MrSikhNet Video

Tonight I would like to share another new video by Sat Bir Singh, which is in memory of Yogi Bhajan, and was shown at the Birthday Party on Saturday. Sat Bir Singh also submitted the video into the SikhNet online Youth Film Festival along with his previous video "Priceless".

Here is another great intiative that I just found out about from a comment in my last post about kids and school. It was really cool watching the below video and seeing the kids from South Africa doing yoga and chanting "Waheguru". In the video at one part they are chanting "I am Happy, I am Good, SatNam, Satnam, Satnam ji, Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru ji". It just shows how the Guru can touch people in so many different ways, whether they are a Sikh or not. 

(Video background music, "Ang Sang Waheguru"...sung by the kids of Miri Piri Academy in Amritsar)

You can watch the video or download it below.

Beats and Breathing for Healing in Schools
A unique drumming and yoga initiative in South Africa

TWENTY THOUSAND DRUMS and LITTLE GURUS in partnership have created a BEATS AND BREATHING FOR HEALING initiative to implement in schools in South Africa.

Due to the present teaching situation, which is in a state of crisis, we are providing two experiential and participatory activities, which give children tools to help them develop self-confidence, self-respect, and self-discipline. Learners need to be exposed to various art forms in order to make informed choices, which in turn create changes in attitude and builds a more civil society.

You can read more about this initiative, see pictures, support them etc at their website: http://www.20000drums.org.za/bbh/index.htm

Well today (Aug 12) was Narayan’s 5th Birthday. He has been counting down the weeks/days; excited to be one year older (and of course getting birthday party and presents)! What kid doesn’t like to have a good party? As a surprise we got Narayan a huge trampoline for him to play on outside. He has so much energy and always wants to stay busy, so we have been trying to find things that he can do outside for fun. I don’t know about other places in the world…but in America kids love a good trampoline. I bought it the other day from the store and while Narayan slept over at a friend’s house I set it up. When he came back in the morning we blind folded him and showed him the surprise. The rest of the day the kids were jumping away. They had some good fun! Dharam (aka: bro) …you sure did beat me to the blog posts for Narayan’s Birthday….but hey…your in India! Watch the video if you can. Might be sketchy watching at the cybercafe in Amritsar. Anways…here is some video footage from earlier today (and pictures below). I had some computer/video problems so this took me MUCH longer than I had anticipated. Such is life with computers. Hopefully you enjoy it. It’s also got some little videos of Charanjeet Kaur too.

The topic of the video relates to experiences that you might have had that become major influencers in the direction of your life.

This is the last video from the recording session that I did with Guruka Singh back in June.
