@vikramsahney @SGPCAmritsar Very good initiative, sir. But might I suggest planting trees native to Punjab, such as Peepul and Banyan, instead of Palm? They’re not just imperative to conserve groundwater, but also excellent at providing much-needed shade to devotees in summers. Thanks :)

@madra_deshi Veerji/bhainji, yes. Nirgun & sargun saroop of that Ram which is capable of having both these saroops, i.e. the all-pervasive Lord God. These nirgun and sargun saroops are present throughout Gurbani. 🙏🏻

@madra_deshi (Cont) and if we talk about the human Ram ji (avatar) then he can only be called the nirgun saroop by the logic of “sab meh jot, jot hai soi” Or “khaalaq khalaq, khalaq mai khaalaq” Or “sab gobind hai, sab gobind hai, gobind bin nahi koi” Everyone/where is God.
