and try it out what I should write you… it seemed like a hiatus for only two weeks… turned out three months… yet now It seems that time and space have opened another spot to be an intertwined within their own divinity to realized my infinity… he was merely a dream just a figment of my imagination as I wakeup and rose from my slumber… grind off the blankets of maya… it’s usually within my consciousness and I chant and chant ” sat nam”… I realize the veil has been put into violence at the same time I refuse looking at the divine light… I write myself off as unworthy… yet as of right now and on this day… I declare that I am bountiful, blissful, and beautiful!!! and so are you!
its funny how Guru ji presents Thyself… when you break down “Guru” meanings from Dark to Lightness. when ever we go through the “Khatia Dukh Bukh Sad Maar, Eh Be Daat Tayree Datar” stages of life, its always hurt so much, we get frustrated b/c our Ego gets tested over and over, yet this is the beauty of it, as we go through the horrible pain and agony of the transition, we do banis, meditations, kriyas, keertan, gatka, kundalini yoga, some sort of sadhana to remind us that Guru ji is Ang Sang.
In our darkest moments we bring that Light of Guru, or gyan, to bring that trans formative creative energy of Waheguru/God to help up release what ever bonds or patterns or fantasy we had trapped with in our psyches, and finally we are able to release it, and after wards just utter “waheguru”….
finally being able to break through and be the light house…
I know its been a while since i have actually been able to keep you all, entertained with my peculiar views upon life. yet reflecting back at all the Karmas which have arose with in my life, in the past 9 months, definately has been an incredible journey. learning the extent of the nit&grit of my Haumai. I offer these simple words or advive to anyone before making commitment of wearing bana, not to have a single ounce of duality with in themselves or their own self-worth. For there is even the smallest amount of, with one’s self, Maya will try to consume you whole. also one realize that with Bana the only friend one has, is Guru. For the prior night i also learned the concept of Love. its rather simple. To give completely without expecting anything in return, granted this is the definition of Seva, however many of us, think of Seva just on the grounds of Langaar or with in Gurdwara. Yet to do each and every action, without having the expectation of requiring anything returned back to you, just shows how selffish you are. still these practices we learn all of our lives, yet for some reason, we refuse to accept it. Yet Guru Ji teaches to only rely upon God&Guru. for if we rely upon others we have duality with in outselves, and we are turning this very Dharam in to a Karam. Its so funny i always loved listening to Siri Singh Sahib Ji’s punjabi lectures, when he went on his punjabi “rant” stating how we punjabi sikhs, have turned the sikhi dharm in to a massive karam. so sad so sad. anyways sadhana! so much fun, how about yourself?
I thought i’d share with everyone, Bhai Sukha Singh ji Mahakal wale’s newest Katha Program,this is from the Bir Raas Darbar. Sukha Singh ji speaks about Kalgidhar Vale’s Bania and has so much gyanalso the katha has english with alot of punjabi as well.The Punjabi is booth sauokhi (easy) to understand =) .Take care[audio:http://www.gurvinderpal.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/Akali_Nihang_Sukha_Singh_Ji_-_Sri_Dasam_Guru_Granth_Sahib_Ji_Katha_-_Bir_Ras_Darbar.mp3] Download Mp3 of Katha
Note that i got them mp3 of this katha from the Front Line Punjabi Youth they had the Katha hosted on a Spam Server with 45 second waiting time, and slow bandwidth.
this morning after an awesome sadhana =) i got an eerie hukam from Guru Angaad Dev Ji, which once again summed up my life. its primarily the first shabad, the Salok Mehal Dooja, anyways i thought i would share with all.
i know everyone must be thinking, how come gurvinderpal hasn’t posted anything else, except for hukams and shabads? i apologize it just that things have been busy with me. with school, job stuff, and the society stuff.Lets see oh umm with my regular nitnem i added a lil kundalini yoga action, and restarted doing ‘sudarshan chakkar kriya’ for those who do not know what that is, its the highest kriya its also in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji on ang 1162 i think? you can download the PDF from here (you can thank Sikhnet Youth forms for providing that seva =) ) hopefully i’ll be able to keep it permanently part of my regiment =). changa
I thought i’d share with everyone one of my favorite shabds. i know a lot of people have been going through some crazy times. A lot of singhs and kaurs have been going through their “Kathia DukH Bukh Sadh Maar Eh Bhe Daat Tayree Dataar” stages of their spirituality. alot of sangat i’ve spoken to has noticed that time has been speeding up and picking up, i started noticing it in the fall of 2004 or was it 2002, actually and nowadays everything is so crazy and the world is getting more nuts and people are getting more neurotic and just odd.
however this shabad always has a way of centering me and letting my soul… i just located one of my favorite Gurbani CDs, it was by the “Jatha”… the Baru Sahib Bibia Di Jatha…. it was one of their first Cds i think…. incidentally enough it featured “Tu Kahey DHolay Prania” and it was the name of the CD as well. Now i remember why i loved this Cd so much, it was right after the first year of the Akal International Gurmat Youth Camp back in 2004, and we had just returned from our Yatra from Amritsar and Anandpur Sahib…. a few of us campers decided to give our heads to Kalgidhar Paadhsha, and receive his Khand Di Phul… I remembered i was so scared because i could barely read Jap Ji… and i asked Nirmal Bhen Ji “what should i do, i know when i go back to America, Sikhi isn’t going to be as easy, amrit velas are going to be hard, sangat isn’t going to be supportive… i’ll be alone and missing Baru Sahib and Baba ji soo much…” Nirmal Bhen Ji just looks at me and smiles and says;”Gurvinderpal when ever you are feeling alone or missing baru sahib, just listen to these….” Then she opens up a locker and hands me 5 Cds of the Jatha, there were 3 Dhaadi Vaar Cds, one Nitnem Cd (which completely saved me), and this gurbani raag Cd….
so whenever i hear this shabad my Ego Shuts up and i just start up my sunnia and mannia and just placed back in to baru sahib and just reminded of the love and awesome “divine energy” hehe =) and oh ya of baba ji too =) anyways i thought i would share this with everyone =)
words of advice, if you want to meditate, just sit in easy pose with hands in prayer pose, or apply gyan mudra on both hands and just breath deeply. Also if you are doing Su Darshan Chakar Kriya or any pranayama i recommend listening to this shabad, and as you inhale just remind your self… that these breathes God gives you, Thy Gives you Prana (the divine breath, so breathe in)
