How the word 'Waheguru' changed my life...

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਈ, ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਕਰਿ ਧਿਆਨ || 
ਮੁਕਤਿ ਲਾਭ ਸੋ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ, ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਰਿਦਿ ਮਹਿ ਮਾਨ || 
waheguru gur jaapa-ee, waheguru kar dhi-aan. 
mukat laabh so ho-ee hai, gursikh ridh meh maan. 
"Contemplate upon the gur(mantar) Waheguru and focus upon (the sound) Waheguru. The (resulting) principal benefit the Gursikh will savour in their heart."
(Bhai Nand Lal Singh)

Interview with Bibi Amritpal Kaur jee from USA at the Española, New Mexico Gurdwara after 3HO Summer Solstice 2012. 

ਉਦਮੁ ਕੀਆ ਕਰਾਇਆ ਆਰੰਭੁ ਰਚਾਇਆ ॥
 udam keeaa karaaiaa aarambh rachaaiaa. 
Just as the Guru gave me encouragement to make an effort, I made the effort and made (the effort of chanting Naam) the beginning. 

ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪੇ ਜਪਿ ਜੀਵਣਾ ਗੁਰਿ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇਆ ॥੧॥ 
naam jape jap jeevnaa gur mantar driraaiaa. ||1|| 
The Guru has firmly implanted the Naam-Mantra within me; now I have obtained spiritual life through chanting and meditating on the Naam. 
(And 399)




Dhan Hai Guru! Dhan Hai Teree Sikhee!
