• Extensive Questions and Answers about the report from AOB and KRI’s responses have been posted – You and your students and look at these questions and answers and submit new ones via email.  We will also be sending out an email to the entire KRI list that will also give some of these same answers.

TTEC meetings – Check out this welcome video. 

• We still need some translators to help.  Helping as a translator would not take you away from participating yourself! If you are willing to help, please contact Manou. 

• Pre-TTEC Zoom Calls to Discuss Proposals –  KRI will sponsor two zoom calls for trainers to discuss with one another their thoughts on the proposals that will be voted on at TTEC.  There will be very limited time at TTEC for discussion, so please try to come to these pre-TTEC calls.  This is your opportunity to take as much time as you want to share your thoughts and hear those of others.  Depending on your time zone the calls are on either Sunday, September 13^th, or Monday, September 14^th.  (you must register in advance):  
  • Discussion Call #1 –  Monday, Sep 14, 2020, 01:00 AM Amsterdam, September 14th, 9 AM Sydney, 6 AM Bangkok, 7 AM Bali, and China, Aug 13^th, 17:00 New Mexico, 16:00 California).  Register in advance for this meeting here.

Watch Amrit’s weekly video here – Compassionate Reconciliation, moving ahead carefully and slowly, and the new Aquarian Teacher Manual. 

Click on the “CC” at the bottom of the video to see subtitles in various languages.

• New Interim Aquarian Teacher – will be released in English on VitalSource today Sept 1^st.  It will be available in two formats – one with Yogi Bhajan’s picture and name on the cover, and one without.  The existing manual can still be used as well for those trainers that would prefer that. 

• Sept TTEC meetings – Like the Global Summit, there will be two “tracks” or daily time slots available, with each covering the same agenda items (so the expectation is that you will only attend one of the two tracks).  Please register here for the time slot that works for you on Sept 20, 21, and 22.  There is the possibility that we may need to go one hour longer at least on Day 1, but the expected times are:
  • Track 1 will be 8:00-12:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) and 
  • Track 2 will be 17:00 – 21:00 CEST

• KRI Staffing changes
  • We are saying goodbye (for now) to Sadhu Kaur, who has served as the Professional Development Coordinator, and we are welcoming Siri Sahib Singh from Brazil who will be covering this position.
  • Beginning in September, Inderjot Kaur from Mexico will be working with Japa Kaur, to keep expanding KRI’s Online Courses. 

• Certification Committee is looking for a new member – a description of what this committee does (currently – knowing that it may change), the eligibility requirements, and the selection procedure are outlined in this document.  If you meet the qualifications and are interested, please email Amrit Singh.

• The KRI Board of Directors is looking for new members – The intention is to strengthen and balance Board representation broadly across the globe and to include voices that represent the views and perspectives of our diverse community.  To that end, we invite you to self-nominate and/or recommend qualified candidates who are interested in re-inventing KRI to meet the needs, the consciousness, and the heart of this New Age.  They do NOT need to be teacher trainers.  If you are interested in self-nominating or know of a person who would love to serve the teachings and technologies of Kundalini Yoga, please send a request for more information and an application to Gurusahay Singh Khalsa.
