So this is the reason that AKJ is different? 1 2

I used to think that AKJ is supporting Akal Thakat but when I saw that they support jathedar who is from their group ( e.g Akahand Kirtani Jatha) it was kind of confusing for me. So, Akj supports Jatehdar who is appointed by their group at Akal Thakat and others are under "no support" cateogary? Please clarify for me as it shows cultish stance because most of the Panth goes by Akal Thakat without particular preference of their jathas. AKJ points show that they are biased towards Jatehdar as he belongs to their jatha and seems like AKJ want to be authority of selecting Jathedar for Akal Takaht and want to run Panth as per their vote of choice? What's your feedback? so…

R U NORMAL? ... who wants to be normal? Was Guru Nanak Dev Ji normal when he walked 82,000 miles? Was guru Gobind Singh ji normal when he asked for a head! Were any of the martyrs normal, choosing death than living like slaves? No, the devotees of God are not normal they are madly and deeply in love with God while the whole world thinks they are insane ... When Guru Nanak Maharaj appeared from the river after three days, all soaked and with messy hair, people called him many things as guru nanak dev ji himself writes: "Some call him a ghost; some say that he is a demon. Some call him a mere mortal; O, poor Nanak! ||1|| Crazy Nanak has gone insane, after his Lord, th…

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh pyareooo, this arrived at my desk this morning i thought you would enjoy sharing... waheguru ji One of bhai veer singh ji's english translations ------------------ Silently, I sat so long cupped in the palm of a stem. Cool winds blew to soothe my condition, But still, I longed for Him. No other hand so gentle could be, No other heart could my state see, Not the rain, the breeze, nor the soil beneath, Oh *how* I longed Unbearably! And then He extended His merciful hand, And thus, He blossomed me. Now my fragrance flows everywhere, I'm gently cupped in hands that care, With loving eyes I'm looked…

Sat Sri Akal: Got this in e-mail. Very inspirational. __________________________________________________________ GURNAM SINGH - ADDICTED By Harjit Singh Lakhan (harjit@sikh-heroes.com) 5 Aug 2003 My friend Gurnam Singh in Birmingham told me his story at a kids camp July 2002. He used to be a drug pusher and addict on the streets of manchester. He ran away from home aged 13 and lived with thieves and druggies. He kidnapped, raped and other unspeakable things in order to get money for drugs. Only his mother believed in him, that he was better than that. She used to see him once a month and go to gurdwara do shoe seva with a handkerchief and wipe that on his forehea…
