Very few Sikhs have probably heard of this man, yet there isn't a Gurdwara around the world which hasn't got his paintings hanging on the walls. He painted our ithiaas and his work has inspired countless Sikhs to get into Sikhi. Kirpal Singh was born on 10 December 1923 in village Zira Chain Singh Wala, Ferozpur District. Kirpal Singh was born into a Ramgharia family, and from a young age was inspired by his fathers work who was a talented craftsmen. Kirpal Singh was a self taught artist and never went to art school. In 1940 Kirpal Singh visited historical Gurdware like Bhai Taru Singh, Bhai Mani Singh, Dehra Sahib and Shaheedganj in Lahore and learnt about the sacrifices…

By writing one the Guru showed the real traits of God. 3. He has no caste or creed and is free from such things. 4. He who is immortal. He is one. 5. He is the only conscious object and has the shape of oneness. During Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's travels, he visited Kanshi.

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well. -
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.
