About the Weekend Events
The foundation of the weekend celebration begins with morning Sadhana each day.
What is sadhana? It’s a committed prayer. It is self-enrichment. It is not something which is done to please somebody or to gain something. Sadhana is a personal process in which you bring out your best.”   -Yogi Bhajan

There are twelve events taking place over the weekend. You can immerse yourself in Kundalini Yoga, and it is just around the corner.  All events take place at Guru Ram Das Ashram in Toronto by donation.  The schedule is listed below.
