同修和免費社區廚房 ( Sangat and Pangat )



Sangat(同修)和Pangat(免費社區廚房)是Yogi Bhajan與學生分享的美好經歷。



*Soorya Kaur( Yogi Bhajan的工作人員 )在她 2005 年寫的《YogiJi – 我們的靈魂之光 》一書的第 35 頁分享了這張圖片和文字。 



大多數的晚上,無論發生什麼,Yogiji 都不會漏教一節課,當他教完課後,他都會邀請他的幾個學生和他坐下來吃飯。 他相信同修,或群體意識,以及Pangat(免費社區廚房),每個人都平等地坐著。 通常,這些會變成一種諮詢會議。 沒有什麼秘密。 他相信團體治療。 正當在為一個人提供諮詢時,也同樣地為小組中的每個人提供了諮詢。




Soorya Kaur 的祝福


我想感謝神賜予我很多很多的祝福,特別是感謝我的好朋友 Neesha Singh。 如果沒有她的編輯和寫作技巧,以及與生俱來的攝影覺察,我永遠不會完成這本書。 我們建立了一種夥伴關係,在極短的時間內使這本書成為現實。 


當我在研究這本書要怎麼寫的時,我的照片(我總是試圖讓他為我微笑)讓我在這裡與你分享這些親密的回憶,開啟了閘門。 如果我可以謙虛地說,我不認為這是「 我的書 」,因為 Guru Ram Das 和 Yogiji 看透了我,這本書有它自己的生命。 


很難決定是Guru Ram Das 接納了 Yogiji 還是 Yogiji 接納了 Guru Ram Das。 每天早上,當 Yogiji 在印度阿姆利則金廟進行 Seva(無私服務)清洗地板時,他都會聽到 Guru Ram Das 的 Bani(祈禱)。 在此期間,他被一次奇蹟式的靈性提升經歷所啟迪,他與Guru Ram Das的連結將永遠被封印。 Guru Ram Das 成為他和我們的贊助者古魯大師。 我們被教導要呼喚他來承擔我們的痛苦、解決我們的問題、在我們身邊,在需要時創造奇蹟,而古魯總是交付予我們。





Sangat and Pangat is a beautiful experience that Yogi Bhajan shared with his students *This image and words by Soorya Kaur (staff member of Yogi Bhajan) were shared on page 35 of her book,  YogiJi – The Light of Our Souls, written in 2005.

Most evenings after he taught class, and he never missed a class no matter what, Yogiji would invite several of his students to sit and have a meal with him.  He believed in Sangat, or group consciousness, and Pangat, where everyone sat in equality.  Very often these would become counselling sessions.  There were no secrets.  He believed in group therapy.  While counselling one, he would counsel everyone in the group.


Soorya Kaur and her Inspiration

I wish to thank God for many, many blessings, but in particular, for my good friend Neesha Singh.  I could never have done this book without her editing and writing skills, and innate sense for photography.  We forged a partnership that made this book a reality in an extremely short period of time.

While I was working on the idea of this book, my pictures (I always attempted to make him smile for me) opened a floodgate of the intimate memories that I share here with you.  If I may humbly say this, I don’t think of this as “my book”. Because Guru Ram Das and Yogiji saw me through it, and it took on a life of its own.

It is difficult to decide whether Guru Ram Das adopted Yogiji or Yogiji adopted Guru Ram Das.  Every morning he performed Seva (selfless service) washing the floors of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India. Yogiji heard Guru Ram Das’ Bani (prayers).  During this period, he was enlightened by a miraculous spiritually elevating experience. He and his bond with Guru Ram Das was sealed forever.  Guru Ram Das became his and our patron Guru.  We learn to call upon him to take our pain, to sort out our problems, to be there for us, to produce a miracle when needed, and he always delivered.
