Taking strength from Shaheeds | Bhai Avtar Singh Parowal

There's no 'on button' for chardi-kala (high spirits). A Sikh isn't chardi-kala by magic - they work and practise it every day. In celebration of Guru Arjan Dev Ji's Shaheedi Divas, Bhai Baljit Singh shares sakhia from Guru Ji's life, showing the external challenges they had and how their whole life was a build up to the chardi-kala of their Shaheedi (martyrdom). Drawing parallels to the Battle of Amritsar in June 1984, with inspiration, we learn about the life of Bhai Avtar Singh Parowal, who on 6th June 1984, even after being shot through the legs, continued to do Kirtan in Sri Darbar Sahib.
No matter what we're going through in life, if we can take out a moment, draw strength from our powerful history and really say the Guru's words, ਤੇਰਾ ਕੀਆ ਮੀਠਾ ਲਾਗੈ ॥ (Your actions seem so sweet to me), we can make active steps towards a life filled with chardi-kala. It takes practise, so stick at it!

Really wonderful spiritual discourse 🙏🏾❤️I have always wanted and strived for the perfect job, perfect career! But I was so wrong in my egotistical mind. Whatever job God gives, I completely accept. Thank you for teaching us gratitude and living in complete harmony with life 🙏🏾

I haven’t watched the whole video I only watched the first few minutes. The Kirtan with the Spanish guitar & the vocals are so beautiful. So melodious.

Very good

[@Pugife5abi]

I don't think we should be afraid of saying Sikhs are/should be in in Chardi Kala. It's a state of mind that we have to aspire to, in times of challenge in our respective lives and acceptance of the moment.

[@journeyofcompassion9001]

Yes, shouldn’t be afraid but also not have false expectations. It’s about being in acceptance where someone is in this moment and then go a through a process to reach ‘Chardhi Kalaa’ which can be done through having aspiration.
