The Question To Ask Yourself Is Do We Deserve The Right To Live If We Cannot Find Time For Our Guru.....


Recommended Posts

You're walking down the street, you are approached by someone, they ask if you have a minute or two to spare for a quick survey, you say you're in a hurry to get somewhere and rush off. Further down you are stopped again, this time someone offers you something in return for a minute of your time, pleased at the fact you will get something in return you stop and give up some of your time. These people attract us by giving us things that please our mind, that satisfy our needs, maybe they come dressed in certain clothes, or they speak in a certain way to get your attention.

If you ask a friend for help again and again you can bet that eventually that friend will get annoyed and stop talking to you, turn their back on you.

Maharaj has given us everything, yet we still hesitate to find the time for our Guru. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj has given Sacrifice 11 times to get our attention, are we still so inconsiderate that we will not give up one day to pay our respects to our Guru who gives us everything? Whenever we have a problem in our lives we can always count on Maharaj to be there for us, never stopped talking to us, never turned His back on us, can we say that we can do the same for our Guru?

Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji gave his life and Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji called upon the Sikh nation to awake, creating armies he fought against the tyrants! Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Sacrificed his life so that a religion which he had not belief in could continue to lve their lives without oppression! Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji again woke the Panth and created aneed for unity and after the sacrifice of His family turned to his enemy and said, so what if you have killed four of my Son's, when thousands will rise in their place! Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale woke the Sikh's of the 20th Century, making them aware of the oppression and struggles Sikh's were facing in this day and age. Teaching us that if we are ever to break these shackles of slavery we must Unite! Read Bani, Take Amrit and become the Son's and Daughter's of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji so that one day we may be blessed to have his Darshan.

On 16th March 2009, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Sacrificed 11 Saroops to teach us a lesson! We must unite to pay our respects to our Guru, but also to unite as the Khalsa Fauj that was once created to destroy the tyrants. If we do not accept our responsibilities, how can we ever show our face to our Father, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

With the amazing Kirpa of Maharaj there is a Sehaj Paath Bhog this Sunday, 24th May 2009, Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, Park Avenue, Southall. After the Bhog the Pavitar Ashes of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj will be taken to the Thames for the final ceremony.

“God has blessed us with beautiful bodies, he gives us good food and the greatest of all he has blessed us with birth into a Sikh household, then if we get tired or lazy we do not have the right to live – as we should be dedicating each breath to Sikhi Parchar.” - Sant Kartar Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale.

The question to ask yourself is do we deserve the right to live if we cannot find time for our Guru.....

To someone who knows better,

At the Sanskar Ceremony in March 09 Sant Jagjit Singh said that the asht of the Saroops should go back to Punjab, Kirtatpur Sahib. Why are we not doing this as per his guidance?

Just need some clarity on why we are going to the Thames and why we have the a 2 month gap between the Sanskaar and the bhog for the ashes, were there a number of Akhand Paths that were needed to be carried on in between now and the Sanskar?

Thank you Jee

Well as much as we would like to think that people would give anything to help their Guru in any situation, the truth is no one was ready to help. It was a sad sight first to see Maharaj Saroop's in that state, but what was worse was to see very little Sangat coming forward to help. Unfortunatley because of this, the few people that did help had very limited resources, ie. money, and so things took longer than expected. Also the reponsibilites of planning and organising these programmes fell on those few individuals also, and so once again the process was prolonged. But i hope that we can all make the effort to come this Sunday to Park Avenue and pay our respects.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
