THE
REALM
OF
TRUTH
Before darkness recedes, The Lord is brought from Sri Akal Takhat Sahib.
The morning hymns (Asa Di Vaar) resonating through every wall and every corner of Harmandir Sahib.
The congregation (Sangat) is blessed with Your presence (Darshan) as You sit on Your throne, inside the Realm of Truth (Sachkhand).
THE
GOLDEN
STORY
At the age of 21 he became a King.
By age 22 he took control of Amritsar.
As he stood in front of his Guru, he, a fearless warrior and inspiring leader, kept Maharaj Ji in his consciousness (Surti). As he did Ardaas at Harmandir Sahib he announced the renovation to be made of marble and gold.

MIRI PIRI:
PROTECTOR
AND
FAITH
Baba Buddha Ji gifted Sahib Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji with two swords; Miri and Piri.
Miri (derives from the Persian word “Amir”) meaning Ruler which signifies temporal power and political power.
Piri (derived from the Persian word “Pir”) meaning Saint which signifies spiritual authority.
Together they form the supreme seat of power; The Akal Takhat.
THE
STILLNESS
The light of His kingdom pierced through the blackness. You stand and stare. A sudden feeling overtakes your body. A thought comes to mind;
“You are standing where your Guru’s prayed.”
That place where countless prayers (Paath), selfless service (Sewa) and recitation (Simran) has been done. Where everyday of every minute the Lord is being remembered.
In that perfect moment of stillness, that heart beat, is the presence of Maharaj Ji.
THE PATH HOME
Perfectly surrounded, only one path leading to You. Walking through the gate, You are inviting me with open arms, ready to embrace me. I cup my hands, close my eyes and I drink Your Nectar (Amrit) while reciting Your Name.
Slowly, my eyes open, and I see Your house, sparkling in the night. You have opened Your four doors for me. I follow Your Path.
I am home.
