Siri Singh Sahib stories

Hari Jiwan Singh shares a monthly story about his personal experiences with the Siri Singh Sahib Ji.

Yogi Bhajan, Prayers Come True

I am experiencing so much gratitude for the Miracle of this Path and the Power of Love. For me they are my saving grace. And for me the best part is that this opportunity is open to all! I wanted to share a story that came to me that illustrates this miracle.

There wasn’t much you could do for the flu a century or so ago. One of the few things you could do was to go to your local chemist, drugstore, as they were called back then, and ask for a bottle of Laudanum which was just tinctured opium.

Yogi Bhajan: Faith in Keeping Up

I hear it said everywhere, ‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.’ Well, this is right and wrong at the same time. Through one window, science, it’s right; through the window of the arts, it’s wrong. Please, let me explain.

Yogi Bhajan: Sharing

Life is not going to get better, at least not in the foreseeable future. That is, if you don’t have a release valve. Change is difficult enough when we choose it. And when unwanted change is cast upon us, it has the potential of being unbearable. Say hello to the immediate future.

Yogi Bhajan: Advancement

It turns out that the biggest hindrance to advancement on a spiritual path is “I”. Like always, “I” gets in the way. The “I” referred to is the ego, and when it’s used for any purpose other than defense, the I, ego, halts advancement like a car slamming to a stop avoiding an accident. Please, let me explain how this works.

Yogi Bhajan: The Change Trend

Sat Nam Dear Family,
With the pandemic, the martyrdom of George Floyd and the swell of social activism, new questions are being asked of government, society and ourselves. We are being challenged philosophically, socially, economically politically, and spiritually. And all of this is causing a lot of pain and change is painful.

Short Story

“One day, Guru Hargobind was riding on his horse. He stopped. He asked the accompanying Sikhs. He said, “There is something moving on that garbage pit. What is it?”

“Lord, it is garbage, maybe some dead animal?”

He said, "I don't know, whatever it is, could somebody go and check it out for me?"

So they checked it and they saw a child. And they said, "Sir it's a boy, it is a child. Somebody has left it here. But it’s very dirty." Gundaa-i, it’s dirty!

Yogi Bhajan: Amortized Faith

Why do prayers work, not work, or only work sometime? It’s not a difficult question to answer; it is a difficult answer to do! Let me explain it from my experience.

The more faith you truly have, the more your prayers become answered. When you're so trustworthy that God has merged with you, he allows you the grand prize of making your life a constant prayer, your prayer.

Yogi Bhajan: The Arcane Vein of Pain

“O Nanak, the whole world is suffering. He alone is victorious, who believes in the Lord.s Name. No other action is of any account. || 1 || “ Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Page 954 Siri Guru Granth Sahib

Yogi Bhajan: Patience

For years we’ve been taught that patience pays, that in the long run things even out. Then why do some students maintain the joy, the duty, the continuum, while other don’t seem to realize enough of their desires.

There are many reasons, but one word trumps them all. Karma. Everyone’s karma is their own, unique to them. It is written in the scriptures that you either have that mark on your forehead or you don’t; that you're destined toward God, or fatefully fall short.

Yogi Bhajan: Inventiveness to Deathlessness

Deathlessness. What’s that all about? What does it mean to you? What is it? Take a minute, sit still, close your eyes, and contemplate deathlessness. Create your own thought, ‘I am deathless.’ How do you see it? Where do you fit in? How do you envision experiencing it? Just close your eyes and project deathlessness.

Done? O.K. First, let me say that your version of deathlessness is yours. There’s no right or wrong, no good or bad answer.
