I have found that inside there is nothing but One<br />

God and Its light which keeps me alive. It is the<br />

breath of life which is most valuable, and it is the<br />

spirit which brings the breath of life.<br />

Yogi Bhajan<br />

<br />

At <strong>Miri</strong> <strong>Piri</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>, spiritual education and practice are a fundamental part of the daily life of the students. Based<br />

upon the teachings of the Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan, our curriculum integrates the practice of <strong>Kundalini</strong> <strong>Yoga</strong> and<br />

the Sikh lifestyle. Regular spiritual education and practice includes:<br />

Bana<br />

Seva<br />

• Morning Sadhana<br />

• Recitation of Banis<br />

• <strong>Kundalini</strong> <strong>Yoga</strong> Classes<br />

• Weekly trips to the Golden Temple<br />

• Gurbani Kirtan<br />

Bana is the traditional Sikh attire, and our school uniform adopts this technology to enhance each<br />

student’s presence and projection. While at <strong>Miri</strong> <strong>Piri</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>, students live the Yogic lifestyle,<br />

keeping their hair uncut and tied in a turban to enhance their mental focus and energy.<br />

Seva, or selfless service, is a cornerstone of spiritual development. At <strong>Miri</strong> <strong>Piri</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> students<br />

develop compassion and humility through regular participation in seva projects.<br />

Some examples are:<br />
