Miri Piri Prosperity Testimonial
S.S. Shiva Singh & Shabd Kaur Khalsa
Chicago IL, U.S.A.
We began doing a 40-day "The Abundance Program," from Prosperity Paths #11 last fall for the first time, and we wanted to share our story with you. Since completing the first meditation, and the others we have since practiced, we have had many positive shifts, both personally and professionally.
We were always the type to see into the hearts of people and situations, and not the type to focus on the importance of material things. Over time, we ended up allowing the material to get out of focus. The meditation helped us transform our mind set to weave the temporal (miri) into the spiritual (piri), to see money as an important means to an end, not as the goal itself. We realized that we had been subconsciously avoiding making money the goal itself. We discovered that having money allowed us to serve others with more consistency and better responsiveness. We also realized that our entire relationship to prosperity and abundance was influenced by emotional limitations and that "deserving" is a necessary concept to accept or perhaps relearn. It was these prosperity meditations that brought forth the reality that it is God and Guru who are running the show.
A recent experience really brought home to us the beautiful flow of giving and receiving. We recently sponsored a kirtan at our Gurdwara in Chicago to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was the kind of event we hesitated to put together because it was a bit of a financial stretch. We did it and the results were, well frankly, miraculous. Several sangat members lovingly helped us prepare the langar. The kirtan program gathered Sikhs from every Gurdwara community in the Chicago area. Punjabi Sikh youths who have grown up in America were moved by our program, hearing for the first time Gurbani kirtan sung in original Gurmukhi and American English.
Also, many non-Sikh friends and family came to share in our celebration in our faith’s traditional sacred space, most of them for the first time. They loved it, and they really enjoyed the Bangara (dance) party we had later that evening. We felt SO blessed!
We attribute these joyful occasions and personal changes to the transformational power of the prosperity meditations we have incorporated into our evening prayer time. Since this first experience with prosperity meditations, we continue to do a new meditation every forty days. It’s as if something is missing when we don’t do it every day.
We have passed a lot of different techniques we gathered from Prosperity Paths on to our yoga students and several came back astonished with their own prosperity and abundance tales.
