Guru Singh
guru singh-2BIO:
Dr. Guru Singh DD, MSS is a yogi and teacher, a musician, composer, and author; he is a Minister of Sikh Dharma with a Doctoral of Divinity, Guru Singh teaches throughout the world (with a base in Los Angeles, Seattle, and India) with his wife Guruperkarma Kaur.

Members of Guru Singh’s family bloodline lived in India in the early 20th Century. His Great-Aunt met Paramahansa Yogananda — the first Yogi to teach in America — in Calcutta in 1916. Guru Singh was born in Seattle in 1945 into this yogic — spiritual household. His father, a fine artist, was the son of an original member of Christian Science. His Mother, a musician, was a student of the mysticism of India and Tibet. In January of 1969, Guru Singh (then 23) met and began a 35 year daily practice with the master of Kundalini Yoga — Yogi Bhajan. Guru Singh began accompanying Yogi Bhajan as he taught at Universities, lecture halls, spiritual centers and Sikh Gurudwaras around the world.

Guru Singh also studied music from the age of five and while later attending the University of Washington he began performing as a singer songwriter in local clubs. In early 1966 Warner Bros. Records heard his music, which was focused on peace in a time of war and the challenges of honoring real life — much like today — in a time of superficiality. They immediately signed him to a recording contract and moved him to San Francisco. In late 1967, Guru Singh shifted focus, moving from San Francisco to southern Mexico where he spent the next year training with maraakame masters (shaman) in an ancient form of musical healing. This took place in a mountainous community isolated from the outside world.

Today he employs healing music in all his teaching. He has recorded many albums/CD’s of mantras and spiritual songs — one – A Game of Chants with his friend and Grammy winner Seal and another – Chantz 2 iMPAct Earth with the students from his school (MPA) in India.

Guru Singh works with clients in Los Angeles. His counseling practice restores the natural human physical, mental and emotional harmonies through meditating with applied sound. Using an extensive background in music, Guru Singh worked with what he learned in Mexico and Sahaj Shabd Therapy taught to him by Yogi Bhajan. With these he developed a modern version of ancient transformational sciences.

There are many projects on the current horizon — more work with the Dalai Lama and the Seeds of Compassion campaign; an extensive medical study on meditation & prayer and the brain with Dr. Andrew Newberg of the University of Pennsylvania School of Neuro-medicine.
