Dhan Teri Sikhi

The event and the candlelight vigil was wicked. in memory of all the 1984 Shaheeds. It was great seeing so many Singhs and Singhnia in the Square from all over the country. Bhai Roop Singh's talk was just amazing, no words to describe it. One word was used to sum up the contributions of each of our Guru Sahib Jee for Sikhi. All the speakers were great. :TH: To finish off the event the video which was shown at the end - The Widows Colony was really emotional and sad. :'( :'( A big big thank you to all the sewadars who have worked so hard over the last few weeks/months to make this event such a success. May Guru Jee keep you all in Chardi Kala and may there be more events like this in the future. Like rkr Bhenji said THIS IS NOT THE END... THIS IS JUST THE START!!!! Waheguroo Waheguroo

Bhenji.... Stay In Chardi Kala :TH:, try not to feel down.. I know its easier said than done. I guess I cannot really tell you what you can do in this difficult situation because my parents have always taken me to the Gurdwara since a young age and I have had the opportunity to do Sangat and been encouraged to progress with my Sikhi since a young age. I feel so lucky that my immediate family are into Sikhi and we are always encouraging each other on Guru Jee's path and discussing Sikhi with each other but Bhenji I really admire you for being the only one in your family walking on Guru Jee's path. You are truly blessed by Guru Jee. Bhenji all I can say is do ardas to Maharaaj Jee, Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee that they do their kirpa, grace on the rest of your family members so that they realise the beauty of Sikhi. I don't know how I would cope if my parents were to say to me that I cannot go the gurdwara... I would just wanna cry as it would be difficult to live without the Darshan of Guru Jee and the Sangat. When your family say that you cannot go the gurdwara, just pray to Guru Jee that he blesses you with the opportunity to go to the Gurdwara and do Sangat. Guru Jee will listen to you.. In the meantime stay calm and be strong in your sikhi, do more naam simran, listen to keertan etc at home. Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh

Amazing Hukamnama Wahegurooo Congratulations Mandeep Kaur (Princess) Bhenji :TH: To the Khalsa Family.. May Guru Jee always keep you in Chardi Kala and bless you with Gursikhi Jeevan, Naam Simran and Sewa.
