SiriKartar Kaur (Italy) – commenced her journey to the heart of Sikh Dharma in 1978, in Rome, Italy, initially being exposed to the Dharma as a Kundalini Yoga student. Soon thereafter, she found her soul being drawn towards the study and practice of the Sikh martial art form known as Gatka. Since then, she has earned great renown in sharing this precious spiritual practice with the entire world, including the Punjabi Sikh community. In the last few years, SiriKartar has begun teaching Gatka online to a worldwide audience.
SiriKartar is a renowned artist as well, whose inspiring artwork has touched many lives. Of particular interest to the Sikh Dharma community is her work displayed at the Guru Ram Das Ashram in Los Angeles, where one will find hanging four monumental paintings depicting the first four Gurus. Two of her most beloved panels there showcase the “Gathering of Khalsa” and the “Amrit Sanchar Ceremony.”
SiriKartar is also beloved for the divine music that channels through her, much of it in honor of our beloved 10th Master, Guru Gobind Singh.
More recently, SiriKartar has been one of the founding members of KHALSA SOCIETY, a conscious effort to model and promote the Khalsa ideal, as created by Guru Gobind Singh, and to organically build a community who share that intention.
After 33 years of living as part of the Sangat in Los Angeles, in 2021 SiriKartar returned to her homeland of Italy, from which she continues her own spiritual journey, as well as her service to humanity.
