Going on the Hazur Sahib Yatra with members of the Sikh Dharma Khalsa Council (of which I am not a member) was a spiritual quest for me. The primary focus was on our beloved Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru, in celebration of his transferring the Guruship to the Siri Guru Granth Sahib.
Guru Gobind Singh's energy has directly impacted my life through an ongoing process of bestowing gifts and sacred realizations. Until Guru Gobind Singh interceded, I used Sat Kriya to wash my personal laundry--my daycare, a proposal for a new Yoga Gems publishing contract, family members, friends, my livestock's health--whatever needed cleansing or healing, with practical, often vastly played-out results.
When the Gurus first started converging on my meditations in 2006, I asked them to approach me one by one so I could sort out what they each wished to share with me. One day, on coming upon Guru Gobind Singh, what he did was startling and beyond my understanding--I saw him standing in the cosmos balancing the planet earth upon the tip of his sword. No explanation was given.
Many months later while doing Sat Kriya meditatively calling on the Gurus and using the Golden Temple to wash my laundry, at the outset I was surprised to see Guru Gobind Singh place an image of the earth on my fingertips. It did not make sense at all, until I recalled the sword incident, at which point I saw how the straight upward reach of my arms, palm to palm in Sat Kriya resembles Guru's double edged sword. The slight, powerful up and down movement of my arms from my shoulders creates a surging gurgitation Tapa that washes the laundry--in this case, washing the earth!
At the time my meditative laundry was going right from the wash to a rinse cycle. But on this day, Guru Gobind Singh had me put the earth through a wringing-out phase, which exuded huge black globs of gluck, sweeping me away with it! I pleaded with the Guru to pull me out. He reminded me to silently chant the mantra Yogiji gave me, which I was to do continuously, silently, as fast as I could twenty-four hours a day--"Ik Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad, Sat Gur Prasad, Ik Ong Kar". With this mantra's cleansing flow I was immediately cleared of darkness.
Deep personal experiences with Guru Gobind Singh include his revealing my relationship to him in a past life. The Yatra to Hazur Sahib was a very sacred opportunity for me to intuitively explore Gurdwaras and sacred sites Guru Gobind Singh ji and I visited in that lifetime. In so doing, I came to a natural, blessed understanding of the purpose and present reality of my continuing destiny.
