Se Kinehiya

sekinehiya2006.pdf 1.16MB 143 downloads

It is the autobiography of Sant Baba Harnam Singh Ji (Rampu Khera) Sant Ji was a Pooran Bhraimgyani, who's soul was merged with waheguru and this book gives a detailed account of his life and spritual experiences. This was one of the first books i read about sikhi and served as a big inspiration to my sikhi path.

enjoy!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!

Dear God of many Names,

Protect your children tonight wherever they are sleeping
And let them know the world does not have to be like this
Place a kiss upon each of their foreheads
And remind them oh so gently
That there are reasons to be hopeful
And reasons for them to dream beautiful dreams.

AmenRon Atchison

I would definitely recommend The Game of Love by Harjinder Singh.

http://www.amazon.co...e...3604&sr=8-1

The Game of Love tells the story of the Sikhs and their freedom struggles throughout history. Guru Nanak the first Guru of the Sikhs started the revolution of Sikhs standing up against tyranny and oppression, in the 15th century, this movement of freedom struggles has carried on to the present day. In the post 9/11 world, the word of the 10th Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh resonate, When all peaceful means have been exhausted it is just to draw the sword The Game of Love portrays the tears, torture and the sacrifices of the Sikhs throughout history, the readers will decide if they are termed freedom fighters, insurgents, militants or the popular word used by oppressive governments to term the brave and courageous.

I wouldnt recommend that book to anyone under-18. Actually the same goes for the diary of anne frank. but yeah, Flashman and the Mountain of Light was pretty interesting and melancholy as the khalsa raj sounded like a great place, until it was invaded.
