1972 O Guru Ram Das, Thank You For This Beautiful Day!
On an evening in 1972, in the little kitchen of the Panj Pyare Ashram in this big row house with three floors in Baltimore on St Paul Street, there were two shaktis having it out with each other while preparing dinner. I was sitting quietly witnessing the cat fight they were stirring into the stew, at the bottom of the winding steps that lead from the kitchen up to the second floor living quarters. I was thinking they need help. I don’t even think they knew I was there they were so intent upon cooking and arguing. I quietly head up the winding steps to my bedroom, sat on my bed on the floor, picked up my guitar, and began composing “Oh Guru Ram Das, Thank You For This Beautiful Day”. I went back down the stairs, sat with my guitar, and sang this legacy song for the first time. The argument dissipated, and the ashram had a delightful dinner that night, thanks to Guru Ram Das.
1978 The Yogi Tea Song
I penned that one in September 1978 on a piece of scratch paper in the kitchen after a work shift at the Golden Temple Conscious Cookery in Los Angeles while I was going to chiropractic college. The song just kind of came right out. I remember singing it for the first time that year at an impromptu post-Tantric songfest at Winter Solstice at Camp Winona in Deland, Florida. It was immediately following a rigorous day of Tantric with the crowd still seated under the late afternoon sky amongst the evergreens and palms. The Siri Singh Sahib was sitting in the back with his staff. There were several other groups who sang. I was the last to sing as the sun was setting and brought the house down. During the gregarious, resounding applause, the Siri Singh Sahib yelled out from the back, "He's a chronic bachelor. He spends cold nights alone in his sleeping bag. Anyone interested, put your request in at P.O. Box Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero"! Someone did make a request after the crowd turned out, but that's a whole other story!!!

I sat on my bed on the floor back in 1972, and this song just came out. I remember "manifest" was a funny word to put into a song. I wasn't really sure exactly what it meant but it rhymed and it sounded cool. Originally, the refrain was La La La - La La La - La La La - La La La, not Sat Nam - Sat Nam - Sat Nam - Sat Nam. But that's how songs go. People over time finish them for you. I sing it both ways now. BTW, here's a much better version, the very last song of the very last day, at the name-christening of Sat Nam Fest from Spirit Fest, named after the late Sat Nam Kaur, mother of Hargobind Singh and Sat Darshan Kaur, then married to Satwant Singh, who sponsored yearly sing-alongs at her home, attended by musicians worldwide. Amazingly, Sat Kartar Kaur, singer/musician in the Khalsa String Band, was at that fest somewhere in Maryland or Pennsylvania, and everyone including all the musicians, staff, and audience, nailed it including her, on one take, no rehearsal. We truly manifested the Perfect Name!

Mahendra Kapoor - Nanak Nam Jahaz Hai
About 1973, Yogi Bhajan started the tradition of rousing everybody on the final day of White Tantric Yoga with one more ecstatic feat, one more victorious gesture, and for that he would tell the sound technician to play at full volume the rousing Sikh anthem, Deh Shiva sung by Mahendra Kapoor from the soundtrack of Nanak Naam Jahaaz Hai. After the first time, everyone knew the routine. It was time to join up with anybody close by and energetically run and dance to the martial tune of Deh Shiva as long strings of yogis formed, hand in hand, leaping and snaking their way through the tantric shelter. from Messenger from the Guru's House

The reason I wrote (Song of the Khalsa) was back in 1971, at Summer Solstice, we had the solstice on somebody's farm and the deal was that we could use the farm to have the solstice, as long as we helped the people who lived there with their crops. So every day, for a couple of hours every morning, a whole bunch of people would just go down in the fields and help do weeding and whatever they were doing. And they had this big farm truck with a big flat on the back and instead of sides, it had wooden posts with wooden posts that went across so they made a lattice.
And Yogi ji said he saw the truck full of people being taken down to the farm and he had this image, and he said, "Some day, we'll be taken away in trucks like these to be killed and we'll be singing "May the long time sun shine upon you" as we go to be killed.
And ever since he said that, I always thought, "That's a nice song, but I'd like something with a little more oomph if I'm being taken to be killed." And so that was the genesis of the thought process that brought that kind of... What song would I want to be singing when I am being taken away to be killed? So that's where that came from.

