*What inspired you towards Sewa? -
As we all know "GURBANI" is the first most inspiring source for any sikh for choosing the right path but here, i can't miss the most important reason without which i could have not been able to be whatever i am , and that reason is "MY PARENTS". SO, because Guru sahib's grace and my parents blessings i have always been accompanied by such "GURMUKH PYAARE" who have always motivated me towards enlightening path and also encouraged me to spread this spark to the whole world too.
*Who is your role model, and Why? -
"ROLE MODEL" is a big tittle for which one should be perfect enough to handle its responsibilities and according to gurmat no one in this whole world is complete or perfect besides one who has attained that state where he/she emerges into that divine power, and the one who attains it become silent and out of words to express its divine beauty. So how can i choose anyone whose himself asking for his perfection from the almighty . Thus, our guru sahib has taught us that we have to only follow our shabad guru whose "SAMRATH GURU" because its not bounded with any obligation and impurities of this mortal world. So who else can be "THE TRUE ROLE MODEL" than "AN IMMORTAL SHABAD GURU" who teaches us the direct path towards "AKAALPURAKH".
*What other steps we can take to motivate youth towards Sikhi? -
"ITS BETTER TO LIGHT A CANDLE THAN TO CURSE THE DARKNESS" this is what reminds me when we nowadays talk about sikhism or today's condition of our panth. I believe we should stop talking about problems now lets just stop cursing the youth whose away from panth lets just hug them again making them realize that they are one of us. lets now talk about solutions. lets not wait for one leader or pracharak to come and solve everything. lets step down into the field and start saying its our panth too rather than saying its just guru's panth. Rather than replying there questions with frustration we must answer them lets clear there doubts and get back those sons and daughters who were unaware of there rich treasures.
*Many people have different experiences of how they came into Sikhi. Which way do you think is the best way to influence and encourage youth to learn more about their faith? - " -
"DON'T BE AFRAID OF WHAT YOUR CHILD IS DOING, BE AFRAID THAT HE IS OBSERVING, WHAT YOU ARE DOING". DHAN SRI GURU NANAK DEV JI never asked anyone to join sikhism he simply practiced whats right and thats what he encouraged others for.
Sikhism : i believe is the shortest way towards akaalpurakh as it does not allow any mediator or any third factor to come in between you and akalpurakh. And with that it is the most practical, universal and refined religion in this world. we just need to spread awareness for the same. And awareness is not just by teaching others it is first of all by practicing it ourself. Rather than just giving others as examples lets become an example ourself for others to learn.
Lets learn more and more about our panth before teaching it to others.

SIKHI SIDAK has been a turning point of my life. I will be short of words while thanking this family for the gift it has given me. And the gift is "MY DASTAR". I know that without guru kirpa i could have never imagined of this beautiful pride but it would not be wrong if i would say that SIKHI SIDAK was that kirpa that my akalpurakh has given me through. I am always OVERWHELMED for whatever SIKHI SIDAK has given me. And for what i got from sikhi sidak the list is endless and yet increasing . Thank you for introducing me to highly enlightened souls, for whom i would say i am not even dust of their feet. Thank you for introducing me to my own mistakes and shortcomings.
I will always be thankful to God for giving me such family where i can learn endlessly and can serve my life towards panth too. I hereby request "MY SIKHI SIDAK FAMILY" :-) to please keep making me aware of my mistakes and keep letting me learn from you all.
