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…

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji: the softener of hearts Once some prominent Sikhs asked Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji Maharaj, as to who was greater of the two brothers (Baba Har Krishan Sahib Ji and Baba Ram Rai Sahib Ji) in spiritual achievements and virtues of saintliness. Satguru Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji asked Baba Har Krishan Sahib Ji to deliver a sermon based on the interpretation of a Hymn in the Granth Sahib. So stirring and illuminating was the sermon delivered by Baba Har Krishan, that the Chroniclers says, "all listeners were deeply moved by the ennobling and light-shedding interpreta¬tion of the Hymn. While Baba Har Krishan Sa…

A faithful Sikh and his wife lived in a village. They had no children. One day a group of Sikhs on their way to see Guru Har Gobind stayed at their house. Both husband and wife entertained the Sikhs as best they could. When the party was about to leave, the couple asked them to pray that their wish to have a son might be fulfilled. The Sikhs prayed for the gift of a son in the family and advised the couple to meditate on God, work honestly and help the needy. The couple faithfully acted upon the advice of the Sikhs and by the grace of God, after a time they had a beautiful son. They named him Gurmukh (the Guru's Follower). The devoted parents often told stories about the …

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,…

While reading Guru Granth Sahib Darphan by Prof. Sahib Singh Ji I was reading the introduction of Baba Farid Jee's Sloks I noticed some interesting facts that go again't what I have heard in katha done by Giani Thakur Singh and Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji on the sloks of Baba Farid Ji. Prof. Sahib Singh Writes that the Bani of Baba Farid Ji in Guru Granth Sahib Ji is of Baba Farid Jee the first, not Sheikh Brama, Sheikh Ibrahim. 2. Farid Jee got "Ghang Shakar" added to his name not because of the story we all know but that his life was sweet and people were attracted to him. 3. also another interesting note is in Prof Ji's book "Adi Birh Barai" My link that the Pothis' b…

When I was little, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the floor and ask what she was doing. She informed me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the boundaries of the little round hoop that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked messy from where I sat. She would smile at me, look down and gently say, "You go about your playing for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering I will put you on my knee and let you see it from my side." I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the br…

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me." "Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him." "There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg.

WaheGuru Je Ka Khalsa WaheGuru Je ke Fateh, I dont know if there has been a topic like this before, but there are some questions that lingers in my mind about getting bald or losing hair. An example, if you are a Amritdhari and your are beginning to get bald how can you still wear your kangi? I mean if there is no hair to tie your yura how can you use your kangi?? Gettin bald is just a part of life that we must accept, but isnt that when you loose your kesh even by nature its forcing down your strength? Well whats the sangats view?
