"Satkirin Kaur Khalsa"
For nearly four decades SatKirin Kaur Khalsa has devoted her life to expanding the consciousness of humanity through music and Naad Yoga, the yoga of sound
Having studied extensively with kirtan masters, she offers first-hand knowledge of the powerful meditative system of words and music called "Shabd" which she imparts with authenticity, enthusiasm and dedication. Using the Indian sacred musical format of Raga scales, SatKirin creates an effective means of healing the human body through the soul. Her live performances of kirtan, mantra workshops, and her 13 CDs will carry you into a deep experience of your own spirituality.
She has studied, practiced and performed with well-known ragis and artists such as Bibi Amarjit Kaur, Bhai Jaspal Singh, Bhai Pargat Singh, Ustaad Narinder Singh and Bhai Hari Singh of Patiala Gharana, Dave Frank, and Thomas Barquee.
SatKirin's immersive dedication to the yogic sciences has taken her all over the world to share this knowledge, which she began learning directly from her teacher, Yogi Bhajan, in 1970. She is a teacher trainer of Kundalini Yoga with a deep, direct understanding of this yoga discipline. She teaches at the annual 3HO Winter and Summer Solstice events and at Women's Camp in New Mexico.
As a Sikh Minister, appointed by Yogi Bhajan in 1974 to the position of Guru Granthi to the Los Angeles Gurdwara (Sikh Temple), and now serving the Manhattan Gurdwara, SatKirin projects grace in exalted service for the care and teaching of the Sikh Holy text, the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. She teaches the sacred language of Gurmukhi to the adults and children of the community and performs Sikh religious ceremonies.
As part of her mission to disseminate peace and service through music, SatKirin is a representative to the United Nations Department of Public Information for the NGO of Healthy Happy Holy Organization (3HO Foundation).
In addition, probably her most impressive contribution is raising two sons, with her beloved husband Siri Vishnu Singh. Gurumustuk Singh is the webmaster and founder of the famous Sikh-devoted website, www.sikhnet.com, and father of two children aged 2 and 7. Dharam Singh attends college in Phoenix, Arizona.
SatKirin Kaur Khalsa shares her wisdom by allowing us to gain a clear experiential understanding of the power of the Naad, or universal sound current. Like a loving mother, she nurtures within us a deeper experience of ourselves through her gifts as a singer, musician, teacher, minister, and advocate. As she says, “Sharing the technology of this yogic way of life to uplift, enrich and bring harmony and peace to others is a gift that can only grow with sharing.
