[QUOTE="Sathanuman Singh, post: 24094, member: 2283"] My name is Sathanuman Singh Khalsa. I was appointed Mukhia Jathedar by Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji in 1997 while serving at Guru Ram Das Gurdwara Sahib in Massachusetts. I adopted the Sikh path in 1971. I was administered Amrit Pahul in the summer of 1974 by SGPC President Sardar Gurucharan Singh Tora and Sardar Hokum Singh along with three other Amritdhari Khalsa. I am married, have two daughters, four grandchildren. I am a veteran of the USAF from 1978-70. I sent my two daughters to school in Mussoorie (UP) and eventually Amritsar from 1983-1991. I am very blessed to live this Dharmic path. I have lived in the deep south, and for 14 years in "Puritan" New England. I currently live in culturally diverse Portland, Oregon. I have experienced the destruction of the Siri Akal Takhat, the racism and hate that followed the Ayatollah Khomeni's rise to power in 1979. I was in NY on September 11th when the World Trade Center was attacked. By Guru's Grace my wife and I were able to attend Anandpur Sahib in 1999 for the 300th Anniversary of the Khalsa. I have made the yatra to Hemkunt Sahib and bowed my head many times at Darbar Sahib in Amritsar. Having said all that, why do Sikhs born in this beautiful way of life, crumble when the 'heat' is on? Why do the Pagaris come off, the Kesh gets shorn, and the beards are trimmed or shaved? Why do Sikhs born in the Punjab or India come to America and Canada and try to fit into this land of Maya? Why do they 'anglicize' their beautifu names which came from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib? In this season of Baisakhi, let us be reminded of the 10th Master's words of strenght and courage. Let us face our egos, our fears and call on Akal Purkh to give us the 'steel' to face the foe. We must be the "beacon of light". So what if someone calls out "Osama" or makes fun of your turban. Let them. We are the Khalsa! We are the sons of Guru Gobind Singh. We are the Lions of the Khalsa Panth! We shall not be defeated. Let us renew our committment, carry the torch of Guru Nanak Dev ji and uplift humanity. We have a great history, a great heritage, a great destiny. Lets not wait for the 10th Guru to return. He has come already. Tie up your "rishi kesh" on the 10th gate, cover it with the crown of the 10th Master, let your beard flow as a saint should. Rise up in the amritvela and bath. Recite HIS Banis and then work by the sweat of your brow. Share with the Sadh Sangat and community and do seva. Be great. Our Dharma is a sacred gift from our Guru's. We serve the One Creator. We shall not melt when the heat is on. Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh! Sathanuman S. Khalsa:wah: [/QUOTE]
