🔥MUST WATCH 🌟The Best Time to shine 🌟 Hard hitting Talk by Bhai Jagraj Singh

Our previous generations emigrated to the west in the worst conditions of racism, poverty and having next to no religious rights. They fought in the world wars, and also worked hard, as a result building a positive reputation. Sikhs earned the rights that we appreciate today that protect the likes of the Kirpan and the Sikh identity. They built Gurdware (Sikh temples) around the world and have left our generation with a great foundation to build on. Unfortunately our generation have failed in our job to protect our Gurdware and push the Khalsa Panth forward. We are stuck in remembering the legacies of the past rather than making history now.

In this extremely powerful, inspiring and hard hitting talk, Bhai Jagraj Singh discusses where we have gone wrong and what we need to do to flourish, using a Shabad (hymn) of Guru Amar Das Ji.

ਹਸਤੀ ਸਿਰਿ ਜਿਉ ਅੰਕਸੁ ਹੈ ਅਹਰਣਿ ਜਿਉ ਸਿਰੁ ਦੇਇ ॥
hastee sir jio ankas hai aharan jio sir de |
The elephant offers its head to the reins, and the anvil offers itself to the hammer;
ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਆਗੈ ਰਾਖਿ ਕੈ ਊਭੀ ਸੇਵ ਕਰੇਇ ॥
man tan aagai raakh kai oobhee sev kare |
just so, we offer our minds and bodies to our Guru; we stand before Him, and serve Him.
