Amrit Sanchar

The Lawrenceville Gurudwara Sahib celebrated Vaisakhi with a very special four day program. The program started Friday the 11th with the arambhta of the Akhand Paath at 5 am and our Friday divan at 7 pm. Saturday morning the Gurudwara held its second Amrit Sanchar ceremony in 6 months where 5 members of the sadh sangat took khandeh bateh da amrit. Sunday was the bhog of the Akhand Paath followed by the changing of the Guru Ghars Nishaan Sahib vaastars. Tonight, April 14th we commemorate the birth of the khalsa with a special keertan divan from 7 - 10 p.m. by our Hazoori Raagi Jatha Bhai Parkash Singh Jee and Jatha.

Guru Sahib Dee Sajee Nivaajee Saadh Sangat nu, Vaisakhi dee lakh lakh vadayee hoveh!! Let’s commemorate this day of the Birth of the Khalsa Panth by doing even more naam simran and reading more bani!

ਪੂਰਨ ਜੋਤ ਜਗੈ ਘਟ ਮੈ ਤਬ ਖਾਲਸ ਤਾਹਿ ਨਖਾਲਸ ਜਾਨੈ ॥

ਜਾਗਿਤ ਜੋਤਿ ਜਪੈ ਨਿਸ ਬਾਸੁਰ ਏਕ ਬਿਨਾ ਮਨ ਨੈਕ ਨ ਆਨੈ ॥

ਪੂਰਨ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਤ ਸਜੈ ਬ੍ਰਤ ਗੋਰ ਮੜ੍ਹੀ ਮਟ ਭੂਲ ਨ ਮਾਨੈ ॥

ਤੀਰਥ ਦਾਨ ਦਯਾ ਤਪ ਸੰਜਮ ਏਕ ਬਿਨਾ ਨਹਿ ਏਕ ਪਛਾਨੈ ॥

-Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Jee, 33 Swayya, Page 291

Such a man, in whose heart shines the full Divinely Radiant Light is a True a pure Khalsa
He the Khalsa meditates on the Ever-radiant Ligh, day and night, and reject all else but the one Lord from the mind
He decorates himself with perfect love and faith, and believed not in fasts, tombs, crematoriums and hermit cells, even by mistake.
He knows none except the one Lord in the performance of acts of pilgrimmage, charities, compassion, austerities and self-control.
