If we want to progress integrally, we must build within our conscious being a strong and pure mental synthesis which can serve us as a protection against temptations from outside, as a landmark to prevent us from going astray, as a beacon to light our way across the moving ocean of life. Each individual should build up this mental synthesis according to his own tendencies and affinities and aspirations. But if we want it to be truly living and luminous, it must be centred on the idea that is the intellectual representation symbolising That which is at the centre of our being, That which is our life and our light. This idea, expressed in sublime words, has been taught in…

Parmeshwar He who created the whole world and who looks after and cares for His creation is called Parmeshwar. Everything that is seen in the world today is the work of this Parmeshwar. If we look at worldly things, each have a creator. For example, the brains of engineers create aeroplanes, ships and canals; the handiwork of steel workers creates swords, shields, steel utensils, etc.; the toil of farmers in the field provides fruit and vegetables for us. Just as these worldly things have creators, Parmeshwar has created the whole universe. Guru Jee says: Japjee Sahib, 16th PaureeBecause Parmeshwar has the greatest power, He can create the entire universe with one com…

:T: WHO ARE SIKHS? :nihungsmile: By Manvir Singh Khalsa I am a Sikh! I am born and brought up this county. The turban and unshorn hair is part of the Sikh uniform. No-one believes me.

Sikhs are not Muslims. Sikhs are not Arabs.” “Are you part of Islam” people ask? “Are you an offshoot of Hinduism” others say. “I have never heard of Sikhs” says another. Sikhs are a distinct people.Sikhs are a distinct nation. Sikhi is a distinct religion of peace, love and equality for whol…

Vasu Bhardwaj When recitation of Gurbani cured me of deadly cancer, I experienced God. If God is with me, who can be against me? Not even the deadliest disease of cancer can take my life away and that is exactly the divinely inspiring message of the truly miraculous story of my victorious battle against bone cancer which was medically diagnosed to be multiple myloma. It was the continuous recitation of Gurbani that not only cured me of bone cancer that had already destroyed most of my bones in my skeleton, but also shattered my will to live. The blessings of Guru Granth Sahib not only triggered and accelerated the processes of complete and total cure in my body, but …

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.
