| Who is Guru
Nanak? 500 years ago, a beautiful man of universal consciousness, named Guru Nanak, dedicated his life to helping people to liberate themselves from the bondage of ego and tyranny. Guru Nanak went into a state of Samadhi (oneness with the universe and all of creation) for three days. At the moment of emerging, his first words were, "Ek Ong Kaar" (We are One with God) – the first line of Japji. He delivered universal teachings to the world. These teachings are available to anyone regardless of race, creed, religion, cast, or social status. |

Do I have to be a Sikh to practice
Sikh Dharma technologies? "Occasionally a new teacher may hesitate because they think that a particular mantra or sound comes from a "religion." The Gurus received in an enlightened state of consciousness techniques that serve as a gift of transformation to all people who use it… It is the heritage of humankind… and a perfect tool because it comes through a completely clear mind, and every feeling, movement and rhythm is imprinted with the signature of the Infinite."
