"A Master's
Request" Is a gem that
not only includes the beautiful
and healing musical tribute to Yogi Bhajan, but also includes
two chants for yoga and meditation.
During the autumn of 1999, in one of Yogi
Bhajan's meditation classes in Española New Mexico, he
requested that "A Master's Request" be written. He
requested that it include the verse "Don't cry for me children
of Sikh Dharma", and that it be written in the past tense
as if he had already passed. Importantly, he wanted the song
to be uplifting and celebrate his life, not mourn his death.
When the new song was played for him, his words were, "It's
perfect, don't change a thing." It is with humility and
immense gratitude to the life of the Siri Singh Sahib Harbhajan
Singh Khalsa Yogiji (Yogi Bhajan) that we present this song and
soothing mantras.
Sat Siree, Siree Akaal,
Siree Akaal, Maahaa Akaal, Maahaa Akaal, Sat Naam, Akaal Moort,
Wha-hay Guroo. Translation: Great Truth, Respected
Undying, Respected Undying, Great beyond Death, Great beyond
Death, Truth Identified, Deathless Image of God. Great Beyond
Words is this Wisdom. Yogi Bhajan has called this the Mantra
for the Aquarian Age. With it, we declare that we are
timeless, deathless beings. Everything we do is from the timeless
space of the soul. Guru Guru Wahe Guru (Guru Mantra of
Guru Ram Das) Guroo Guroo Wha-hay Guroo Guroo Ram Das Guroo.
Translation: Dispeller of Darkness. Infinite Wisdom. Wise
is the one who serves Infinity. This is a mantra of humility,
relaxation, self-healing, and emotional relief. It calls on the
spirit of humility and grace of the realm of Guru Ram Das, with
its spiritual guiding light and protective grace. It reconnects
the experience of infinity to the finite, and therefore rescues
you in the midst of trial and danger. Yogi Bhajan called this
his personal Mantra.
