Remembering The Late Giani Harcharan Singh Ji

I did mention that my cycling project will also generate articles on Sikhism and this will include meeting interesting people. Sometimes I get a story because I am at the right place, right time.

I met Balwant Singh (white turban) who is 79 years of age at PJ Gurdwara recently and he spoke to me on the Iron bangle worn by a Sikh and death!

I told him my Iron bangle was given to me by the late Gianiji Harcharan Singh Ji (Orange Turban) of Melaka Gurdwara. And I am dedicating my cycling to him actually. He said "You are doing a good deed and continue with it."

I explained how I obtained my bangle some 4 years ago while I visited Gianiji in Melaka. We had a chat on spirituality and before leaving Gianiji had given me the Iron bangle as a gift and said may God lead me in truth and protect me always. It was a blessing and I was humbled and touched 🙏

When I heard of his passing, that broke my heart. Balwant was quick to remember the late Gianiji Harcharan Singh Ji too and spoke about his dedication and humbleness towards being a good Sikh who had carried out his duties diligently as ordained by God.

I met Balwant for the first time but my intuition tells me we knew each other before (past life). He then spoke to me briefly on death.

"We will all go one-day, have no fear of death. We don't die, death is the language of the mind. We are awareness and we are living in the presence of Waheguru (God) always," Balwant said.

Those words ignited vibrations tingling in my body. Yes, Soul is speaking to me. I feel it. It was a wonderful lesson on spirituality, the essence of Sikhism about death.

Before I left he said continue the good work which I am doing. I smiled, placed both my palms upright from my heart center and wished him Sat Sri Akaal while bowing my head gently as a gesture of respect.

Myself and Jake Chan are looking forward to our ride on May 7 where we will be cycling from Tampin Gurdwara to Gurdwara Sahib Melaka.

Visiting Sikh Gurdwaras On Bicycles

The "Gurdwara Cycling Tour 2022" is a 12 month cycling project which will be done in stages on weekends by Gurdev Singh and Jack Chan who are amateur cyclists from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "The idea of cycling and visiting every Sikh Gurdwaras around Malaysia was planned two years ago but when COVID 19 hit the shores we put the project on hold," said Gurdev. The dynamic duo also hope to create headlines by becoming the first Punjabi (Sikh) - Chinese (Christian) to form a cycling partnership to tour Malaysia on their bicycles and visiting the Sikh Gurdwaras nationwide, this includes Sabah and Sarawak too. "We plan to keep the ride 50km daily. For the first route, starting Saturday 7 May we will begin cycling from Tampin Gurdwara to Melaka Gurdwara (50km to be exact). We will cycle same route from Melaka to Tampin on Sunday 8 May," said Chan. The duo are cycling to create an awareness for teenagers and adults on the importance of cycling as it will lead to a ...

Fill Your Heart With Love

Every religion teaches man to greet the day with love in your heart. Nanak Ji, Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, Shiv and many others led us within. But we are quick to react to the actions of others, often going to the rooftop and yelling at them, humiliating, looking low, unappreciated backbiting on them. Why not reverse our actions by going to the rooftop and shouting praises of goodwill, love and biting our tongues when we are about to say unpleasant words. Today morning on the MRT, I kept reminding myself that I am love and silently I channeled loving thoughts to every passenger my eyes could see. A female beside me turned around and gave me a sweet glance (she probably felt my vibes of love 🌻). Today, I will greet this day with love. Will you do the same? 💞🙏 With late Gianiji Harcharan Singh Ji of Melaka Gurdwara. Tomorrow's cycling route 1, is dedicated to this humble soul 🙏 Follow our cycling journey 👇🚴🦅 https://gurdwaracycling.blogspot.com

Sikhs In Tampin

The "Gurdwara Cycling Tour 2022" will start on 7 May and both of us, Gurdev Singh and Jack Chan will flag off our cycling tourney from Tampin Gurdwara to Gurdwara Melaka, a historical city in the state of Melaka, Malaysia. I would like to account a little history about the Sikhs in Tampin. The Sikhs first arrived in Malaya around the early 1900's and Tampin town (based on records) were first visited by Sikhs in the 1920's. Most of these Sikhs were employed to work at railway stations, bus and lorry drivers, some took the post of policemen while some as labourers working and looking after cattle and at respectively plantations. On 18th September (based on records), it was stated that the first Prakash of the Sikh Holy Book Sri Guru Grant Sahib Ji was held at Gurdwara Sahib Tampin. Meanwhile the first Nishan Sahib Di Salami was held on the 23rd September, 1967 in the presence of Babaji Sant Sohan Singh Ji. The Gurdwara Sahib Tampin was then officially declared open...