In 1995, in the holy city of Amritsar, a huge and unprecedented Sikh conference took place. It had been organized jointly by the president of the chief religious body, the SGPC, and Yogi Bhajan with the intention of making a statement of strenght and unity after thirteen long years of state terrorism, genocide and repression. There were forces deeply jealous of the Siri Singh Sahib's historic teaching mission outside of Punjab. There were those who wished Sikhs to never be united. There were those who wanted Sikhs to be left behind while the modern world advanced in science, technology and communication. Though the holding of the conference remained in question until the week boefore it was held because of countless security and political considerations.
Finally, Yogi Bhajan arrived with about a hundred students representing a range of nationalities. They brought with them two potent publications, just printed: a scientific overview of the physiology of mantra meditation called "Shabad Guru: Quantum Technology for Awareness" and a full colour book "History of Sikh Dharma of the Western Hemisphere." The book was selectively distributed among leaders and opinion-makers in Amritsar. The overview, in 74 pages, was distributed widely on the Guru Nanak Dev University campus where the conference was held.
On the final day, a large congregation assembled at the historic Manji Sahib Gurdwara on the perimeter of the Golden Temple. There, Yogi Bhajan was feted and celebrated for his work. And there, he and Livtar Singh, introduced the thousands in attendance to the Song of the Khalsa.

This is the story, the cosmic story, of Wha Wha. Yogi Bhajan was in the car one day with some people. They drove by a pet shop. Yogi ji happened to look in through the petshop window and spotted the puppy, a white Westy (or West Highland Terrier).
He told the driver to STOP! Turn around, go back, and get that puppy. He named the male puppy Wha Wha. (later, a black Scottie would be added to the family as companion for him. She was named Wha Wee.)
Wha Wha became a proud protector of Yogi ji. He took his job very seriously. Not in a mean way, but as a sharp observer of people's demeanor and intent.
Later in his life, he started to have health issues with his lungs. He was sent away from smoggy L.A. to the clear air of Tennessee to live with Rai Kaur (and family), a veterinarian.
No one realized how much he resented being sent away until Yogi ji came to visit one time. Yogi ji sat on a chair. Others gathered around a coffee table. Yogi jj was at one end of the table, everyone else on the sides. Wha Wha was let into the room. Wha Wha went to each person around the table, nuzzled them, took a scratch behind the ear, and said hello. But when he came to Yogi ji, he raised his nose up in the air, and pranced right past him, without even glancing in his direction!
Even with Yogi ji calling to him, "Hey, Wha Wha!", he looked straight and marched past him. Wha Wha then continued around the table, saying hello to each and every other person. Then he sat down without acknowledging Yogi ji in the slightest. It took about 15 minutes before Wha Wha decided to forgive him. He finally came over and "allowed" Yogi ji to pet him. I saw this with my own eyes, or I would not have believed it.
This was a relationship on a level far beyond pet and master. This was equals.
The poem is at once a tribute to his faithful servant, and about seeing the infinite working through the personality and form of Wha Wha. God in the form of Dog. God in the form of any student who becomes master. The aspects of the Wha Wha's character, service, and devotion result in liberation. Ultimate wealth. Doesn't matter which incarnation you are it at the time.
When Wha Wha passed away, Sat Simran, who also loved Wha Wha, happened to be flying across country. She was over Tennessee at the exact moment it happened. She was dozing and had a dream/vision of a great throng of people chanting and raising a great soul into the heavens. She didn't know what it meant, until later after she landed and heard the news. Here is Yogi ji's tribute to perfect devotion.

