== About Miri Piri Academy == Miri Piri Academy is a private boarding school located in Amritsar, Punjab, India. It has an international cow student body, with children from more than 20 countries around the world. Founded in 1997 by Yogi Bhajan, the school program emphasizes Sikh and Khalsa values, Kundalini Yoga and academic excellence. The name is derived from the words "Miri'" for Temporal and "Piri" for Spiritual. The school encourages students to: "Discipline your mind. Train your body. Befriend your soul". 〔2014-2015 Parent Handbook〕Mission To train the future leaders, teachers and healers of tomorrow through rigorous discipline, quality academics and a strong sense of self. 〔2014-2015 Parent Handbook〕Founder Miri Piri Academy was founded in 1997 by the Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji, also known as Yogi Bhajan. A deeply devoted Sikh, his inspiration and example motivated thousands to embrace the Sikh way of life. Through his personal efforts, Sikh Dharma was legally incorporated and officially recognized as a religion in the USA in 1971. Born Harbhajan Singh Puri, August 26, 1929, in a part of India that became Pakistan in 1948, he was the son of a doctor. He spent his youth in Catholic convent schools and private schools, and when he was just eight years old he began his yogic training with Sant Hazara Singh, who proclaimed him to be a Master of Kundalini yoga when he was sixteen years old. During the turmoil of partition in 1947, at the age of 18, he led his village of seven thousand people 325 miles on foot to safety in New Delhi, India, where he arrived with only the clothes on his back. He soon established himself in Delhi, and after graduating with a degree in Economics, he began service with the Indian government and married Bibi Inderjit Kaur in 1952. In September 1968, he left India to begin teaching in the west. Breaking the centuries old tradition of secrecy surrounding the empowering science of kundalini yoga, he began teaching it publicly. Traveling extensively in the seventies and eighties, Yogi Bhajan crusaded tirelessly to educate, uplift, and enlighten everyone he met. True to his earliest commitment, "I've not come to gather students, but to train teachers," he directed the formation of the International kundalini yoga Teachers Association (IKYTA) and Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) to hold teacher-training courses throughout the world. An ardent advocate of world peace and religious unity, the Siri Singh Sahib met with world leaders of all faiths to encourage dialogue, including Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II, the Dalai Lama, and two Archbishops of Canterbury. His openhearted acceptance of everyone, along with an uncompromising insistence upon excellence, made him a formidable teacher. Miri Piri Academy was founded to serve future generations with the example and the teachings of the Siri Singh Sahib. The Siri Singh Sahib died on October 6, 2004, but his mission and his teachings continue to guide each generation of students who come to study at Miri Piri Academy. 〔2014-2015 Parent Handbook〕Credo:Miri Piri Da School, Rehit Piare Pehelaa Asool. “Our School is of the Temporal and the Spiritual, Love of The Rehit (Spiritual Path) is our First Commitment.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miri Piri Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
