Travel Light by Tarn Taran Singh -- featuring Guru Dass Singh

In Kundalini Yoga we understand that we expand our consciousness and grow in spiritual maturity through the process of: Poke Provoke Confront Uplift.

Life poked me hard in 2017 with the loss of two dear friends, Guru Dass Singh and Sada Sat Singh. At the same time I was turning 70 (how did that happen?) and retiring from role as the Executive Director of Teacher Training at KRI, and ending 47 years of institutional responsibility with our 3HO community.

This provoked in me many thoughts, feelings and emotions with the realization I am entering the final stages of this life’s journey, and writing these songs helped me reflect upon the memories of life lived, confront the reality of death coming and bring me back to living fully and gratefully in the here and now.

If it all starts to get a little too melancholy for you, hold on, upliftment is coming with an Italian inspired update of Ardas Bhaee and then a new composition, “I Know the Unknown” with a lighter perspective that I think both Guru Dass Singh and Sada Sat Singh would have appreciated. It all ends with mantra Dharti Hai, which connects the ever-changing realm on the earthly Tatwas with the eternal realms of the heavens in this moment, appreciating and serving the here and now. And finally, with that wonderful advice from Yogi Bhajan to “Travel Light, Live Light, Spread the Light, Be the Light”.

I have a tremendous gratitude to my musical partner of almost 20 years, Saribjit Singh. We recorded this in his home studio in Infernetto (“Little Hell”) outside Rome, where he did all the engineering and mixing, as well playing multiple instruments. To Saravtar, whose beautiful voice and spirit has graced almost all of my CD’s. To all of the incredible musicians who graciously shared their talent and inspiration. And finally my dear Italian sister in the divine, Haribhajan Kaur, who is always in the background, making sure I am well cared for during my Roman stays.

I share this music with you, with the hope that my heart may touch your heart and the prayer that the light your Soul may shine brightly in the night sky.

It is to the memory and undying spirit of two bright souls, Guru Dass Singh and Sada Sat Singh, that this CD is dedicated.
