vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! I was listening to Keertan from Sri Darbar Sahib today on Alpha ETC Punjabi and Bhai Kamaljit Singh was doing this shabad to a wicked tune. I checked it out on SikhiToTheMax, and it got me thinking. The Rehaao pangtee was: It used to bug me when people said "God doesn't exist" because you cannot prove it...blahblahblah... and I couldn't really respond because its an issue of faith. I always thought that if you search for Waheguru, rather than dismissing Him straight away, then you might stand a chance of finding Him and feeling His love. But I never found any Tukh to back this up. However, as Guru Jee says in the above …

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! This story was told to me by my grand mother when I was a very young kid. A child developed a very nasty tumor on his body. His mother took him to the doctor and wanted the tumor removed. The doctor began cutting the tumor in front of the mom. The child cried and screamed in pain. The mother watched, and was in tears, but didn’t stop the doctor because she knew it was for her child’s own good. The child probably hated his mother for not doing anything, but little did he know as to what the truth was. We mortals are like the kid. Whenever we are in pain, we blame God for all our misfortunes. The Lord doesn’t derive any…

Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh I work in a profession whereby I am required to record my time accurately so that the client gets charged for the work that I do. As a result, we have targets to achieve a certain number of hours per day. Consequently, when it came to my appraisal, my supervisor said something like "You are in the office for X number of hours a day, why don't you try finding an extra half hour to record more time" I imagined Waheguru saying something similar - you have been granted this human life and there are 24 hours a day, try and find an extra half an hour to do Naam Simran. This helped me realise that the purpose of this life is to…

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Have you ever thought about how many sacrifices Guru Gobind Singh jee has done for sikhism and sikhs? Well you can never do that because you can't count them, there a lots of them!! He has sacrificed his four young and gorgeous Sahebzades, His father, His mother and left Anandpur Sahib!! Nobody can do that. Nobody can see there sons being buried in a wall!!! Nobody can see there fathers head being separeted from the rest of the body. But Guru gobind Singh jee did!!!!! He scrificed his whole family!! And still he said" MERA KHALSA SUKHA DI NEEND SOVAY, MERA CHAHEY KUJ NA RAHE"

First of all before I start telling you what happened with me, I would like to thank my paa ji who showed me how my sorrow could be someone else.s relief. Thank you paa ji. My story started when I was 16 years old living in Handsworth, we had just finished our last GCSE exams. To celebrate, we all decided to go to a "bhangra gig" during the day, as we knew we would not have been allowed to go in the night. There were 4 of us, best of friends, we decided to go, although we knew…

In uk we have punjab radio and other Digital Radio Stations. They have various Sikhi Related programs that they broadcast. They also broadcast Bhangra, chat with ppl, other entertainment shows. But one thing i noticed is that when ever there is a Sikhi Related program that they want to air, i.e Sukhmani sahib jee da path they start saying that ppl can / should sponser the programs. I mean, is Gurbani Expensive, that you have to have it sponsered? Gurbani is priceless and they probably dont keep the money that they get from the sponsership but is it Right to ask for sponsership when Gurbani programs are being aired? Please Discuss, and also if someone can help me under…
