Each and every story is so beautiful…thanks to all my veerji’s and phenji’s. So here is my story.

After my father died and years later my mom died and then my brother who was studying overseas embraced Islam.
My grandmother taught us how to do “Tu Mera Pita , Tu Mera Mata……”since childhood.
And used to on the Rehraas cassette in the evening while Japji Sahib in the morning. She used to get up at 5am to do her nitnem and sukmani sahib daily.

So there were me and grandmother left alone…..with no one ….grandmother was strong and she kept me strong….she said to me …..”Beta, take Guru ji’s sahara…. I went on studying and used to do my japji sahib and lots of lots of mool mantar…. Whenever I am in the bus to school or walking to school. I were a very quiet person. I used to speak to Guruji. Even though I can’t hear him but I knew that HE always listening to me.
Later part I went on studying in University and there I found friends who were Sikhs and they took care of me like a sister and used to take me along to the Gurdwara, but non of them were amridharis.

I started to have interest in doing more paath and doing more sewa. But I just didn’t have anyone to guide me it was just the gurdwara weekly satsang that I used to attend and my daily japji sahib. Every time when I used to see a singh in bana and dastar, I felt like crying…every time I hear kirtan …I used to cry. But after some time. I just didn’t give much attention to Sikhi… until I finished graduating …I started looking for a job…I was jobless for almost 7 months and then one day I did aardaas to GURU JI ..I cried so much….2 days later I got the job and I had the full faith in Guru Ji., I knew that HE helped me.
Then I found some friends who were the outgoing type of people. My interest in Sikhi went away again…..my friends were the one who goes around enjoying themselves and worry nothing about anything. But they were not the drinking or smoking type of people they were just average.

I felt that I was missing something or like missing somebody again. But I didn’t know what was it. Then I told my self that I want to go to the Gurwara and just want to do sewa only…..I kept on going gurdwara doing sewa and attending every “satsang “ possible , my friends thought that I was showing off trying to be a holy person….what do they know what I wanted. I took amrit and I felt that this is what that I have been looking for in my life. I left all my friends.
I started to get up amrit vela and I felt so beautiful about every thing….but I just used to feel very lonely and cry every time I think about my family.

Some friends from the Gurdwara introduced me to a beautiful Gursikh. He is my best friend until today…he guided me a lot on Sikhi and I started going to more satsang. He really taught me so much and shared a lot of knowledge
of sikhi. I saw GOD in him. I thank Guru ji for making this guy as my husband. He is the best person that I have ever met in my life. Thank you GURUJI…..for a wonderful life.

I have gone through so much in life….struggled to find the something that I was missing….finally I found the sangat that I wanted to be with and I feel as if Guru Sahib has taken me into him arms.
