http://www.lighttravel.org/mem/LtrS01.htm In January 1996, at the age of 35 1/2, I was lying on a beach in the central area of Chile, enjoying my vacation, recovering from the last colon attacks I had had during the past couple months, from working in the stressful atmosphere of a lawyer, dealing daily with all sorts of problems... As usual, I had taken several books with me to read during those 10 days of complete relaxation. Two of the books spoke about the benefits of meditation in your health (Deepak Chopra and Louise Hay) and how quick you recover from illness and surgery if you have been a meditator. That was the moment I decided I was going to find out more a…

http://www.lighttravel.org/mem/LtrS03.htm It's a story of Love, of His Love, which He's showing to all of us - to all Singhs and Singhnees, to all His children and even to those who never in their life even heard such word as 'S-I-K-H-I'. And I will tell you this story, because it's my story as well. I was born in Moscow in quite normal Russian family, with Mother and Father and few relatives. The whole thing started for me at the autumn of 1996, I was 16 at that time and just started my Uni. One day I was in the bus on my way to university and I saw someone in the window. That was a tall guy, bearded and TURBANED! And that was first time in my life as I ever even saw a …

http://www.lighttravel.org/mem/LtrS02.htm I was not born to Sikh parents in this lifetime. Most people figure that out quite quickly that even though my name is obviously Indian in origin and my dress is unusual as well, I am an American, born and raised in the United States. At that point, I think one of the most common questions I'm asked, as soon as people start to feel comfortable with my white dress and turban is "What made you decide to become a Sikh?" I first began to discover who I really was in the 1960's. Like most of my generation in the West, I grew up singing our anthems; the anthems of our time; the anthems of a new awaking consciousness. …

<H2 title="Subsection title">Sikh calendar</H2> Sikh girls at flag pole ceremony Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Hounslow Middlesex © The Sikh calendar is called the Nanakshahi Calendar and takes its name from Guru Nanak, who founded Sikhism. Other religions, like Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism, have long had their own calendars. But for most of its history Sikhism has used the traditional Vikrami (or Bikrami) calendar, shared by Sikhs and Hindus in North India, to set the date of its festivals. The Nanakshahi Calendar was implemented in 2003 and is seen by Sikhs as a big step forward for Sikh identity, and one that will help dispel any suggestio…

Sikhism was born in the Punjab area of South Asia, which now falls into the present day states of India and Pakistan. The main religions of the area at the time were Hinduism and Islam. The Sikh faith began around 1500 CE, when Guru Nanak began teaching a faith that was quite distinct from Hinduism and Islam. Guru Nanak © Nine Gurus followed Nanak and developed the Sikh faith and community over the next centuries. <H2 title="Subsection title">Militarisation of the Sikhs</H2>Sikhism was well established by the time of Guru Arjan, the fifth Guru.

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.
