Six months is an awful lot of time in a lifetime. Sometimes they pass by so quickly that you hardly notice and sometimes you wish they would pass faster. But rarely does a moment come when you wish time would stand still and the six months shouldn't have passed. It has been six months since His Holiness Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji united with the eternal light.

Faith in itself is defined by one's belief in the occurrence and acceptance of miracle(s) and its creator and leads to the reinforcement of either love or fear depending on which Taranjiet Singh Namdharihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12331015239623324069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448276954601283290.post-50172101920809747672013-01-26T11:34:00.000+05:302014-02-03T18:28:13.799+05:30Memories - Here and there with His Holiness Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji
Several books and articles have been written about the Glory and the proactive efforts of His Holiness Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji. And several more will continue to be written in the future. But what underlined each story, each incident and each effort of His?

A single picture can sometimes create an avalanche of memories. Memories so fond and over powering that you realize their worth now, much later after the actual moment. The overwhelming emotion is such that your heart swells up with love hitherto you have unknown of, a longing of that smile that is now captured in the lens of your heart.
