   "love Thy Neighbor"

   So... I'm supposed to do a reading for our high school baccalaureate ceremony tomorrow and the theme is "Love Thy Neighbor." I've been looking for something related to brotherhood, because I'm sure "Love Thy Neighbor" isn't a major idea in any shabad, but I'm having trouble on my own. Anyone have any ideas for the theme of brotherhood, or any other theme I may be able to pull off? Thanks so much in advance!!

   Visiting Gurdwara 1 2

   January 7, 2008 by Shivaji

   • 17 replies
   • 4k views

   Namaste all. I've been invited by Punjabi friends of mine to visit a Gurdwara later this week sometime. I really don't know all that much about Sikhism, and I certainly don't know a lot about visiting a Gurdwara, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me how a typical service in a Gurdwara goes, and if there's anything non-Sikhs should do (or can't do) while visiting a Gurdwara?

   He Alone Is Known As A Spiritual Warrior

   • 3.5k views

   He Alone Is Known As A Spiritual Warrior In Sikhi, we learn to balance the Saint and Soldier aspects of our lives. This means we fight a war throughout our entire lives in the battlefield of our minds. The daily battle is to neutralise the 5 Evils of Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Egotism and Guru Ji equips us with the Shastar of the Lord's Name. Spiritual Warriors like Bhai Mani Singh Ji were cut piece by piece with hatchets but remained true to their faith. Gurbani is the greatest weapon as it pierces where those hatchets cannot reach. Once we equip ourselves with this Shastar then nothing can conquer us and we see ourselves as an instrument in the hands of the Lor…

   vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh (Taken from DiscoverSikhi.com, originally posted by Jasleen Kaur.) A man limps into the main hall of the Fremont Gurdwara. His walk is that peculiar shuffle of someone who has had both legs broken and learned to walk again. his beard is full and black, eyes strong, head high. He is not old enough to be suffering so much pain from the simple act of walking. When he bows his matha tek, his feet tell a horror story of pain. blackened stripes scar the soles of his feet. the hallmark of the Punjab Police- red hot iron bars used to beat the soles... as if by beating the sole they can break the soul. He walks to the side of the Palki…

    VahiguroojikakhalsaVahiguroojikifateh Ji, This thread will give further structure of methodology framework in Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji. After watching discussions on forums and taking notes of many debates/discussions of both pro and against stance on sri dasam granth sahib ji videos on youtube, forum discussions and sri dasam granth sahib ji websites I came to an opnion (which surely should be corrected by learned gursikhs if my opinions are wrong) that more and more debate of sri dasam granth sahib happening these days are based on two mindset. First mindset believes in certain compositions in sri dasam granth sahib ji cannot be included by sri guru gobind singh ji …

    I just noticed that sikhlionz.com has done the wonderful seva of typing up certain parts of bhai rama singh ji's book, "In Search of the True Guru/Roop Gobind Ka Raj Khalse Da Sikha Sone Ka. Read the bits online but I also suggest buying the full copy, its great. My favourite section of the book was the section of bhai sahib's vision of khalsa raj,I thought I would paste it here from sikhlionz as an answer to all the khalsa raj questions, i know that people will doubt, but anyone who has met Bhai Sahib Bhai Rama Singh Ji will tell you he was a pooran brahmgyani who had had pertakh darshan of Guroo Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, given the mission of amrit parchar (as written in…
