Alleluia – Wahe Guru

I wrote this on my last birthday, December 21, 2007, and it had its first public offering during an early  morning sadhana in the  Gurdwara of the Sikh Community in Espanola, New Mexico. I dedicate this with love, affection and enormous gratitude to the two spiritual communities in my life that have held and supported over the years.  The Celebration of Santa Fe and the Sangaat of the Kundalini Yoga Community in Espanola, New Mexico.

“Alleluia” is a word used in both Jewish and Christian traditions to express praise, joy and thanks to the Divine. Wahe Guru! is the primary mantra of the Sikh religion, and means “Wonderful Lord!” Yogi Bhajan, who brought Kundalini Yoga and Sikhism to the West, translated it even more deliciously as “Indescribable Ecstasy!”
