Happy Vaisakhi 2011 :o)



On the rolling hills of Anandpur in 1699...


my hawk bearing master unsheathed a sword and let it shine.. from this very moment the lion within was awoken.. a body could be sawn alive but the faith would never be broken... such is the Khalsa that to this age remains true.... in its glory i wish a Happy Vaisakhi!

This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Bilaaval on Pannaa 828

*Happy International Turban Day*

I love the One's dastaar
When he smiles
When he laughs
His Dastaar does too

When he is sad
To me his Dastaar
Lifts him up
Up to being Maharaj's son

Love the One's dastaar
Hope one day I can wear the dastaar
My true crown
Where I want to be.......



Turban Adventure

My turban is
having one of those days;
in an awkward phase,
tied ten different ways,
causing eyebrows to raise
and eyeballs to gaze.

My turban is
proof that persistence pays.

My turban is
a celestial smile,
beaming for miles and miles;
an eternal style,
not some casual trial
by a fickle child.

My turban is
always worth my while.

My turban is
a spiritual facelift,
suave and swift;
a fabric forklift,
fit to uplift
over every rift.

My turban is
Guru Gobind Singh’s gift.

My turban is
a cool, sacred sheet,
wrapped pleat by pleat,
nice and neat;
a warm, winding street,
leading me to the Guru’s feet.

My turban is
now complete.
