Tomas Meyers
Poet, songwriter, and spiritual interpreter of the Aramaic tradition
About Tomas
Tomas Meyers (also known as Gurunam Singh Khalsa) was a poet, songwriter, and spiritual teacher whose life was devoted to exploring the depths of sacred language through verse. A vast and gentle soul, Tomas co-directed a spiritual center with his partner Rachmana and together they dedicated their lives to making the Aramaic teachings of Yeshua (Jesus) accessible through poetry, music, and contemplative practice.
Tomas’s gift was his ability to take the ancient Aramaic words of Jesus and breathe them into living poetry — expansive, luminous renderings that opened the heart rather than merely informing the mind. His poetic interpretations appear throughout this site, woven into the glossary of Aramaic terms and brought to life in the audio recordings.
After a long journey with Parkinson’s disease, Tomas made a conscious and peaceful departure from this life, surrounded by song and prayer from his spiritual community. His own words accompanied him: “Something ever lasting is nothing to deny, something ever lasting just like you and I.”
