In this conversation, Mata Mandir Singh Khalsa, musician, Naad Yoga teacher, and long-time Kundalini Yoga practitioner, shares the profound science of sound and its power to transform body, mind, and spirit.
He recalls his early years of study and teaching, the discovery that sound could heal, and his personal experience using mantra, fasting, and meditation to restore health. We explore how chanting influences the vagus nerve and brain chemistry, why the human voice is the most powerful healing instrument, and how simple sounds like Sa and Om can elevate our frequency and bring peace.
Mata Mandir also discusses his new book Naad Yoga: The Yoga of Sound, a culmination of five decades of practice, and reflects on the future of Kundalini Yoga and preventative health. A conversation that blends wisdom, science, and song, closing with live demonstrations of Sa and Om.

A pioneer of Naad Yoga and sacred music, Mata Mandir Singh Khalsa has been teaching and recording Kundalini Yoga mantras for over fifty years. His work bridges ancient yogic sound science and modern understanding of frequency, resonance, and healing.
In this conversation, Japjeet Kaur Khalsa shares how she was called to Kundalini Yoga, why authentic markers like bana, daily sadhana, and tuning in to lineage mattered from her very first class, and how the Miri–Piri principle, spiritual and worldly balance, is woven into school life. We explore MPA’s Continuing Education programmes for alumni and adults, the transformational 40-day seva at the Golden Temple, and the power of learning by transmission, teens absorbing what adults actually live.
She offers practical guidance for parents (devices, leading by example), for teachers (short, fun kriyas; breath-based options; Celestial Communication), and for new families navigating the sacred first 40 days after birth. Along the way: confidence, independence, real friendships, travel across India, and why you only need “the next few metres” of the road.

Born in Vancouver, Japjeet Kaur Khalsa is the Head of School at Miri Piri Academy (Amritsar). For eight years, she’s led an integrated programme of academics, residential life, and spiritual practice, where days begin in sadhana and flow into study, seva, sport, and sangat.
Born in Hamburg to a Taiwanese mother and German father, Hansu Jot was introduced to mantra as a child through his mother’s Buddhist practice. Years later, a single Har Har meditation opened the doorway to Kundalini Yoga — a practice that brought the depth and transformation he had been seeking.
In this conversation, Hansu Jot shares how Naad, the universal sound current, became the foundation of his spiritual and creative path. He reflects on the art of composing as a channelled process, the balance between devotion and daily life, and how fatherhood has deepened his relationship with sound, presence, and purpose.
About Hansu Jot
Hansu Jot is a Kundalini Yoga Teacher Trainer, Zero-Point Healer and devotional music artist. Acknowledging life as a dance between polarities with its source in stillness, Hansu Jot facilitates immersive sacred sound events, trainings and workshops that help people reconnect to their inner truth and remember their soul’s unique blueprint of expression.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mukta Kaur Khalsa, counselling psychologist and Director of SuperHealth, to explore how Kundalini Yoga and conscious living can help us find equilibrium in a world of overload.
From her first class with Yogi Bhajan in 1970s Los Angeles to her decades of work in addiction recovery, Mukta shares how awareness, breath, and nervous-system care can transform emotional pain into resilience. We discuss stress, parenting in the digital age, the loneliness epidemic, and why self-discipline and compassion go hand in hand.
About Dr Mukta Kaur Khalsa
Dr Mukta Kaur Khalsa (PhD) is a counselling psychologist specialising in addiction, alcohol and drug recovery, and mental health. As Director of SuperHealth, she combines modern counselling with Kundalini Yoga and holistic nutrition to help people regain physical, mental, and spiritual balance.
Dr. Sat Bir Singh Khalsa has practised Kundalini Yoga since 1971 and pioneered biomedical research on yoga for insomnia, PTSD, anxiety disorders, performance anxiety, schools and workplaces. In this conversation, he shares how to speak about yoga in scientific language (stress regulation, autonomic nervous system, HPA axis, mindfulness) so it lands with CEOs, clinicians, and the public, without losing its yogic heart.
We cover evidence-based kundalini protocols (e.g., Shabad Kriya for sleep, Kirtan Kriya for cognition), how to bring yoga into schools and workplaces, why research motivates practice, and essential safety for teaching general classes vs. patients.
Kundalini Yoga met Siri Sadhana Kaur at exactly the right moment — and it “married all her worlds”: embodiment, mantra, and music. In this conversation, the UK-based teacher, trainer and musician shares how chanting dissolves the noise of the mind, connects us to Naad (the sound current), and brings peace home.
We explore Japji Sahib, the shift from performer to authentic mantra voice, discernment and boundaries in spiritual life, and the stillness found in the desert. Siri Sadhana’s journey is a reminder that when we sing, listen, and let the heart lead, everything changes.
