Yogi Bhajan Remembrance Day and Akal Takhat Martyrdom Kirtan

 

Wednesday, 10.10.2007, 12:39am (GMT-7)

 

 

As we enter a blessed time of Gurpurbs, the Sadh Sangat on Saturday,

Oct 6th 2007 started the season by commemorating the attack on the

Akal Takhat and Harimandir Sahib to pray that never again shall there

be an attack against any holy place of worship, against any other

Religious faith; and that we may remember those who gave their lives,

who stood strong as steel, steady as stone in front of their

assailants.

 

The Sadh Sangat also came together to remember the late Siri Singh

Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji, also known as Yogi

Bhajan, who came to the west to create Kundalini Yoga teachers and to

spread the Holy Naam.

 

The Siri Singh Sahib Ji was a world leader and a champion of world

peace.The evening started with one full hour of chanting " Guru Guru

Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das Guru " led by the well known Gurdwara designer

Seva Kaur Khalsa, tuning into and bringing forth the energy and light

of Guru Ram Das, The Lord of Miracles.

 

Mukhia Singh Sahib Guru Singh then joined the Sadh Sangat bringing

his guitar with him to chant joyous songs from the past and

connecting these songs to stories about the Siri Singh Sahib and to

the first time that American Sikhs went to the Harimandir Sahib to

take a sip and a dip in it's nectar tank as well as receiving Amrit.

Mukhia Singh Sahib Guru Singh was there among many who took their

Amrit vows. He recalled the story of coming out of the Golden Temple

to see a huge rainbow being up high in the blue sky. It hadn't rained

and there were no clouds.

 

The miracle of Guru Ram Das!If you happened to walk by you would have

been enchanted by the beautiful energy emanating from Guru Ram Das

Ashram. Not only was the Gurdwara beautifully lit reminding us of the

Golden Temple, but you could see and feel God and Guru's light

shining bright through every soul present.

 

That light kept on getting brighter and brighter with the presence of

Bhai Gurudeep Singh's Ragi Jetha from the Lankershim Gurdwara

bringing the Guru's word to each heart, mind and soul. After a

beautiful afternoon and evening of uplifting music and words from the

Guru, the Sadh Sangat sat together for a delicious Langar prepared

and brought with prayers from each person who attended.
