Chadd Naam Bikh Khayi Janda.

Apney Saha nu mie roli janda
Apney karma nu mie kosi janda
Nindiya loka di kar kar mie.n
Pata nahi ki merey naal hoyi janda
Mie moorakh jo duniya pichey firda
Chadd Naam, hor "Bikh" khayi janda
Kyu mie na bankey sacha sikh
Payei poorniya tei Gura.n dei chalda.
Karo merey naal sabh ral kei ardaas
Miley Sozhi sanu lageey piyaas
Taangh milan di andar jagey
Miley satgur kolo, sanu sabh nu pyaar
Miley Waheguru kolou, sanu sabh nu parsaad.

Women’s and Male dominated society

Thou we have been listening all along that there’s one God, every one is equal in Sikhism yet we do not accept the fact that Women holds equal rights no matter what. Why do we keep on oppressing women’s? Why we do not let them handle the situation? Why do we keep targeting them as like they are slaves to us? There are millions of questions need to be answered but by who? Where do we look when we need to know all these answers? Whose fault is this that we aren’t giving equal right to women?

I believe that it is my fault, your fault, their fault, it is society’s fault. We have shaped our society in this way that Men carry the highest rank in any household. Well, there was a reason for that because Women’s tend to live in the house and did not know about the outer world and as Men used to stay out for work, dealing with others and had better understanding of the outer world. So at the old times I can understand the reason. But now, in today’s society Duh! Women also deal with the world, she go to work and actually she does two jobs at the same time. Take care of her outer Job and as well as take care of her household and also at the same time prepares her children to live in this world in a better way. Even thou doing all these things yet she’s being oppressed by this male dominated society. It won’t change over night but this will be changed one day if and only if we all start from our own homes. Let’s start giving respect, status, equal position to the women’s in our house as well as women’s surrounding us; we will sure can truly say that we are giving justice to womanish stature. Without Women there wouldn’t have been any of us existed, so women is playing a special role in the world creation. We all need to wake up and walk on the path which Gurbani teaches us and that is “Equality”. Guru Nanak Dev Ji very thoughtfully started the Shiri Guru Granth Sahib Ji with “Ik”. “Oankar” comes after “IK”. So equality comes first and other things come after that. Thou equality is for God or for humans or for anything else in the world.

Yes ! Finally....

AAh i can still feel the "Anand" when the first drop of "Amrit" was dropped on my head. I can't explain what i felt then. I am still feeling coldish there. Yes! i finally made it but if i had listen to my mind this morning, i wouldn't have beenfeeling such "anandit" rite now. What exactly happend, i had told me yes i am not going to miss the boat this time. I didn't tell any one about it kept it surprised. So it was arund 5 Am in the morning. First of all i slept around 1ish. I thought i won't make it. But some one i got up exactly 4:40. I looked at the watch i came outside of my room and i stood there for few mins. I said it to my self, "Leave it" go to sleep. I went back to my bed and tried to sleep. I couldn't, i woke up again and told my self.. i think i should go. And then i went to rest room, i came back then again my mind tried it's best to stop me. I went back to bed again. As soon as i went on bed i am like no let me get up. This was the third time...some power was keep telling me .. no no wake up.. u should go... u can't miss this...I searched for "Kakar's" I couldn't find "KAngha", i am like.. oki am not going..I sat on the sofa for few minutes... i pickedup the phone and called my dad, it was 5:10. He was at the Gurdwara Sahib. I said ok did those ppl came yet? He said no but they are on the way. I replied, ok i am coming too. I hurridly took the shower and washed my hair, wore Kurta and then headed to Gurdwara Sahib. It was around 5:25 am. So, by the time i got there, Panj Pyarey were getting ready. So, kool i got there. Again my mind said, Go back. I shouldn't have come. But again some forced stopped me. After the blessings of Amrit, i was stunned by the "feelings" i was having. I felt so relaxed, my soul was happy. I wanted to get the blessings for a long time but every time i lept missing the boat and suddenly today Aug 19th, i made it. Yes! Finally i made it. I am still feeling the "thandak" on my head even thou i got cold lol coz i had to go to work so i couldnt dry my hair. Apart from that i am feeling wonderful.

A Women's Prayer

For how long, i would be treated slave
FOr how long, i would be nailed
Tell me oh Lord, please tell me
For how long i would be throwing into Grave.
Grave of tourcher, Opression and pain
Would my prayers will go in Vain?
Oh tell me, please tell me God
Why am i thrown on to roads.
Why am i being burnt and blown
When would this end, end for all
Thats the answer i need to trawl
Help me please help me to get back my crown
Crown of respect and crown of love
So i can be treated like others "as one"
Please help me show me a right way
That is only my God, i have to say
That is only my God, I have to say.

I have changed

Yes, I have changed a lot. I often think back and laugh at my old years i had spent here in USA. I have gone through bad and good times and what i have learned is that "One shouldn't sit and cry for what ever he has done but make the present better and learn from mistakes". Yet i am seems like not learning a lot thou but i am trying. As the time is passing, i am becoming more calm person but sometimes anger surrounds all over me. I get angry at my self thou it doesn't make me harm myself or any one around me. It actually makes me smile at my self. There had been many ups and downs in my life and met many wrong people who advised me to do wrong things but thankgod i resisted to participate in them. One of the recent example is, here i was in this family party few weeks ago. And guess what, few guys had brought the alcohol in the car and went outside of the party hall to drink. So, here's one of my friend said, "Let's go outside for a walk" i am like sure. And as we went outside he took me near that Van where other people were drinking and trying to enjoy their way of life. He said, "Come on enjoy it with us", i said, "No thanks". He insisted come on, just try one sip. I replied, "No never ever in my life i am going to touch that" I never did nor will period and i came back. If i wanted to drink, i could have had a sip and no one ever would have known that. But hey, Waheguru is always there looking at you. So, why should we do wrong doings. One should always learn to control himself. Once we have full control over our body, mind and soul no one can force us to do anything without our wil.

