here are some photos from the joy is now tour, when they stopped by in atlanta….

Wow i’m so blissed out right now, Just got back from Summer Solstice… Such a crazy week hehe =) so much karma i had to go to. I missed Solstice Sunday Gurdwara, b/c my ignition distributor coil was shot…, but one of the benefits to intern here at Sikhnet, is that i’m able to go through all the recordings, of the Morning Sadhanas and Gurdwaras… the first track i came across, was one, which was done by my very two close friends, Siri Amrit Singh Ji and Bibi Nirinjan Kaur Ji , its the shabad, Kita Loriea kaam For Shabd Translation to feel free to listen to the audio =)

so things have been crazy here with in the little town of Espanola. For the past of couple days, i’ve been blessed to go to the ranch, and learning from Bibi Ji Yesterday Bibi Ji taught me how to make Aloo Pranthas… =) now i just have to learn how to actually make dough…. D’Oh! i’m still surprised by the amount of energy Bibi Ji has, yesterday she was up at 6AM, and kept on going till 11PM, and then this morning she woke up and up and ready at 6AM for another long day….
Besides that there was so much going on here in Espanola…. Prof Surinder Singh (Raj Academy Vale) along with jathedar vadanti (akal takhat sahib) come down in sangat. So much crazy energy, but early this morning there was Gurdwara at the Ranch…
Chardi Kala Jatha and Raj Academy did keertan, it was rather interesting seeing the transition of Keertan styles, Taanti Saaj to Harmonium to Song of the Khalsa….

oh also it really helps knowing Punjabi here in espanola =). i;ve been blessed to see alot of duality lol hehe and staying clear away from it, and also lots of politics to, so much intensity as the times change.. as we transition to the beginning of the end of KalYug, alot of this stuff is going to clear up…. just a couple more years and it will all fade out, all the corruption and all the politics and duality of dharma. being here last night with everyone really made me miss Baba ji and the Jatha (Baru Sahib Vale)

Also i have to pack up tonight and i’m off to Mountain top for Summer Solstice Sadhana Celebration… i’m so not ready lol! let see Bana, Dhumallas, House Turbans, Kakkars, Gutkas, Water Bottles, Blanket, Sleeping Bag, flash light, Towel, Toiletries….

As of right now i sit in the offices of Sikhnet LLC, working on random tasks, which ease the transition of Sikhnet to its new version 2.0. its been about two and half days working here, trying to find my niche, in where i fit in the office. It still surprises me how much this team does, with only 3 people here in Espanola and one person in Chandigarh.
Yet some interesting highlights which occurred with in the past two days…
• yesterday We (Gurumustuk, Gurujot, and I) interviewed Ms. Shanti Kaur Ji, it was so amazing.

now its been a real busy week, and now Gurujot is in the UK.  i just have to catch up with video editing and other random tidbits…

now well yesterday i went on a 8 mile mountain hike, to celebrate memorial day or was it  labor day.  i wasn’t too certain, but it took 4 hours to climb up 4 miles….  coming back was rather excitingly dangerous.   if we were delayed by another 15 minutes we would have hiked the last mile in the complete darkness…

well i have to get back to work. take care yall.

Wanted to wish everyone a happy vaisakhi.
also wanted to let every one know that i got registered & payedfor Summer Solstice, i’ll be in the kitchen.
peace and blessings

now its official, i’ve got the unofficial welcome to Atlanta… Last night sometime between Midnight through Sunrise, my car was broken in to. The thief was only interested in my CD Player and all my CDs , which i bought from Spirit Voyage booth at this year’s Winter Solstice. So all and all… i got a broken Window, Stolen CD Player and finally 3 CDs, roughly 160 Dollars worth of stuff. The Automobile window repairman just finished installing my car window…. i can’t help to laugh that the track that i was listening to was Har Bhajan Kaur’s Track Sarab Nirantar Nirantar Ji…

As I read the words and try to assimilate and comprehend the Divine word and Divinity of Guru Ram Daas Ji… I have a hard time figuring that even with in this thief Waheguru resides. It so weird and sad that in this day , that we say oh God we love we Love you, but as soon as something happens and we get frustrated we start pointing fingers and blame the other person for our Misery, yet we fail to realize that the only one we have to blame is ourselves…

Looking further for the answer to my question of how and why? my soul automatically starts hearing Jap Ji specifically this pauree….

Its so odd but now it makes sense… Even with in this thief perse you were with him Guru Ji, Sabh Mai Jot Jot Hai Sohee, as you told us and tell us every night =) its so odd and i felt kind of bad for the thief because the CDs he or she stole were all of keertan… perhaps his/her soul was yearning to sing God’s praises =) …

titles such as Destiny By Yogi Bhajan Ji, The Journey Home By GuruNam Singh , and finally Servant of the Heart By Sat Hari Singh and Hari Bhajan Kaur… i can’t just help it, it makes me laugh how all this was planned, the Servant of the Heart was Destinied for Thy’s Journey Home lol….. God really has an awesome sense of humor, i kid you not. It just as if the thief’s soul and the wanted to sing and hear God’s praises….

It was kinda of frustrating that i was about to curse the thief then i remembered how  the pauree before hand, Guru Ji describes those fortunate Souls which get the bliss and pyaar from doing the proper things in life….

this is such a strong contrast, with  in earlier this week,  where i was so fortunate and well Guru Ji completely covered me or “poora rakhed” me, It was so weird on Monday when I was working on two papers for class in the library, and a Punjabi Bhenna was shocked that i was punjabi, she thought i was a “Persian Sufi Mystic =)” simply hilarious lol…. Then on Tuesday my Level 1 KRI Teacher training book came in the mail , then on Wednesday  I had to give a presentation on “Ethical Behavior & Public Trust” Guru Ji still held me close…..  then later Weds night the break in….  I am so grateful to Rabh’s Mehr and Kirpa on my bemukhness & pakhandhi ways,  still waheguru lets me worship Thy… i’m so not worth it….

I still can’t get over the get over the stark contrast of the week and of how the paurees of 17th and 18th are right beside each other with in Japji, just the same way how little children and Adults ask “If there’s a God, why is there suffering?”  Yet then at the very next pauree:

Guru Nanak Dev Ji explains it as with Out God’s Divinity there’s nothing… Nothing is Good Nothing is Bad…. cause its all from Thy….  its so amazing i can’t help but laughing in the sense there so much contract with in this World and its so amazing how Guru Ji maharaj just states it like that with in Bani =). it still amazes me that its only been roughly 500 years since this was written and even back then , things were as crazy as they are now a days =)

Also it was weird last night there was a Full Lunar Eclipse along with Mercury went in retrograde as well, oh the times are a changing, as we progress into the transition into the new Age of Aquarius, so much more crazy things are happening.  In the end i still feel really bad about the theif, because even though those CDs cost me 60 bucks, at the Pawn Shop he’ll barely get 15 probably….  anyways where ever you are thief i hope you are doing well and i hope that it will be in your Destiny that  you shall listen to the keertan,  and it shall Serve Your Heart and Lead you to your Journey Home….
