Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Sikhi was never of any importance to me. I was still young, and always believed it was something that people did in their fifty’s to pass time. I wanted to “live life to the fullest,” and that wasn’t possible if I was living the lifestyle of a Sikh. I didn’t care to understand the concept of God, or why people had so much faith in Him. All I cared about was looking good, and having as much fun as I could before I got married (I knew my parents would marry me off to a Sikh). If I was to get into Sikhi it would be a lot later in my life. I had just turned 22, and because I had finished my degree and was able to support …

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh lately, i have been listening Bhai Surjan Singh Ji Ragi, and he is exceptionally good:D, though unfortunaltely i do not know a lot about him. All i know is when he was born and when he passed away (b.1911-1965) besides this i don't know anything else. If anyone knows anything about Bhai Surjan Singh could they please share the information. Thank you:D Daas Dalvir Singh Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

If it wasn't for Maharaj, There'd be no you and me. The world wouldn't be here, No one would have a destiny. No stream would ever flow, And the sun wouldn't shine. The flowers wouldn't grow, There'd be nothing to find. Love, as we know it, Just might not exist, If not for Maharaj... So much would be missed.

Are there any restrictions for a Sikh to donate organs after death? In fact if the soul transends the physical body, and organ donation can only do good to relieve suffering, should all Sikhs consider it a moral (if not religious) obligation to donate their bodies after death?

Adapted from the lectures of Yogi Bhajan. The Mul Mantra is a fate killer. It removes the fate and changes the destiny to complete prosperity. The first pauri is an antidote to depression. It will lift you from the deepest depression, insecurity, nightmares and loss. The second pauri imparts patience and stability. The third pauri transforms insufficiency, turns depression into elevation and transforms low self-esteem into complete self confidence. The fourth pauri blesses those trapped in feelings of poverty and lack of means. It blasts through the trap of these feelings like a thunderbolt from the blue. The fifth pauri must be recited when you feel a sense of…

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.