That's where i am stuck today.
Today i am learning to control
Today i am figuring out my goal
My goal is to be a better human
And thou i might not go too far
But i am trying my best
Yes i am trying my best.
That's where i am stuck today.

have a good one :)

Hesitating to Answer?

I believe that if some one is hesitating to answer any question(s), then he does give away the negative response to that person. Even thou he wanted to answer by all means but then if he doesn’t speak up at the moment when the question is asked and if he keeps himself busy in doing other things then no matter if he was going to give positive response; He will eventually will be judged wrong.

I am not making any assumption in here because that has happens to me more often now and i am still not learning from it which is sad indeed very sad. So, here some one asked me very politely, “Do you want to marry with a Girl who wears Dastar”, I hesitated little a bit to answer the question because there were 2 reasons. Firstly my mom was sitting there and secondly the question came to me all of a sudden and I was like in a shock for few seconds. At the same time I was doing something else and I had to finish the work I was doing. I knew my answer would have been, “Yes, I don’t have any problem”, If the Girl is nice and has family values then why not”. If she’s beautiful inside out then why not; If we think alike then why not; if she can educate me spiritually then why not. As I was thinking all that I had to get back to my work without answering and then the in few seconds Topic was changed. Since then I have been feeling a guilty that damn! I should have answered without any hesitation because by not saying anything I gave an idea that “No, he is not going to marry a girl who wear Dastar because he doesn’t like it”.

Damn! I don’t know what to doL. I guess next time I will try to learn hopefully.

"Bhai Sahiba" a bliss

Waiting is over, Yes finally it is over
Thou it's said we're equal, but never treated equal
Thou we were opressed, by the male domination
We did Ardaas, whenever we had segregation
Time to time we've faced humilation
Finally we can get the blessings of "Parmeshar"
Coz Now we can do the sewa without any hesitation
Thou we gona face the so many Tribulations
But We will stay tall coz we have official Permission
Thou there's no need of Offical permission
Coz we always have Waheguru's authorization
Waiting is over, Yes finally it is over

Blessed Souls

A day with Satjivan Singh Khalsa & Bibi Jasbir Kaur Khalsa Jawadi Waley

A beautiful morning and a wonderful starting of the day, I couldn’t ask anything better on Sunday. The camp ending ceremony started, there was so much shining on the faces of little children and of course an excitement because they had to present what ever they learned in the whole week during the Camp. Two most stars of the camp were, Bhai Jatinder pal Singh ji from Delhi and the name which I don’t think I need to give any introduction was , “Bibi Jasbir Kaur Khalsa” Jawadi Kala, Ludhiana waley. These two blessed souls had furnish the knowledge of little childrens and taught them more about Sikhi, the way of living through Gurbani and how to keep their love ones happy. In the earlier camps, around 4 little kids stopped cutting their and started to wear patka/turban without any outer pressure because now they were enlighten through knowledge and knew the what it takes to be a Sikh, and what is the real meaning of turban is. This year yet another child promised not to cut his hair ever again. So the event started, there were 60 participants in the camp with a different age group starting from 2 yrs to 22 yrs. They learned to do shabads in just one week without any prior knowledge of “Sur and Taal”. Apart from that all of them gave a few minutes speech regards to what they think about Ardaas and their camp reflection. As they finished their speeches suddenly some one arrived and everyone started looking at Him. He was none other then a blessed soul, “Bhai Satjivan Singh Ji Khalsa” As he took matha, I could hear the vibration through the Jaikara, ,” Boley Sonihaal, Sat Sri Akaal” Bhai Sahib was there to address the newly graduated students thou he had no idea of the children camp. So, as he came on the stage he looked very simple, beautiful and awesome individual. He gave his background about being a spoiled child in the early age of his life. The day he found “Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji”, his life was changed. I remember his words, as he went to Hemkunt Sahib couple of years ago and from going towards Gobind Dhaam he just sat in the middle because he couldn’t walk then he left everything on Waheguru and with every step he took all he said, “Waheguru”. He was making us think that if we do not use our own minds and leave it to “Waheguru”, Waheguru will take care of everything by Himself. But often we tend to use our own minds and then feel sorry later on. So, then he distribute prizes to the newly graduated students. I could see that he was so humble person. When replying to Jaikara’s, his voice was the loudest one in saying, “Sat Sri Akaal”. What so funny was he even stood up to fix the microphone when Bibi Jasbir Kaur ji Khalsa had to address the children? I mean look at the blessed soul, He’s a best lawyer and yet so humble. What difference in these kinds of souls and us is that we just say from our mouth that SGGS is our guru and we don’t feel by heart? And these blessed souls accepted it from their hearts. So now it was a langar time, and I was going downstairs to the langar hall and He and bibi ji approached near me, and he said “You are one of the graduates too rite?” I replied yes. He was like good so what your plan is now; I replied I got a good job in IT. He said, “That is wonderful”. We talked for sometime and I really felt honored by meeting these few blessed souls which doesn’t happen quiet often.
