SIngh Sahib Soul Singh Khalsa started his spiritual searching in earnest
in 1971.
“Sat Nam. I
would say my spiritual journey really began after a yoga class when
I was at school at Columbia. I came out into the night, breathing
the air like it was for the first time. That experience really pushed
me on.”
After
leaving college, he lived in a Christian
community in rural Georgia and then became involved with a Zen Buddhist
community in Massachusetts.
While
there, he began practicing kundalini
yoga, eventually meeting his spiritual teacher, Yogi
Bhajan. Those experiences crystallized his searching and he committed
himself to that yogic discipline and took on the path of a Sikh.
He went from being Steve Saul Singer to Soul Singh Khalsa.
So, for the last thirty-odd years he has risen around 3 AM to chant,
pray and practice yoga with others from his spiritual community in
a practice called "sadhana".
“Sadhana is the best part of my day. I get up and walk over
to the ashram across the street from us. Outside I walk over the grass,
feeling Mother Earth under my bare feet. Then I go in and join the
practice. It’s wonderful!”
During these years, he got married, received a Masters in counseling,
and had already opened up a business using his training when two large
vibrating feet got in the way.
They
belonged to his teacher who was lying
in a Lazy Boy when Soul saw him one day in Tucson. “Soul!”
he called out in his booming voice. “Your destiny is to interpret
the soul,” of the spiritual path.
Once again, his life changed. He soon left the business world and
began teaching college English, all the while writing and rewriting.
Many years and redrafts later, the first three books of the Hennesy
saga are done. (The first is available now, the others to follow.)
“Myths are what unite the visible and invisible worlds,”
notes Soul. “We need these stories to unite the seen and unseen
within us all.”
From all that churning, here is a story unlike anything else in today's
fiction, which will energize your imagination and strengthen your
spirit. --
