SACRED KISS

Awakening the Spirit Within

SACRED KISS has been a work of devotion for me to share my amazing spiritual journey of the past 40 years.

I was searching, and when I was led to my first Kundalini Yoga class, it was like being given a map to navigate my life. Then I met Yogi Bhajan, who took me unconditionally as a daughter and a student. His lessons showed me how to "keep up" with grace. They became the gift of my toolbox of experiences for what works in this age: Kundalini Yoga and the shabds of my Guru, Siri Guru Granth Sahib.

Thus, this SACRED KISS compilation is your box of spiritual chocolates to carry you to your own divine mastery and true happiness.

"If you want to talk to God, the way is to speak through music."
- Yogi Bhajan

Notes of Gratitude:

The creation of this CD would not have been possible without the wonderful people who have supported the project.

I am grateful to God and Guru for gifting me with my Saturn teacher, Yogi Bhajan, who taught me to face all challenges and to KEEP UP as he believed in me and my SACRED KISS.

My father, Milton Goldstein and Bubee, Lillian have been so supportive in moments when I thought there was no support. You are both the best of what humans can be…and you smile.

Siri Vishnu Singh Khalsa, my dear husband, the man of caliber promised to me by Yogi ji. His excellence, steadiness, vision and fun-loving nature have made all these CD’s possible.

What a great gift to work together with Thomas. He is truly kind, and has the ability to reach to my gifts and embellish the deepest song of my soul. When he asks for the teachings, they come, and then he crafts them with a universal eloquence.

Another angel of light for me is Ashana Lobody, who keeps up through enormous hurdles and enthusiastically shows the way to a "class act."

am so grateful to Guru Ganesha ji for his readiness to give advice and guidance on this path of KIRTAN outreach. He is a smart man with a gift of communication.

My dear Snatam Kaur, who has become an inspiration for so many souls; in her quiet strength, beauty and grace I still see my "amazing niece" leading the pack.

And so much gratitude to my son, Gurumustuk Singh, his beautiful wife and my two grandchildren, for carrying on the mission of serving the future with grace.

Love to my son Dharam Singh Khalsa, who shares his music and downloads.

Lynn - Nirmalpreet Kaur and Girish, I am grateful to you for your encouragement, smiles and help navigating the world of music touring.

There are many more of you, and though not mentioned by name, you are in my prayers all Love in Divine.
