by SS Sham Kaur Khalsa, La Paz, Bolivia Spring 2014 The capacity of human beings to feel compassion is nowadays a requirement to navigate the ocean of life on earth. Some may call it an emotion or a virtue. But I feel that compassion is an absolute requirement for happiness. I believe that compassion requires a definite action which has to come from a neutral and peaceful place in our heart and mind, so that it can become a pattern in our brain. Compassion then becomes a way of life, a choice we make, a commitment that comes from our

Compassion in Action
Understanding Through Compassion
by SS GuruJivan Kaur Khalsa, Victoria, Australia Spring 2014 Guru Har Rai is the seventh Master in Sikh Dharma. He was the grandson of Guru Hargobind. He is known as the “tender-hearted” Guru. He was born in Kiratpur, India. His father was Guruditta Ji (son of Guru Hargobind Ji) and his mother was Mata Nihal Kaur ji. His wife was Mata Kishan Kaur Ji, also known as Mata Sulakhni Ji. After the battles and wars of Guru Hargobind’s time, the 7th Sikh Guru ushered in a time of healing and peace. Guru Hargobind instructed the boy that he should never

The Yoga of Compassion
by SS Krishna Singh Khalsa, Espanola NM Spring 2014 I have a deep appreciation for Guru Har Rai as a primary role model of human compassion. I also have a qualitative, causal understanding of myself through the Tantric Numerology system that we were taught by the Siri Singh Sahib. At one point in his teaching, he said that whenever you are counseling anyone, always start by understanding the numerology of that person. Guru Har Rai was the Seventh Guru. My numerological gift is the number 7, the Auric Body which essentially indicates the Crown Chakra. And the quality that we

Conversation with My Heart
by SS Kulwant Kaur Khalsa, Espanola NM and Los Angeles CA Spring 2014 I used to think that life should be mutual; but when I looked around what I saw was not mutual, at least not as I was defining it, and so I felt my universe was out of kilter. I thought that when I shared compassion, understanding, or kindness, I should get the same energy back, and in exactly the same frequency. But it never seemed to happen that way. Confused and frustrated, I searched for the perfect relationship—one that conformed to my inner criteria, one that reflected back

Evidence of Compassion
by SS Chioneso Kulwant Kaur Khalsa, Birmingham UK Spring 2014 In a world increasingly beset by strife, conflict, and the cries of the cruelly displaced, the values of compassion and its benevolent effects shine forth like a luminescent beacon on this wonderful gift of a planet we call home. Passion is part of our emotional template as humans. Compassion is a jewel of our spiritual birthright that, when engaged, raises us up and enables us to experience the closeness of the Divine. It allows us to expand in the experience of the higher aspects of our being, rather than contract

The Light of Guru Har Rai
by Bhai Sahiba Dr. Bibi Inderjit Kaur Khalsa Spring 2014 Guru Har Rai Ji exhibited the most sublime nature of divine compassion and pure sensory awareness to his physical and spiritual environments. We can learn much from his life about how we may rise to our own highest sensory human functioning. We are now living in the Aquarian frequency, and we find ourselves being relentlessly bombarded with external stimuli, which is in turn causing massive sensory overload in our population. The Siri Singh Sahib told us that this day would come. As a result, we would all be forced—often unknowingly—to

Secretary of Religion Column (Spring 2014)
What does it mean to be a Sikh Dharma Minister? Perhaps your soul incarnated during the lifetime of Guru Amar Das Ji, when the Sikh Ministry began in the mid-1500s. Unfortunately, over time the system became corrupt and Guru Gobind Singh put a stop to it. In 1972 the Siri Singh Sahib saw that there was again a need for an organized system of leadership for our Dharma, and he established our Sikh Dharma Ministry. Whether the Siri Singh Sahib awakened your soul to this destiny directly, or you experienced this calling within yourself, being a Sikh Dharma Minister is

#51 Spring 2014 Newsletter
The year 2014 embodies the vibration of the Seventh Master, Guru Har Rai. The Seventh Body, known as the Auric body, carries the qualities of compassion, kindness, elevation of the self and others, as exemplified by Guru Har Rai. In 2014, our newsletter explores the topic of Guru Har Rai: Teacher of Compassion. One of the five sutras of the Aquarian Age is “understand through compassion or you will misunderstand the times.” In these pivotal years of transition into the Aquarian Age, compassion rules.
