WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH || Bhai Leela-Raam Singh jee Sikhs from Sindh province of Pakistan are known for their love and devotion for Guru Sahib. Because of lack of parchaar, many of them have not been able to adopt the Khalsa way of Sikhi but the ones who have become the Khalsa of Guru Gobind Singh jee, lead an amazing life of a Sikh. One such gursikh, tyaar-bar-tyaar amritdhari singh was Bhai Leela-Raam Singh jee. His name prior to amrit chakk was Leela Raam and after amrit-chhak, with the hukam of Punj Pyaare, he became Bhai Leela-Raam Singh. Bhai Leela-Raam Singh took amrit when he hit the teenage years.

The Experience beyond Science or rationality As I read Guru Nanak, I do not believe that what he has given to his Sikhs is about science and its discoveries in context of the Creator; finding science from religious scriptures is a common fallacy; the science is an open field of conquering possibilities, but it is not complete in its mission, and it never will be. What the Guru says while talking about infinite form of the Creator can possibly resemble with some facts we know today about the universe through science; however, the Guru hasn’t disclosed scientific facts intentionally. I have read some Muslims writers on the net who are bent upon proving that actually Holy Q…

Experimenting with covering my hair April 4, 2012 by Siri Nam Simran Kaur I have been doing Taoist Tai Chi for four years and it is helping me to let go of energy blocks and I am becoming more energy sensitive. When my hair is down my energy is down. When I twist and curl my hair into a bun and pin it with a bobby pin, my energy comes up. If I want to feel girlish and playful, I put my hair in a pony tail, although it is getting rather long to do so. Regarding covering my head/hair. To put a 'scarf' on, as I have seen east Indian women do, I have to shift the scarf 'just so.' Some days, it makes me feel grounded and humble. If I have it too close to my throat, I fe…

ਟੁੰਡੇ ਅਸਰਾਜ ਦੀ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਆਸਾ ਕੀ ਵਾਰ ਦੇ ਸਿਰਲੇਖ ਵਿਚ ਹੁਕਮ ਹੈ "ਟੁੰਡੇ ਅਸ ਰਾਜੈ ਕੀ ਧੁਨੀ ॥" ਕੌਣ ਸੀ ਟੁੰਡਾ ਅਸਰਾਜ? ਪੇਸ਼ ਹੈ ਇਸ ਦੀ ਕਹਾਣੀ, ਪ੍ਰੋਫੈਸਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਬਾਨੀ। ਸਾਖੀ: ਅਸਰਾਜ ਇਕ ਰਾਜੇ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਸੀ, ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਸਾਰੰਗ ਸੀ। ਆਪਣੀ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਮਰ ਜਾਣ ਕਰਕੇ ਰਾਜਾ ਸਾਰੰਗ ਨੇ ਪਿਛਲੀ ਉਮਰੇ ਇਕ ਹੋਰ ਵਿਆਹ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ। ਨਵੀਂ ਰਾਣੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਤ੍ਰੇਏ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਅਸਰਾਜ ਤੇ ਰੀਝ ਪਈ, ਪਰ ਅਸਰਾਜ ਆਪਣੇ ਧਰਮ ਤੇ ਕਾਇਮ ਰਿਹਾ। ਜਦੋਂ ਰਾਣੀ ਦੀ ਹੋਰ ਕੋਈ ਚਾਲ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਨੂੰ ਧਰਮ ਤੋਂ ਡੇਗਣ ਵਿਚ ਕਾਮਯਾਬ ਨਾਹ ਹੋਈ, ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਪਾਸ ਅਸਰਾਜ ਦੇ ਉਲਟ ਝੂਠੇ ਦੂਸ਼ਣ ਲਗਾ ਦਿੱਤੇ। ਰਾਜੇ ਨੇ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਵਿਚ ਆ ਕੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਫਾਂਸੀ ਦਾ ਹੁਕਮ ਦੇ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਰਾਜੇ ਦਾ ਵਜ਼ੀਰ ਸਿਆਣਾ ਸੀ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਅਸਰਾਜ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਨੋਂ ਤਾਂ ਨਾਹ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਪਰ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਇਕ ਹੱਥ ਕੱਟ ਕੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਹਿਰੋਂ …

Sodhi Harbhajan Singh wrote a book called “Bhajan Bandagi da Pratap”. In this book he has narrated a very interesting and funny story of an atheist who used to challenge the existence of God. Gurbani says that Vaheguru ensures that everyone gets food or Rozee but this person used to say that there is no God and if a person does not work for food, food won’t come to him. At one point this atheist person must have had a debate with a Gursikh who believed that Vaheguru provides food no matter where one is. Gurbani clearly says: ਸਲੋਕ ਮ: 2 ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਮਤਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਤਿਸ ਹੀ ਹੇਇ ॥ ਜਲ ਮਹਿ ਜੰਤ ਉਪਾਇਅਨੁ ਤਿਨਾ ਭਿ ਰੋਜੀ ਦੇਇ ॥ ਓਥੈ ਹਟੁ ਨ ਚਲਈ ਨਾ ਕੋ ਕਿਰਸ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ ਸਉਦਾ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਨਾ ਕੋ…

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh || Courtesy of Tapoban.org --------------- From March of 1975 to September of 1976, the Sikh Sangat of Amritsar did the seva of 1500 hand-written saroops of Sree Guru Granth Sahib that had been brought from Pakistan. The Sangat would change the rumaallay covering Guru Sahib and also wipe every ang of the saroop with a cloth. From one of these saroops, a mysterious letter was found, written by a Sikh bibi to My beloved Gurdev Mata jeeo. The letter was filled with extreme spiritual longing and love. Who knows what state this letter was written in? It writes about separation from Guru Sahib, but who knows how or why this separa…
