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)

January 10th, 2008fun with a 10.5 fisheye lens

Yesterday i rented a Nikkor 10.5 f/2.8 prime lens. Then i went off to Ms. Gurudarshan Kaur’s House, then we end up shooting here is the  Photo Gallery .  I did not realize how much fun this could actually be.

  It just felt so great to be lost in taking pictures with a wide angle lens.  Or even striking a smooth pose under the guidance of ms.gurudarshan ji….  afterwards i felt like a little child, tapping in to my divinity.  it was such an awesome feeling just to be able to tap in to my creativity….  the whole time, gurudarshan ji and i just kept on laughing the whole time running around like little kids =).  it was an unreal experience.  I think this may be the next lens i buy. 

 

Lets see Graduate School is going swell, classes are interesting, there are some difficult parts i am not too sure but most definitely  will have to work hard for it.   Lets see what else i’m still trying to find a job.  So yesterday i started up my 40 day sadhana for the post White Tantric Solstice…  this morning i had a rough time waking up, so i was not too sure whether i should have committed to my practice and do my practice… then i went to Guru Ji and took a hukam to see whether or not i should do my practice then Guru Ji blesses me with this amazing hukam, oh i love you guru nanak ji….
