Spirit Voyage

Sikhism is one of the finest - and least known - spiritual practices around. This book explains the spiritual underpinnings of Sikh practice, including how Sikhs use sound to experience the Divine. You're a Kundalini Yoga student and wonder what the connection is between Sikhism and Kundalini Yoga. This book explains where the two disciplines meet, and where they differ. It also includes some Kundalini Yoga you can practice. You've seen Sikhs and wondered why they wear turbans and what they believe. This book explains what Sikhs practice, how they practice it and why. You were born a Sikh and wonder why anyone born to a majority faith would choose a religion that looks funny to everyone else. This book tells stories of people who became Sikhs voluntarily, and why they did so.

Siri Kirpal Kaur Khalsa had an epiphany one evening as she crossed the dining room at age 7: she would write illustrated books when she grew up. What to write was the question.

Before the answer came to her, she married in 1972, had a brief career as a folksinger, finished her BA in Art at Marylhurst College (now University) in 1982, began practicing Kundalini Yoga and meditation in 1983, and became a Sikh in 1986. The last two in that list provided the material for her books Yoga for Prosperity and Sikh Spiritual Practice.

She has founded an interfaith organization, spoken on televised interfaith panels and taught Kundalini Yoga to convicted felons. She lives in Eugene, Oregon, with her non-Sikh husband.
