Difficult Times

He does not let His devotees see the difficult times; this is His innate nature. Giving His hand, He protects His devotee; with each and every breath, He cherishes him My consciousness remains attached to God. In the beginning, and in the end, God is always my helper and companion; blessed is my friend. My mind is delighted, gazing upon the marvelous, glorious greatness of the Lord and Master. Remembering, remembering the Lord in meditation, Nanak is in ecstasy; God, in His perfection, has protected and preserved his honor. (Page 682, SGGS JI)

Dr. Yogi Kaur Part 2 First, I want to state clearly, my family and I are very thankful to be baptised followers of the Sikh religion. We have no problems with Sikhism at all, except for the exclusionary behavior of the majority of congregations all over the world. So, as you read what I write, please don't think, well they dislike the religion --- Because that is far from the truth. And, I want you to know that: Retxab is right about this, because I was a Bahai (who grew up as a Christian and became a Bahai later). My husband was a Bahai when we met too. There is alot of racial, cultural, and ethnic diversity in the Bahai Faith, which was founded by Persians and began …

Sharing in His Name A holy man awoke one morning and took a look outside his window and thought "What a wonderful morning you have given us!" He bathed and did some Simran and Paath. After he had finished he thought he would make himself something to eat, but he thought to himself "I think I shall feed another today in Gods name before I feed myself." So he got ready and set out to find someone to share his food with. As he walked through his village he came across many people and asked them whether they would like to share his food, they all thought he was mad and passed him by. Then, he saw an old man who was homeless and asked him if he would like to come to his hous…

Shoes

In New York City, on a cold day in December, a little boy about 10 years old was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?" "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply. The lady took him by the hand and went into the store and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down,…

I am Amanpreet Kaur, a 22 year old girl born in Ludhiana, Punjab. When I was 19, studying BCA, I fell in love with a Hindu boy named Sameer. We would talk for hours and it was clear that he loved me back. We would always talk about living a happy life together but never really discussed religion. Religion is a big part of life in India. Indians are very religious people. My family was religious but they hardly told me anything about Sikhism. Everything I learned about Sikhism was from the school in which I studied ‘till twelfth grade. I knew about Guru Nanak Dev Ji and his teachings and that Sikhs are to worship one God only. I knew a little bit of the history, Sikhs fi…

Simran

"Perishable is all that you, O man, venture out of your soul to own. And without Simran, let me tell you, you cannot truly own yourself. Then up and gather the nuts of life, these hard things of repeating His Name and after death, you will know what great tresures you have gathered in the nuts of Naam. And those who have gathered other things, will find their empty hands smeared with soot. The quality of the soul shall determine your position in the universe, not your possessions, however beautiful. I have seen it. I ran away from this tedious task of repitition. But without it, without this symbolic act of love, I had no more passage into the Garden where He dwell…

Vahe Guru ji Ka Khalsa Vahe Guru Ji Kee Fateh!! Can anyone tell me that Are we getting smarter than sikhs in Guru ji's era or do we even think why so many singh were massacred. Why Guru Gobind Singh Ji sacrified his entire family for? What about the great warriors of Sikh religion why they fought and proceeded to sachkhand? Were they crazy or they just wanted to suicide? What was the source of their power working behind them that they fought with such abravery that even enemy couldn't rest without praising their bravery with which they fought and did maximum damage to enemy. They did everything just for us so that we could see a daylight today as Singhs and Kaurs. Why …

We have forgotten our uniqueness, separate and distinct identity and also our glorious heritage. To explicit our present situation there is a story which goes like this.... Lion --> Sheep --> Lion There was a lioness and her cub in a jungle. One day the lioness was short dead by some hunters and the lion cub in its search for its mother got mixed up in a herd of sheep. As the time went by, the lion cub acquired the habits of sheep, started eating grass, other leaves and also started drinking milk. Eventually, it even started to make meek sounds the sheep make. One day, a lion prowled the area and his roar sent all the sheep helter-skelter. Only the lion cub remain…

I would like to share one true story with all of you. It is about this one girl who was a follower of one living guru of the Radha Swami cult. One day, this girl listened to katha of Jaap Sahib and decided to take amrit. She did not tell her family members knowing that they would forbid it. On the day of amrit sanchaar she went to panj pyare but somehow her family members found out from someone and followed her. By the time they reached there, she was already inside Guru’s Darbar ready to take amrit. Her family members, especially her grandmother, started disparaging Amrit to the sevadar at the door and demanded she come out which by then was too late. They spoke filthil…

I have been listening to this one particular shabad for a long time but never realized the true meanings until I heard katha on it. Many times you will find Gurbani is the form of questions and answers. Guru Ji asks question first and then give answer. of course, no one knows the depth of Gurbani and no one has the ability to answer Guru Ji's questions. Take this question for example qY swihb kI bwq ij AwKY khu nwnk ikAw dIjY ] thai saahib kee baath j aakhai kahu naanak kiaa dheejai || One who brings me a message from my Lord and Master - says Nanak, what shall I give to Him? Now take a look at the answer. sIsu vFy kir bYsxu dIjY ivxu isr syv krIjY ] sees vadtae …

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
