by Siri Kirpal Kaur Khalsa

This book explains the spiritual underpinnings of Sikh practice, including how Sikhs use sound to experience the Divine. You’ve seen Sikhs and wondered why they wear turbans and what they believe. Or you’ve been invited to a Sikh event and are wondering what to expect. This book explains what Sikhs practice, how they practice it and why. Along the way, you’ll get to read Sikh poetry, including passages by the great Sufi/Hindu saint Kabir. You’re a Kundalini Yoga student and wonder what the connection is between Sikhism and Kundalini Yoga. This book explains where the two disciplines meet and where they differ. It also includes some Kundalini Yoga you can practice, including one previously unpublished meditation.  This book tells stories of people who became Sikhs and why they did so.
