Stephen Ramjiwan Stickler is a dedicated practitioner and teacher of Kundalini Yoga based here in Los Angeles. He has devoted much time and energy to helping build our yogic community and now is our time to support him in his triumph over Stage 4 Colon Cancer. On top of being an active member of the local Kundalini Yoga sangat, he has taught extensively, recorded a Gong Suite CD available on iTunes under Ramjiwan, and most importantly, as seva, digitally restored the 10 Gurus Mandala and Tratakam, two of the most important works of art in the Kundalini Yoga lineage. The restored 10 Gurus Mandala can be viewed and purchased at Yoga West. And, the Kundalini Research Institute will soon officially debut the restored Tratakam.

Please donate generously to his Give Forward fundraiser. All funds raised go to cover his extensive medical bills.

Stephen is also a gifted and well-known professional photographer. You can also support him by purchasing his music portraiture at RockPaperPhoto.com and ImageKind.com.

When asked for a quote, Stephen replied, “I've had a lot of quotes on my mind lately, but these two fit the way I'm feeling lately - I am filled with gratitude.”

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away” - Pablo Picasso

“Every day, think as you wake up...Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive. I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts toward others. I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” - The Dalai Lama
