  1. Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh, I'm one of those folks who "converted" to Sikh 35 years ago. My son is 6 years old and born Sikh. He has his complete form of kesh, a joora, does mata techna to only SGGS Ji, and will only sit for langar after doing seva even after all the grownups are done. He said to me yesterday "Papa, we can't escape death, it is always with us." He said recently in response to hearing of a premature deah od a friend's father, "Live, Die, Live, Die, but your Soul lives forever, right." He loves the sword and when he is worried about the dark chants forcefully, "Sat Nam Sat Nam Ji Wahe Guru Wahe Guru Ji" as he scurries about. I was brought up in a home where God was a daily reality, my motehr had deep faith, never spoke a harsh word to anyone nor harbored a harsh thought. (No, really! Ask anyone who knew her.) My father left me a quote after his death, "Never hesitate to come to the aid of the unfortunate for fear of ingratitude." He spent his life fearlessly with courage even in the face of cruel torture by the Nazi's in WWII. I went through the '60's believing one person could make a difference and that united people could triumph over corruption and ego. When I was introduced to Sikhi by, yes, Yogi Harbhajan Singh, I know I had returned home in this life. Mention my name in the Sikh community in the Midwest or to Hazuri Ragis who have met me and you will never hear that I am anything more than a Gursikh. The Punajbi community took nearly 6 years to accept my authentic devotion to the Guru ( I always refer to the ONLY Guru, Satguru SSGS Ji as the Jot of Guru Nanak through Guru Gobind Singh). I find that if you believe in the teachings of SGGS start acting them. If you are willing to offer your head, which is what Guru Nanak asked for and Guru Gobind Singh demanded, then start today. It will take a while for you to tie a good turban. Just keep up. Practice makes purpose. I'd love to continue, but for now my son must go to bed and I am householder as prescribed by Rehit Maryada. Love to all peace to all life to all.
