   WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH For all of us whole always complain about life.....Print this off now...and stick it on ur wall so u can read it every day. And if your thinking...hmm ill do it later... DO IT NOW :T: For those of you know dont need this...massive respect to you :doh: You shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities. You shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass. You shall not carry grudges, for they are the heaviest of all life's burdens. You shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time anyway. You shall not take problems to bed with you, for the…

   WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle's nest rested. The eagle's nest contained four large eagle eggs. One day an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain, to a chicken farm, located in the valley below. The chickens knew that they must protect and care for the eagle's egg, so an old hen volunteered to nurture and raise the large egg. One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, however, the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family, but his spirit cried…

   Black and Gold Boxes

   WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH I have in my hands two boxes Which God gave me to hold He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black, And all your joys in the gold." I heeded his words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and sorrows I store But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black I wanted to find out why And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be." He smiled a gentle smile at me. "My child, they're all here with me." I asked, "God, why give me the boxes, "Why…

   WJKK WJKF

   WJKK WJKF, Guru Gobind Singh Ji started the tradition that whenever one 'Singh' meets another 'Singh', he/she should say Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahguru Ji Ki Fateh. Sat Sri Akal instead of Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahguru Ji Ki Fateh is inappropriate and against tradition. When 2 Sikhs meet and utter Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahguru Ji Ki Fateh, they say the word 'Waheguru' 4 times. The proclamation of Guru Gobind Singh Ji regarding this way of greeting another, has been described by Bhai Mani Singh in Bhagat Ratanaawali as follows; "My face is towards those who pronounce "Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh" to the Sikhs; my right shoulder is towards those who respond in like manner …

   Sikh

   From Sau Suwal by Satbir Singh: What is the Definition of a Sikh?: One who is embarked upon the search for truth, is a sikh Guru Arjan Dev Ji says: "I have established the temple of truth. I search and assemble therein God's devotees" In this hymn (shabad) Guru Arjand Dev Ji has defined the term 'Sikh' as the seeker of truth. Those who consider the term 'Sikh' to be based on the Sanskrit term 'Shishya', meaning student or disciple, seem to have altogether missed the real point. To be a disciple one needs a teacher. Thus begins the race of every disciple to adopt a teacher or guru. Only he/she is a Sikh who believes in and is committed to one Supreme Being (Akaal…

   WJKK WJKF, Guru Nanak Devi Ji wrote "Those who share their honest earnings with needy, truly recognize the way (to god)" ang1245 When Guru Nanak Dev Ji started farming at Kartar Pur, near the end of their physical life, they use to divide the farm into 3 portions. 1 would go to 'Dharamsaal' (religious institutions), 1 for use by their family, and 3rd for the needy, hungry, and holy people. Guru Ram Das Ji had appointed Masands (who later where excommunicated by Guru Gobind Singh Ji for misusing the panths money-similar to what lots of gurdwara commitees are doing today), they would collect offerings from devotees and bring it to Guru Ji who would spend the money for…

    Peggy's Paper Dolls

    Brian scanned the walls of the same corridor that had become so familiar to him over the past few years. As he entered through door number thirty-two, a tremendous wave of emotion swept over him, and he had to fight not to drown in it. His sister's face lit up with a vibrant smile and that special twinkle in her eyes, as it always did whenever she saw him. Peggy was seven years old. She charmed everyone that knew her with her undying enthusiasm. She would talk non-stop to a listening ear, and she seldom cried. Peggy was dying of cancer. Brian was at the hospital constantly, knowing that his little sister had only a short time to live. His average life as a sixteen-yea…

    WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope. If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower, then you still have hope. If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly, then you still have hope. If the smile of a child can still warm your heart, then you still have hope. If you can see the good in other people, then you still have hope. If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to sleep, then you still have hope. If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder, then you still have hope. If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasan…

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! I'm quite confused at the moment, I know that we are not Hindu's in any shape or form, I understand the differences. . . I was wondering could someone (or many of you) please help me understand the references to the Vedas, Puranas, Devs, Devtia's etc in Gurbani??? Are we supposed to know what they say? Are we supposed to believe in any part of them? I don't understand all the Bani I read that's why I'm asking. . . I hope this is not a silly question I just don't like feeling ignorant and I want to be able to understand things better for my own knowledge and to be able to answer other peoples questions. . . Thank you Bhul Ch…
