Har Ji Aaye (Chhad Sinhaasan Har ji Aaye)— Gurbani Shabad Hindi Punjabi Lyrics with English Meaning and Translation
In a time, when mistrust between Administration of Indian State and Sikh diaspora has been on the rise, one of my friend referred me to this Shabad which reminisces the close ties of relatively new doctrine from the older faith of the Sub-continent. Wish and hope that the ties and trust between communities remains as strong as it has been through toughest of the times during the human and Indian history.
