Oh wow the Sangaat of Saadh =)

Yea i guess i can blog a lil quick entry before class, in about 10 mins ha... so let see yeah so i was just looking at the photos from the Conference... and yea i was really suprised and the wowness of the conference, just the people there well the few heh =) who are treading the path of Khanio Tikki Valo Nikki, they were true inspriations for use that just " Talk the Talk ", and are too afraid to "Walk the Walk"

One of those Inspirations would have to be. Roop Singh Ji Veer, it was so weird how we met, so there i was inthe lobby of the hotel waiting in Line to check in, when all of a sudden, i see a Huge Chardi Kala Singh, walk in with a "Huge Beard" hehe i was like oh Man its Roop Veer JI, and Amrit (another fellow roadie in our road trip" was like who? i'm like him, then i went to my Video iPod and played a movie of Roop Singh Ji, and it was weird we got so engrossed in the video that we forgot that Roop Veer Ji had Walked up to us and then I said Fateh, and i told him how amazing his daugther's wedding was.. "and that i was just showing , my friend, AMrit, your VIdeo on my iPod".. he's like really, hten i showed him, and he was like Holy moly, thats amazin' hehehe he was lost at words.. but it was sso sweet and well over the time of the conference Him and I bonded i guess, he even said hehe so it soo amazing how humble and genuine and sincere,Roop Veer Ji is =)
heres a Photo of him too.. everyone loved him hehe

and it was amazing at the fact that the keertan was awesome, like anand.. in the morning we were all tired but with Guru Ji's Kirpa we still felt mad Raas... =) oh ok i guess i gotta go for now..
Oh yeah so our school is gonna be updating our Blog to Movable type 3.2 with Pod Casting and other cool features and better looking skinzz... awesome no? yea so next monday expect somethign new i hope.. ha!.. peace

well even more on Atlanta..

yeah so sorry about my other entry, i was made ballin' after that one..., it was sweet thou last nite i was on the phone with Pardeep Veer Ji, and two phone cards later, we ended the convo., I asked him alot of stuff, but pretty much about his Ustaad, aka Teacher... Bhai Sahib Bhai Parminder Singh Ji,


it was really odd, because even after that convo.. i don't know what to say... except for Dhan Waheguru =).. well SatGuru Ji Says it better, as usual =),

Dnu Dnu hir jn ijin hir pRBu jwqw ]
jwie puCw jn hir kI bwqw ]


Blessed, blessed are the humble servants of the Lord, who know the Lord God.
I go and ask those humble servants about the Mysteries of the Lord

i guess i'll post up some photos of the very humble servants of God =), and i know that they are gonna kill the crap outta me ha!

Here are the two veer jis with Inderjit Veer =)

oh man yeah i'm really missing it.. and now I'm tired.. what to do except sleep =) But wait now that i think about it, there is so much that i should write b/c it looks rather empty the blog... ok ok so like what going on with my life lets see ok so well not too much, the high light probably would have to be Atlanta, yeah i really can't get over that... i just dont know why... but yeah.. most def this would have to be my most influenced week of my life... on gearing me where i wanna go ha.. but i'm also rather afraid.. but yeah i guess there soo much i learned that the Bhai Sahib Usually don't tell us in Gurdwara... like for Ardaas... its funny b/c like some manyothers i always thought that you only did ardaas when you wanted something like a "SHoppin List" as Guruka Singh Puts it =). But not its a requirement to complete ur Nitnem.. you don't ask for material stuff, but rather for a Gursikhi Jeevan =). there soo much SHakti to Ardaas, you have no idea, and i'm not gonna say b/c it isn't "logical", and well with that logic you won't find waheguru....


piVAY nwhI Bydu buiJAY pwvxw ]
Not by studying, but through understanding, is the Lord's Mystery revealed.

man oh man.. yeah i dont know really what else to say... my head is beat ha.. ok i think i'm gonna past out like mad!!!! i guess i should tellyou all that with Guru Ji's Mehr, i caved in and bought another iPod, but its a Video one, ha... i'm aputtin gsoo much keertan and keertan vIds on it =), mad fun and distracting... ok i'm gonna leave i guess... fateh

Even More about Atlanta...

