Flying High in the Skies of Espanola

This morning we had a bit of fun and adventure flying as the sun was rising above Espanola. My friend Krishan Shiva Singh likes to fly airplanes and invited us to fly with him. In the earlier days he used to do a lot of Sky Diving (Jumping out of an airplane, free floating and then parachuting). Last night he called my office before I went home and said he had space so at the last minute decided to go with him along with Narayan. Yippeee....! Most of you have flown in a commercial airplane, but it is a whole different thing flying around in one of these small planes. We flew all over Espanola checking out the various landmarks. It was cool flying over the Summer Solstice Campsite and seeing everything from up above. Everything looks so different from high up. We "swooped" down low past a car driving up the dusty solstice road and then headed in the direction of our house. I called her up on the phone and we saw her in the back yard.

Passing Judgement on Others

In the below video Guruka Singh talks about how we don’t have the right to criticize or judge others about their practice (or lack) of being a Sikh.
 

Sikh Women and Turbans

In the below video Shanti Kaur answers the question about why she wears a turban as a Sikh Woman, since in recent times most Sikh women do not wear it. She also speaks about how the women in Khalsa Panth stopped wearing the turban in the time after Guru Gobind Singh ji's death.

Spiritual Name: Your Gift from the Guru

In this video Dr. Harjot Kaur speaks about the importance of one’s spiritual name, and how it is one of our main spiritual connections to the Guru and a reminder of your destiny as a Sikh. In western society many of us are pressured by our peers and people who might find it hard to pronounce and so a name like "Harjinder Singh" become "Harry"; just to please and make it easier for them. However it is our spiritual strength and identity, which Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji blessed us with and we should maintain.
