Don’t Cry for Me Children of Sikh Dharma - SSS Yogi Bhajan
Several years ago, during one of the Siri Singh Sahib Ji’s classes in Espanola, he requested that this song be written.
He asked the song celebrate his life, not mourn his death.
His intention was that we be comforted, uplifted and joyful with his passing
and that his life, our mission and our future be celebrated.
When we played the song for him, his words were “It’s perfect. Don’t change a thing.”
Humbly, Dev Suroop Kaur
Who was this man called Yogi Bhajan
Who came into our lives from ‘cross the sea?
A Father, A Teacher, A Master.
Servant for all humanity.
He came from the East just to teach us.
There is one God who dwells in all.
Happiness begins with commitment.
Fulfillment from answering the call.
He said, don’t cry for me Children of Sikh Dharma.
My love for you will live eternally.
Keep walking with your grace and strength and courage.
Chant the name and set your spirit free.
Chant the name and serve humanity.
In sandals in the snow drifts of Toronto.
His mission began so humbly.
Touching the hearts of the hopeless.
He helped them regain their dignity.
Through every trial he kept on winning.
To show us that we could do it too.
With kindness, compassion, with laughter.
He said royal courage will see us through.
Don’t cry for me Children of Sikh Dharma.
My love for you will live eternally.
Keep smiling with your grace and strength and courage.
Chant the name and set your spirit free.
Chant the name and serve humanity.
He sculpted every being with precision.
No matter what their status or their state.
Poking, provoking, confronting.
His only purpose to elevate.
He gave us our home as a temple.
Our marriage as a path to One.
Our wealth as a way to serve our neighbor,
Our future through our daughters and our sons.
Don’t cry for me Children of Sikh Dharma.
My love for you will live eternally.
Keep singing with your grace and strength and courage.
Chant the Name and set your spirit free.
Chant the Name and serve humanity.
Don’t cry for me, you are Sikh Dharma,
Let your love live eternally.
Keep walking with your grace and strength and courage.
Chant the Name and set your spirit free.
Chant the Name and serve humanity.
960 million we will be.