well last nite when i was on the net.. wasting time... on the Net... i came across something i was not ready to view... it was a gallery of photos of the Bhog of the Three Chardi Kala GurSikhs of Guru Nanak Dev Ji that passed away....

it was so bone chilling seeing our councelours, Pardeep Singh Veer Ji and Tejinder Singh Veer Ji, with looks of mourning upon their faces... i can't finish this journal entry.. its too emotional.. sorry....

i hope the Guru Nanak Dev Ji Academy takes down that gallery, b/c its really emotional..., sorry about that guys.. Fateh

Atlanta.... a rekindle

ok so after reading, my buddy's blog i decided i should blog a whole lot more stuff haha about Georgia, and my awesome well awesome would be a major understate ment, let me just say that it was soo just it was "Dhan Waheguru" to the Max.....

so now well at first when i had heard about camp, back 2 months ago i was like yea rite, most likely we are just going to go to GA and jsut hang out do keertan, nothing too major... boy was I wrong

even though this was one a week long it was so prolly the most awe-inspiring week of my life, i mean right under Baru Sahib =)

ok so as you all know i left for Atlanta a Week earlier, than all the other campers....and i had no idea what i would be doing, alli really knew was that i'd be doing some "seva" hehe, for Inderjit Veer and Preeti Bhen Ji. Pretty much just doing camp stuff, and working at the Gas Station... (D'Oh, i had a sweet Photo of Inder Jit Veer's Sign on top of his Station, it was mad sweet, but i think that photo card is in Atlanta somewhere...) i'll post later on..

New Years in Atlanta

oh yeah so, thats rite i guess i can tell you all that i missed my flight to Richmond, thtas ok, i got to spend even more time with the two Surrey Veer Jis!!!, oh no i forgot no one knows who they are!!!

i guess i'll keep it low key but you have no i idea, wow Atlanta "Mini" Baru Sahib Camp rocked soo much, wow there is just so much GUru Ji's Mehr.. and Blessing i really don't know what i really could say about all of this...i'm just still blown away. all the stuff i learned and i don't even know if i could retain all of it..... its really weird how well just a weekm invested in the right thing, can have such a profound impact.

well i hope that Guru Ji will give me the strength to tred this path which is "KAnio Thikki Vaalo Nikki".....

its really amazing how hardcore of an impact just a handful of Gursikhs, can have on a bunch of youth.

i really don't know what to say about camp except , WaaaaahEEeeeGurUUU, WWaaaaahEEeeeGurUUU, WaaaaahEEeeeGurUUU, Dhan WaaaaahEEeeeGurUUU.....

My Friend raminder finally started doing a blog.. yeah

Mehalla 3:

and who speaks insipid words with his tongue, is ruined, again and again.

naanuk kirath paeiai kumaavunaa koe n maettunehaar
O Nanak, he acts according to the karma of his past actions, which no one can erase. ||2||

Blessed, blessed is the True Being, my True Guru; meeting Him, I have found peace

dhun dhun suth purukh sathiguroo humaaraa jith miliai hum har bhugath paaee
Blessed, blessed is the True Being, my True Guru; meeting Him, I have attained the Lord's devotional worship.

Blessed, blessed is the Lord's devotee, my True Guru; serving Him, I have come to enshrine love for the Name of the Lord.

dhun dhun har giaanee sathiguroo humaaraa jin vairee mithru hum ko subh sum dhrisatt dhikhaaee
Blessed, blessed is the Knower of the Lord, my True Guru; He has taught me to look upon friend and foe alike.

dhun dhun sathiguroo mithru humaaraa jin har naam sio humaaree preeth bunaaee
Blessed, blessed is the True Guru, my best friend; He has led me to embrace love for the Name of the Lord. ||19||

What He Said...

Says Kabeer, now I know God;
since I know God, my mind is pleased and appeased.
My mind is pleased and appeased, and yet, people do not believe it.
They do not believe it, so what can I do? ||3||7||


Ok so i dont know Waheguru yet, but i mean i have experienced some "peace".. yet i feel, what Bhagat Kabeer feels....

