barublogDuring his visit to Camp Chardi Kala 2014 in New York, Bhai Jatinder Singh had an extraordinary encounter that he later shared. This story, both inspiring and heartwarming, involves a white American lady who found spiritual guidance through the dreams of her late father, leading her to embrace the Sikh practice of Nitnem.
A Chance Encounter at Home Depot
Bhai Jatinder Singh was at a Home Depot store in New Jersey when a random encounter took place. A white American lady greeted him with the Sikh greeting, “Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh!” Surprised and curious, Bhai Jatinder asked how she knew the Sikh greeting and about Sikhs in general. What followed was a revelation that would leave him astounded.
The Father’s Repeated Dream – “Nitnem”
The lady explained that after her father’s passing, she began experiencing recurring dreams. In these dreams, her father would appear and repeatedly say “Nitnem.” Initially, the woman was confused and thought he might be saying “Nitwit,” a term for a fool. However, as the dreams continued, she realized the importance of the word “Nitnem,” which led her to explore its meaning.
Discovering Nitnem and Sikhism
Through her research, the lady discovered that “Nitnem” refers to the daily Sikh prayers recited by Sikhs. She learned about the spiritual significance of Nitnem and its role in daily life. Inspired by her father’s repeated message, she downloaded a Gurbani Nitnem app and began listening to the prayers every day — morning Nitnem when she woke up, Rehraas Sahib in the evening, and Sohila Sahib before bed.
A Spiritual Awakening Beyond Boundaries
The woman’s father, a Christian, may not have been familiar with Nitnem, but through his recurring dreams, he guided his daughter toward a deeper spiritual connection. The dreams seem to have been a signal that only Nitnem and Gurbani could guide her soul, transcending religious boundaries. This story highlights the universal nature of spirituality and the power of Gurbani to touch hearts beyond cultural limits.
Conclusion – The Power of Nitnem and Gurbani
This touching and unique story reminds us of the profound impact of Nitnem and Gurbani in the lives of those who embrace them. Regardless of background or upbringing, the spiritual guidance that comes through the practice of Nitnem can lead to peace, healing, and enlightenment.
