Subject: Re: Canberra and Melbourne Shows - Bhai Taru Singh Ji - MOVIE
Waheguru ji ka khalsa,
Waheguru ji ki fateh.
Kamaldeep Veerji.
As veer Gurpal Singh has mentioned the experience from the movie is just beyond words and doesn’t matter what adjectives I use here to describe my feelings for this movie, I won't be able to do the justice with this masterpiece. More than 70% of Sangat was in tears and it created the mood of high postiveness amongst the viewers. All of those who opposed this concept of screening the movie and de motivated us from doing anything like this were themselves in tears and came to bless all the sewadars and patted their backs for their effort to screen this movie in Perth.
We gave feedback forms to sangat after the movie to get their views and I wish I could type the comments from all the sangat in this email but I would love to share the feedback from one viewer which I loved the most:
"I don't have word to tell you what I feel. I can write whatever but it’s hard for me to describe. I think this page is not enough but all I can say is I AM A HINDU and I try to be as religious as I can. I am also deeply involved in GURSIKHI but bottom line is I want to ARDAAS SATGURU ji, if I ever born again as human, I want and will be born as Gursikh and I will live my life with KESH and UNDER GURSIKHI. WAHEGURU JI bless you. I think you are a ray of hope in this KALYUG. Please keep doing this because people like you will bring us back to where we need to be. Please dont step back. You are a TRUE SIKH and we will be a GURSIKH someday" -- Gursikh GURUKA Pyara
Veerji, see the name my hindu brother has used for these comments. It's just a tip of an iceberg. The biggest thing achieved in this show was that all the people who can't stand each other and have been fighting in past were crying together after the show. Both the Gurudwara SAHIBS of Perth who have historically, never worked together on any project came closer because of this movie and they shared the tears together, once they saw a life of a TRUE GURSIKH. My writing is not strong enough to share the passion of kids, youth and older people had after the movie and emotions that were created when few Laals of GURU SAHIB were inspired through the movie and agreed not to cut their hair in future.
In today's diwan at Gurudwara SAHIB I was told by committee that they could see the calmness and positivity in the SANGAT who have been involved in petty fights for last 1.5 year. All I can do is just give you some examples of how Perth's SANGAT has moved after this movie but if you ask about experience, then it’s beyond my SAMRATHA and if I try to write for that experience will be just wastage of my time and effort. I feel truly blessed to initiate this thing in Perth with amount of Blessings sangat came with today at Gurudwara Sahib and number of jaikaaras that were raised after reading the above comments from hindu brother at the end of congregation.
Veerji, I can assure you that if movie is shown at same time to SARBAT KHALSA around the world, it can create the connections among all SIKHS at the level of soul and establish the KHALISTAN of Sikh spirit.
Let me know if I can be of help to you guys to arrange the screening of these shows in Melbourne
