WJKK...WJKF,

Thanks for such a fast reply for my previous mail.

Today i have one more question.And my question is that:My mother says that going every day to gurdwara and doing seva is not so important.When u know u have responsibility of ur home and kids,u should stay at home instead of running to gurdwara everyday.She say doing seva of elders(older people)and ur husband ,,kid and ur house hold chores is more imp. instead of running to bangla sahib(gurdwara in delhi)everyday.as bangla sahib is quite far away from our home.

But i think doing seva in gurdwara is more sacred and we can become more closer to god.This is the only way to show love and respect to god.But i am not sure wheather i am right or wrong.As said.." seva atay simran ..prabh milan dha rasta".So plz put some light on this subject.

I have read that u all guys r full time working and even not paid for this.So just saying thanks is very small but i dont have any other words for ur great work .The way u guys write the ans/reply,it help the peoples to built their faith more in god and make them able to understand the relation between them and god. Please also let me know that where can we donate money for this sikhnet site.How much is minimum and maximum donation one can do.

One more thing always come in my mind is that here in US everyone has computers in their homes but in india this facility is not available in every sikh home .So i just want to know how they can get such a nice and educational things with out computer.

thanxs in advance
waheguru bless u everyone and keep it up!

Wahe Guru Ji ka Khalsa

Seva is the source of all power. Home and kids are not the center of your life. God and Guru are the center of your life.

In a successful marriage, husband, home and kids must revolve around the same center. How to prioritize? Your daily sadhana (Nitnem, Sukhmani Sahib, etc.) comes first. It is your anchor. If you need to get up earlier, or go to bed later, then do so. After that comes husband kids and family. How can you serve them properly if you are not taking care of your own relationship with your Guru first? Be steadfast and all will resolve.

Thank you for your kind words to us moderators. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the cyber-sangat worldwide. It is a sacred honor.

You can donate to SikhNet here: https://www.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/donation.nsf/wizard!openform

In India there are many Cyber Cafe's and those who do not have a computer at home or work (most!) can use the computers at a Cyber Cafe to get to SikhNet.

May Guru's blessings of love and light be yours always, .....G