1976 It All Comes Back To You
Guru Shabad Singh
It started with a phone call from his wife. Sarab Shakti Kaur was at a pay phone at the Khalsa women’s camp in New Mexico and she was calling her husband, Guru Shabad Singh at their home in Eugene, Oregon. The year was 1989.
“Hi, Honey,” she said, “the Siri Singh Sahib has taught us this mantra that is the most beautiful I have ever heard. You have to write it down!” It was a command, not a request.
Guru Shabad Singh quickly grabbed a pen and paper from the kitchen drawer and took down the mantra as his wife read it to him, syllable by syllable, as Yogi Bhajan had taught it earlier. She began chanting, “Sa ray sa sa, sa ray sa sa, sa ray sa sa sa rang. Har ray har har, har ray har har, har ray har har har rang.”
“Whoa, that is really cool!” he said, “I’ve never heard one like this before. It’s long!”
In no time, Guru Shabad Singh had picked up his guitar and begun strumming and singing a melody. Soon thereafter, he was in a studio with a producer, determining how it should be recorded. Then, they were doing it. For thirty-one minutes straight, blistered fingers and all, they recorded the song.
The next day, Guru Shabad Singh sent the newly-recorded cassette tape to the Master through his wife, who ran it to his quarters as soon as she received it. When Sarab Shakti Kaur played it for him, he said, “This is perfect!” Without hesitation, Yogi Bhajan continued, “Now, here are two more I want put to music. I need them done quickly. Write this down…” And the work continued.
That afternoon, the Siri Singh Sahib began playing the mantra as it had been recorded, and he continued playing it for the remainder of the camp and beyond. He said, “This is the path of Kundalini music. This tape shall live forever. It brings peace to those on whose forehead peace is not written. It will bring prosperity to those who do not know how to spell it. It will bring you good luck when you have done nothing good, not even in a dream. This is the opening of the lotus which turns the divine Mother back to the navel point.”
Some years later, when Yogi Bhajan was visiting Eugene, he asked that Guru Shabad Singh come to see him. When he arrived, the Master asked, “What is the best-selling mantra in 3HO?”
“Rakhay rakhanhaar?”
“Nope, it’s Sa Ray Sa Sa.”
His student was puzzled. Sa Ray Sa Sa had been available for sale for years and Singh Kaur’s music was trendy at the time.
The Siri Singh Sahib went on to explain that some yoga students from Europe had taken Sa Ray Sa Sa and turned it into a number one hit on the disco charts in Italy. Sure enough, Guru Shabad Singh purchased a copy of the song and they heard it done surprisingly to a Euro beat.
In a private meeting around Summer Solstice in 2002, Yogi Bhajan advised his student that he was going to “die in two years.”
Shortly thereafter, at a yoga class in Espanola, the Master told his recording engineer, Siri Ved Singh, to play another recording Guru Shabad Singh had made, Ajai Alai from Jaap Sahib. As the night went on, he asked Siri Ved to turn the volume up louder… and louder… and louder still, with the Sangat singing at full volume. The thundrous chorus filled the room, the intensity growing by the second.
At one point, it struck Guru Shabad Singh that this might be the last time he would see his teacher. With that thought, came a profound sense of him saying, “Thank you for your music.”
It was all too much for Guru Shabad Singh. Tears began to well up and he felt the need to leave the room. Before doing so, he stole one last look at the Master. When he cleared his eyes enough to see him, he looked at his radiant face and saw that he too was crying. It was a beautiful, musical end to their relationship on the physical plane.

“We were sitting in the St. Louis airport with Yogi Bhajan, who was waiting for a connecting flight to New York City. He asked Singh Kaur to put Rakhe Rakhan Har (a Sikh verse) to music. I was sitting next to her as Yogi Bhajan tapped out the heartbeat rhythm on an empty Styrofoam cup. I wrote the rhythm down, and when we got home, we put the rhythm into Singh Kaur’s drum machine. This is the beat heard on the final recording. The next day I went off to work. When I came home that evening, I asked Singh Kaur about it, and she played a rough recording – basically the finished piece. She had sat down in the morning and the music just flowed through her. I was always amazed and awed by her ability to put the perfect music to any words that came her way – English or Gurmukhi.” - Amar Singh Khalsa

