Electrifying Nitnem
by Guest mehtab- 3 replies

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Pyaari Saadh Sangat jee, being a student of electrical engineering who tries reciting the daily Banis, i felt like expressing an electrifying experience regarding the Nitnem Banis. Lets suppose that our soul is a motor. A motor on which dust has accumulated. So before starting it we need to clear of the dust. This is done by repeating or meditating on WAHEGURU for sometime before starting Nitnem. Once the dust is cleared, the motor is ready to be started. Japuji Sahib is the starter and charges the motor, generating the least minimum voltage. No wonder it is said that if a Sikh practices just one Bani, it must be Japuji Sahi…

Thankless Human

Monday,July 3rd,2000 Stillwater,Oklahoma Yet again I have managed to pen down my present state of mind. I have been so ungrateful to my beloved LORD. Never did I recognise HIS Grace in all that happened with me. Never did I thank HIM for what had happened,instead always blamed HIM for anything which i judged as a wrong happening to me. Never did I apologize for the sins I committed,and yet HE,my All-Forgiving LORD pardoned all my sins once I looked upto HIM. Hatred and anger filled my heart,and the world seemed to be betraying me every moment of my life. Every time HE wanted to teach me a lesson,HE put me in a seemingly chaotic situation,and then HE Himsel…

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! This is a poem I wrote last night, expresses how 'naam' is the only support which has brought productivity, peace, bliss, and love into my life :D Har Naam Adhaar (The naam is my support) I have no achievements, merit, intellect, nor progress. Kindness bestowed awakened this once widowed soul. Hope, desire, and support immersed with love lit the way. Soon the miseries of separation seized...instantaneously… Moments, and my widowed soul was wed. I was wed to the everlasting Husband-Lord. My Husband-Lord adorned me with jewels of devotion, grace, and humility. Naam became my support, Guru Maharaj Jee the guid…

Its slightly long one ... But definitely worth the read .. "Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ." The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. "You're a Christian, aren't you, son?" "Yes sir," the student says. "So you believe in God?" "Absolutely." "Is God good?" "Sure! God's good." "Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?" "Yes." "Are you good or evil?" "The Bible says I'm evil." The professor grins knowingly. "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a moment 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. you can do it. Would you help …

My sword is my companion my warrior and friend, Not to be offensive but sworn to defend, The infusion of steel runs through my veins, Making me immune from sorrow and pain, The flash of my Guru’s sword awakens the sleeping soul, Without the sword I can never be whole, The sword of the Guru is the giver of life, Before the soul was barren now it is ripe, I am the saint and the soldier that walks in peace, I am the humble dust of your feet, But don’t think my spirituality makes me weak, The heavens will roar if my sword were to speak

A Wake-up Call Kanwarjit Singh For if you keep on sleeping, You will never stop weeping, It is already much too late, For you to further sit and wait. Your religion is being hijacked, Your very ethos is being attacked, You will remain just a pawn, If wisdom, on you, does not dawn. Your image has been battered, Your prestige has been shattered, Where once you were addressed with respect, You are now branded - a terrorist. Sikhs are a successful community, But have failed to promote their unity. Today they are without direction, Which needs a lot of introspection. Look at the plight of Sikhs today, Oh! Look at the price they pay, The price of Disunity an…

Ingredients of a Sikh One part saint, one part soldier, One part that's always learning As one grows older. One part service, one part sword, One part that's ever-evolving On life's drawing-board. One part spiritual, one part political, One part that aims to expose All that's hypocritical. One part fearless, one part unthreatening, One part that continues to hear When the din is deafening. One part meditative, one part martial, One part that's eyes remain open Yet is completely impartial. One part kettle, one part kirpan, One part that keeps collecting knowledge As the clock ticks on. One part kirtan, one part prayer, One part that …

This can be recited anytime Dhansari Mahla Panjva Aukhi ghari na dekhan daiyee apna birdh samalay, Hath daye rakhay apnay kau sas sas pritpalay, Prabh siyu lag rahiyo mera cheet, Aad ant Prabhu sada sahayee dhan hamara meet. (Rahau) Mun bilas bhayay sahib kay achraj dekh badaee, Har simar simar anand kar Nanak, Prabh pooran paij rakhaee. The lord does not allow his servants to face their difficult hours alone; this is his prerogative. With his protecting hand, He takes care of His own servants at every moment of their lives. Let your heart remain attached to the Lord. From the beginning of life to its end, the Lord is ever our Helper. How great is the Lord. (…

Sat Sri Akal: Got this in e-mail. Very inspirational. __________________________________________________________ GURNAM SINGH - ADDICTED By Harjit Singh Lakhan (harjit@sikh-heroes.com) 5 Aug 2003 My friend Gurnam Singh in Birmingham told me his story at a kids camp July 2002. He used to be a drug pusher and addict on the streets of manchester. He ran away from home aged 13 and lived with thieves and druggies. He kidnapped, raped and other unspeakable things in order to get money for drugs. Only his mother believed in him, that he was better than that. She used to see him once a month and go to gurdwara do shoe seva with a handkerchief and wipe that on his forehea…
