WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Following on from this sakhi Guru Sahib therefore decided not to remain there, but proceed in the direction of the river Bias. On arriving at its margin Guru Sahib saw some of his beloved Sikhs carrying the holy Granth Sahib. Maharaj saluted and then bowed down before the holy Granth Sahib. Guru Ji then looked at his sikhs and said to them 'Dear sons of mine, are you sure that you have not brought any of Dhir Mal's property with you?' They replied that they had returned everything they had taken from him except the Granth Sahib which they had brought with them. Guru Sahib reminded his Sikhs that everything should be returne…

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Satguru Sri Guru Tegh Bahadhur Sahib Ji spent some time at Bakala communicating divine instructions to his beloved Sikhs. In the month of Magh, Sambat 1722, Satguru Ji went to Amritsar to bathe in the sacred tank, and behold the paradisal temple of Satguru Sri Guru Ram Das Ji Maharaj, the king of kings and the saint of saints. Maharaj bathed, but the ministrants of the sacred edifice closed the doors of Sri Darbar Sahib against him. The miistrants turned away the ninth Nanak from his own House. Satguru saluted it however from without, then went beyond the precincts, and rested on a spot where now a stone platform dedicated t…

Vjkk vjkf, Once at the gurdwara, a gianijee was talking about ninidia and our lives, Gianijee stressed so much that how awful nindya is! He said, the amount of paap we all do is really scary, our faces become scary and our habits become scary. We become such a weight onto earth, all this due to our actions, we slander, and slander; we don't listen to our guru and follow our own mat. He gave an example: that imagine vaheguru sent us with 2 boxes, one of ours, and one for other ppl's aogun…. Put them around ur neck, and everyday notice how much you will fill the 'other person's box' compared to urs. your box will be empty and the other will be overfowing... We go arou…

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh ਕਬੀਰ ਸਾਤ ਸਮੁੰਦਹਿ ਮਸੁ ਕਰਉ ਕਲਮ ਕਰਉ ਬਨਰਾਇ ॥ Kabīr sāṯ samunḏeh mas karao kalam karao banrāė. Kabeer, if I could change the seven seas into ink and make all the vegetation my pen, ਬਸੁਧਾ ਕਾਗਦੁ ਜਉ ਕਰਉ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਲਿਖਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੮੧॥ Basuḏẖā kāgaḏ jao karao har jas likẖan na jāė. and the earth my paper, even then, I could not write the Praises of the Lord. ਸਾਤ ਸਮੁੰਦਹਿ = seven seas; ਮਸ = ink; ਕਲਮ = pen; ਬਨਰਾਇ = forest growth; ਬਸੁਧਾ = earth; ਕਾਗਦੁ = paper. In this Salok Bhagat Kabeer Ji tells us that trying to describe or write down all the qualities of Guru Saheb is too huge a task to ever be done. He says that even if h…

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh For the past few weeks a thought has been festering in my head, and I think it's time to let it out. I would say to forgive me if I offend you, but frankly, it's better that I say this now and you at least think about it, before some random Muslim asks you to name all the Gurus in order and you stand there looking like a fool. These days the youth are hardcore chardi kala; I'm never more happy than when I see a group of kids walk into Maharaj's darbar in full sarup, their faces glowing with pride for the Guru. But these days the youth are also something else...hardcore militant. They call themselves the Army of the Panth, th…

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.
