Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh One day after the morning congregation was over a man brought a large bear into the darbar of Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj.

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh ਕਬੀਰ ਪਾਰਸ ਚੰਦਨੈ ਤਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਹੈ ਏਕ ਸੁਗੰਧ ॥ Kabīr pāras cẖanḏnai ṯinĥ hai ėk suganḏẖ.

PRITHIA'S EVIL DEEDS For long, no son had been born to Guru Arjan. His eldest brother, Prithia, and Prithia's wife, Karmo, were glad they had a son named Mehar-ban. They thought that after Guru Arjan their son would be the Guru. It was a pleasing thought for them. But then, by God's grace, a son was born to Guru Arjan Dev. He was named Sri Har Gobind. This event destroyed all their hopes. They were filled with grief. Their hearts began to burn. Prithia was mean, evil and most selfish. His wife was even worse than he. She urged him to do something. He said to her, 'Don't lose heart. Our son shall be the Guru after Arjan. What if a son has been born to him? I will not all…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh After a while Bhai Chand Daas woke up. He then tried to open his eyes but could not. As Bhai Chand Daas pulled himself of the floor he shouted for help but no one was there to hear his calls. He slowly moved his hands towards his eyes where he felt two iron rods, which had been hammered into his eye sockets. At first he began to cry but then he remembered that he had prayed to Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. With newfound courage he took Akaal Purakh’s name on his lips and began to pull out the first spike from his right eye. As he did this blood began to flow from his eyes across his face and down towa…

He had a shop where he used to sell atta, daal etc. Bhai Cheeya jee was a Sikh of Guru Nanak Dev jee and used to work as a daily laborer. At the end of the day he used to go to Baba Lehna jee’s shop to buy atta and daal. For past few days Bhai Cheeya jee didn’t get any work so he couldn’t go over to Baba Lehna jee’s shop. Finally one day when he got the job, he went over to Baba Lehna jee’s shop to buy atta and daal. Baba jee asked Bhai sahib that why didn’t he come over for past few days and if he found another shop. Bhai sahib jee replied b…

the passage entitled Our Long Tresses, taken from the chapter The Garden of Simran: Don't you know these tresses of ours are the wandering waves of the sea of illusion? Guru Gobind Singh gathered the waves of the Ocean of Consciousness as the mother gathers the hair of the child. What is man but an ocean of consciousness. The master washed them, combed them and bound them in a knot as the vow of the future manhood which shall know no caste, not distinction between man and man, and which shall work for the peace and amity of spiritual brotherhood. He who wears His knot of hair is a brother to all men, freed of all ill-feeling of selfishness. He is to be on the bayonet's p…

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh Guru Saheb deleted the vichaar I was typing : ) so this is by Bhai Kulpreet Singh, taken from the message board at www.akj.org. I have many personalities, many little me’s in the big, bold, egotistical I. So full of myself that I call myself “we,” and use “our,” and “us.” In reality it is just me, my full-of-my-self-egotistical-maniacal self… In our conversation, in our presentation, in our appearance we are nice, sweet, and impressive. Our character, however, is otherwise. We talk nicely, we write nicely, we walk nicely, and we are able to make others believe that we are nice. Yet our traits are terrible. We sow the seeds …

The NAME IS GOD by Swami Ramdas GOD and' His Name are not distinct from one another. Name is God Himself. The moment we think of the Name, our mind is filled with the presence of God. There is no easier way of focusing thought upon God than taking constantly His Name. When we repeat the Name aloud, we feel our heart is flooded with the ecstasy of love, because the sound of the Divine Name awakens the heart to the bliss and love of God. ALTHOUGH the mental repetition of the Name is held to be far more efficacious than the verbal repetition, still the rare experience of sweetness and joy derived by uttering the Name aloud is incomparable. When the entire being of the …

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.
