June 20th, 2008Busy Busy Busy Busy!

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….

May 27th, 2008Espanola….

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.

January 19th, 2008No raensbahee…

so after i wrote the prior post, i went outside.  Then it started snowing, article in local Atlanta paper  i made it to Daras bhen ji’s house. It took a little long than usual, but it was fun driving 70mph in the snow =)  i made to her house in about 30 mins =).  so then we waited for Gagandeep Veer Ji and Ravneet bhen ji so that didn’t happen. we didn’t end up making out to the raensabhee.  so instead we did keertan at bhen ji’s house.  I also threw a couple of snowballs in a chola and lohee….. boy it was cold =/  oh yea you all wanted a photo from the other night.

January 12th, 2008interesting time at gurudwara

i had quite the interesting time at gurudwara tonight.  It was pretty funny, earlier this afternoon, i realized that there would be sangat at guru ghar.  Then I wasn’t too sure whether or not i should go or not.  Then Guru Nam Singh Ji, said its sangat you should def go.  So somehow i made to Roswell gurdwara in 20  mins.  So it was rougly 5 minutes before 7pm but everything was dark.  Then i called up cheenu didi, on what i should do, then she gave me the code for the key… and told me to go ahead do parkash of Guru Ji maharaj, So it was quite interesting, and amazing that Guru Ji blessed me with that seva =) i’m so not worthy anyways.  So ardaas, parkaash, and hukam, were finished around 7:15, still i was not too sure what else to do, nor was i sure what time sangat would be arriving.  So then Guru Ji  told me to do Sukhmani Sahib Paath (More Info about the bani).  so there i was all alone in guru ka ghar…. reading sukhmani sahib paath from Guru Ji maharaj =) wasn’t actually to sure where in Guru Ji maharaj the bani started.  So i just asked guru ji to lead me to the proper page…. I had an inkling that it was some where in the mid 200′s.  Then as i turned the angs of Guru Ji to that area i saw this…

 Oh the words of Baba Sri Chand Ji =) hehe well the transliteration is a bit off… its Hai Bhaay Sach Nanak Hosee Bhaay Sach =) anyways so then it was such a blessed feeling that Guru Ji led me to that Salok… Yogi Bhajan explained in one of his lectures about the story between Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Baba Sri Chand  Ji =).  How Guru Arjan Dev Ji had a bit of writer’s block, and asked Baba Sri Chand to help him with this, then Baba Sri Chand denied stating “That this is Guru Ji’s Bani, who am i?” Guru Arjan Dev Ji then replies ” No this (bani) belongs to the house of Guru Nanak, and you are his son! thus this you are a part of this too, you have to help me”  Then Baba Sri Chand started reciting the Aad Sach Jugad Sach Hai bhaee Sach Nanak Hosee Bahee Sach… 

Then Yogi Bhajan explains that the difference between bhaee sach and Bee sach, is simple,  the Bhaee Sach means that “What ever block you have in life will be broken through and all grace shall come to you, as if it was gushing down a waterfall. ” =)

 so back to my time at gurdwara there I was reading Sukhmani sahib, 45 mins in i reached the 10th pauree still no sangat, wondering what i should do… a family comes in and see that i’m the only one they do maatha (bow) and then they continue on with there nightly plans.  so then right as i say Bhalla bhalla tera roop sundar…. nirmal nirmal tayree bani…. sangat starts coming in =)

 

it was so awesome i actually took some interesting photos of guru ji with the wide angle lens too.  I’ll be sure to post them up =)

its getting late now either to sleep or start on sadhana =) maybe a quick catnap… anyways                        many blessings and stay blessed =)
