Snatam Kaur

Snatam Kaur, an American singer and songwriter born in 1972, was raised with yoga and meditation as a daily practice as taught by Yogi Bhajan. She received musical training all throughout school in violin, voice, and percussion. Upon graduating high school she lived in India and studied with masters of the Sikh traditional style of music called Gurbani Kirtan. With her meditative practice and musical training she combined these two streams of disciplines into creating devotional music.

This recording is pure bliss.



Ek Ong Kar
One Creator, Creation

Sat Nam
Truth is God's Name

Kartaa Purkh
Doer of everything

Nirbhao
Fearless

Nirvair
Revengeless

Akaal Moorat
Undying

Ajoonee
Unborn

Saibhang
Self Illumined

Gur Prasaad
It is by Guru's Grace

Jap
Repeat and Meditate!

Aad Sach
True in the beginning

Jugaad Sach
True through all the ages

Hai Bhee Sach
True even now

Nanak Hosee Bhee Sach
Nanak says Truth shall ever be.



As a child, Snatam also had training in voice, violin, guitar, and percussion. She obtained a solid foundation in Western classical music while playing violin in an orchestra and giving solo performances. Her many opportunities to use and expand her musical talent in a spiritual setting emphasized for her the connection between her music and spirituality. "I learned about the importance of sound currents from Yogi Bhajan," she says, "but I also had the personal experience of how the energy of these sacred words can have a very real, positive effect."
