Holy Kaur Khalsa

9/29/2013

0 Comments

 
Our dear beloved Holy Kaur passed Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 5:23 AM during morning banis. She was peaceful and surrounded by family and friends. Holy Kaur touched so many lives...she will live on in our hearts forever. Many blessings to Hari Dass Singh Khalsa and the family.

A touching letter to the community was written by her family on September 21. (We apologize that this did not go out to the community before she passed.)

There are many ways to honor Holy Kaur in the coming days...

Sunday October 6

We chant akal to send spirits through the ethers and to union with the Divine. This takes 17 days, so you can chant akal anytime between now and October 13.

In addition, for 17 days (Sep 27 - Oct 13) family and community will be chanting Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru for 31 minutes & Kirtan Sohila beginning at 7:30 PM. This will be at Hari Dass & Holy Kaur's home in Lake Oswego (address above). Parking may be limited - you may have to park at the top of the hill and walk down.

The community will still continue to chant Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru at each others' homes for this 11 day period leading up to Guru Ram Das' birthday. Please check the calendar for updated locations and times, as a few have shifted to be held at Hari Dass' home at 7:30 PM.

For 11 evenings (September 28 - October 8) leading up to Guru Ram Das' birthday we will chant his praise. Meditate with Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru for 31 minutes. 

Guru Ram Das is known as the Lord of Miracles and the days leading up to his birthday is a powerful time for the fulfillment of prayers and blessings. For 11 days, we gather in each others homes for cozy evenings of prayer, meditation, food and fellowship.

Please check the calendar to see where the meditation will be happening each evening between 7pm and 8pm. We are still in a need of a few hosts, so please let us know if you can  open your home for an hour. If you can't join the group, chant it on your own!

And that's not all! On Guru Ram Das' birthday, October 9, there will be a special sadhana - 2.5 hours of Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru. Please meet us at Shakti House at 3am!

Teacher Training begins on Oct 5!

We have 26 students registered for Level 1 teacher training so far and the number is growing! A welcome letter will be sent to registered students next week. If you still want to register there are a few more spots, so sign up while you can.

Teacher training is a great opportunity to deepen your practice in infinite ways whether you plan on teaching or not. Level 1 teacher training is offered every 2 years in Portland and is very affordable in comparison to other KRI certified Level 1 teacher training programs. 

There are a number of students coming for this training who do not live in Portland. We invite community members to consider hosting a student for all or part of the training. They would be glad to offer compensation in exchange for the possibility of staying in the energy of the community.

Visit www.nwkytt.com for more information about Level 1 teacher training in Portland. Email Bir Kaur with any questions.

Please join us for a evening of chanting, meditation and story telling with Guru Shabad Singh! A shabad is a hymn or a piece of sacred text that may be chanted kirtan style with devotional music. The man with shabad in his name will be in Portland next Friday at Shakti House.

Here's a quote from Sikhnet.com...
Guru Shabad Singh Khalsa has inspired thousands of yoga teachers, their students and their student's students for over twenty-seven years with his long line of heartfelt songs and yogic chants and mantras. His music has been sung and chanted in temples and yoga centers around the world. Other artists have recorded Guru Shabd's music, most notably a European group who made Sa Re Sa Sa a huge disco hit in Italy!
You have probably heard his music in a yoga class and perhaps not even known it! Listen to some clips.

Purchase a ticket in advance and save $5!
Advanced $20 / At the door $25
