WaheguruJiKaKhalsaWaheguruJiKiFateh Sadh Sangat Ji, daas was wondering is anyone knew any information on Akali Phoola Singh Ji's moustache. daas had heard that it was so heavy that he could put grapefruits on it. However, daas has read nothing that backsup this claim. Could anyone please provide a link, or any documentation in which it states the above claim. The reason daas is asking is because my cousin is having a huge debate that things such as this cannot be true, and that over time people just "jazzed" up and exaggerated stories. But please, try to provide any information to prove or disprove this claim. Thank you. - daas WaheguruJiKaKhalsaWaheguruJiKiFateh

My Soul cries out in pain, “Oh husband, oh husband” I have been separated from my beloved lord for so long! I am ashamed, and run around the village screaming, “Oh husband, oh husband” But Daas still cannot find him. I waste away my life Attached to the five evils. What kind of servant am I? Oh daas, can you not think of your master for even one second? Kaam pulls me through the village by the ear, All the other soul brides laugh at my misery. I still cannot find my husband. Oh daas, do you even look? Krodh beats my head like a drum, I yell and scream at the other soul brides, All my friends have left me, But daas, where is your only true friend? Have yo…

Better To Die Than To Live Alone Tulsee Das was a Hindu Saint and was blessed to write the Ramayan scriptures. When he was young he was devoted to reaching God and he struggled slowly on this path. When he got married he was head over heels in love with his beautiful wife, she became the sole reason for his living, everything he did was to please her. One day he surprised her with a gift - she was overwhelmed by his love and said, 'If you were devoted to God half as much as you are to me, I'm sure you would have reached God by now.' The words struck Tulsee Das to the core and his earlier life of devotion came flooding back to his mind, from that day on God became hi…

According to Sant Baba Waryam Singh Ji if ones is to benefit when going to the Gurdwara/Sadh Sangat they should do the following. Deriving Maximum Benefit from Satsang "If pride enters a devotees heart when he comes to attend a religious congregation, then he stands to gain nothing. Whoever wishes to derive the maximum benefit from a holy congregation, and to reap the fruit of crores of ‘yagyas’ (sacrificial rituals), should do the following four things. Look, you labour, but if you work in a wrong manner and sow seed in dry land, it does not sprout into plant. It is either burnt by heat or eaten by termite. Only seed that is sown in wet land, in the right manner, at …

Dass has seen lots of people wanting to keep hair, may it be Bibis or guys, but they just need that extra help and boost to do so. Dass has seen and dealt with a few people who think keeping hair is not necessary, this article was something that Dass was looking for in order to show people another way to look at why Sikhs keep our hair, and many Sikhs are asked why do you keep your hair? Many just say It’s apart of my religion, or "God made us like this". Many will argue the significant of hair, the purpose, there is not much online either, Health-wise hair growth is due to testosterone hormone in men, and lack of this in women is what makes their facial hair controlled,…

Imagine the following scenario: Just one person creates 20 000 Log-in I.D.’s and uses these different id’s to create different posts, reply to these posts, argue in these posts, compliment in these posts, post under different sub-forums etc. To the newcomer it will seem that they are dealing with 20 000 individual members when in fact it is only one person with numerous id’s. When we play games with small children in order to amuse ourselves we often pull faces, wear a mask, wear a veil, or try to disguise ourselves for the duration of the game. When the child becomes scared or distressed we remove our disguise,veil,mask etc. and reveal our true selves. The child’s fac…

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.
