ONLY READ THIS IF YOU ARE AT UNI,& you DRINK,SMOKE SKUNK & LOVE LIVING LIFE!!!
People may think I'm crazy, but I feel so high from sikhi, its just that it
hard to feel it when you don't realise what this "thing" called Sikhi is so
great.
When I started getting into Sikhi 2 years ago, all my knowledge of sikhi was a
photo of Guru Nanak in my front room. I used to love uni, man all the late
nightclubs, checking out the ladies, rolling the skunk & keeping sweet with all
the lads.
Trimming the goatee beard and gelling the hair …..and putting on the badest
garms ..man I’m just smiling writing this.
It was a good laugh man , blazing up the reffa’s and chilling to
Redman,Wu-Tang. Many people don’t realise how happy House and Garage can make
you high, such a buzz when you see the dance floor packed with people of all
colours & creeds.
At uni we always used to go to the library with the thought of “yeah man,got
assignment to do,well go to the library from 10 o’clock to 4 and then go to
happy hour, what happened we used to get there at 10.30,scratch our heads
thinking of what books to get by 11 would have gone out for a quick ciggy by 12
aaah let’s go to the bar to see whose there…and that’s was party time again ….
Clubs were wicked coz now I look back and think if it weren’t for my mates and
if it were’t for the gigs, I wouldn’t have been here today. I always had my
conscience battering me sayin “Don’t do this don’t do that†but I always
ignored it coz that’s what my mind loved doing.
Uni is tough man especially when you walk around behind shadows of everyone
else,no one knows weather they are coming or going.
If anybody asked what religion I was I would hold up my kara and say “I am a
sikh†then I used to such a hypocrite, when I used to see a “PUGWALA (smoking
and drinking I used to get so p****ed of & used to cuss him, and when I used
to see sikh girls drinking or smoking I used to think, damn man I gotta marry
one of these girls one day “and she ain;t gonna be smoking or drinkingâ€
I always thought if one day i do become a singh,i won;t be like that dodgy singh
Then after a 3 years heavy sessioning, I was getting sick of the same routine,
get up bill up, and chill do assignments and driving up and down uni road’s
trying to look bad!
Man there must be more to life I always asked myself, and today I can say
clearly there is!! But you don’t know why because it’s not your fault.
Can you believe it the first time I ever heard of sikh society was in the bar
whilst I was holding my pint of cider, well neither can I.
And you know what I done I ignored it ,I thought that Sikhi is not for me I am
a bad person, who drinks, smokes and eats meat,â€WHAT THE HELL WILL I HAVE IN
COMMON WITH ANYONE ELSE AT SIKH SOC THEY WILL JUDGE,ME & CUSS ME FOR BEING A
CUT HAIR SINGH WANNA BE!!!!!!!
Waheguru …today’s my bro’s and sista’s, different story I went to the Sikh soc
and I can’t tell you in this email of how much today I feel for you lot out
there!! Who don’t realise WHO you are & WHAT your heritage is!
!!!!!!!!I HOPE YOU CARRY ON READING THIS MAIL!!!!!!!!!!
The first time I ever listened to kirtan (with English translation) tears
dropped from my eyes, the first site I ever read on sikhi shocked my entire
body, the first hair that I let to grow on my body gave me power.
From then onwards my heart and mind no longer, longed for the taste of
ciggeretes and alcohol!
Waheguru….all this education and love that Guru Gobind Singh the king of kings
had for me just kept pulling me closer and closer, I kept reading the websites
on sikh history http://www.sikh-hisory.com and listening to kirtan
http://www.sikhnet.com, even today I can’t understand what it means but I
sometimes burst out in tears of love.
I never reliased that Guru Granth sahib was NOT just a book and IS MY GURU. I
used to read the history of the Great SikH Women, who used to have there baby’s
chopped up into little pieces and hung around there necks, beaten and raped to
be forced into converting to Islam…but they never gave up there faith in the
Guru ji. I remember reading the story of Bhai Taru Singh who said the
executioner “You can chop of my head ,but not my hair or beard be cutâ€â€¦.I
recall story’s of Banda Singh Bahadhur having his 8 year old son’s heart being
ripped out in forced into to his mouth to make him convert….my brother and
sista’s your
HISTORY,YOUR HERITAGE IS SO GREAT BUT NO ONE WILL EVER TELL YOU IT
JUST MAKE THE EFFORT TO READ A WEB SITE(do a search) OR LEARN A SHORT
STORY,TAKE OUT 10 minutes a week anything read a leaflet or shabad from
http://www.sikhitothemax.com and do a word search
I used to think what will happen to the gurdwara’s in 10-15years time, I used
to think that if I DON’T CARE ABOUT SIKHI ,THEN WHO WILL!!!
Today with God’s grace, I like many other young Sikhs in he UK who come from a
similar background ‘s are saying to yourselves WAKE UP help outyour sikh soc
and local community anf family's.
You are the future you, are Lions and You are Princess’s and through You Sikhi
will flourish, you are the next MP’s you are the next policy makers,
You are torch of Guru ji don’t let that torch blow out!
I WOULD AT THIS POINT LOVE TO CARRY ON BUT I GUESS YOUR ALL GETTING TIREDWaheguru ji ka khalsa, (The khalsa belongs to God)
Waheguru ji ke fateh (The victory belongs to God)
