How do we bust apart the myth that Indra set up Sant Ji? This Indian Vikram Chopra is spreading the crap on facebook that there is even newspaper proof of this from the time.

http://zenhabits.net/2007/05/handbook-for-life-52-tips-for-happiness-and-productivity/ Handbook for Life: 52 Tips for Happiness and Productivity This is something I've been wanting to write for some time — a Handbook for Life. Now, is there any handbook that can be a guide to every single person? Of course not. This is just a list of tips that I think will help many people in life — some of them common-sense tips that we often forget about. Consider this guide a reminder. It'll also become apparent from the links in this handbook that I've written about this stuff before. In essence, this site is a bigger version of this handbook. But I wanted to put them all in one pl…

The Trap of Maya Money is not everything WaheguruJi works in mysterious ways, one just needs to keep open mind and open eyes tosee it. These past few weeks I have been having issues when it came to dealingwith money. As an immature young adult, I had been irresponsible using mycredit cards and had them taken away by my parents and warned just to use cash.Cash has always been my weak point and I had known that even before I had thecards taken away. So I had asked Waheguru Ji to help me give up my attachmentto money. I think it was a three step program; admittance, denial andforgiveness. I have been trying to go to theGurudwara daily or as oft…

It has been suggested that Sikh women should not be allowed to participate in certain seva. Answers from Gurmat to excuses for disallowing seva are given below. During seva a Sikh woman would have to endure Eve-teasing, jostling, or she may indeed be involved in sexual misdemeanors. GURMAT: A Sikh woman is less likely to be a victim of eve teasing at a Gurdwara, let alone Darbar Sahib, Amritsar, than she is at any other public place. Jostling should be brought under control by the management by hiring properly trained and polite Sevadaars who can ensure orderly conduct at Gurdwaras. To suggest that Sikh women will indulge in sexual misconduct during seva is an insult t…

This article was posted on many Sikh forums and mailing lists a few years ago, and is making the rounds once again. Its worth a re-read. http://www.sikhnet.com/Sikhnet/news.nsf/Ne...33;OpenDocument http://www.realsikhism.com/testimonies/atheism.html http://www.sikhsangat.org/news/publish/ame...eists3452.shtml Dear Ali, please help us. We were very impressed with your website and agreed that religion in general is no longer needed, we can all be humanistic and live in peace and harmony. We are in the process of making a website which will hopefully help to destroy the religious doctrines which divide humanity. We were doing great with knocking out Christianity, Judaism…

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH 'When it is the Husband's pleasure He cuts down the crop. There is no rule as to whether it must be green or half ripe. What torture Satguru Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj suffered, and yet he uttered not a groan! Why should we mourn for the body when it is Waheguru's will that it should depart. What is today and what tomorrow ? Whatever our beloved Waheguru desires is best.' Satguru Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji Maharaj, however, thought it proper to go outside the city to the margin of the Jamna in order to breathe a purer atmosphere. Satguru Ji pitched his camp near Raja Jai Singh's army. Raja Jai Singh lived in the city, and…

Translated from “Ardas Shakti”, written by Sardar Raghbir Singh Bir. This story is pretty inspiring. ******BEGINNING OF TRANSLATION*********** AUKHI GHAREE NAA DEKHAN DAYEE, APNA BIRAD SAMAALE|| My daughter (S. Raghbir Singh jee's daughter) was expecting a baby. Since this was her first time, it was expected to be a painful delivery. Till nine months, my daughter’s health was normal but at end of the ninth months, her whole body swelled and became sore. Due to some other reasons too, the doctors did not think that this would be a normal delivery case. When I told the senior doctor that for while, everything in my home had been normal and that Vaheguru had never disap…
