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 ...

Broga Cycling

On May 4th, 2022 Jack and myself will be doing a 40km cycling route. Our starting point will be from Broga town and departure is at 7.30am after our breakfast. From Broga, we will cycle through some scenic village routes until Kg Daching. From here, we will proceed to Bandar Tasik Senangin. This is a lovely residential area but sadly most of its houses are without the landlords. Many left it abondoned for whatever the reason, I don't know lah (probably the land is infected with termites). From the termite infected land, we will then head back to our starting point to Broga for lunch. This cycling exercise will prepare us for our weekend Gurdwara Cycling from Tampin to Melaka and vice versa. However, to those cyclist who are keen to join us for the inaugural cycling event, Jack Chan has prepared the program below: Gurdwara Cycling Tour 7-8 May, 2022 (Kajang-Tampin-Melaka-Tampin-Kajang). Train Schedule for Kajang- Tampin (Sat, 7 May 2022) 🚴Depart Kajang 6.23am and arrive Tampin at ...

Selfless Service Of A Sikh

In the Guru Grant Sahib page 286 the definition of Sewa: "One who performs selfless service, without thought of reward, shall attain his Lord and Master." It's a way of a Sikh. I share a cycling tale which happened few years ago. A friend who cycled Malaysia solo was introduced to some of my Sikh friends and without hesitation they humbly welcomed him to their homes, sharing shelter and food lovingly. He learned new words and the most he liked was the Sikh greeting, Sat Sri Akal. The Sikhs have big hearts, I'm sure there are many of you who are not Sikhs with big hearts too and the word Sewa is not confined to Sikhs only. In the wake of this virus and the hardship it has caused to many of us recently, the Sikh Gurdwaras has come forward to help with food serving Chapati, Dhall and Vegetables to those having financially difficulties or getting food on your table.
