Angels in the Amrit is Bachan Kaurs first mantra offering. Recorded in the early stages of her musical journey, the cd captures a sweet moment from one of her first times leading a group with her versions of the Aquarian Sadhana Chants (except the Mool Mantra version, written by Nirinjan Kaur Khalsa).Originally, the recording was just for fun amongst friends. However, eventually she felt inspired to release it in February of 2006 as a fundraiser for women heading to India on a Khalsa Ladies Yatra. Since then, the Cd has served as a fundraiser for both Yoga for Youth, and to support youth in British Columbia to attend Miri Piri Academy in India (the School started by Yogi Bhajan).

Bachan Kaur's musical history began when she was a young girl and would sing songs and stories for hours on the toilet or spinning in the backyard. She stopped singing over time like most of us as we move into the stages beyond our uninhibited youth.With time though, by the grace of God, something re-opened when she was in her teenage years. The creative spirit of song began to move again and at the age of 16 she started to learn the guitar and write and record songs. Around 18 she discovered the sacred technology of Kundalini Yoga and a few years later the path of Sikh Dharma. This path was like the vessel that the soul had been longing for, to deliver the sound current that flows within. As a self- taught musician, the gift in Bachan's music is her simplicity, purity and devotion


Bachan Kaur is a visual artist, sacred musician and Teacher of Kundalini Yoga and meditation. As a child she could often be found drawing, singing or whirling in the backyard. It seems some things carry on throughout adulthood...
In her teens, Bachan put creativity in the background while she explored her love of the earth through environmental awareness and organic agriculture. However, her meditation practice eventually led her back to the path of the artist. She changed her degree from Agricultural Sciences and completed instead with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from UBC. She has held four painting exhibitions in British Columbia. Her love of Mother Earth still pervades her life as an artist in the production choices she makes. Her cds are printed on 100% recycled cardstock with no jewel cases(though she encourages downloads which create no waste) and is continually finding ways to reproduce art prints and cards on recylced paper.

Born in Guelph, Ontario, Madeleine kept her eyes closed for two weeks. Not being sure about coming down to earth, has been a theme in her life and art. However, after moving to Vancouver with her family in 1999, she began to practice Kundalini Yoga for which she is so grateful. This practice has helped to teach her balance between the heavens and the earth and is the inspiration for much of her work. She is now known to most people as Bachan Kaur which is her destiny name given byher spiritual Teacher Yogi Bhajan , meaning princess of promise. Along with the practice of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, came an ever growing love for music, singing and chanting. Bachan found a new medium for her creativity, deep devotion and love of life...sound! She frequently leads groups in chanting and devotional music and enjoys working with multi-faith groups. She has released 4 self-produced mantra/ meditation Cds . She is continually working on new arrangements and recordings and has 3 new cds that she is working on. Her vision is to one day help lead an "Amazing Aquarian Gospel Choir" creating unique and inspiring devotional choral music that blends people of diverse paths together through the power of sound.

Along the way she met her beloved husband Rama Singh, who funnily enough is from Guelph as well (though they met in New Mexico at a Kundalini Yoga festival!) They were married in August 2006 and have recently moved to the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia. They are both very grateful to be living in the embrace of nature which supports their work, her as an artist and he as an eco-home builder. They continue to teach Kundalini Yoga and are part of a community whichis developing a sacred healing and meditation centre on the Sunshinecoast. They are excited to create a family in the future.
