A Visit To Golden Temple- Amritsar. A Journey Of Faith Unfolded



Date: 4 April 2014

A Visit to Golden Temple- Amritsar. A journey of faith unfolded


Vahu Guru, Oh Harminder Sahib…Tributes to you
Walking along the scenic beauty of the honey pond
The temple of God opens up on all four sides to enter
Mixture of Muslim and Hindu architecture makes you wonder

A new spiritual freedom unfolded in its way
As we walk towards the Sri Darbar Sahib temple to pray
Its not just for the Sikhs from all over the world
But for any human being who wants peace and calmness

In life, can truly be there to endear the tolerance and peace
Sikhism is not just another faith, but a way of life
No caste, no creed, no sex or no religion comes on its way
The gates of god are open for all in unity and blissful bay

Heart felt harmony in the air, as you drink the waters from the pond
And wash away the sins of life in the fragrant waters of the wells
You feel, a new you, a truly calmer and a faithfully blessed
The past, the fears, the gun sounds and operations are now gone

What remains in the air, is a calmer and peaceful temple of God
There can be no reminiscences of the past reflecting on its walls
For Vahu Guru, makes you feel more related to future than its past
As we bow down in prayers, the songs that echo in the air around

The food, the water, the people, the children all in unison
Leaves you no traces of tyranny of the past that played
Its cruel war in this place of worship and in front of temple of God
As they moved on, it teaches you a unique story from the past

That no matter what, faith builds you strong and let you at peace
Leave the past behind the dirty sheds, and learn to move on
Vahu Guru, Oh Harminder Sahib…Tributes to you
Vahu Guru, Oh Sri Darbar Sahib, We truly bow to you

Bless us with good health and peace, and calmness
Take us in the righteous paths of oneness and love!
Vahu Guru, Oh Harminder Sahib…Tributes to you
Vahu Guru, Oh Sri Darbar Sahib, We truly bow to you
