Vahiguroo ji ka Khalsa
Vahiguroo ji ki Fatehh
Relationships become strained when you have some of your closest and dearest relatives share beliefs that strongly contradict yours.
Before taking amrit and joining the Khalsa panth, it did not matter to me what my relatives believe. For instance I had a grandmother who was an ardent devotee of Durga and a grandfather who knew Vedas, Koran, Gurbani and read Tantric and other gians and did a lot of Gurbani paath. My parents though non practising Sikhs were keshadharis.
It all changed after we were given Amrit and joined the Khalsa Panth.
However I have a dear bua who is married to a non practising Nirankari husband. Though her husband isn't that kind of a bhagat of the Nirankari Guru, his parents are ardent devotees. If I try to severe all my ties with my bua, it means I'm hurting her sentiments for she played a great motherly role in my early life. It should be noted that my bua is not a Nirankari herself and does not live with her in-laws who are in India. The fact that they are visiting India for the first time after our family has taken Amrit trembles me.
How to deal with such a situation?
