What people are saying about this course:
“This course has shone a new light and enabled me to reflect and visualize Gurbani in a more searching manner. To be able to see and hear Gurmukhs share their wisdom has been an exhilarating experience. I am going to participate and practice Gurbani in a totally different way, and what is more, it makes me feel so happy and relaxed.” - Sukhdev Singh
“Thank you for this wonderfully designed course. I am learning more and more to rely on myself and trust Guru. To hand over to Him the good and the bad, and also to free myself of judgement for doing a “not enough” or “good enough” sadhana. I am grateful for the honest and open sharing of the teachers. Wahe Guru” - Siri Kirpal Kaur