As a young man, and student of Kundalini yoga back in the '80s, I had landed in a state of development that is known as "Shakti Pad." It is a state of mind where one's ego starts to question everything one has practiced and learned. In Zen, they say, "Become a lump of doubt!" It is the same thing.
One day, there was a large class, and Yogi Bhajan noticed I was not there and asked where I was.
The students said, "He is working."
He said in what can be described as "Sher bol" or lion speak, "Get him here!"
During a break in the class, I entered and gave my salutations and sat down in front of him.
He said," What is the problem?"
I said, " I don't want to meditate, practice yoga or meditation, and Sir, I don't want to listen to you."
He laughed and said, "None of that matters. Don't you know that all planets, moons, solar systems, and galaxies in the universe are revolving in a perfect rhythm and harmony around each other? All you have to do is pick up any of your instruments and play rhythmic patterns on them, and that will bring you into harmony with all that heavenly glory. That's all you have to do."
I went home and began to follow his advice. It not only worked by getting me through a period of doubt and confusion but became my preferred way of meditation. Through the practice of improvising the rhythmic, melodic patterns, I became quite a prolific composer, releasing nearly thirty plus cassette tapes, CDs, and now downloads into the yoga world in subsequent years.
If I possess a superpower, being a "tunesmith" is it. I am grateful for that advice. It has provided me with countless hours of joy and creativity and the pleasure of singing and playing and recording music with some outstanding musicians on many continents in the beautiful world of yoga. It, of course, also got me through a time of doubt and uncertainty. His advice was to use one's strengths to overcome one's weaknesses.
He then proceeded to tell me to go to India to study tabla, the Indian rhythm system, and Gatka, the martial art of the Sikhs. But that is another story.

My story begins in 1976 in the Toronto ashram. I had recently moved in and was familiar with the words of only one shabd, Dhan Dhan Ram Das Gur. I wanted to set it to music, so I brought my guitar upstairs to the Gurdwara, to ‘work’ on it. Now, I don’t actually play guitar. But I knew four chords that I learned from a guitarist friend. I also had never ‘composed’ music, although I was a professional singer at the time. It was one of those magical moments of creation, when the shabd simply ‘downloaded’ – in about 10 minutes. At the time I was quite shy and reticent to sing it in Gurdwara– it seemed so ‘operatic’ compared to the folk-style kirtan that was popular in those days.
Fast forward to 1985. I was married and living in the Millis ashram. Though our marriage was difficult and challenging, I still hoped for a miracle to save it. So I decided to chant the ‘miracle’ shabd, Dhan Dhan Ram Das Gur, 11 times daily, while taking my morning walk. Three days later I received a phone call from a woman unfamiliar to me, Hari Kaur (Katy Houlihan). She was counseling with Guru Charan Singh, who had advised her to get a recording of Dhan Dhan Ram Das Gur. She got an Indian recording and told him she couldn’t relate to it. He said, “Why don’t you get Sangeet to record it?” This extraordinary woman offered to cover all the expenses – from flying in my violinist and flautist, to all the production costs at a fine recording studio, to all the manufacturing costs to duplicate the first 1000 tapes etc. etc. This was indeed a miracle, although not the one I had prayed for!
There was a second miracle, more subtle, but to me it remains the most healing in all my life. I had had a cold the weekend we recorded; when I listened to it for the first time, all I could hear were my flat notes. There was no satisfaction, just my old pattern of extreme self-criticism. Shortly afterwards, Yogiji came to Millis for a Tantric course. I shyly handed him the cassette tape and then went back to my spot in the Tantric line. The next day, when he returned to L.A., I received a phone call that he needed 200 tapes immediately! From then on, he used the recording during classes in L.A. and wherever in the world he traveled. The miracle that I experienced was this: It felt as though Yogiji ‘had gone into the studio and remastered the tape – tweaked all my flat notes.’ That was a miracle of Yogiji’s healing for me, that I could for once let go of my hyper-critical self and surrender to the self-love that exists in the reality of the shabd. And isn’t that exactly what Yogiji did with all of us – tweaking and remastering parts of our broken selves to become whole?

Shortly afterwards, Yogiji came to Millis for a Tantric course. I shyly handed him the cassette tape and then went back to my spot in the Tantric line. The next day, when he returned to L.A., I received a phone call that he needed 200 tapes immediately! From then on, he used the recording during classes in L.A. and wherever in the world he traveled. The miracle that I experienced was this: It felt as though Yogiji ‘had gone into the studio and remastered the tape – tweaked all my flat notes.’ That was a miracle of Yogiji’s healing for me, that I could for once let go of my hyper-critical self and surrender to the self-love that exists in the reality of the shabd. And isn’t that exactly what Yogiji did with all of us – tweaking and remastering parts of our broken selves to become whole?
