Questions to, and Communications with, the new KRI board of directors
Many of you submitted questions for the new KRI board (and some for the SSSC board). Here is the consolidated list of what is now with the new board. If you have anything additional to ask, please email Amrit Singh. The new board would like to set up an Information & Communications Committee, made of up 5 elected ATA members. This representative group of trainers would serve as a conduit for regular communications between trainers, the new CEO, and the new board of directors. Once formed, this Information & Communications committee will work to get these questions addressed. If you are interested in serving on this new committee, please email Amrit Singh. He will consolidate a list and then hold an online election to choose the 5 ATA representatives.

Negative PR Heads-Up
We are letting you know about a new documentary series that is being shown on March 10th at SXSW among many dozens of other films. It is called “Long Time Sun,” and you can read more about it here. We do not have any further information about the film, but anticipate it may contain some content critical of our teachings and community.
As we have been clear about over the last several years, KRI stands firmly against abuses of power of any form. And we are very proud of all the systems we have in place (truly the best in the yoga world) to promote a safe environment for all Kundalini Yoga students. As you may be aware, KRI’s parent organization, the Siri Singh Sahib Corporation, has heard the concerns from some current and prior community members and created numerous healing initiatives, including an Independent Healing and Reparations Program, to address them.
We hope that the limited release of this movie won’t have any negative impact on your classes and trainings. But if there is more support that KRI can give you regarding how to best respond to student questions or concerns, please let us know.
Finally, if you are approached by media for comment about this film or any other matters, please refer them to Amrit Singh for follow-up and to develop a coordinated response throughout our organizations.

Level One Requirement for an Intensive Meditation Day
The feedback from the recent trainer meetings, and on Sutra, was pretty overwhelming (though of course not unanimous!) in its support for our current policy. Therefore, the curriculum committee is withdrawing the proposal to change the requirement. The discussions also pointed out that the current policy is not clearly worded. So the curriculum committee worked on this newly worded policy document. This is NOT a change to our policy, simply an improvement in how it’s communicated. Please refer to this new wording, and let us know if you have any questions. The updated L1 certification requirements form is available as well.
Level Three is thriving!
2023 had great results. This year we successfully ran 3 Melas with new cohorts joining in each of them. There were also some people certifying and some amazing Seva Projects, which you can see on our Seva webpage. Overall, we had 54 returning participants and 37 new Level 3 students. Next year’s dates are set, and we will be accepting applications as of January 2024, please visit our website: https://kundaliniresearchinstitute.org/en/level-three-journey/level-three-journey/
Please join us and share with your students! For more information, contact Inderjot Kaur at [email protected].

There is also a separate sign-off form, participation in a day of intensive group kundalini yoga meditation, if needed. The Certification Requirement form is one of the required documents on the L1 teacher certification packet, which needs to be sent to KRI after the completion of the program, along with the Signed Code of Ethics and the Registration and Release form.

For those already in Level 3, registration is also open for both upcoming Melas in November. The KRI Level Three program is a personal journey to Self-Realization. It completes the Aquarian Teacher Training by cultivating the True Identity as teachers through meditative experience, spiritual maturity and serving others.
In-Person Trainer Forum at Winter Solstice!
Sorry that we forgot to include the winter solstice in-person trainer forum in the last trainer update. Winter Solstice will be at a new campsite in Lake Wales, FL, and our trainer gathering will be on-site beginning the day before (so the trainer meeting is the afternoon of Dec 15th and the morning of Dec 16th). Read more and register here.
Intensive Day of Meditation Sign-off forms – Especially
Now that WTY courses are happening again, there has been some confusion about signing off on attendance at the required day of intensive group meditation. Therefore, we have added a sign-off section for the Intensive Day of meditation on theL1 Certification Requirement form. We have also made a stand-alone sign-off sheet, in case trainers and Administrators need the form separately from the L1 Requirement Form –Intensive Meditation day completion form.
