Taken from a sakhi I heard in Nihang Sukha Singh Jee's katha on the occassion of Sahib Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Jee Maharaj Sachay Patshah's parkash utsav: http://www.sikhroots.net/video/Professiona...hka%20Singh.wmv This was during the times of our 7th Guru, Sahib Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Jee Maharaj Sachay Patshah. A Sikh in Kabul, Afghanistan woke up and started doing simran at 3 AM. He focussed his mind at the feet of Sahib Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Jee Maharaj Sachay Patshah, and recited "simro Sri Har Rai". Gurujee, who was in Punjab, so many miles away, sat down at 3 AM, and because the Sikh was doing simran with utmost love, it is said that Gurujee could not move His fe…

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.
