Chh. #94-102 Chaacharee Chhand, Bhujang Prayaath Chhand, Chaacharee Chhand

Last updated on Apr 8, 2022

Go North and Vaheguru is there, Go South and Vaheguru is there, Go East and Vaheguru is there, Go West and Vaheguru is there. Think of any place where Vaheguru does not use Their Power of Creation, Nourishment, Destruction? There is none. Every nook and cranny.... every open space and the endlessness of the sky. Anishinabeg Indigenous Medicine Wheel represents multiple directions, seasons, colours, times, plants, and animals but even all of these different classifications of nature belong to Vaheguru.
