Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh! The cruel emperor Aurangzeb tried everything in his power to convert the Hindus into Muslims. The task was first tried with the Kashmiri Brahmins because it was thought that if they converted, the rest of the people would follow. There was talk that they might easily be persuaded by bribes. Also, several Muhammadan countries were nearby and if all else failed, they could be overcome by force. During this time, the Brahmins had a vision that in this last age of the Kali Yug, Guru Nanak was spiritual king and would protect the right of freedom of worship. Guru Teg Bahadur was ninth in the line of Guru Nanak and lived at Anandpur…

A little boy specially abled, inspired me to pen down this poem & see life from a new angle ~~ God has been kind to me… Is what my mother tells me every morning that I wake up… She looks at me lovingly, Her eyes filled with warmth and pride... I wonder sometimes At the abundance of this love… She helps me get ready for school… She moves me around in my wheelchair… And yet with much faith and hope… In those sparkling eyes… She tells me while combing my hair, “You will walk yourself one day, you will run without any fear…” She tells me this everyday… And deep down … She raises so many wishes, so many dreams… I dreamt so many dreams… But she wan…

Very nice excerpt from The Amazing Laws of Cosmic Mind Power by Joseph Murphy STEP THIS WAY FOR A HEALING 1. Man says it's impossible, but with God all things are possible. You can be healed by God, Who created you. 2. The healing principle flows through your mental patterns of thought and imagery, bringing all things you wish into manifestation. 3. If you believe something, it will be manifest -- whether or not you are consciously thinking of it. Believe only in that which heals, blesses, and inspires you. 4. Exalt the power of God in the midst of you, and you will stop the spread of any disease in your body. 5. The thankful heart is close to…

With vaisakhi around the corener…I thought we could share stories of our Amrit Sanchaars…you can be as vague or as detailed as you wish. Seeing as it was most likely the most important day in our lives, it would be good to share our experiences with each other… To get the ball rolling, I’ll start… I remember I came down into the kitchen where my dad was having breakfast, he could see I was nervous so he gave me sugary tea to drink, he told me what to expect when I got there (even though we had had this conversation a zillion times!) I cried all the way there (haha) well it was like a “good” crying I don’t even know how or why but the tears kept spilling, I had to dr…

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…

Do we believe in the four Yugas like Hindus? Satya Yuga was 1.7 million years. Avg human life expectancy was 100,000 years. Treta Yuga was 1.3 million years. Avg human life expectancy was 10,000 years. Dvapara Yuga was 864,000 years. Avg human life expectancy was 1000 years. Kali Yuga will be 432,000 years and the life expectancy will be 100 years, coming down to 20 years at the end of this yuga. Modern humans have only existed for approx 200,000 years and generally lifespans are always increasing. So this information on Yugas is wrong.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! The Memorandum to Aurangzeb I have no faith in thy oaths, Even if thou bringest in God as thy witness. (13) I haven't even an iota of trust in thee, For, all thy ministers and thy courtiers are liars. (14) He who puts faith in thy oath on the Koran, He in the end, comes to ruin. (15) But, beware that the insolent crow Can lay not its hands upon one whose protection is Huma, the Bird of Heaven. (16) He who seeks the refuge of the tiger Can he be harmed by a goat, a deer or a buffalo? (17) Had I vowed even secretly on the book of my faith, I would have withdrawn infantry and c…

A wonderful new translation by Navtej Sarna of ZAFARNAMA, Guru Gobind Singh’s ‘Epistle of Victory’. In this new translation of these exquisite Persian verses composed by the tenth Sikh guru, Navtej Sarna (India’s Ambassador to Israel) demonstrates the guru’s fearless political philosophy as well as his poetic genius.

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.
