I was reading this article on the Sikh Research and Eduction Center website, it states that Hemkunt is a description of life in the womb. Similar passages can also be found in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee - ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ਪਹਰੇ ਘਰੁ ੧ ॥ Siree Raag, First Mehl, Pehray, First House: ਪਹਿਲੈ ਪਹਰੈ ਰੈਣਿ ਕੈ ਵਣਜਾਰਿਆ ਮਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਪਇਆ ਗਰਭਾਸਿ ॥ In the first watch of the night, O my merchant friend, you were cast into the womb, by the Lord's Command. ਉਰਧ ਤਪੁ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਵਣਜਾਰਿਆ ਮਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਖਸਮ ਸੇਤੀ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥ Upside-down, within the womb, you performed penance, O my merchant friend, and you prayed to your Lord and Master. ਖਸਮ ਸੇਤੀ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ਵਖਾਣੈ ਉਰਧ ਧਿਆਨਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗਾ ॥ You uttered pray…

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH During one of Satguru Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji Maharaj's visit to rural areas, his beloved family accompanied him. As Maharaj rode his horse, he moved alot faster than his family. To keep up with Guru Ji, the sangat also started moving faster, running after their beloved Father.

'Baba Jujhar Singh Ji, Sri Guru Gobind singh jis second son, on seeing his brother's fate could not restrain himself, and asked his guru's permission to go forth and fight as Ajit Singh Ji had done.

A racoon is a very greedy but clever animal he is an opportunist. whenever he sees a chance to eat be it garbage or a fish, frog, dead animal he will eat it. he works only at night and hunts a scavenges food. he is attracted to shiny objects like coins and such. so this is the how he is killed by hunters in olden times (in america). the hunter knows of the racoons attraction to shiny objects and so he takes such a thing and places it in a hole that he sizes himself in a tree stump along a river bank where the racoons are most likely to come at night. he secures the shiny thing by putting a nail through it and the wood. the hole in the tree is made such that when the ra…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh From: tapoban.org - by Bhai Kulbir Singh Ji The Amar Katha of Bhagat Dhru jee Dhru was born to the first wife of Raja Uttanpad. The king had two wives but he was most fond of the second one. Dhru had a step-brother from his step mother the second wife of the king. Since the king was more fond of Suruchi the second wife, Dhru and his mother Suniti stayed in one corner of the palace, seldom going to the main chambers of the palace.

Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh! Below is something i was emailed....thought it would be good to share! In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone. The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two. Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared. Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries. Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beatings, but no food either. If there was a welfare system in effect in southern I…

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.