Quote by Yogi Bhajan

I found this quote on Mr. Sikhnet's blog, or another blog he started

"They may look like Sikhs of the Guru, but their heart is not for the Guru. You can call them anything; they are chips of the same block. Their dedication is not towards the Guru, their dedication is to their personal glorification and personal earthly power." - Siri Singh Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji

granted this isn't from Gurbani, but if you really think about it... it makes you wonder what our priorities are... sure we may say oh we are born in a Sikh household hence we pledge ourselves to our Guru Ji, but well when its time for Paath , we say ehh the heck with it, i'll just do it on sunday... actually enough of a rant, the quote speaks loud enough as it is...

but i think largely Yogi Bhajan was speakin' about mainly Punjabi Sikhs, i'm aloud to say that b/c i'm punjabi. but if you look at us, Punjabi sikhs, we really haven't been solely dedicated to Guru Ji. It fairly obvious if you think about it, i mean our parents moved us away from the Native Lands of Punjab to America, the land of "Opportunity". ... opprotunity for Maya hehe, there isn't really much opportunity for Sikhi, well now i wonder see what sikhi be in 3 generations, in America that is... amongst the "punjabi Sikhs"?

we, punjabi sikhs, say that Sikhi is accepting, but we aren't too accepting lol, i mean we aren't accepting of our non-punjabi sikhs.... on the language barrier and other fronts too..

i apologize if this was offensive, but perhaps it may have awaken the rite person

November 16, 2005

so why is Gurbani not recognized?

OK so well today in class, i was just randomly typing the word "Bible" in to the SikhitotheMax, program, and up came a really interesting shabad.. you wouldn't believe what Guru Nanak Dev Ji wrote...
well here is the shabad....
baanee brehumaa baedh athurubun kurunee keerath lehiaa
path vin poojaa suth vin sunjum juth vin kaahae junaeoo
naavuhu dhovuhu thiluk churraavuhu such vin soch n hoee
the kal puruvaan kuthaeb kuraan pothee punddith rehae puraan
naanuk naao bhaeiaa rehumaan kar kuruthaa thoo eaeko jaan
naanuk naam milai vaddiaaee eaedhoo oupar kurum nehee
jae ghar hodhai mungan jaaeeai fir oulaamaa milai thehee

The Guru's Bani has taken the place of Brahma's Veda, and the singing of the Lord's Praises are good deeds. ||5||
Worship without faith; self-discipline without truthfulness; the ritual of the sacred thread without chastity - what good are these?
You may bathe and wash, and apply a ritualistic tilak mark to your forehead, but without inner purity, there is no understanding. ||6||

In Kali Yuga, the Koran and the Bible have become famous.
The Pandit's scriptures and the Puraanas are not respected.
O Nanak, the Lord's Name now is Rehmaan, the Merciful.
Know that there is only One Creator of the creation. ||7||
Nanak has obtained the glorious greatness of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. There is no action higher than this.
If someone goes out to beg for what is already in his own home, then he should be chastised. ||8||1||
Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Now its really interesting how Guru Nanak Dev Ji actually wrote that in this dark age of Kal Yuga, that well firstly Gurbani will replace the Vedas.. thas like whoaa... and secondly how Guru Ji straight up states that The Bible and Kuran will be most recoginized, yet i find this odd in the sense that well if you look at the writing of Bhagat Kabir he says that one really does not need the Vedas or Samitic Scriptures, aka Bible/Koran, to reach Waheguru...
but back to the first point about Gurbani replacin' Hindu scripture..... that reminds me something that the Bhai Sahib JI told me, that In the Vedas, Guru Nanak Dev JI is actually mentioned... That in this dark age of Kali Yuga God will have mercy upon the World and send NANAK, i dont know the exact phrase in sanskrit.. but i know that in the vedas that since creation is divide in to 4 yugas - Sat Yuga, Dharma Yug, Drith YUg, and Kali Yuga., that God sends a Prophet/messenger to save humanity... First being Vishnu, Ramthen krishna, well i'm not too sure, sorry if i mixed up the wrong Avtaar for the wrong age... but how ever finally for Kal Yug, God sent Guru Nanak Dev JI =) and if you well think bout its like whooaa... hehe .. theres much more contriversy in this post, but i'll refrain..

