Sikhs: Being the Best They Can Be
Reflections
Two of my fellow Sidakers from the class of 2012 have written wonderful blog posts that are succinct and tell you concisely what their Sidak experience was like.
The Three R’s
The following is an edited version of a lecture delivered by the author at an interfaith forum titled “Resistance, Rebellion & Revolution”, hosted by the Sikh Research Institute at San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A., on July 7, 2011 .
Education Is the First Step
We’d like to share two stories from a past Sidaker, to let them tell in their own words what the Sidak experience could mean for you.
Life at Thirty-Eight
On 31 July 1972, I was given a graceful opportunity to land on earth. Being of the Creator and Creation, I am to experience the Divine freedom while enjoying and living life to its fullest.
Sidak
Established in 2003 and located in San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A., SikhRI is a non-profit, faith-based initiative whose mission is to "facilitate training and development while inspiring Sikh values.
Sidak Experience
Vismadh. The feeling of pure awe, love, and inspiration. Even that definition doesn’t do justice to the true meaning of Vismadh. It took Guru Nanak Patshah an entire Salok to define and give an essence of what this sabad actually means.
Sahibzade
Recently, my six year old son was given an assignment to write about a holiday his family celebrates in December. Much to my surprise he chose the Shahadat (martyrdom) of Sahibzade (4 sons of Guru Gobind Singh in 1704).
Love Trumps Hate
867 “hate incidents” were reported in the ten days following Donald Trump as the United States (US) President-elect by Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a US advocacy group, terming it a “national outbreak of hate.”
You Are Divine
“You are Divine” says Guru Granth Sahib in order to trigger our journey on the path of awareness. With the realization of your divinity, you become one.
Curiosity is Intuition Directing Us
2016 was the year I came to the realization life no longer had joy. On the outside life was satisfying from every metric society would measure success by. Internally there was a discontentment with life.
The Best Within Us
Life has become so transactional these days. Wake up. Get kids ready. Send them off to school. Go to work. Attend client meetings. Respond to deadlines. Pick kids up. Run them to afterschool activities like swimming lessons, kung fu, music, etc.
