Translation for this shabad here

Your eyes are so beautiful

thaerae bankae loein dhanth reesaalaa ||
Your eyes are so beautiful, and Your teeth are delightful.

sohanae nak jin lanmarrae vaalaa ||
Your nose is so graceful, and Your hair is so long.
(Shabad by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Vadhans on Pannaa 566)

I had the good fortune of attending the 2007 UK vaisakhi smagam rehansbai, and this shabad took me by surprise actually, since I had never come across it before but then I realised that this is how Guru nanak Dev Ji would praise God. Our Gurus were such amazing people, they had an enormous amount of love for Waheguru (God), they adored every beauty of Waheguru's creations. They saw God in everything and every life form.

Earlier today, I was having a nice conversation with someone and somehow stumbled across talking about a person I played football with during the UK 2002 smagam. Now, thinking about the smagam always directs my mind to the Friday night keertan darbaar in leicester where I was convinced of being a million miles away from this world. At the end, all i remember was just standing around, without having langar (don't know why i didnt eat that evening), waiting for transport back to gurdwara accomodation in a somewhat state of 'shock'. That evening was magic.

Here's a track from one of my recordings.

Prem

Dark, misty, cold. It was going to be another typical English day. The sun is hidden behind the blanket of fog leaving us all to feel slightly depressed. It's normal. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is quite a common condition amongst the populace, mainly due to shortening of the day. I dont think many of us suffer from SAD but we do feel slightly run down on certain days. Having lived in England all my life, i've managed to cope with this sudden change in weather even after having one of the best summers ever.

I got a parcel today...and here's what I got:


This is a must buy for everyone who likes soothing keertan as Bibi Snatam Kaur's voice is amazing. The tracks on the cd are:

1 Gobinda Gobinda Hari
2 Jin Prem Kio Tin Hee Prabh Paayo
3 Aadays Tisai Aadays
4 Gobinday Mukhanday
5 Waheguru Wahe Jio
6 Aad Guray Nameh

If you ever feel slightly down, keertan is your remedy :)
