Hi Can anyone give me some simran tips. I try to listen to myself saying waheguru. Sometimes I feel a lot of emotion, sometimes I feel like I am just saying Waheguru and it’s all blank. I feel like when I was making progress in feeling a lot of love my stupid ego ruined it because I told someone and now nothing. I just want to be close to Waheguru and spiritually progress and stop caring about worldly rubbish and control my panj chor and just basically eventually go to the right place ?

Been reading old punjabi books recently and they have a page titled "bhumika" what does that mean? Its normally just the author talking about the book and subject. And then "thathkra" I guess means the content? As under thathkra they list the content of the book and what is is discussed in what page. Also some1 gave me this old translation of Guru Nanaks janamsakhi it's like a punjabi translation and under the title it says "bha : chattr singh and jivan singh" What does "bha" mean are they the authors? Never heard these words before.

I remember katha by maskeen ji in which he was once attending katha with one mahapurakh . This was in harmandar sahib complex. And after katha , two youngsters started fighting amongst each and other for some reason and one youngster even started bleed a little. And the mahapurakh upon seeing this and pondering deep . Maskeen ji remarked "its sad they have done this fighting and one of them bleeding". the mahapurkh said "little bit of bleeding ? what I am seeing is there will be rivers of blood flowing here". And maskeen ji said same thing happened unfortunately in op. bluestar. so how far into future can brahmgyanis see ?

It was interesting to see monotheistic vibes inside perhaps one of the oldest scripture of world. And it was composed in punjab btw , around 2000 BCE, so approx 4 thousand yrs ago if not older "They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuṇa, Agni, and he is heavenly nobly-winged Garutmān. To what is One, sages give many a title — they call it Agni, Yama, Mātariśvan." ~ Rigveda 1.164.46 Then there's also the famous hiranya-garbha (golden womb) hymn eulogizing this single creator, best of all deities In the beginning was the Divinity in his splendour, manifested as the sole Lord of land, skies, water, space and that beneath and…

Prominent historian DN Jha, an expert in India's ancient and medieval past, in his new book, "Against the Grain: Notes on Identity, Intolerance and History", in a sharp critique of "Hindutva ideologues", who look at the ancient period of Indian history as "a golden age marked by social harmony, devoid of any religious violence", has said, "Demolition and desecration of rival religious establishments, and the appropriation of their idols, was not uncommon in India before the advent of Islam". The book says, "Central to (Hindutva) perception is the belief that Muslim rulers indiscriminately demolished Hindu temples and broke Hindu idols. They relentlessly propagate the ca…

Menaka was a stunningly beautiful Apsara who captured the hearts of the Devas, Suras and Asuras alike. An Apsara is a celestial nymph or a celestial maiden, with spiritual powers. Youthful and vibrant, they are also well-versed in all the fine arts. They are married to the Gandharvas and serve Indra in his court, by singing and dancing to the music created by their husbands. Apsaras are believed to be capable of changing their shape at will. The four most famous Apsaras are Urvashi, Rambha, Tilottama and Menaka. Out of them, Menaka was the one who was the most beautiful, as also the most powerful. Fearing that Vishwamitra's steep spiritual rise would enable him to overthr…

Mara is Ego/mind. Its similar to us when we do Naam Simran, our mind constantly distracting us. In Buddhism, Mara is the demon who assaulted Gautama Buddha beneath the bodhi tree, using violence, sensory pleasure and mockery in an attempt to prevent the Buddha from attaining enlightenment. In Buddhist cosmology, Mara personifies unskillfulness, the "death" of the spiritual life. He is a tempter, distracting humans from practicing the Buddhist dharma through making the mundane seem alluring, or the negative seem positive. Buddhism utilizes the concept of Mara to represent and personify negative qualities found in the human ego and psyche. The stories associ…
