousness, and then use this consciousness to take a
leadership role in serving humanity.
Expect to see a number of transformations and offerings by Spirit Rising Foundation in the near future, including:
* Offering International KRI Level 1 & 2 Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Certification Courses
* A robust schedule of Kundalini Yoga courses designed for practitioners at all levels
* The Kenny Velez/Guru Kar Singh Memorial Scholarship Fund
* Specialized workshops, concerts and Kundalini Yoga and Yogic Lifestyle events
* Monthly Community Group Aquarian Sadhana
* Hosting other community events with an emphasis on service and building a broader spiritual community
Spirit Rising Foundation activities are based
on the teachings of the Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh
Khalsa Yogiji, affectionately known throughout the world as Yogi Bhajan, and supports 3HO IKYTA practices that reflect 3HO values.
The Foundation’s purpose and goal is
to enrich people’s lives by educating and introducing them to the teachings of Yogi
Bhajan and the Aquarian/3HO lifestyle. The key components of this lifestyle are based on a unparalleled pool of teachings that include-
|
  |
Kundalini Yoga and Meditation |
| |
 |
Early Morning Sadhana (practice)
|
|
 
|
Seva, also referred to as Karma Yoga, is the selfless service that our
community strives towards that accelerates spiritual growth. |
| |
  |
Healthy eating based on a non-flesh food Ayurvedic diet, alcohol and
drug free |
| |
 |
The Yogic Science of Relationships known as Humanology |
| |
  |
Sound and Mantra and the Shabad Guru, in both meditation
and throughout the day |
| |
 
|
Living in or surrounding ourselves with and developing Conscious
Community/Sadh Sangaat |
| |
  |
Householder living, respect for family and children.

Because the purpose and spirit of the Foundation is so inextricably
intertwined with the purpose of 3HO and the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, an
explanation of both 3HO and Yogi Bhajan is helpful to understand the scope
and aspirations of the Foundation.
