Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh Prabhaatee: Do not say that the Vedas, the Bible and the Koran are false. Those who do not contemplate them are false. You say that the One Lord is in all, so why do you kill chickens? ||1|| O Mullah, tell me: is this God's Justice? The doubts of your mind have not been dispelled. ||1||Pause|| You seize a living creature, and then bring it home and kill its body; you have killed only the clay. The light of the soul passes into another form. So tell me, what have you killed? ||2|| And what good are your purifications? Why do you bother to wash your face? And why do you bother to bow your head in the mosque? Your …

The top ten reasons for waking up at amrit vela: 10. You can use up all the hot water you want. 9. You have more time to do other things during the day. 8. You get the best feeling right after you finish. 7. One day of nitnem at amritvela will keep you in chardi kala for the rest of the week. 6. Others in your household will be inspired to do the same 5. You will have more time to do nitnem instead of rushing it to get to work/school in time. 4. Naam is to a Sikh as fuel is to a car. Naam at amritvela is like premium 3. You will not be wasting the night (and your life) away by sleeping for too long (literally and figuratively speaking) 2. Your concentration is…

The mind is perhaps the most powerful tool we have in this world, and more often than not can be the sole thing to prevent us from walking on the path of Sikhi. It’s a tough game to play with the mind, but we just need to have faith, and push… Thought I would share this with you. At times during our bhagti, we find our mind wondering, thinking things that we never imagined we’d think – things that we don’t even realise enter our consciousness. – We suddenly remember that we have a million and one other things to be getting on with instead of our paath. We start to plan what we’re going to do once we’ve finished our paath – heck, sometimes we start thinking about what w…

In 1986, I visited Vancouver on the invitation of the Khalsa Diwan Society, and addressed the Sangat in the Ross street Gurdwara there. The success of the discussion motivated the Gurdwara management to start a regular Sikh heritage class every Saturday for the Canada-born youth. The class became very popular because the presentations were made in English. The word spread to Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia. A father with his two children came from there to attend the class. After the lecture, he wanted me to visit Victoria and address the students of the school where his son was studying. He briefed me that the staff and students were curious to kno…

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.
