I used to think of God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I did wrong, so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He was out there, sort of like a president.

The holder of the royal hawk, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Taken from http://www.nihangsingh.org/blog/ Previously nihangsingh.org posted the “Rehitnama Bhai Nand Lal Ji”, which is the code of conduct for the Sikhs that was uttered from the holy mouth of the 10th King, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Sangat is a congregation of holy people sitting together as equals and singing praises of the lord; pangat means sitting together as equals and eating free food contributed voluntarily by the community. In addition to the popularization of these two ins…
