vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! 1/ In Ardaas we say: "May Karaah Parshaad Di Degh be accepted (Parvaan Hove)" What do we do? Slap bam, a Singh get outs his Kirpaan, and starts making a noise while doing Kirpaan Bhet (blessing the Parshaad by touching it with the Kirpaan). This means: 1/ The Singhs mind is NOt in the Ardaas but rather he is waiting for the Giani to say "DEGH PARVAAN HOVE" 2/ He disturbs others when doing the Kirpan Bhet 3/ So is Guru Jee accepting the Parshaad or is the Singh with Kirpaan accepting and blessing it???? 4/ How do we know Guru Jee has accepted the Parshaad?? How do we know it is ParvaaN? We know the Degh is Parvaa…

‘SABH SIKHAN KO HUKHAM HAI, GURU MAANIYO GRANTH’ … by Manvir Singh Khalsa The Guru Granth Sahib Jee is the living light of the Ten Gurus. The Guru Granth Sahib Jee is the living spirit of the Ten Gurus. The Guru Granth Sahib Jee is the living voice of the Ten Gurus. Some people say the Guru Granth Sahib Jee is a mere ‘Holy Book’. Some people say the Guru Granth Sahib Jee is mere ink and paper. Some people say that you can’t get enlightened through the words of Guru Granth Sahib Jee. [Ang 67]Many fake God men use the verses of Gurbâni to enlighten people, and yet call themselves the ‘Guru’. Many fake God men use the verse of Gurbâni to explain the truth to peo…

I am forty~four. Over the past thirty years (living in New Delhi and New York) I've tried to analyze human behavioral patterns, by observing several people (including many whom I come across (at various meetings / during the Guru's Congregation / in society generally / families of my relatives, friends, neighbours, colleagues and acquaintances). *** I've seen that advancing age often results in increased vices. Jealousy, Ego, Domination, Greed, Lust, Hatred, Anger, Attachment, Addiction : all of these are on the ascendant, as one grows older. I am talking of some people whom I have known since my childhood, and I've seen many of them advance from their fifties to late eig…

A "sin" is something which believers are afraid of (in the Court of God). A "crime" is such an act which humans are afraid to commit (for fear of law). *** In "The Divine Court" the punishment for all sins is horrendous/terrible. For a crime, a court of law may order a guilty person to be sentenced to a term of imprisonment or may impose a monetary~fine, or both. Or may award the ultimate death~penalty. *** Sin, often, goes hand~in~hand with crime (in other words a sin may also be termed a crime). *** Sin and sorrow may be of various categories : sin & sorrow maybe financial / emotional / psychological / mental / physical / spiritual or all simultaneously…

THE GURDWARA – A YOUTH PERSPECTIVE by Manvir Singh Khalsa The Gurdwara is a place of worship. The Gurdwara is a place for the community to socialise and meet up. The Gurdwara is a place for us to educate, learn and to inspire fellow Sikhs about the path of Sikhi and Gurbaani. You hear youngsters saying: “I don’t like going to the Gurdwara”, “The Gurdwara is boring”, “I can never understand a thing said at the Gurdwara”. When somebody goes on the stage in the Main Hall at the Gurdwara and gives a talk, lecture or explains something in English, then you hear the old men say, “why are you speaking in English?” “Speak Panjabi, the language of our Gurus”, “We should e…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! I am sure many people have thought about this question. Sikhs wear an external uniform to unify and bind them to the beliefs of the religion and to remind them of their commitment to the Sikh Gurus at all times. Unlike some other faiths where only the clergy are in uniform, all Sikhs are enjoined to wear the uniform of their beliefs. These five articles of faith, along with a turban, distinguish a Sikh and are essential for preserving the life of the community. Naturally, for Sikhs these religious articles have deep spiritual significance; and some practical as well. The five articles of faith start with the "k" alphabet in…

Dear All - Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Simple question (!!). Does anyone know of a definition in Gurbani, of the word Sehej. Some translations say that it means 'Peace of Mind', but I know that it means much more than that. Does anyone know where it's defined in Gurbani ?? Thanks for your help. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

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.
