Vaheguru's Light Always Shines Bright
Back in October 2020 I was thinking a lot about the Shaheedi of our beloved Sahibzaaday and I felt an overwhelming sense of uselessness. It was making me frustrated, angry and upset. I spoke to my sister about my feelings 'what can we do for them?' I felt so useless. She replied, 'we simply remember them'.
How we remember them is up to us, what better way than to engage in Gurbani, sing kirtan and talk about what happened. We can proactively teach the next generation about what happened, never forget what happened, never forget them. This goes for every one of our Shaheeds, in the past and during this present day. These feeling are resurfacing for many with the farmers protests in Delhi. Their warrior spirit and energy is helping people across the Globe, who are trying to cope with the feelings of helplessness and frustration.
Experiencing these feelings inspired me to launch the 'Vaheguru's light always shines bright' candle, because it absolutely does. The Blue Lotus or Sacred Lilly as it is also known and Sandalwood, are beautiful, feel good scents that can help you relax the mind and body. We have now launched a third scent, Jasmine. A sweet, sensuous, floral smell full of goodness.
Lighting a candle isn't going to erase our history or change our future as Sikhs. It it simply a reminder to look towards the light. When we look towards the light we grow, we rise and we breath. With Vaheguru's hand on our heads we too can shine bright.
