Gurvinderpal Singh

well isn’t that a catchy title, no there isn’t anything really new going on with me. well not that i can really think of except i haven’t given much thought about it… after all of yoga and course and classes i’ve come to realize one thing… when you look for joy outside of yourself you’re setting yourself up for pain & failure… With all that attention externally it’s like building castles out of sand on the beach…. but if you aim that attention and “Dhyan” inward then you are set….”

As Maharaj states over and over in bani..”Thir Ghar Baseo Harjan Pyaray SatGur Tumarray Kaaj Savarray”

I found this sweet sakhi on Sikh sangat.com
its really interesting =)

Once Bahadar Shah asked Guru Gobind Singh Jee:
“In Islam it is believed that if any person, despite how deviant, evil or sinful becomes a Muslim and instills withing faith on the Prophet Muhammad, reads the Kalma (verse from the Qu’ran) that in the Court of Allah that person’s sins and misdeeds will be washed away. Guru Sahib what are your views on this?”

Before answering, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib pulled out a coin from his pocket. He then gave it to his Sikh and signaled him to buy something from the Bazar (Market) with it.

A few minutes later, the Sikh returned back from the market. The Sikh came to Guru Sahib and said:
“Maharaj, this coin was not accepted at the Market.”

Satguru Jee picked up the coin and looking at said, “Why is this coin not accepted at the Bazar? It is made by the Emperor’s mint, and Bahadar Shah’s stamp is on it. Its outward appearance is also okay. So why wasn’t it accepted at the Bazar? Pass the coin to Bahadar Shah for him to have a look at it ask him to tell us what is wrong or lacking in this coin.”

It is said that while holding and examining the coin, Bahadar Shah said to Guru Jee, “Maharaj it is true that this coin was minted in my taksal (mint), that it is has been stamped and that the print is perfectly correct. Everything is okay. However despite this, the coin will be accepted in the Market because however the amount of pure gold there should be coating the coin, is insufficient in this one . Basically its inside is false, wrong.”

Guru Gobind Singh Jee then said to Bahadar Shah, “Badshah, you have now received the answer to your question.”

He replied:
“Maharaj, I don’t understand. Please explain to me in deeper detail.”

Satguru Jee said:
“Despite, whichever taksal (mint) the coin is minted and stamped by, If the coin is “kohtta”, false or inaccurate inside, it will not be accepted in the market. Similiarly if a person is “kohtta”, false, inside then he will not be accepted in the Court of Waheguru, despite whether he has the stamp of being a Muslim, Hindu or Sikh. Whether stamped as Christian or labelled as another religion, if we are not pure inside then we are not worthy of being accepted in God’s court.”

Here is some great information from my friend Deva Singh about a new wholistic program to assist with substance abuse recovery.

“For over 5 years now I have been working in substance abuse recovery field along with my millions of other activities. It is truly one of the most rewarding fields to work in and I have found that Kundalini Yoga is always the cornerstone of a persons growth, change and development. After doing it a number of years independently, a couple of friends and I realized that there was such a huge national and global need in this area for the technology of Kundalini Yoga, we decided to start up a 40 day relapse recovery program called Whole Self Recovery. It is all based on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan and I have been working closely with Mukta Kaur the director of Superhealth as well.

The Whole Self program is a holistically based program which utilizes the 40 day herbal Cleanse, a regimented organic vegetarian diet with fresh juices, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, counseling and most importantly Kundalini Yoga. We have been doing it for over a year now with incredible results. Some people have stated that 40 days of this program was like a years worth of time at Bette Ford. The largest foundational piece has been the awakening of the individuals souls. Once that is no longer dormant and asleep, the person is no longer able to live an unconscious life without being aware of the repercussions of their actions. We made the program a minimum of 40 days because we all know that it takes a at least 40 days to break a habit and it has been scientifically proven that is the length of time to legitimately rewire the brain.  It works on cleansing the body of residual toxic buildup, purifying the mind and reprogramming unhealthy thought patterns and awakening the spirit. Here is a quote from one of our participants:

“After months at different treatment centers around the country, I know Whole Self offers the most well-rounded, comprehensive, holistic approach to healing available. Their team of healers is not only highly qualified, but also compassionate and uniquely dedicated to uplifting, energizing and bringing out the best in each individual. For anyone who truly desires and is ready to change their life, Whole Self is unprecedented in its ability to provide powerful tools and support in an incredibly loving and profoundly life-altering program. In my opinion, Whole Self has created the temple for a new paradigm in therapy.” JJ

If you know anyone needing or seeking help in this area, please have them contact me at deva@spiritvoyage.com. As it is my life’s mission to heal and strengthen each individual to fulfill their own purpose.

May God bless us all with happiness, abundant health and most especially a deep sense of holy spiritual self.

i wanted to let you know of an incident that happened to me today at Trader Joes,
I was in line, with my friend, at the check out counter, and all of a sudden an older woman askes me

Lady: “Do you know Guru Sahay Singh Khalsa?”
Me: “why yes i do, how do you know him if you dont mind me asking, is it through healing work?”
Lady: “Oh no, he’s been sending me people, i work for Adv (something) for Christ,
he’s a really good friend”
Me: Oh whats your name?
Lady: My name is [Void], and i’ve known Guru sahay for 30 years,
Me: “Oh did the white gave it away, that i knew Guru Sahay, ( i was wearing a small white house dhumalla and white chola)
Void : “Nope it wasn’t the white,[then with a big smile she sayes] i could just feel it off of you”
Me: Waheguru!

so i thought you’d find awesome oh how i love bana

Someone told me: I often wonder if I would have remained a believer, had I been given the meaning of the spoken words at the gurdwara…

Then i wrote:
haha i often think about the same thing…
and in the end i realize that
there is nothing in the gurdwara that i learned…

and the odd part is that, i’m not a believer, and i find
that the less ‘belief” you have the better you are..
cause in the end that’s all taht matters

your experience, why should i believe in someone
else’s own experience… and believe what
their reality was…

when in the end all that matters is mine.
and the Kal that i have been given is
allowing me to experience Akaal

i thought i’d share this with ya’ll, its the lavaan, other wise known as the four rounds around the Guru let see
oh i went to Wordle and just got a translation of
the Lavaan, and just created one of these cool designs. perhaps it could make an awesome
wall paper, here is the Original Size
