Explore the Spiritual Warrior’s Journey tracing the steps of Guru Gobind Singh, Guru Hargobind and Baba Deep Singh, as we reflect on the threefold path of the warrior through Amritsar, Anandpur Sahib, and Takht Damdama Sahib
COURSE OVERVIEW
This 10-day immersive journey through key historical places in Punjab brings to life the radiance and depth of the Warrior Saint tradition of Sikh Dharma. Guided by experienced teachers of Miri Piri Academy, participants will travel through sacred landscapes of Amritsar, Anandpur Sahib, and Takht Damdama Sahib, tracing the footsteps of Guru Hargobind Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Baba Deep Singh Ji, and the saint-scholars who embodied both spiritual devotion and fearless action.
Through daily Kundalini Yoga, mantra, Gurbani study, meditation, music, seva, and storytelling, you will experience the two swords of Miri and Piri—the balance between worldly strength and divine consciousness.
Open to seekers of all backgrounds, this course offers both spiritual awakening and practical discipline rooted in the living legacy of the Khalsa. Through a combination of lectures, visits to historical Gurdwaras, and immersive meditative experiences, participants gain a deeper understanding of Sikh philosophy and practice.
Alongside this profound learning, the course offers the warmth of community, nourishing food, and the company of the international Sangat, creating an enriching and unforgettable journey of spiritual growth and discovery.
“Sant sipahi, saint and soldier is that person who will recognize the Creator is the cause of this creation. And he is doubtless about it, he knows and knowingly knows beyond doubt, in every moment of his life and that is very important. It is important for some of us to realize love in reality.”
– Siri Singh Sahib

LOCATIONS
Amritsar – Anandpur Sahib – Damdama Sahib – Sri Muktsar Sahib
Amritsar, the “Pool of Nectar”: A city intricately woven around the Sacred Pool of Nectar at the heart of the Harimandir Sahib (The Golden Temple), stands as a testament to spiritual richness. Established by Guru Ram Das, it is often referred to as “Sach Khand” or the Realm of Truth, representing the highest blue ether or heaven. Amritsar is not only home to this spiritual marvel but also hosts Miri Piri Academy, the sanctuary of the global Kundalini Yoga community established by the visionary Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan in the 1990s.
Anandpur Sahib, the “City of Bliss” : Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Anandpur Sahib is a city steeped in spiritual significance. It was established by Guru Tegh Bahadur and the Birthplace of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh. The city is graced by the presence of the Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, one of the five temporal seats of authority in Sikhism. The many historic gurdwaras are not just architectural marvels but embody the spirit of Sikhism. They stand as a testament to the courage, sacrifice, and devotion of the Sikh spirit.
Takht Damdama Sahib, one can feel the stillness of Guru Gobind Singh ji as he dictated the final version of the Guru Granth Sahib to Bhai Mani Singh and bestowed it with eternal Guruship. One of the five Takhts of Sikh authority, Damdama means “breathing place“. Baba Deep Singh Ji studied here under the Guru and later founded the Damdami Taksal, a seat of Sikh learning. it was here that Mata Sundri Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji received the Guru’s letters and guidance for the community, continuing the lineage of the Khalsa with strength and grace.
Sri Muktsar Sahib, a revered site in Punjab, marks the place where forty liberated Sikhs, the Chali Mukte, attained spiritual freedom and martyrdom while fighting alongside Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1705. The Guru blessed them with liberation and declared the land sacred as Muktsar, the “Pool of Liberation.” Today, Gurdwara Sri Tibbi Sahib and Gurdwara Sri Rakab Ganj Sahib stand as living memorials of their courage and devotion, reminding every visitor of the timeless path of loyalty, forgiveness, and fearless faith.
