ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ। ਸਿੱਖ ਕੌਣ ਹੈ ? ਕਿਹੜੇ ਸ਼ਰਧਾਲੂਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲਾ ਕੇ; "ਸਿੱਖ ਪੰਥ" ਬਣਦਾ ਹੈ ? ਠਾਕੁਰ ਦਲੀਪ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਸ਼ਰਧਾ ਰੱਖਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹਰ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ "ਸਿੱਖ" ਹੈ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ "ਸਿੱਖੀ" ਸ਼ਰਧਾ ਨਾਲ ਹੈ ; ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਸਰਧਾ ਭਗਤਿ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵੈ (ਮ:1) । ਸਿਰਫ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਹਰ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ "ਸਿੱਖ"(ਸ਼ਿਸ਼ /ਮੁਰੀਦ) ਹੈ। ਜਿਸ ਸੱਪ ਨੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਛਾਂ ਕੀਤੀ ਸੀ, ਉਹ ਵੀ "ਸਿੱਖ" ਸੀ। ਸਾਰੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮ ਲੇਵਾ (ਨਾਨਕ ਪੰਥੀਆਂ) ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲਾ ਕੇ ਹੀ ਸਮੁੱਚਾ ਸਿੱਖ ਪੰਥ ਬਣਦਾ ਹੈ। ਸਿੱਖ ਪੰਥ: ਸਿਰਫ "ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਧਾਰੀ ਖਾਲਸੇ" ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ; ਜਦ ਕਿ "ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਧਾਰੀ ਖਾਲਸੇ" (ਖਾਲਸਾ ਪੰਥ) ਤਾਂ ਸਮੁੱਚੇ ਸਿੱਖ ਪੰਥ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਸ੍ਰੇਸ਼ਟ ਅੰਗ ਹਨ। ਭਾਈ ਘਨਈਆ, ਭਾਈ ਨੰਦਲਾਲ, ਦੀਵਾਨ ਟੋਡਰਮੱਲ ਆਦਿ ਸਿੱਖ; ਦਸਵੇਂ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਵੀ "ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਧਾਰੀ"ਨਹੀਂ ਸਨ: ਪਰ ਉਹ ਵੀ ਮਹਾਨ ਸਿੱਖ ਸਨ। ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਜੋ ਹਿੰਦੂ, …

While doing simran in the morning, my mind always goes elsewhere (or I'm half asleep) so I'm looking for tuks in gurbani to keep in mind. Also, while doing simran on the harmonium in the afternoon, I would also like more tuks to sing. Any help?

Arjan Singh - came from Argentina to England to join the army and fight in WW1. Apparently he knew Spanish and had worked on the railways. Sadly he didn't survive the war as there is a memorial in San Pedro Argentina which lists his name as those who went from Argentina to fight in the war and did not survive.

30-35 years back technology was very less advanced. But still Indian agencies and police knew every detail of our kharrkus, where they are, in whose house they eat food etc. These days technology is so advanced. Hundreds and hundreds of beadbi incidents hv happened in punjab. How come culprits hv not been found ? @GurjantGnostic @dallysingh101 @proactive @premi @proudkaur21

We make too many big marble gurdwaras with lots of air conditioners. It's waste of money and bad for environment. Nihang gurdwaras are so good for environment. Our punjab will be full of thousands of horses. Horse liddd (dung) is great for soil and farming. It can also be used as a fuel just as cow dung. Lpg cylinders r BAD and expensive. Wood is good but we hv cut so much wood that we don't even hv wood for burning dead people in India. @GurjantGnosticCan horse dung be used for cooking?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Does anyone know where the following lines are from, and are they written in Gurmukhi on any website? "BINA SHASTR KAYSANG NARANG BHAYDD JAANO GAHAI KAAN THAA(N) KO KITHAI LAI SIDHAANO" Without shastar and kes, we are sheep who can be dragged anywhere from their ear "EHO MOR AAGYAA SUNO HAE PIAARAE BINA THAYG KAYSANG DEVO NA DEEDAARAE" Listen to this command of mine, without hair and weapons, I will not bestow my darshan upon you. Thanks!

ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਮੁਤਾਬਿਕ: ਸਿੱਖ ਪੰਥ ਦੀ ਵਿਆਖਿਆ | ਠਾਕੁਰ ਦਲੀਪ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ गुरबानी के अनुसार: सिख पंथ की व्याख्या | ठाकुर दलीप सिंघ जी ਇਸ ਵੀਡੀਓ ਵਿੱਚ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਦਲੀਪ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਦੱਸਿਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਮੁਤਾਬਿਕ ਸਿੱਖ ਪੰਥ ਇੱਕ ਭਗਤੀ ਮਾਰਗ ਅਤੇ ਸੰਤ ਮੱਤ ਹੈ। ਸਿੱਖ ਪੰਥ ਵਿੱਚ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਭਗਤੀ, ਨਾਮ ਜਪਣਾ ਅਤੇ ਕੀਰਤਨ ਕਰਨ ਨੂੰ ਸਰਵੋਤਮ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਅਸਾਡੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬਾਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਅਸਾਨੂੰ ਭਗਤ ਬਣਨ ਦਾ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਭਗਤ ਹੀ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਹੈ। ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਹੁਤ ਥਾਂਵਾ 'ਤੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਇਹ ਵੀ ਹੁਕਮ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਨਾਮ ਜਪਣ ਅਤੇ ਜਪਾਉਣ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਦੀ, ਕੀਰਤਨ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਦੀ, ਕਥਾਵਾਚਕਾਂ ਦੀ, ਚੰਗੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਰਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਰਵਾਉਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਸੰਤਾਂ ਸਾਧਾਂ ਦੀ ਪੂਜਾ ਕਰੋ। इस वीडियो में ठाकुर दलीप सिंघ जी ने बताया है कि गुरुवाणी अनुसार सिख पंथ एक भक्ति मार्ग और संत मत है। सिख पंथ में…

Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it. -
Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
