My ‘Charne Lagna’




I humbly seek blessings for our beloved Geet, the younger daughter of Shivpreet, who did her Kirtan last Sunday at Tri-Valley  Gurdwara Sahib. This moment feels deeply symbolic, completing a sacred circle in our family’s spiritual journey. It brings back cherished memories of my own path at similar age toward faith, guided by my revered Bhua Ji.

I still vividly remember when my father insisted that my sister Bhagwant and I receive Bhua Ji blessings and her certification for doing a correct Paath before ˜Charni Lagna’. 

During one summer visit to Badbar, after taking our showers, both of us recited Jap Ji Sahib before her. Her approval and blessings filled our hearts with joy. She rewarded us with fresh, hot parathas dripping with white butter. We sat on a simple cotton mat near the fire, savoring every bite and feeling her love and grace envelop us. That beautiful moment remains etched in my heart even today.

I pray earnestly that Bhua Ji noble soul continues to reside at the lotus feet of Waheguru Ji, showering us with her divine blessings from above.
