The life of Guru Gobind Singh Ji can be divided into the following main periods: 1. At Patna Sahib 1666 – 1673 It is said that for the first six or seven years Guru Sahib ji remained in Patna while his father Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji returned from the east and journeyed homewards towards Punjab in early 1668. Early schooling of young Gobind Rai was done at Patna. Guru Sahib Ji’s compositions are mainly written in the literary language of this area. He studied not only the Bihari language but also Sanskrit, Persian and Arabic. Before Guru Sahib Ji left Patna, he was a noted as a great marksman whose arrows never missed their target. Many elderly and saintly people saw …

Hi people, im new to this site. I have been amritdhari for a long time now but I have never really been comfortable with it. The main reason is because of my appearance...i dont feel confident having a long dhari and I am just not the same confident person i used to be. everytime i leave the house and walk down the street i am soo consious about how i look and i find that even when im talkin to people im thinkin about how i look to them. I kno it might seem very vain but im struggling with it and i always have been. if i was to cut my dhari then i wud still do my paath and do all the things that i love about sikhi but the only thing that wud be diferent wud be that i t…

Bani referes to Mind at at many places. I have following questions that the honorable members may like to advise on. 1.What exactly is this mind? 2.Is it tangible or intangible? 3.What happens to mind when we die? 4.What is its seat in our body or otherwise.? 5.How Simran goes with us in the next life? It should be thru. the mind or the soul? 6.Does mind also die with the physical death? 7. Are we born with the mind that we leave behind after the death? Kindly support your answers with bani's quote and I shall be highly oblidged. Regards to all.

A Sikh once came into the darbar of Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj asked this question, "O True Emperor, holy men have risen above worldly attachment. By what thought are they aided? Attachment is a very chronic ailment of mankind. By what method have they risen above this? Please, be kind and explain it to us." "I will tell you the way the saints have conquered attachment to the world. They regard the material possessions as a dream. Just as what you see in a dream, does not exist when you wake up, in the same way saints have woken up to the real knowledge (gyan). All objects of the world appear to be transient to them," explained Maharaj. Satguru Sri Guru G…

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.
