Are You Really A Sikh Of The Guru?

[Akaali]

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa, Vaheguru ji ki fateh!

Do you call yourself a Sikh of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji? Lets see if you can live upto that status:

Gurbani Questions:

Can you read Gurmukhi?

Yes? Good! Read on! If not, then what can I say? Go learn it!

How much Gurbani do you have memorized to recite in sangat or by yourself?

Have you done Santhya, i.e Can you recite gurbani without making a mistake?

If someone asks you, What does your Guru say about about issues in life (birth, death, love, hate, etc.) Can you give them reference to bani?

General questions:

Can you do parkaash/sukhaasan seva of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji?

Can you lead a congregation/divaan (do ardaas, take hukamnama)?

Can you make degh/Karah parshaad?

Lets reflect on our lives, how can you call yourself a Sikh of the Guru, let alone the light and future of Sikhi if we can't do some of the basic things listed above?

This is just a wake up call. I think we all need one, once in a while.

Bhul chuk muaf!

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa, Vaheguru ji ki fateh!
