I've been singing for as long as I can remember. My journey with the sound current began many years ago and doesn't seem to have an end — instead it has become an infinite quest for the anahat, or unstruck sound.

As a student of sound for more than 20 years, I integrate the Naad into my music, teaching, and healing practices. I've studied with some of the great Sound practitioners in the West: David Hykes , Shanti Shivani , and Pandit Mukesh Desai and is also influenced by the the Shabd Guru — the sound current in the Sikh tradition.  My music focuses on using sound to move the body, the mind and the breath toward powerful transformative experiences that uplift the individual and serve the soul.

I'm a writer, editor, poet, singer and songwriter — and a pretty good cook too — and the former Editor and Creative Director of the Kundalini Research Institute . I have four albums of sacred music: Nectar of the Name , Beautiful Day , Queen Be , and Love and Other Miracles , and am currently working on a fifth — One . I also authored Everyday Grace: The Art of Being a Woman , an introduction to women's teachings of Yogi Bhajan .

I live in Española, New Mexico with my husband, Abhai Raj, and our lovely pets Fatty, Slim, and Vinnie.

Mata Mandir Singh has dedicated his life to the practice and teaching of Naad Yoga – the yoga of sound. A skilful guitar, mandolin and cittern player, he is a pioneer of the yoga music genre, having recorded more than 28 CDs and cassette tapes since the late 1970’s.

Mata Mandir pours devotion into each note that he sings. His gentle voice creates a sacred atmosphere for healing and connectedness, helping students calm their minds and open their hearts. His Sikh-inspired mantras invite listeners to have a personal experience of the Divine.

A longtime student of Kundalini Yoga Master Yogi Bhajan, Mata Mandir learned early on about the power of the sound current for elevation. “Yogiji told me a long time ago that if you play any instrument in a rhythmic pattern, that will put you into harmony with the whole universe,” he says. Inspired by Yogi Bhajan’s life-changing teachings, Mata Mandir then embarked on a journey of helping others come in tune with the rhythm of the universe. “Everything has a frequency and vibration, everything has its own song,” he says. “When you tune in to sounds of the world, like the sound of your breath or your heartbeat, for example, the world becomes different. You create a new intelligence in your life and you begin to see rhythm where before you only saw chaos.”
