Encouraging the yatra, Sri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan had said, "Yatra is a holy journey. We must go into the center, the heart center. It is a journey on earth to one's "Isht"- one's higher self, one's altar. It is a self-purification. So, we go from here to designated holy places & we have no other work but to get up in the morning to meditate, to go to these beautiful surroundings. Sometimes our mind hassles us, but we do conquer it. This is the purpose of Yatra."

Travelling to Patna Sahib - the birth place of Guru Gobind Singh ji, Sikh Dharma International will take part in all the festivities for the 350th year celebration of his birth. With great joy and devotion, the participants of Raj Khalsa Yatra will also spend time visiting the holy places where Guruji lived and spent time during his early childhood.
