In the USA, it is Muslims and Christians; in the UK again it is Muslims and Christians; In Canada it is Christians; and In Punjab it is free for …

What have you experiences been in respect to doing simran (naam japping) before or after paat? I know we aim to do it rom rom 24 hours, but until some of us amateurs get there (if we are graced to that is), what have the regularly practicing simran sangat's experiences been? Does order matter? Do we have a choice? How does it make a difference? etc. etc. Please share your thoughts and experiences.

The making of Sikh history – literally. I’d like to humbly submit the text below for my brothers and sisters consideration. I hope you enjoy reading it, and receive as much food for thought from it as I did during the translation.

I'm pretty sure I've posted these letters previously (a long time ago). But I'm linking this site here because the edition of the works therein also contains a transliteration of the original Panjabi used by M. Jind Kaur in her letters, which wasn't in the later edition I previously encountered. It'd be a project to rescribe them into Gurmukhi. https://issuu.com/sikhdigitallibrary/docs/three_letters_of_maharani_jind_kaur
