WAHEGURU: Mantra for Transformation

Greetings,

In this video I explain the Kundalini Yoga and Sikh mantra "Waheguru."

This mantra is an expression appreciation and awe of the TRANSFORMATION that occurs when we step from our questions into our solutions.

I break the word down into four parts - WA, HE, GU, and RU, since each of these sounds has its own very rich meaning.

WA - an expression of wonderment
HE - in this moment
GU - darkness
RU - light

Put them together and you get a most powerful all-purpose mantra.

Joyfully,

Realize Mercy || Dayaal

Dearest,

I was asked by a yogi recently about this song, Dayaal (Satigur Hoi Dayaal). It is from my album with the same name, released in 2015.

Satigur Hoi Dayaal means "when the true Guru is merciful", which means something like "when the cosmic force of the Universe is merciful." And because the Universe is not arbitrarily merciful, I translate this to mean "when you realize that the Universe is consistent and plays by laws that apply to everyone, you will see mercy in every action, every event, and every person you encounter.

There is ONLY mercy. We must grant ourselves the right to see it.

Another way of saying, your beliefs are what create your reality.

Enjoy!

Joyfully,
Sirgun
