I was just in Amritsar visiting my son Narayan Singh who is in the middle of his first year at Miri Piri Academy and was on winter break. For me this visit to Amritsar has been very different than previous visits which have always been focused on visiting Harimandir Sahib (The Golden Temple). This time [...]

This past year one of the projects SikhNet has undertaken was to produce new weekly Sikh audio stories for Children and Adults alike to enjoy! Hopefully you have had a chance to listen to some of them because they are great. There are currently about 50 audio stories to choose from. Listen while going to [...]

I remember around 6 years ago thinking of an idea of somehow merging Gurbani in a textual format with the audio recordings of the same Shabad. This way whenever you read a text version of Gurbani you can hear many different recordings of that shabad sung, and vice versa when you are listening to Gurbani [...]

Today I thought I would share with you a new website (YogaMint.com) started by one auntie ji of mine, which is geared towards everyone! I love how they keep it light and full of humor. I think this is a great way to share information and make it fun (Like the new email service we [...]

I just finished watching a really great new movie called "Ocean of Pearls" which I highly recommend that you all see. This is one of the first professional western movie productions with a Sikh as a lead role in the story. Not only that, but the story of the movie deals with one of the [...]

The following excerpt is from the great book called: Kundalini Yoga: The Flow of Eternal Power by Shakti Parwha Kaur. She is a dear friend and like a grandmother (just turned 80!) since I was a little kid.
"Unfortunately, most parents, including yours and mine, have to depend upon their [...]

Way back in the late 70’s and early 80’s Dr. Siri Amir Singh Khalsa, D.C. compiled two great books called "Ancient Art of Self Healing" and "Ancient Art of Self Nutrition" (both are out of print). These books were a collection of excerpts from lectures, notes and classes by SSS Harbhajan Singh Khalsa (Yogi Bhajan) [...]

In the evening after my duties are done (dinner/kids ready for bed and sleeping) I have a bit of time to relax and watch some TV.  This is one of my ways of disconnecting from the day-to-day work/world and disconnect for a while. I normally watch a pre-recorded TV show because they are short, but [...]

 
Just released today is the all new mobile Gurbani Search engine for the Apple iPhone and  iTouch devices. As far as I know this is one of the first Sikh related apps for the iPhone. There is MS Pocket PC version of SikhiToTheMax, but this is the only other mobile search software I have seen [...]

I often meet people who know me and don’t know that my mother is Sat Kirin Kaur (and vice-versa). It’s always cool to make the connections of people that you know, but didn’t know were related. So, in case any of you had any doubts as to who my mother is you should now know [...]

Today I was planning to stear clear of the computer, but in another streak of inspiration I got sucked into the computer again in an effort to use Gurbani in a visual way. I first tried to see if I could generate one of these images from all the words in the Siri Guru Granth [...]
