Aquarian Age Timeline
In spring of 1969, soon after Singh had begun teaching in Los Angeles, a hit medley "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" was topping the music charts and being played everywhere. The performers, The 5th Dimension, happened to be signed to a record label owned by one of his students (and his green card sponsor), musician and entrepreneur Johnny Rivers.
Singh incorporated the storyline of the dawning new age into his teachings, a case of melding Western astrology with Sikh tradition. Singh proclaimed "Guru Nanak was the Guru for the Aquarian Age." It was, Singh declared, to be an age where people first experienced God, then believed, rather than the old way of believing and then being liberated by one's faith.
His timeline for the arrival of the Aquarian age varied over the years, but in 1992, Singh fixed it at 2012 and gave his students a set of morning meditations to practice until that date to prepare themselves.

Famous quotes containing the words aquarian and/or age:
““This is what my learning
Teaches,” the Aquarian said,
“To absorb life through the pores
For the life around you is dead.””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Nothing in medieval dress distinguished the child from the adult. In the seventeenth century, however, the child, or at least the child of quality, whether noble or middle-class, ceased to be dressed like the grown-up. This is the essential point: henceforth he had an outfit reserved for his age group, which set him apart from the adults. These can be seen from the first glance at any of the numerous child portraits painted at the beginning of the seventeenth century.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
