  4. Fauja Singh - World's Oldest Marathon Runner Retires At 101

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted


    Great inspiration to Sikhs and others, always be remembered :)



    Article:



    By Jay Singh-Sohal, Sky News Producer



    The world's oldest marathon runner, Fauja Singh, is
    retiring after his final race in Hong Kong.



    The 101-year-old said he felt sad quitting competitive
    events but his age had finally caught up with him and he wanted to end on a
    high.



    Speaking in Punjabi, through his interpreter and trainer
    of 13 years Harmander Singh, the great-great-grandfather from Ilford, east
    London, said he is worried about what will happen when he stops running.



    He said: "I fear that people will no longer love me.
    At the moment, everyone loves me - I hope nobody will forget or ignore
    me."



    Mr Singh ran
    as a torchbearer at the London Olympics



    Nicknamed the Turbaned Tornado, Mr Singh began running at
    the age of 89 after moving to the UK from India to be with his family after the
    death of his wife and a son.



    At the time he needed a new focus in life. Since then, he
    has completed nine 42km (26-mile) marathons in London, Toronto and New York.



    In Hong Kong he competed in the 10km race on marathon
    day, which has a record 72,000 participants in different categories.



    Mr Singh, who turns 102 in April, said: "I feel that
    I must retire on a high. I will not stop running, but will do it for my
    personal health."



    Last year, Mr Singh ran as a torchbearer during the London Olympics.



    But despite being widely held as the world's oldest
    marathon runner, Guinness World Records have refused to certify him because he
    does not have a birth certificate.



    Mr Singh, whose name means soldier in Punjabi, said there
    were no birth certificates in rural Punjab when he was born.



    He aims to continue running his 16km a day to stay in
    shape - and inspire more people to keep fit.

    Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Jee Ki Fateh!

    Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji !!!!

    Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji moulded and cast the Khalsa in His own image.

    gurugobindsinghaskingforahead.jpg

    It was on this momentous day of Vaisakhi that the Great Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji launched the Khalsa onto a unique spiritual crusade.

    On this day the five beloved ones rose one after the other and in total submission surrendered and offered their heads as demanded by the Great Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji.

    300px-DefinitionDunSikh_1_Amrit.jpg

    From this day onwards the vision of the whole nation started glowing with the Light of Immortality

    The five beloved Sikhs who volunteered, had demonstrated their willingness to give their heads--in the same way that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji had done that day in Delhi.

    Those who were ready to give themselves up to their Guru were the bravest and most devoted.

    These brave men had unkowningly chosen to be part of a new Panth - the Khalsa Panth.

    vaisakhi2.jpg

    It was on this day that Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji joined the Khalsa Panth after his devoted Sikhs - the initiator becoming the initiated. Today, as then, they lead the Khalsa alongside the Guru:

    "Where there are Panj Pyare, there am I…"

    To celebrate the great historical day of Vaisakhi & Birth of Khalsa Panth please attend the Annual Mata Sahib Kaur Sikh Academy Vaisakhi Camp. There will be 5 days of Fun Activities, Spritual Workshops, Learning Kirtan, Gatka , Santhiya, Kirtan/Katha, Sports , Langar , Pizza, Chips and the best part Maharaj's Darshan and Seva for five days.
