by SS Krishna Singh Khalsa, Espanola NM Spring 2015 The Ardas admonishes us to meditate on Guru Harkrishan and it promises us that if we do so “all sickness and sufferings will depart.” From a Raj Yoga perspective, we can consider that Guru Harkrishan was the Eighth Guru, and intrinsically related to the eighth subtle body, which is the Pranic Body. Prana is Life Force, and ultimately all healing and well-being are derived from Prana. We are reminded of the extremely young age of five years at which Guru Harkrishan became Guru. There was considerable skepticism and doubt that a child

Prana Yoga and Guru Harkrishan
Guru Harkrishan’s Sacrifice
by SS Gurujodha Singh Khalsa, Mexico City Spring 2015 It is interesting that the numerology of this year (2015) brings together the number 8 and the number 5. Beyond the fact that Guru Harkrishan as the Eight Sikh Guru embodies the virtues of the Pranic Body, he became Guru at the age of 5 and he died at the age of 8.

Secretary of Religion Column (Spring 2015)
There is a passage in the Ardas that strikes me deeply: “…but never gave up their faith and determination to live according to Sikh Dharma, with all their hair, to the last breath. Meditate, O pure ones…” Our Sikh history is full of examples of extreme sacrifice to carry this faith forward. The Ardas speaks of this heritage. It is a daily reminder of our roots and what qualities help us overcome the obstacles and challenges in our lives. It can serve as a reminder to keep up. As a therapist, I must utilize the neutral mind. The Siri Singh
