Waheguru g ka khalsa

Waheguru g ki fateh

i m an amritdhari girl from non-amritdhaari hindu family . i dont have any sikh friends nor i am able to go to sangat since my elder cousin amritdhaari sister got married .

3 years ago when I was baptised I was progressing in sikhi but now i m falling

I know that i should do simran at all times and read a lot baani but i dont do.

Earlier i remained happy thoughout the day and kept on reciting Anand Sahib with understanding . I did Ardaas with whole of my heart & love for waheguru g .

But now m not attentive even while doing nitnem .

M not able to follow the reat even , Cant stay like this anymore but I don’t know how to get back to right path .

I don’t remember the last time when I properly completed the nitnem . I don’t want to stay like this but cant help . Its worst than dyeing . My soul cries . This year I don’t know where I lost myself . :cry: I failed before the real exam

Hmmmmm, does your family have a problem with you being a Sikh? I come from a Punjabi Hindu family myself, and had the advantage that my folks are Punjabi, and so even though they are Hindus they still had deep respect for Sikhi. But parents are parents. My folks were not against me taking Amrit, just wanted me to postpone it. And since I didn’t postpone it, they took a while to get around it. Now after 8 years things are alright, so it does take time. But what exactly is going on thats stopping you from keeping up?

No my parents are not a problem . Ya somtimes my fateher doesnt like my appearance (dastaar)

Actually its lack of sangat .. I wish to visit to kirtan samagams .. Chant in Sangat but dont get the right place .

Earlier i used to regularly visit akj local programmes with my sister but now i dont find it safe going there alone . N at my school also none of my friends is in sikhi

I dont understand... How a Non- Sikh person can become Amrit dhari without a specific reason....

Means being a sikh is so difficult and being a Gursikh- Amritdhari is like.... :O

Means how does this happens.... a hindu.. girl/boy becomes amritdhari.... ethe te sikh amritdhari ni bande

Waheguruji ka khalsa waheguruji ki fateh bhenji.

Glad to hear that you've chosen the path of sikhi that many, who're born into sikh families, find difficult.

I'm assuming that you must have been attracted towards some aspects or something peculiar must have happened in your life that drew you towards Sikhi.

People often ask, like Gurpreet14 bhenji has asked above, how does that happen?

The answer is...it's all Karam.

You must've had some really good karams that you got Amrit and have been able to adopt Sikhi.

Listen to the Katha linked below, bhenji. Baba Hari Singh Randhawe wale have explained how every time one tries to progress spiritually, a bad-karam comes forwards and we have to endure the result of or as we say in Punjabi: Karam bhogna paina.

Now how does one erase those Karams?

Nishkaam-sewa, Keertan, Satsang are a few of the easier methods.

Also, do not take our Nitnem for granted. Sant Giani Kartar Singh Ji Bhindranwale say in his katha that one day's nitnem, washes away Sanchit-Karam (collective deeds) of 100 previous births.

On another note, is there anything that makes you sad or depressed? A bad mood doesn't allow one to progress spiritually either. It's often necessary to try and see if there is an underlying issue.

Hope I have been of a little help, Bhenji.

Take care.
