Long before GuruGanesha Singh released his solo albums, he was the force behind many well known chant musicians, including Snatam Kaur, Thomas Barquee, and Mirabai and released several albums with other musicians including Game of Chants with Guru Singh and Grammy-Winning singer, Seal.
GuruGanesha Singh is also the original founder of the record label, Spirit Voyage Records, as well as the distribution company, Spirit Voyage Music.
GuruGanesha performs over a hundred musical performances per year, from the Bahamas to Singapore on the Celebrate Peace World Tour with Snatam Kaur, in addition to teaching yoga classes and prosperity workshops, and recording new music. In 2003, Karan Kahran Kaur Khalsa joined the Spirit Voyage team to focus on growth and expansion. He felt that the merging of devotion and chanting needed to find a much bigger place in the world, and he made it his mission to make an impact.
Can I handle the seasons of my life? The Jatha has had the privilege of singing Gurbani Kirtan in the Siri Harimandir Sahib ( the Golden Temple ) in Amritsar. He started the company “Spirit Voyage” to produce and distribute sacred spiritual music, including Sikh chants and shabads as well as devotional chants of other faiths and religious traditions.
GuruGanesha’s garage was the first warehouse for Spirit Voyage.
With the first launch of the Spirit Voyage website, sales began streaming in and the business soon outgrew his garage.
The Raj Khalsa Community
Chardi Kalaa Jatha
The Chardi Kala Jatha is a group of young American Sikhs who have been training in traditional Gurbani Kirtan in Amritsar, Punjab under their ‘Ustaad ji’, Narinder Singh Sandhu.
They perform at hundreds of venues each year throughout the US and the world.
The Spirit Voyage office is located in Purcellville, VA. Visit on-line at: www.spiritvoyage.com

During their summer breaks, the Jatha would visit him in New Mexico and would sit at his feet and learn. Can the child within my heart rise above? He founded both businesses with the intention of creating new avenues for spreading inspiring music to ever-widening audiences. We chant mantras so that our souls may be ignited like candles.
On many of the Siri Singh Sahib’s visits to India, the Jatha had the honor of serving as his security and hospitality detail as he traveled throughout India. They now travel throughout India and the world spreading the Guru’s teachings through playing Gurbani Kirtan and embodying the spirit and mission of the Gurus.
Spirit Voyage Music
The Raj Khalsa Sangat has been blessed with talented musicians since we joined together almost 40 years ago.
Yogi Bhajan encouraged us to learn kirtan and to practice “Naad Yoga”, the yoga of the sound current.
“We meditate so that our minds can be sharp and alert. His three solo releases of Sikh-inspired chant music enhanced by his virtuoso guitar work, Joy is Now, Pure Ganesh and Grateful Ganesh, are beloved by his fans world-wide.
We walk in the light of this beauty.” Yogi Bhajan
In 2000, GuruGanesha Singh Khalsa, one of our beloved Sangat members and a life-long musician himself decided to take his love of music and his understanding of the power of sacred chanting to a larger venue. The members of the jatha are: Sada Sat Simran Singh Khalsa, Jagat Guru Singh Khalsa and Harimandir Jot Singh Khalsa.
They have recorded two Gurbani Kirtan CDs with T-series recording studio, in New Delhi and two meditation CDs with Supertrack Studio in Ludhiana. Over the next two years, the business doubled each year and by 2004 she became the CEO. In 2005, Hargobind Singh Khalsa became a partner in the business, initially coming in to focus on growth and expansion, but ultimately taking on the reigns of running the entire distribution business.
Today, Spirit Voyage has expanded into three divisions:
- Spirit Voyage Live Events – which consists of GuruGanesha Singh, Snatam Kaur and the Celebrate Peace Tour.
Pure Ganesh put GuruGanesha Singh on the map as a solo musician, topping New Age charts in early 2007 and receiving high critical acclaim from magazine reviewers in both New Age and Yoga publications.
