Lessons of Life with Kirtan with S.S. Satkirin Kaur Khalsa (English and Spanish Online Workshop)

We are inspired by a very special woman in Sikh history, and we also feel she represents us a lot since the majority of us are women. I’m talking about Mata Khivi Ji or Bibi Khivi, wife of Guru Angad Dev Ji, second Guru of the Sikh religion.

The Sikh way of life can be a tremendous help by bringing experiential inner awareness of the interconnectedness of all there is, and that every internal move of energy, be it a thought or an action, has an impact on the outside world.

When I discovered the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, offering me a universal path, of union, of integration in the individuality, of respect and communion with all expressions of faith…they stole my heart.

After wandering and feeling lost, I had found a state of joy, of ecstasy. I was touched. I felt that now I was swimming in an infinite ocean and that I not only floated in it, but I merged with it.

I was living on the south coast of Chile and building my home in a beautiful place where the river and the ocean join together and where we are surrounded by forest, rain and rainbows. My teacher gave me a tape with the words “Japji Sahib” written on top. Now I understand the power of that gift, because it was the beginning of my Journey on this Spiritual Path that changed my life.
