Graduation 2010 We were honored to share one last special occasion with the Class of 2010. Each came to Miri Piri Academy for their own reasons, and each graduated with a much better understanding of themselves. In the words of Guru Amrit Hari Kaur Khalsa, this years recipient of our annual Siri Singh Sahib Award [...]
The Law of the Universe Obey, Serve, Love, Excel. Yogi Harbhajan Singh Khalsa referred to that formula as the Law of the Universe. As Shiv Charan Singh Khalsa explains it: “To obey is like following the call of the river to reach the ocean. Even when the power of the flow gets deeper and wider [...]
Introducing Your Child to Meditation: Long Deep Breathing It’s not always easy to inspire a child to sit and meditate for any meaningful length of time, but it is a skill that will serve them for life. A simple place to begin is Long Deep Breathing. Children as young as three can learn to take [...]
Spring Break in Rishikesh… Again! Ad Such Kaur, Grade 11 If anyone asked me what my favorite place in India was, I’d say Rishikesh, the town we go to every spring break. It’s the perfect place to have a break: good food, warm sandy beaches, and great hippie shopping. Being a very touristy town, it [...]
A Letter from our Board Chairperson Singh Sahib Deva Singh Khalsa Dear Parents and Sat Nam to all, This school year is more than half way over already, and it seems like it just started a month or two ago. I am writing to update you on recent events at Miri Piri Academy, as there [...]

"Blessed are those hands that help others. Blessed is the head that prays for others. Blessed are the beings who are conscious, intuitive, shining and serviceful to all. May happiness be your birthright and may you earn it through your virtue. May you share peace with all in the Name of the One who created you. Sat Nam."
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
