Event Information:
Guru Ram Das belonged to the house of Raj Yoga and he is the personal Guru of Yogi Bhajan. It is through his lineage that Kundalini Yoga comes to us. He was known for his neutral mind, his infinite compassion, humility and service. On October 9th, the birthday of Guru Ram Das, we will chant a special healing mantra for 2 ½ hours from 4:00am to 6:30am during our regular sadhana time. Believe it or not, this is a miracle mantra. Chant it 11 times and your prayers will be answered.
Yogi Bhajan gave us this special sadhana in honor of the birth of Guru Ram Das. This sadhana is a 2½ hour recitation of the complete Shabad (sacred song) of “Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru.” We practice this Shabad to ignite the power of our prayer. As Yogi Bhajan said, “Any move you make, you must pray because that ignites the power. Ignite the power and then go. Let God take care of it.” Guru Ram Das is the Lord of Miracles and so on this day pray for your miracle!

When we meditate on the Shabad, Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru, we are placing ourselves in the position of witnessing this miracle – of how the hand of the Divine arranged the affairs of a humble, bright and beautiful soul. We are calling on the Subtle and Radiant body of Guru Ram Das to bless us so that we can be part of that miracle. As Guru Ram Das was carried across his karmas to this destiny, so his blessing can touch us and carry us across, as well. This is the power of chanting Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru.

“When you pray on Guru Ram Das’s birthday
because he is the Lord of Miracles
he becomes compelled,
bound to honor your prayers.
Whether it is good or bad.
So be careful when you pray.”
- Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan Ji
