Grand Gongmaster Don Conreaux
Don Conreaux formerly known as Baba Don and Guru Jagat. Master Don was one of the five original Kundalini Yoga Teachers designated by Yogi Bhajan in 1969. Don also studied the gong writings of Dane Rudhyar. He established the Nanak Dwara Ashram Teacher Training 1970-1976 in Phoenix, Arizona. His very first teacher as a Teenager in 1952 was Paramahansa Yogananda, receiving his Kriya Initiation in 1953.
Don originated:
The Gong Yoga of Holistic Resonance, the title of Gong Master, Gong Therapy, The Gong Bath, The Gong Puja, Spiritual Free Jazz, and Songs and Concerts for Humanity.
Dons Contribution to the spreading of the Gong worldwide is perhaps unparalleled and the breadth and depth of his teachings are hard to summarise in a few short paragraphs. However, several themes of great importance to the budding Gong Master are woven throughout his teaching.
Firstly Beauty, or as Don might say ‘Beauty is the greatest healer’. Don Charges the student of the gong to imbue each and every sound healing offering with as much beauty as they can muster. Secondly Unity and synthesis. Whether it’s the illumination of the correspondences of different note systems or the elegant combining of diverse technologies and philosophies in MEM yoga of Holistic resonance. The overlaying of multiple divination systems in the Starhenge or powerful weaving of song from all traditions in the Global Mantra Sutra, the principle of Functional Harmony or, in other words, the unity of diversity is made an active experiential reality. Thirdly Liberation. Dons teaching includes practices designed to aid the student in the breaking of old patterns and the embracing of a life of creativity and spontaneity in order that they can embody the axiom ‘A Gong Master is ready for anything’. And fourthly service. Those stepping into the way of the gong can see themselves as world servants. Serving their community, region and the world whenever invited. Dedicated to the coming first day of World Peace and Planetary Cooperation in a world without violence for our children of the New Millennium.
Whether Don Joins us in person, Via Zoom or in spirit, the faculty of Gong Master Training UK are committed to honouring Dons teachings to the fullest to the very best of their ability.
