<\/a>The Woman of Yesterday…………who is she? what was she? where has she gone?<\/p>\n

Thats realy depends on what kind of women we saw when we reflect on the yester-years whereby times were simple……….needs were simple………..families sought joy and pleasure through simply “being”………….we see a young mother at home nurturing her children………..teaching them the wrong and rights of life………….<\/p>\n

\u00a0The woman of today wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with her male counterpart…….she donns the powersuit………….educates herself…………adornes herself with all sorts to educational and superfitial merit to prove her worth in a male dominated society……………..She sees the woman of yesterday and sees a surpressed, suffocated woman who has wasted her life being stuck in the cage of family life and upbringing…..and prides herself at her lucky escape…………<\/p>\n

\u00a0The woman of Yesterday looks at the woman of today as sees and lifeless souls that, in seeking equality and status and merit for being a woman……..has lost the very thing that makes her a woman………….her soul<\/p>\n

\u00a0Guru Nanak Dev Ji praises the God given right of a woman and places a divine light around the task she was given by waheguru: –<\/p>\n

The Woman of Yesterday sees the light of waheguru within her soul…………she sings to her brood the songs of the immortals and shines the light of sikhi within them so they so strive to become one with the light……..she does this with so little show and grandure that its magic is only felt in the depth of the soul as it…..comes closer to Waheguru……………….The saint souldiers that will come tommorow are because of The woman of Yesterday…………….The women whos sees the true purpose of why life is infused in her………………..So rare is this woman…………………who sees past adorning the clay silloette that is her body……………but strives to decorate her soul with the ornaments of the Naam………………so rare has this type of woman who wispers into the ear her newborn the immortal Naam “waheguru………….waheguru.. …waheguru……….waheguru………..waheguru” and does Gods bidding by planting the seed of the naam in that soul so that it may grow ever green in the Land of the Immortals……<\/p>\n

<\/strong>My sisters, mothers see your True worth…………….see the beautiful gift that waheguru has blessed you with……..u are the silent warriors that enshrine Sikhi into your brood and ensure that the\u00a0Garden of Guru Nanak is evergreen and the like the flowers that blossom, you are the true khalsa…………..in ur soul………..you have merged with the creater……….you are waheguru………..o mother and your Khalsa will always blossom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
