Harmeet Kaur’s Journey – From a Student to a Published Author

A Transformative Beginning at Akal Academy Baru Sahib

I completed my 10th grade at Akal Academy Baru Sahib in 2001. The five years I spent there marked a turning point in my life. From being a below-average student, I transformed into a highly motivated individual, ready to embrace change and strive for excellence. The environment at Baru Sahib instilled in me a thirst for learning and a drive to achieve more.

The Impact of Academic and Spiritual Education

The unique blend of academic and spiritual education at Baru Sahib played a pivotal role in my growth. Under the guidance and blessings of Honourable Babaji and the Almighty, I developed both my inner self and my external achievements. The foundation laid at the Academy has been instrumental in shaping my journey.

Facing the Challenges Beyond Baru Sahib

Leaving the protective cocoon of Baru Sahib was challenging. The outside world seemed indifferent and insensitive. However, the values and confidence I gained at the Academy helped me navigate these challenges. My passion for literature, cultivated in Baru Sahib’s library and poetry competitions, led me to pursue English (Hons) at Delhi University.

Becoming a Published Author

During my second year at Delhi University, I authored a book titled “Immortal Thoughts” which was published in January 2007 by Dreamland Publications. Simultaneously, I began writing a novel called “Tragedy of an Orphan,” which is currently under consideration with a reputed publisher. These milestones were a direct result of the inspiration and guidance I received during my time at Baru Sahib.

Reflections on Success and Gratitude

Last year, some of my classmates shared that they look up to me as an inspiration. This made me reflect on my journey and the support I received at Baru Sahib. My achievements in academics, debates, and poetry were remarkable, with my performance peaking at 81.4% by the time I left the Academy. I am forever indebted to the Kalgidhar Trust and Baru Sahib for their role in my success.

Current Endeavors and Future Aspirations

Currently, I am pursuing an MBA in International Business from ICFAI. I look forward to continuing my journey with the support and guidance of Akal Academy and Baru Sahib, as they remain a beacon of inspiration in my life.

Gur-Fateh!

Warm Regards,
