This Saturday Shanti Kaur Khalsa from Espanola, New Mexico came to MPA and gave a yoga class. She spoke a lot about Guru Gobind Singh, his life, his teachings and the technology he gave us. We learned that although mostly people know the tenth guru as the great warrior he was, he was also a [...]
I love going to the Golden Temple early in the morning. You see how the temple changes color as the sun begins to rise. You get there and its all dark and maybe you do a meditation or walk around the Parkarma, and suddenly you notice that the sun is rising and it reflects off [...]
Every year our students compete for top Yogi and house points. Their daily Kundalini Yoga practice is put to the test with contests in Stretch pose, Archer Pose, Sarbandande Kriya and others. Students practice for months to increase their skills and focus.

At one time, the Miri Piri Academy student body was made up almost exclusively of students from the United States. However, as the teachings of the Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan spread worldwide, our student body has grown ever more diverse. In the 2009-10 school year, less than half the students were US citizens. Where two years ago 40% of our student body needed Financial Aid, this past year more than 60% of our students applied.
Following the example of the Siri Singh Sahib, we do not want to turn away anyone who comes to the school with folded hands and longing in their hearts. These children will grow in the teachings and then graduate and share them with thousands of others around the world. They are truly the future leaders, teachers and healers. We cannot turn them away. We hope that you will support our Financial Aid Fund with a generous donation.
Our goal is to raise $250,000 by August 1st, 2010.
If you have any questions about our development or fundraising plans, please do not hesitate to contact us at donations@miripiriacademy.org
