I met Bhenji Kiran Kaur Ji and her husband,
Bhaji Harjinder Singh Ji, at Khalsa Camp 2014. Since then, they both
took Amrit and now enjoying the Guru’s Path. Below is bhenji’s story of
her journey to Sikhi:
“My journey of how I came in to Sikhi…
I
grew up in a very western family. My dad would go out every weekend,
drink alcohol, eat meat etc. Seeing all these things as I was growing up
made it normal for us. However, my inner voice was always telling me
something is not right, there must be more to life then this.
A
few years later I had some addiction problems and really struggled. I
didn’t know how to deal with my emotions, so I just spiralled out of
control, from one addiction to another. I asked a Gursikh for help and
he told me to spend time at the Gurdwara Sahib and Saadh Sangat, which
really did help. Shortly after, I met my husband, who was a true
diamond. He came to me at the right time. My husband became interested
into Sikhi, and kept his Kes and started following Sikhi.
We both
attended Khalsa Camp UK in 2014. At the time, I was living a completely
different lifestyle and was used to having a different type of Sangat
that I actually didn’t want to go. However, my husband really wanted to
go. I thought going to the Khalsa Camp, all these religious people will
judge me. However, I was so wrong in believing that. All the Gursikhs at
Khalsa Camp were so loving and welcoming. They were always smiling and
some of them actually related to my story before taking Amrit.
Attending
Khalsa Camp UK gave me a different look and hope to life. I ended up
changing my Sangat and having loving Gursikhs become part of my family. I
was inspired to become a daughter or Guru Gobind Singh Ji by taking
Amrit and donning a Dastaar, and was able to say goodbye to my old life.
I'm
so glad that I took Amrit, because for me that was when things changed
for the better. Amrit was a promise to my Guru that I won't make the
mistakes which I had previously done so and live in accordance to his
Wisdom. I have since never looked back and feel blessed to be part of
the Khalsa family.”
“Take one step towards Guru Ji, and Guru Ji will take a million steps towards you.”
