Universal Spirituality In A Sikh Spirit


Spirituality should be inclusive of it’s Socio-Political set-Up. Humanity is designed by the Omni-creator to live as a collaboration of worldly righteousness and spiritual morality. I have found the perfect alliance of material life and soul-being of humanity within Sikhi philosophy; hence, my choice to write about individual growth with balance of tangible desires and […]

World ‘Might Begin To Notice : A Hopeful Glimpse


When the cloud shrouds over the sky, it may seem dark, but it’s not night. And that’s what a defiant patch of sunshine proves, however small. It restores hope in the radiance of life, which might not have yet dawned.I could describe the reality of the Sikh struggle for freedom in the same fervour. There […]

Blind Belief vs Absolute Trust : My Perspective As A sikh


(To my readers: I have changed the title of the post to suit the subject matter better.) I feel that belief, faith and trust are not interchangeable terms, but different stages between desire and destination. A wish arises as a harmless hope, and gradually turns into a stubborn passion that one easily mistakes for a […]

December, A Month Of Divine Birth & Sublime Martyrdom: A Thought As A sikh


It may seem like the law of contrariety is in force when observing the two divergent events marked in the same month of December by two different religious bases: the birth of Jesus and the martyrdom of the family of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh ji.But it rather symbolises the eternal glow ignited […]

Candle That Casts A Shadow: A Prespective As A Sikh


It’s been longer than I intended since my last post. Between this and that, life goes on aboard the silent vehicle of time. But I’ll try to enclose the distance by covering some of the main events and reflecting on them in the next few posts.There was ‘Bandhi-Chorh’ celebrations amongst the Sikh community, on the […]

Innocence Shattered In The Human Jungle: My Perspective As A Sikh


I am sharing a very emotional post today, and so I’ll dive in without elaborate prefatory introductions.The crime I am going to describe in this article is so chilling that it kills humanity on so many levels.While Panjab is drowning under the man-created floods in the Indian occupied territory, vultures in different guises are already […]

From Your Lips To God’s Ears: A Perspective As A Sikh


Till a prayer is merely a ritual of reciting a prescribed religious syllabus, it remains a wishy-washy, wishful thinking. Until a prayer is motivated by a self-centred, obstinate wish, it remains an illusion. Till a prayer is used as a mirror for a blind passion, it remains a delusion.Unfortunately, most of us misdefine prayer and […]
