Beautiful, Inni, you captured meditation with words ... a prayer in itself.

You are blessed, Inni, to burst forth spontaneously in song and sing His Praise from the core of your heart. This is "Gurprasad" and don't ever stop singing. "The jewel of the Lord's Name abides within my heart; the Guru has placed His Hand on my forehead." [GGS:696.3] What better blessings could we give you?

Beautiful!

Splendid! A glimpse of the dwelling place of Awesome Wisdom. If the world can receive more of what Inni Kaur is outpouring, we will learn from the interpretations of gurbani deserving our attention, to understand and feel the Divine.

Priceless meditation/ Contentment pours/ No beginning no end/ Blessings unfold/ Japji resounds/ Nanak's children astound. Thank you, Inni ji, for sharing your longing and joy with yet another gem.

Thank you, Inni Kaur, for such a beautiful expression of wonder, of Japji.
