Raj Karega Khalsa
Traditional Sikh prayer by Guru Gobind Singh
Raaj Karega Khalsa || Those who live according to their own light shall rule.
Aakee rahai na koi || No one will stand against them.
Khwar hoi sabh milaingay || All those who meet together in humility
Bachai sharan jo hoi | Will be in the Protection of God’s Sanctuary
Sat Nam Sat Nam Sat Nam Ji
Wahe Guru Wahe Guru Wahe Guru
Kal Akaal
Kal Akaal, Siree Kaal, Maha Akaal, Akaal Murat, Waheguru
This mantra is a reminder of our nature, which exists beyond death. Kal = death, Akaal = deathless or eternal. Waheguru is an exclamation of pure ecstasy in the face of God’s wisdom. It runs through, and exists beyond, all things.
Guru Ram Das
Guru Guru Wahe Guru Guru Ram Das Guru
This mantra is the nirgun-sirgun mantra. The first line describes the formless quality of God (nirgun). The second line describes God in the form (sirgun) of Guru Ram Das, who was a great saint and yogic master. When we chant this mantra we open up our hearts to receive the miracles waiting to be realized in our life.

The Music Is Always There (Sa Ta Na Ma)
Lyrics by Sirgun Kaur
I have been told not to dwell
There was a time I didn’t listen so well
Every time I nearly fell, the music was always there
Growth is constantly getting its way
And by Thy grace, I find the courage it takes
Praise the change that brings each new day
The music is always there
When I feel the tears well up
Or that God has overfilled my cup
I have learned to lift myself up
And hear the music that’s always there
And sing the music that’s always there
The orchestra plays
The truth resounds
In time and space the heart has already found
We may get lost in life’s ups and downs
The music is always there
Sa Ta Na Ma
This mantra represents the cycle of life. Sa = infinity, Ta = birth into form from infinity, Na = death, Ma = rebirth
