Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh Reading some quite unrelated stuff, a question came into mind today: Does Akal Purakh's Sargun roop equal to Maya? Or is there Sargun beyond it? If there is, what is it and how is it known? Hoping to hear some bright answers from you. I do not know myself. Thanks Jio. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh Vasakhi diyaan aap nu te aap jee de saare parvaar nu daas vallo lakh lakh vadhaiyaan The Mughal spy Abu Al Turani was instructed by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to keep a watchful eye on Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and act as the Emperor's informer to keep him (the Emperor) informed of all the activities and movements of the Guru. Turani stayed in Anandpur Sahib dressed as a Brahmin, and whenever he would go to pay his respects to Kalgidhar Shahenshah, Maharaj would smile at him and treat him with respect, inspite of knowing who he was. Turani would be scared as deep down he knew that Guru Sahib…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! I couple of weeks back, i was having a discussion with some amazing gursikhs about Singh/SInghniah of the past whos jeevans, sacrifices are still very much with us today........ It made me sad to think that todays panth is toiled in much strife, controversy and division that..........when our beautiful children are born into this dark age.....what can we, as parents, aunts, uncles, etc give them to see the golden spark of Sikhi? nowadays, freash faced angles who are literally ready to die for their Guru, begging for amrit are ensnared in confusion as to which "jatha" they should iniate themselves into....... A benti to mak…

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh These 2 files attached are from newspapers that came out in India in 1984. A friend of mine told me his dad saved them when they came out. The first one came out after Operation Bluestar, and the second one came after the anti-Sikh genocide in November 1984. I shall send more as and when he sends them to me. http://e.domaindlx.com/punjabtiger/Eye%20w...my%20action.pdf http://e.domaindlx.com/punjabtiger/Politic...y%20Revenge.pdf Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh ~ Mehtab Singh

http://www.inlovingmemoryofbhainirmalsingh.blogspot.com/ A new Blogspot has been created in loving memory of Bhai Nirmal Singh Ji to enable everyone to share experiences they had with Bhai Sahib and how he impacted on their lives. The family have been overwhelmed by the number of tributes being made since he departed on various forums on the internet, by emails, text messages as well as in person. With God’s grace, these shared experiences may help the children of Bhai Nirmal Singh to see the side of their father that they were yet to see; to appreciate the difference their father made to so many lives, so that they can understand the passion he had for Sikhi. Peopl…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh One day Sant Baba Harnam Singh Ji was making his way to the home of Guru Sahib at Sachkhand Sri Anandpur Sahib Ji. At this time Sant Ji was extremely weak and could only walk a little while before he had to stop and rest. Many people saw Sant Ji struggling up the road but no one stopped and offered to help this beloved flower of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. A Sikh who was sat on a bullock cart saw Sant Ji staggering and offered him a ride up to Kapurthala, where he was going. Sant Ji accepted the ride and sat in the cart with the Sikh who looked very worried. As they travelled the Sikh told Sant Ji that he was going to court …

When you see geese flying along in "V" formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another. When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone - and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the l…

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." "Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No", she said. "He's out." "Then we cannot come in," they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a House together", they replied. "Why is that?" she wanted to know. One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his …

A little girl's Grandfather took her to the fish pond on the farm when she was about seven, and he told her to throw a stone into the water. He told her to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked her to think of herself as that stone person. "You may create lots of splashes in your life but the waves that comes from those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures", he said. "Remember that you are responsible for what you put into your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles. You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes…

I have in my hands two boxes Which God gave me to hold He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black, And all your joys in the gold." I heeded his words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and sorrows I store But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black I wanted to find out why And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be." He smiled a gentle smile at me. "My child, they're all here with me." I asked, "God, why give me the boxes, "Why the gold, and the black with the hole?" "M…

Bhai Sehajo was a sikh who complained everyday to the guru about the lack of dhan in his life. Everyday, he would do ardas and tell the guru to send him more Maya. One night, he had a dream: he heard a voice tell him that he would find a man at the edge of the forest the next morning who would give him a dazzling heart-shaped diamond. Needless to say, Bhai Sahajo awoke early the next morning and ran to the edge of the forest. And sure enough, there he found a naami gursikh in samadhi. Even though the Bhai Sehajo's heart was beating wildly with excitement, he couldn't resist being enveloped by the stillness and the grace of the naami gursikh's samadhi and despite himsel…

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.
