Description:
This musical anthology is a very special collection of morning mantras sung by Sat Kirin Kaur Khalsa. The sound of her voice is a mixture of sweetness and brilliance, arranged & accompanied by Master musicians of India. The power of the Gurbani is felt through her very clear and accurate pronunciation.
These chants are composed in the enchanting and empowering Raags of Northern India. The rhythms of the tabla's, the joy of the violin and the Rabab with subtle synthesizer accents bring the East to the West with a fresh energy. Music and Majesty will give you a new way to start your day harmoniously and relieve the inner stress of your mind.
These mantras are composed in the traditional musical format of Raags of Northern India. Each Raag has it's own scale with a set of rules for improvisation. The Raags used here are specifically for pre-dawn meditation. They are in the Gurmukhi language which comes from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh Scriptures or Guru). Their correct pronunciation gives the experience of transformation to the practitioner.
They are the methodology for this millennium to dispel the inner darkness, relieve the grief and internal stress of the mind and open the Inner Light of bliss. This practice is to be done daily in the nectar hours, 4 am to 7 am. Sitting in meditation after taking a cold bath is to focus with full attention; the mind, the body and voice on these mantras. The object is to experience the Inner Light of peace and transform the life to harmony. Any one can do this.
Biography:
Life is a series of experiences, good, bad and indifferent. By some good fortune when we are given an experience that nurtures and supports the very essence of our being, we have a gift of the steady Truth. This is what I experienced 34 years ago at my first Kundalini Yoga class. Gradually I added more and more lifestyle practices (taught by Yogi Bhajan) into my daily routine. Over the years when weathering a life challenge became an issue or tricky blind turns presented themselves, I found the results of these life changes brought clarity and steadiness. Exploring inner space and slow down rather than outer space and the world of speed up; became the primary focus in my life.
While on a study trip to the Golden Temple in India in 1973, (with Mrs Yogi Bhajan) I started learning the transformational music of Shabd Kirtan with Kirtan masters called Ragi's. Prior to my first India trip, I had completed my Bachelor of Arts at Pennsylvania State University w/a BA in Psychology and a minor in Art and Music. The combined spiritual dimensions of a yogic lifestyle along with the elevated musical realm of the Shabd, gave my life a depth of fulfillment that I could only dream about.
For 20 years I had the good fortune to live in LA and study directly with Yogi Bhajan. During those years, along with being a wife and mom, Yogi Bhajan appointed me (1980) to teach about the Shabd Guru to our community and children. Teaching the language, music and caring for the Guru were all a part of this work. Singing and teaching has been taking me to India, England, Canada, Mexico and South Africa. This has given me the opportunity to study with Indian Classical masters that has enabled me to produce 4 musical albums of Shabd Kirtan. I have also been representing 3HO* at the United Nations to disseminate our mission of peace and service since my move to New York 11 years ago. 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.
