The Khalsa represents the spirit of humankind in its pristine form. This is the spirit the creator gave when humans were created. It is immaculate, pure, unadulterated and in direct communication with "Sat Kartar",..
As Guru Prem was not raised as a Sikh, he did not have his current bana (one’s outward appearance) until his mid-twenties. A circuitous journey of personal discovery led to the tying of his first turban in 1978.

I was archiving some old videos to DVD and found this short video clip by Shanti Kaur (1996?) where she was talking to the sangat about the topic of "Giving things up to the Guru/God to take care of" and what that means to her. I have found this to be very true in my life. The natural tendency is to worry about things and get stressed out about something. I have found that if you develop a relationship with yourself and the Guru and you surrender your problems, challenges, etc to the Guru, that it all gets taken care of. Anyway, watch the video to hear Shanti Kaurs perspective. All food for thought :)