"clothes of the Future"

Yesterday i had a sweet experience with Guru Ji's Roop, hehe or Khalsa Bana, i think...

ok so well yesterday at tea time, in Dr. Edward's office... Kathy had brought one of those World Radios, that has 6-9 bands of different Frequencys... any ways for a while there was tons of static, and not too much "radiO" on the air. So i decided to put my "Kara" hand near the antenna, and what do ya know.... We got Signal, really good signal, we weren't too sure where it was from but we think it was from far away. then i tired my other hand, but it didn't work quite as good. but Kathy said " Wow GP, you are a great conducter!" hehe what can i say...

but it makes you wonder, well those of yall in Guru Ji's Bana hehe of Kesh and the four other Divine Kakkars. Granted we wear them, but it makes you wonder what other things they do, on the other planes/fields of existence, the electromagnetic field, the Astro-physical, and many more... but i mean these Kakkars are on the wearer at all times, but it makes you wonder what Divine Attributes they have upon the body =).

just now i guess, Neurologist are finally doing CAT scans and i think EKGs on people who meditate, and their results are that the Alpha Waves are Stronger, and other Brain Waves are Stronger and more Concetrated.... interesting, no? heh

Dedicated to Unbiased Lovers Well

Dedicated to Unbiased Lovers

Well after reading my friend's blog, i decided once again to you know blog on something thats on my mind... well if i think back where i was last year... i was in NYC, that was my first trip to the big apple. and i was there for the remember 84 vigil. granted the vigil was really small about 75 people the most. I met alot of chardi kala sikhs there from MD, Jerzey, Ny, and that all i can remeber. oh even Cali, Kavi!. but yeah its hard to believe another year has passed, and there is still silence. pretty much...

but some how so many sikhs are excited bout Divaali, but about 84' its all hush hush... i tried pitchin' some 84 event to the rest of the sikh club board, but apparently the rest of the board is "pro-indian" its odd ha.

any ways now i wonder how did things end up like this? i guess sikhs still take sikhi for granted.. hmm but i guess i'll end this wiht a "Huh" ....

sects of sikhi

lol so after talkin to different sikhs haha, weird i've come to realize that apparently there are sects in sikhi.. so there are AKJ's, 3HO's, Non-Keshadhaaris, Keshadhaaris, Meat Eatin' Sikhs, Veggie Sikhs, Dodra's... Also can't forget about the Sikhs that believe that Sikhi is a dervivative of Hinduism b/c Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Father was Hindu... how in the world did Sikhi get like this. why can't we all jus Be AmritDhaari and fully follow what Guru Ji told us in Gurbani?? why can't we just all get together and sit together in Sadh Sangat and Sing some Keertan?? whats wrong with that!! and all have Langaar together and yeah Sing KEERTAN!!!!! lets all do some Naam Japna, Vaand Chakna, and Keert Karna!! yeaaa.... that'd rock.. who in wiht me??

born in to it?

well i was talkin to ms. deepa kaur and well we had come to realize, or she told me, that unlike other main stream religions, YOu aren't really born in to SIkhi, its a conscious choice. You have to Choose to be a Sikh and live up to it. IN the sense how christian believe in Baby Baptisms, or baptism them when they are little. In the time of Guru nanak Dev ji, when sikhs would be baptism by His charan de phul, they would be older.... and In the Time of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Khalsa, Khanda De Phul amrit, he made sure people were ready.

Thats another thing, well i was saying that you can't convert someone on in to Sikhi. The way you make a sikh is through Amrit. and you can't force a person to take Amrit, oops again Gopi and nikko, b/c if their heart isn't in it wont work. Plus if you do amrit not on a heart full of Love for God, you won't live up to the Rules... ie not cutting your hair... being a Sikh means you take Amrit... no questions asked...

Its as simple as that, when you wanna take it, is simply all up to that Sikh, but amrit is only the beginning of a very long road... needless to say i'm prolly the worst amritdhaari ever on the face of the earth..

but thats another thing about sikhi, its all about Love, Sikhi is about making that Love for God in your heart, so it comes out deep with in, deep from the soul and radiates out... lol jus love.... LOVE.. its a beautiful thing, when you experience love, ... no words really to explain it... but you'll know hwen you feel it....

wow now this was a ramble post!!!

however you can convert a person out of Sikhi, that part is really easy... it really doesn't require much effort... none what so ever, just fill them up with Doubt.. b/c doubt eradicates Love and Faith...
