Dear Veerji, Thanks for this amazing katha, its so sweet and touching. I look forward to other precious gems you have in your collection. Thanks again for sharing!

Bhai Panthpreet Singh Sant Baba Seva Singh Ji Rampur Khera Wale

I was just wondering if someone could please explain to me the importance and relevance of having shastar prakash in front of Guru Ji's Palki.

You gotta admit though, that tune is quite catchy.

I like the idea of reciting Anand Sahib and having the salok read just as the clock is about to strike midnight. Any other ideas? Please share

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! I've started this topic to find out and get some ideas on how your Gurdwara celebrates new year's eve. Surely, there is no better way to start off the new year at the stroke of midnight than at the charan of Guruji. So what does your Gurdwara do for new years eve? What happens at midnight? Are particular shabads recited? Thanks Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

<br /><br /><br /> what i have heard is that the reason they walk with the girl is because she used to cover her face so she couldnt see anything so the male relatives used to help her... this is totally against gurmat... I have heard this as well. This is because the woman use to display "jhund" with her chunni - which covered her entire face and hence was unable to see in front of her. Of course, this was a Panjabi cultural tradition, which is no longer practiced today. However, it was still prevalent up to 20-30 years ago.

Here's another link, http://www.realsikhism.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1192337048&ucat=6

That picture is from the famous Sarbat Khalsa of 1986 at Akal Takhat Sahib, when a formal declaration of Khalistan was announced. You can view the picture here: http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Sarbat_Khalsa

Such a sweet voice, one can truly see that Bhai Rama Singh Ji truly was blessed with Naam, and this Naam resonated to others when he spoke. A true gem of the panth. Dhan Guru, Dhan Guru Pyare!

I think I may have heard or read somewhere that Sant Baba Mohan Singh Ji of Damdami Taksal also published a teeka of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib. Could someone verify this?

Matheen Veer Jeo, what about pandit Narain Singh ji's steek of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib? Im planning to get it soon, could you confirm if its complete in that its got charitars as well? Thanks! PJS Veerji I am doing ardaas for you so you can quickly get Giani Narain Singh ji's sateek and share it with sangat. I understand this will be a laborious task, and if I could in any way help out, I would. The least I can do is do ardaas that you keep in chardi kala in this endeavor.

The link mentioned above contains writings by Pritpal Singh Binda, a Canadian who has translated Charitropakhyan and Hikayats. It must be mentioned that sangat be careful and be advised that Bindra is no authority on Sri Dasam Granth as he has done no research on the subject, nor does he have any qualifications to translate any portion of Sri Dasam Granth because he has self-admitted that he lack knowledge of Brij language. Furthermore, he has self-declared that he doesn't believe Sri Dasam Granth to be the writings of Guru Gobind Singh. It is interesting to note that if he don't belief this to be Gurbani, then why waste your time and translate portions of Sri Dasam Granth and distribute it in public? Therefore, his views must be scrutinized. This is not an authentic translation of Hikayats.

I like how you've specially set aside time to drink milk, yet fail to mention when get ready (e.g. put on your clothes/tie a dastaar). Unless you go to school nanga, ahaha! BTW, do you drink warm milk (desi style) with almonds ?
