We Welcome Bhai Fauja Singh Ji Today and Everyday!
Today, the 1st of a very festive month, December, Bhai Fauja Singh Ji graced our Sangat and Youth-Wing with his presence.
He comes to us at a time when most of us take our health for granted to remind us of the importance of taking good care of ourselves. How? With good food and a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Many of us have grown weary of the demands of this modern world and have forgotten the importance of regular exercise. As I jogged behind him at Mount Emily Park I was not just reminded, I was blown away by the fact that a simple diet and daily exercise has made this man a CENTURIAN!
A superstar in this own right...Bhai Fauja Singh Ji is that reminder personified and so much more.
Above all, he is a symbol of god’s miracle. He shows us that age is nothing but a number and you are only as old as you think you are. At 101 he is running distances at timings that even the average 25-year old can’t.
As Sikhs, one of our life purposes is to learn constantly consistently. Every experience proves as a learning platform.
Please do not take this experience for granted, he shows us that:-
• Good Wealth is True Wealth
• The Guru’s grace is a limitless power and blessing that is essential throughout this lifetime
• Mind over matter
• A Sikh never stops learning, being and achieving even at 101!
• Always give back to the needy
There is a pocket of opportunity in every situation we face and experience we possess. This one presents us with the opportunity to slowly but surely eradicate limiting self-beliefs of our personal power, mental and spiritual strength and maintaining a healthy body.
Bhai Fauja Singh Ji may not preach but he has successful embedded Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings of simplicity and humility into his daily existence.
A blessed soul of a few words, he shows us that facing a great loss such as losing his wife and moving to the UK to be with his son became a very positive life-altering decision. When you are down by god’s revision of your plans, remember Fauja Singh Ji. God had a grander plan for him and he lives every moment of it graciously.
We continue to pray for this blessed soul. Thank you for taking photographs with us and signing autographs. We will never forget you!
Love,
SGSS Youth Wing
