"Peace" a Call for an End to War
Who can forget the unfolding horror of September, 11, 2001, a day which changed our nation, causing the kind of shock waves felt by the American people on December, 7, 1941, when the Japanese targeted Pearl harbor. Both were acts which resulted in neighbors regarding each other with suspicion, not knowing who to trust, and fostering bias related incidents. Both plunged us into war.
The 2nd World War ended after four years. The seven year long war in which Americans are now engaged, threatens to continue for the next 100 years, and in fact has been ongoing for the past 2000 years.
It's time we call our troupes home and put an end to a war which has driven American people into triple deficit debt while lining the pockets of war profiteering corporations, decimating the country and peoples we are supposed to be helping bring democracy to, and who want us to leave.

Blissfully, joyously sing His glorious praises; by this celestial tune, you shall acquire the everlasting kingdom. ||1||

Come back to your home, O my friend.

The Lord Himself has eliminated your enemies, and your misfortunes are past. ||Pause||SGGS||678

You are a woman of courage and conviction whom I admire very much.
A prayer for peace is one that everyone should support. I hope we can make this century a more peaceful one than the last.
You are an amazing woman and an inspiration to us all. I live in Sacramento and visit the Bradshaw Gurdwara. Have I ever seen you there?
Thanks for this great site!
I do attend Gurdwara Bradshaw on occasion, when visiting the area. I first went during Asa di Var kirtan way back in the days before it even had a langar hall, and sangat sat out in the open. I’m very saddened to hear of the recent incident. Our gurdwaras ought to be a place of refuge.
Well, I hope to someday meet you. I am very inpressed with all you have done for Sikhi. Being American born and not growing up Sikh, I find it a blessing and also a great challenge when I go to Gurdwara. I don’t understand Punjabi and sometimes feel out of place. I was wondering if anyone else has gone through what I am going through. I would really like some input. Thanks and God bless you.
It’s easy to feel left out sometimes, when you don’t understand a language and are not part of a culture. I generally find it a blessing though, because it also means being left out of quarrels and squabbles and concentrating energy on gurmat and gurbani.
and log in is very easy. I’d love to talk to you more. We probably have lots in common. I’m guessing you could tell from my photo if we have met, If not we certainy ought to
If you haven’t yet Please do come visit in the sikhism forum. The tools are much more cohesive to conversation there is a spell checker
