Thanks for posting this video. I just visited India and the Golden Temple in Feb. Seeing the visuals, hearing the kirtan… felt like I was there all over again. I had a great trip and looks like you did too.

Remembering today the 25th Anniversary of the "Operation Bluestar" massacre unleashed by the Indian Army at the direct instruction of Indira Gandhi.

As bullet holes in brick walls around Jallianwala Bagh from remind us of what happened 1919, so do remains the intact of the scars of the killing of hundreds (perhaps thousands) of innocent worshippers, destruction of the Akal Takht & irreplaceable artifacts housed within its structures and the desecration of the complex in June 1984.

Let us never forget.

thanks for sharing somme of your amazing experience in your indian trip. the thing I noticed most was the smile of a lady as you quickly passed by her in a market street… and then an other smilly face and an other …. there seems to be something there we have lost in our grey occidental and busy cities. the temple is awasome and I can see why you would want to be there that much. happy new year to you sukhjit ( even if of late )

Max! It's so nice of you to leave a comment and share your experience here. I really appreciate it.

You can probably tell, my parent's are quite devote. I grew up going to the Sikh Temple in our town, but didn't really ever understand the ritual. It's funny, but as an adult I've found more of a connection with what it means to be Sikh and I find great pride in the fact that I am.

So, I should tell you that one of my favorite cities in India is Chandigarh. I love that place. I've always thought if I had a reason to live in India... I would want to live in Chandigarh. =)

Once again, great to see a comment from you, and thank you for watching my vlog! --sukhjit

Thanks for another great vlog Sukhjit! It's so important to keep one's root culture, and I am happy for you that you're making the rediscovery thanks to the needs of sharing with us as a matter of fact. I could explain why it is so critical for hours, but I will refrain for fear of sounding even older than I am. But as you know me, you will probably know why I am saying that. My children will be first generation immigrants and I hope they will remember where they come from all the time. So I am sure your parents can be proud of you!

I visited Amritsar for the first time last year (shameful that it took so long considering I've been to my birthplace Chandigarh on previous trips). My parents fell away from Sikhism even before I was born, but there's no denying the Golden Temple is an intensely spiritual experience. Definitely worth the mad day-trip car ride from Chandigarh!
