Fatehi Jio Im Not Trying To Offend Anyone But This Needs To Be Raised Up! On Facebook I Have Found A Group Called ''AKJ have taken the nihang bana''. Its NOT Nihang Bana Its Guru Ji's Bana Just To Clarify To Everyone. This Group Is Saying AKJ Have Taken Nihang Bana And This Is Not True! The Group Also Says About AKJ's Dastar! It Is Posted On This Group: The Bana was given to us by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. During Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Guruship, the Moghals were persecuting all those who didn't follow their religion. Some Sikhs were hiding their identity and denying their relationship with the Guru. When a Sikh wears a Bana, they are representing the Guru and they can…

WHY SIKHS SHOULDN’T CELEBRATE INDIAN INDEPENDENCE 15 August marks India’s Independence Day and prolongs the suffering of the Sikhs. We are clear about our nationhood, but it is denied by the Indian State and the Indian political class which are not prepared to allow us basic rights. Sikh sacrifices for freedom Prior to independence Sikhs were less than 1.5% of the population, but their contribution to the freedom struggle was immense. 77% of those sent to the gallows were Sikh as were 81% of those sentenced to life imprisonment. During the Quit India Movement many indiscriminate arrests were made and Sikhs contributed 70% of the total Punj…

I have a question. Many Gursikhs say Amritdhari should eat from another amritdhari. I don't mean to be rude or arrogant but then how come sahibzades took milk from Baba Moti Mehra Ji?

What your about to read is 100% true. I have proof to support my claim. Bascically, many gurdwaras nowadays have a matrimonial service which is supposed to help Sikhs find a partner for marraige. The Gurdwara recently held a "Mix N Mingle" event which was held at Days hotel in Ruislip. Ok here's the thing, there were Hindu guys and girls there. Have Sikhs in general lost the plot? Im my opinion the answer would be a resounding Yes. You may argue that there are plenty of Sikh/Hindu dating events organised where any1 can attend if they purchase a ticket. However, these events are organised by people who are making money from a business. The Sikhs who attend these events a…

Im confused about how i should feel with the current events surroinding the LGBT community as a sikh. I accept that you cant be gay and be sikh or you can but you have to remain celbate for life, there is no mention of beging gay in gurbani and it is deemed un natural and lustful and part of kaljug and kaam, but does this mean we should be against it? surely sikhi would be against discrimination and inequality, and me being someone who has experienced discrimination bc of being sikh and a minority like many of us probably have its hard to be against it as we feel emepthetic, but, does this mean therefore that we should support it ? im really confused on the opinion i sho…

As a Sikh starting University… By Manvir Singh Khalsa I have written an article about my experiences starting university. Some people may find it useful because sometimes if you are starting university you have a lot concerns and worry about what it will be like and how you will cope. During the summer holidays before I started university, I was looking forward to starting university. I had been brought up and lived in an English area and not been exposed to a large Sikh community or presence, therefore I was excited to go to King’s College London because it was known for having a large number of Sikh students and had the largest Sikh Society in England. I heard peopl…

Most Sau Sakhis are tampered with. Versions were circulated (with appropriate changes) during the mutiny of 1857, prophesising a joint Anglo-Sikh victory over the Mughals. The Namdharias circulated versions in the 1860s supporting the claim of Ram Singh to be a reincarnation of Guru Gobind Singh and the future ruler of Hindustan. The supporters of Maharaja Duleep Singh impressed upon him a version in the 1880s prophesying his return to the Punjab as Maharaja with the help of the Russians. New editions of the Sau Sakhi continue to appear to boost the claims of impostors. Now, in 1984, a Sant in Phagwara from Dukhniwaran Sahib Gurdwara, gave a part [1 sakhi of the 100] …

I have started listening to japji sahib vichar sagar deep divine meanings of gurbani by gyani thakur singh ji which required gyani ji close to 80 hours to do the full japji sahib katha which is exteremly deep.

Thank you in advance. you can listen to vast deptness of japji sahib - http://www.gurmatveechar.com/katha.php?k=gts So I have managed with my limited buddi to translate just 1 file out of 81 audio files by gyani discourse in punjabi into my broken english..translations are not fully carbonn copy.

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.
