The Long Akaal Akaal Akaal (Undying)
The Long Akaal is chanted upon the death of anyone, friend, beloved, or friend of a friend. It helps the Soul leave the Earth and head for the light. It will also help any soul that is ready to go. And, I like that and I think of that when I am chanting it. That all Souls that hear the words are taken to the light, the Source of All there is. The chanting of the Akal farewell raises the vibration and light to aid in the transition. I recorded the chant this summer for my young friend Forest Raven when she died. In fact, Forest insisted I get off my butt and record it for her moms. My friend Kim Rushing died on Saturday, and I am chanting it for her, and added some images in support of the journey to the Infinite, Undying. ~ Selah Martha
This powerful chant can be used anytime a loved one passes to honor their spirit and help them 'cross into the blue ethers', as it is known in the Kundalini yoga tradition, essentially helping the soul move on to another dimension of life. This amazing chant, sung by Snatam Kaur at Sat Nam Fest East 2013, was sung in honor of Holy Kaur, a long-time member of the Kundalini yoga community. Spirit Voyage released this video on the 10th Anniversary of the passing of Yogi Bhajan, the master of Kundalini yoga. ~ Snatam Kaur
