   Sharing in His Name A holy man awoke one morning and took a look outside his window and thought "What a wonderful morning you have given us!" He bathed and did some Simran and Paath. After he had finished he thought he would make himself something to eat, but he thought to himself "I think I shall feed another today in Gods name before I feed myself." So he got ready and set out to find someone to share his food with. As he walked through his village he came across many people and asked them whether they would like to share his food, they all thought he was mad and passed him by. Then, he saw an old man who was homeless and asked him if he would like to come to his hous…

   Vahe Guru ji Ka Khalsa Vahe Guru Ji Kee Fateh!! Can anyone tell me that Are we getting smarter than sikhs in Guru ji's era or do we even think why so many singh were massacred. Why Guru Gobind Singh Ji sacrified his entire family for? What about the great warriors of Sikh religion why they fought and proceeded to sachkhand? Were they crazy or they just wanted to suicide? What was the source of their power working behind them that they fought with such abravery that even enemy couldn't rest without praising their bravery with which they fought and did maximum damage to enemy. They did everything just for us so that we could see a daylight today as Singhs and Kaurs. Why …

   "Perishable is all that you, O man, venture out of your soul to own. And without Simran, let me tell you, you cannot truly own yourself. Then up and gather the nuts of life, these hard things of repeating His Name and after death, you will know what great tresures you have gathered in the nuts of Naam. And those who have gathered other things, will find their empty hands smeared with soot. The quality of the soul shall determine your position in the universe, not your possessions, however beautiful. I have seen it. I ran away from this tedious task of repitition. But without it, without this symbolic act of love, I had no more passage into the Garden where He dwell…

   In New York City, on a cold day in December, a little boy about 10 years old was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?" "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply. The lady took him by the hand and went into the store and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down,…

   We have forgotten our uniqueness, separate and distinct identity and also our glorious heritage. To explicit our present situation there is a story which goes like this.... Lion --> Sheep --> Lion There was a lioness and her cub in a jungle. One day the lioness was short dead by some hunters and the lion cub in its search for its mother got mixed up in a herd of sheep. As the time went by, the lion cub acquired the habits of sheep, started eating grass, other leaves and also started drinking milk. Eventually, it even started to make meek sounds the sheep make. One day, a lion prowled the area and his roar sent all the sheep helter-skelter. Only the lion cub remain…

   A Radha Swami Girl Becomes Khalsa

   I would like to share one true story with all of you. It is about this one girl who was a follower of one living guru of the Radha Swami cult. One day, this girl listened to katha of Jaap Sahib and decided to take amrit. She did not tell her family members knowing that they would forbid it. On the day of amrit sanchaar she went to panj pyare but somehow her family members found out from someone and followed her. By the time they reached there, she was already inside Guru’s Darbar ready to take amrit. Her family members, especially her grandmother, started disparaging Amrit to the sevadar at the door and demanded she come out which by then was too late. They spoke filthil…

   Depths Of Gurbani

   I have been listening to this one particular shabad for a long time but never realized the true meanings until I heard katha on it. Many times you will find Gurbani is the form of questions and answers. Guru Ji asks question first and then give answer. of course, no one knows the depth of Gurbani and no one has the ability to answer Guru Ji's questions. Take this question for example qY swihb kI bwq ij AwKY khu nwnk ikAw dIjY ] thai saahib kee baath j aakhai kahu naanak kiaa dheejai || One who brings me a message from my Lord and Master - says Nanak, what shall I give to Him? Now take a look at the answer. sIsu vFy kir bYsxu dIjY ivxu isr syv krIjY ] sees vadtae …

In retrospect, I know it was predestined in this life. Gurusahib put me on this path despite great obstacles I had to face. I did not know the Punjabee language or culture in the least and my family cherished conservative Catholic values. What were my chances of receiving Amrit? My first darshan of a Singh occured when I was seven years old. He was climbing on a bus. I was transfixed …

    Before I go into the story I would like to give you a brief account of the situation. This is the time when the army of Mir Mannu was going from house to house searching for Sikhs. Many of the Sikhs took shelter in jungles but some Sikhs who were living with their families in the cities and could not just leave right away or join any jathas. They were captured by the army and all were being sent to Lahore. Most of the prisoners were Sikh women and children. Many of the old women were killed on the way because they were weak and could not walk for a long time. All of the Singhnis and their children were put in Lahore jail. For labor they were given “chakkis”. They were g…
