WELCOME TO TAMPA GURMAT CAMP 2018
Dear Campers,
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
We are glad and excited that you chose to be part of our 2018 Gurmat Camp at Tampa Gurdwara!
The theme this year is Living the Shabad Guru! Shabad Guru - Guru Granth Sahib is our Religious Scripture, a compilation of Hymns with a common Philosophy written by our Gurus, Prominent Bhagats and some other poets from Indian Subcontinent. Our objective for next five days is to learn as much as about Shabad Guru and be very proud of our heritage, what we are, where we come from and how do we learn to live by the Shabad Guru - Guru Granth Sahib.
The volunteers have worked hard to make camp as organized as possible. We hope you all will find the arrangements satisfactory and continue to be part of Tampa Gurmat camps for years to come! The camp is both educational and recreational. In addition to Gurmat, History, Kirtan, Panjabi sessions, you will also be doing fun activities such as Group games, Creative work, Soccer, Running around and much more etc.
Please take some time to go over the folder contents to acquaint yourself with camp plans and other details provided.
Let’s learn from our Guru and try to live according to its’ teachings!

GURDWARA ETIQUETTE CLASS FRAMEWORK
We urge all gurdwara sangat to come join us for the these sessions. With the passage of time the intended concepts of the Dharam by their founders turn into mere rituals without a clear understanding. Our goal in these two classes is to explain and clear questions sangat's/camper's mind about these activities, which are performed in our Gurdwaras across the world. Bhai Kuldeep Singh Ji will be taking this class every morning.
The first part of this session will start with the following: 1. Jap baani first 5 Paudis to be recited every day. One Paudi each morning will be explained. 2. Theme Shabad will be recited by all present in the Gurdwara. 3. Theme Shabad will be distributed in 5 parts and meaning of 1 part everyday will be explained.
Following topics will be handled during the Etiquettes class over the spread of the five days:
1. Kada Prashad and what it is and what is the true Gurmat behind it. A small portion of the Prashad is kept under the Paalki (explain). Why is it done and for what reason.
2. Concept of Bhog lagana? Is it really Gurmat?
3. Chaur di Sewa (the person standing behind the Guru Granth Sahib Paalki and using a long hair brush (chaur) ... Is it for the Guru or us? What exactly the significance is?
4. Rumalaa: Significance? purpose?
5. General etiquette as to how to sit and be part of the gurdwara congregation. 6. Fateh: Meaning / greetings meaning as per Gurmat;
Address: 15302 Morris Bridge Rd, Thonotosassa, FL 33592 Tel. (813)-986-6205 www.TampaGurmatCamp.com Email: [email protected] Page - 10
7. Sat Sri Akaal: Meaning / greetings meaning as per Gurmat;
8. Matha Tekna: Significance of bowing our head in front of the Guru;
9. Maya / Kirtanya Maya: Is it for the Guru or other purposes (Guru Needs our Maya?)
10. Ardaas: Concept of Ardaas as per Gurmat;
11. Naam: (touching this vast topic slightly on Gurmat Sidhaant). Naam is simply contemplating and understanding the various attributes of the one infinite creator. Naam is to be experienced and not just recited.
12. Nishan Sahib: The reason behind establishing it and what it stands for.
13. Hukamnaama: What truly it is and what it means for the children. We will seek a child who can do this everyday while Bhai Kuldeep Singh ji will sit with the child while Hukamnaama is taken.
There will be a time of 10 minutes for the campers/sangat in attendance to ask questions about the topics discussed during everyday.

CAMP SHABADS
This year campers will be learning the shabads below. It is encouraged that parents help their children with learning the words to the theme shabad (to be sung each morning in divan during the camp week) and the shabad assigned to their group. This will make it significantly easier for your child to pick up singing and playing the shabad in its entirety during the camp. Gurmukhi, transliteration and translation to all the shabads are included in this package. In addition, the notations for the theme shabad are also included if any camper from any group, would like to get ahead and be able to participate in performing the theme shabad during the daily morning divan. Sign-up sheets will be available for campers who wish to perform the theme shabad during the camp week.
Theme Shabad - Gursikh Meet Chalo Gur Chaalee (Raag Dhanasari)
All Groups - Gur Mere Sang Sadaa Hai Naale (Shabad for beginners)
Group A Shabad - Rakha Ek Hamara Suamee (Raag Bhairo)
Group B Shabad - Jihvaa Ek Kavan Gun Kahiye (Sung in Raag Sarang)
Group C Shabad - Apnay Satgur Ke Balihaare (Raag Sorath)

THEME SHABAD (CONT’D) TRANSLATION
We have become totally blind as we are very much indulged in the poison (Materialistic things). How can we walk on the Path that was shown to us by the Guru? It is only possible if the True Guru, the Giver of peace through his kindness make us to follow his path. ||1||
O Sikhs of the Guru, my friends, walk on the Guru's Path. It is in our best interest to accept whatever the Guru says; the sermon of Waheguru is unique and wonderful. ||1||Pause||
O Saintly people, my brothers, pay attention to what I say: Serve your Guru - Listen and act upon the teachings of the Guru. Act quickly without any delay! Let your service to the True Guru be your true wealth that will be your sustenance as you walk on Guru's Path; Do not keep postponing it till tomorrow. ||2||
O Saintly people, keep Waheguru always close to your heart. This will enable you to walk along side with Waheguru and thus help you to willingly accept Waheguru’s Will. Those who have learnt to dearly remember Waheguru have become identical to Waheguru. This is how one becames one with Waheguru. ||3||
O Lord of the world-forest! I have a strong longing to be with You; have Mercy upon me. Please unite your servant Nanak with the Company of the saintly people so that I can learn from them how to walk on Guru’s Path. ||4||4|

You are the Giver, O Lord, O Cherisher, my Master, my Husband Lord. Each and every moment, You cherish and nurture me; I am Your child, and I rely upon You alone. ||1||
I have only one tongue - which of Your Glorious Virtues can I describe? Unlimited, infinite Lord and Master - no one knows Your limits. ||1||Pause||
You destroy millions of my sins, and teach me in so many ways. I am so ignorant - I understand nothing at all. Please honor Your innate nature, and save me! ||2||
I seek Your Sanctuary - You are my only hope. You are my companion, and my best friend. Save me, O Merciful Saviour Lord; Nanak is the slave of Your home. ||3||12||

A BIG THANK YOU TO TAMPA SANGAT!
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
This has been a truly humbling response from the Tampa Sangat to encourage the volunteers to organize an event of this magnitude in a short time span. The vision of organizing the camp took fruition from the idea of brining the community together.
The exemplary support and generous donations provided by the Sangat has enabled us to focus not only on the content of the camp but also has allowed us to provide some basic facilities to the campers during the camp. For example, this gurmat camp will see the introduction of eco- friendly disposables for the campers, which we plan to carry forward to our regular Sunday Divaans.
Needless to say, we look forward to your support and guidance in our future endeavors as well.
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
