The Studio where I teach yoga from is called “Prema”.

Prema is a Sanskrit word which means “Love”.

The wiktionary from Transwiki describes it as follows:

Holy and pure love, devoid of egoism. It flows from the Anahata chakra.

Shanti Shanti Shanti

Sat Nam Wahe Guru Everyone.

I thought I would give a short translation of the words “Wahe Guru”:

Waheguru (Punjabi: ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ, vāhigurū or ਵਾਹਗੁਰੂ, vāhgurū; also transliterated Vahiguru) It is the term most often used in Sikhism to refer to God, the Supreme Being or the creator of all. It means “The Wonderful Teacher” in the Punjabi language. ‘Wah’ translates to wonder and Guru (Sanskrit: गुरु), is a term denoting ‘teacher’.

Above translation from the follwing wiki:

Sat Nam Wahe Guru

Welcome to my blog, Sat Nam Wahe Guru. I will be adding posts talking about Kundalini and Hatha Yoga. My website has been updated and I will add this blog to the site.  Please fell free to leave any comments.

I would like to start with a brief explanation of the words “Sat Nam”:

Satnam (Gurmukhī script: ਸਤਿਨਾਮੁ) is a title given to God Almighty. It was first used in Vaishnava context. Kabir composed the word Satnam from “Satya” (True) and “Naam” (Name).Tulsidas (writer of the Ghata Ramayana) writes, “Saint Tulsidas states that the Satnam is superior both to Brahm and Ram.”

It is the first word that appears in the Sikh sacred scripture called the Guru Granth Sahib. It is part of the Gurbani shabad called Mool Mantra which is repeated daily by all Sikhs. This word succeeds the word “Ek-onkar” which means “There is only One God”. The word “Satnam” means that “God’s Name is Truth”.

A Gursikh (or Guru’s Sikh) is one who follows the Sikh Guru’s teachings only. The Word Satnam has profound and blissful understanding for a Gursikh. A Gursikh would research and find the truth about Satnam by praying to the Guru for guidance as enshrines and illuminates the Guru Granth Sahib.

This brief explanation was from a wiki at the following address http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satnam

Hope everyone has a Peaceful Easter and I will see you next week.

Love
