upto 9th grade.. i had no interest in sikhi.. then i met all these people who were chardikala.. and realised how much satisfaction and happiness i get out of it..

so here i am

i got into sikhi, by going to rensbai raats and reading alot of wicked sikh books. the main book that inspired me was 'UNDITHI DUNIYA' and 'FROM MANMUKH TO GURMUKH' which was written by bhai randheer singh. the first book which i read (undithi duniya) was so inspiring i felt like takin amrit.

[Sarbloh Soulja]

thanx, raz :D

[DALY]

i've been trying to get a copy of undithi duniya too, but whichever stall person I ask, they say all the copies have been sold. This book must really be awesome!

How did I get into Sikhi?

Well, once I was searching for Malkit Singh's bhangra tracks on napster and when I couldn't find anything new, I just took Malkit off and did a search with the word Singh. The first file which showed up was that of Dhan Dhan Baba Jernail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindrawale!! I don't know why I even clicked on that file, but when it got done downloading, I just bursted out into tears. And then daas found the websites: akj.org and akj.org.uk. I downloaded some tracks of Bhai Harpreet Singh ji of Canada without knowing that he was a good kirtani or not as I had no sense of what the files would be like. Those kirtan files gave daas a final blow of prem di teer of Satguru ji's Sikhi!!

And luckily after some days daas came in contact with some Singhs associted with AKJ and I was amazed to see their prem for Sikhi and Rehit Maryada. And then I started attending a local simran program which was being organized mostly by Singhs associted with AKJ and dang!, the simran just shook me! It was so chardi kaala. Luckily after getting into Sikhi daas's local town had an amrit sanchaar (this was before starting simran programs). So I took amrit over there and started doing Path and keeping Rehit. Only after doing all these things did I find out how practical Sikhi is. There are many of our brothers and sisters who think keeping sarbloh bebeaik and baana is just pakhand but i

t really isn't, atleast from what I know. We only get to know the importance of such things after we start doing them.

ok, continuing with the story, then daas got naam drir and it was just AWESOME to get it done from charde kaala vaale Singhs!

Sikhi is really beautiful but we really cannot see the true Sikhi without actually practising it. Sarbloh, bebeaik/baana/naam simran/paath/santhea are all the things which will give us courage similar to that of Puraatan Singhs and Kaurs.

I'm REALLY REALLY thankful to Guru Sahib for blessing me with the daat of Khande baate ki Pahul. I really think that I'm not worthy of being an Amritthaari, it was the vaadeae of Guru Sahib that he bestowed me with it!

:D

I LOVE GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, powerful man

Sat Sri Akaal!

I am intersted in Sikhi coz I want to learn and imbibe the courage of our forefathers. Living a city life makes one follow a pseudo-value system and robs us of our courage. By learning about Sikhi I will know the real reason why I am a Sikh.
