EkOmKar


This EkOmKar reminds me of Burma. I had the pleasure of visiting Burma (5 years ago) and the Sikhs there are very kind and humble. Someday I will get a chance to go back.

I learn something everyday. There is marble under the carpet



The entire Fremont Gurudwara is being cleaned, every window, corner, floor and there are at least 30 brothers and sisters at it. More were driving in to do Seva. I will add another photo from this evening in a couple of hours.

Hayward Gurudwara closed at night - Where are all these people?



I was passing by the Gurudwara close to 11pm yesterday and thought it would be a good idea to pay my respects. The Gurudwara was closed, where was everyone? How come there were at least 30 pairs of Juttis but not a soul in sight?

Gunney da Rus (Sugarcane Juice)



It is tough to follow good pictures from Jasleen but I was thinking about Nagar Kirtan that was celebrated in Yuba City a few months ago.
