A King named Suraj (Sun) had eight sons. The youngest of the eight named ‘Shani’ (Saturn) was from his second queen. He was black, ugly and lazy.

Lazy Shani would not even earn his living. Whatever grams was made available to him by his brothers, he would live on it. His sisters-in-law had named him eater of seven ty…

Originally posted in 2010 on sikhawareness.com: The maharajah’s European doctor John Martin Honigberger, a native of Kronstadt in Transylvania (no Dracula jokes please!), was a medical man.

Firstly I want everyone to share their opinion on this. This is not a debate this is just to share opinions. I believe that these hindu gods kinda exist. By that I mean I belive they are legandary and I believe Gurbani says the same. Legendary meaning people like them existed but the storys are likely embellish or false. One point people bring up to show that the Guru supports their existence and all the events associated with them is chobis avtar. This path was wrriten by Guru Gobind Singh no denying that but what style of writing/genre is it. I belive firstly it a translation the Guru gave to the people with his katha. I also belive that much of this is just l…

There is a Gurdwara in Dera Ismail Khan (Pakistan) called Gurdwara Kali Devi http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Gurdwara_Kali_Devi I want to know if it really is a Gurdwara or a Hindu Temple ? See the following photographs of the Gurdwara taken by me: I can not read Gurmukhi script so can any one identify if the below is really Gurmukhi. If its Gurmukhi then it would be a Gurdwara. Otherwise it would be a Hindu Temple. Thanks
