Hukamnama - August 20, 2008

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

I wanted to share this Hukamnama with you... Its very powerful and we should feel very lucky as Sikhs to have Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to guide us through these dark times...

This Hukamnama is by Guru Amardas ji Maharaj, in Raag Vadhans, on Ang 560 of Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj.
