makes me realise how im wasting my life

[kaur03]

:doh: WOW !!!!! AMAZING STORIESSS .. WOW!.. Realsing that i am not alone .. everybody goes through things like this!

My story then !!

Well about 3 years ago i go into sikhi , I have always been into sikhi like wanting to know more , but i had no sangat!!!... i was one of those PROUD TO BE SIKH people. I did used to go gurdwara , but tried to get out of it a lot.

I stayed in birmingham with my cousins 3 years ago , they had just recently taken amrit , so i was inspried by them , they told me stories on sikhi daily and took me to a nagar kirtan my first 1 , and gurdwara a lot , from that point i realised i wanted to take amrit at some point in my life.

When i got home after 2 weeks , i went straight into my room and did mool mantar paat ( as i had a gutka). Everybody in my family started thinking i was mad, that i got brainwashed by my cousins (always have to blame someone). As my parents are not relgious nor are my family , my dads a mona smokes etc , Mums religous as in goes gurdwara all the timee does so much sewa, but doesnt really follow any rehit.

So slowy i started using the internet a lot .. researching about the gurus and sikhi and meeting good sangat online , using sikh forums a lot. My parents began to wounder where i was learning all this sikhi stuff from , as nobody realli in my fmaily are religous.

I became a vegetarian , no egg or fish !!.. ( i didnt think about it jst decided to in 1 min after talking tomy cousin) .. I was so determined to keep it up , and i did. eevrybody was like i give you a week .. it had been a year! .. I was learning more about sikhi .. through sangat and internet

Neway ..

3rd year this year .. HARDESTT EVER!! ... guru ji has set hudge tests for me.

this year ive been following rehit , all my kakkar , go gurdwara a lot , do my paat etc. But fmaily were so against it i couldnt understand why my fmaily were so against it .. maybe becausethey wasnt used to seeing me religous , as nobody else in the fmaily was , i used to eat meat , at weddings etc dance dance dance , dress up a  lot etc.

But ive realised the true path now , I went to my first rehnsabhi , AMAZING! my dad didnt know about it as he would have said no , my mum did , as i stayed round my cousins and went with someofmy singhnee freinds . , From that day i changed !!! it only takes some sangat to change me ... I stopped listening to bhangra ( i was a fanatic literally !!! ) i stopped make-up , removing hair etc. All cus of that rehnsabhi.

At this point people really thought i was mad , fmaily would laugh at me , call me a Freak , blame people for bringin me into sikhi( but wouldnt youre fmaily be supportive of you coming into sikhi? guess not).. It was the hardest ive ever faced.

Then at school i faced another test ... The school did allow me to wear my kara in p.e I refused to remove it .. this went on and on .. i got some singhs to come down to school they sorted it out .. ok took time .. liek had to go to the board of goveners but with maharajs kirpa it worked out ( thanks to the singhs to , done great seva.).

I started to go to more rhensbahis , keertan darbars CHANGED ME SOO MUCH ! i loved it couldt get enough , kirtan 24/7 for me now.. loved it LOVED IT loved it!!

Family were so mean to me , but i knew i had guru ji by my side ( kalgia vale mere naal hai)

I stayed a weekend at my other cousins house they are all amrtidhari ( but theyre like my dads cousins kids so a little far) .. There was a rehnsabhi that night .. OMG I WAS IN LOVE! i sang out loud .. was in deep meditation did seva chilled with the sangat .. the next day got up early as there was a r4g mission to go to .. i went WOW!!! all i can say .. that changed me for good .. that was like my first step towards to the route of amrit.

I went home wore all my 5 kakkar.. wore patka's .. that evening some of the singhs were saying in about 2 weeks amrit sanchar anybody ready heres youre chance.. i didnt realli think about taking amrit like in the weeks to come . i just let it slip my mind. I spoke to the singhs again , and i started to realise " im read for this" .. but i knew my parents would say NO!!.. as in how are you going to get married? ( plenty of great sangat now) .. job ? ( maharajs kirpa) .. how would you fit in .. it went on !!

The date got closer and closer.. i did ardas to maharaj daily to show me the true path ... to give me a sign wheter or not guru ji thinks im ready to take amrit..

I spoke and spoke to people about it .. i knew at this point i was ready!! ...  Well i thought ok im gna break it down to my parents , i thort my mum would be fine .. dad no way get out the house!! .. No dad was fine , he goes i wil ask youre mum if she says yeah , then you can take amrit!! i was liek shock  but sooo soo happy 

I started to get ready for my amrit sanchar , then dad asked my mum , they wasnt to sure  .. so they asked my grandad he said NO!! .. my heart broke into peices .. i cried and cried and cried.. i idnt talk to nobody .. at that point i realised howmuch i wanted amrit .. how much i wanted to give my head!! .. i couldt stand the factmy parents said no " how dare they stop a person on the path of god". I was determined to take amrit , wthere it be i go by my self without telling anybody !! ... hmm risky .. the worst they could do iskick me out thehouse!.. I didnt care

I did ardas next day .. and asked my rents .. i needed theire blessings , i cried i pleaded , finally managed to perusade them they sais YES! ... VAHEGUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! vaheguroo ji had done so muchkirpa on me it was unbealivable ...

but .. i didnt tell ym parents id be wearing a dastar heheh !! lol.. took amrit WOW !! i came home with a dastar on .. my dad was fine about it , mum was funni she still is but who cares.. I GAVE MY HEAD! I WAS OVER THE MOON

I GAVE MY HEAD ON 13TH AUGUST 2005 !! :doh:  

i cant belive it , That id give my head , at the age of 15 anyway !! .. in shock seriously.

i took amrit in my hols , went to school , eevry1 was fine .. ok 1 person said something but who cares! IM GURU GOBIND SINGH JI'S DAUGHTER! IVE GOT A CROWN ON MY HEAD! im more than determined to carry on .

Now ive gotta tell my school about my kirpan heheh    hope it will go well.

Last year at school.. so shoudl be fine

People stare but .. not as bad as ithort it wud be !

I JUST THANKS VAHEGUROO JI FOR GIVNG ME THIS OPPURTUNITY! FOR SHOWING ME THE TRUE PATH .. I HOPE VAHEGUROO JI BLESSES OTHERS TO.

well..i dont have much of a story....but even tho i was born to amritdhari parents...my journey has been quite unique.........i was spoiled as little child...i was quite fashionable......lol........then we came to America when i was about 6/7 i was introduced to the world of wedding parties wid bhangra and stuff and on the other hand to the gurdwara.........from age 7 i wud ask my daddy questions about politics and why the govt. of india did what it did........i learned a lot from those times, but my life was still split half and half between being a punjabi and being a sikh....up till the seventh grade i remained a punjabi...then i realized that a sikh must cover their head (i never cut my hair from the day i was born...so that wasn't a prob) i began to wear a rumaal to skool.....i got queer looks, but nobody bugged me...then in ninth grade i promoted myself to wearing a dastaar (i was still not amritdhaari at the time bcz i wanted to strengthen my mind to everything so that i cud be strong as a singhni)....the first day i wore a dastaar to skool...i got MANY queer looks and lots of ppl pointed at me and laughed....i didnt know what to do so i put my head up high and walked past the taunting facesans startes thinking of guru ji...........(i shud have punched em all now tht i think about it)...but my parents were still cautious of my wearing a dastaar...they tried to talk me outta it, tht dastaar isn't necessary...i shud keep wearing rumaal.......but i decided not to go bak.....then exactly one year afterward...with hours and hours of argument at our house, with guru ji's kirpa i took amrit....................well thas my life story rite there...i just hope tht i can raise my dastaar as high as it has raised me
