WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH i just happened to stumble upon this page on Sikh prophecies on a nihang website...i m posting it here for everyone to read and express their views on it. http://www.nihang.net/pgsikh_prophecy.htm The Karni Namah and the Raj Namah are two significant chapters of the Sau Sakhi, the Sikh book of prophecy. The Raj Namah appears in, The History Of The Sikhs, by J D Cunningham on p. 340. Cunningham came across this document during the mid 19th century. He states that these ?compositions are of course fabulous as regards Nanak, and appear to be the compositions of the commencement or middle of the last century?. The Karni Namah …

Has anyone watched this Singh on Aastha Channel 828 on Sky at bout 8:20pm? His name is summit like Tarlochan Das Ji. He wears all white and a tilak on his forehead. I asked my marsi n she sed he's probably a Nirankari. I don't fink he is cuz he refers to Guru Granth Sahib Ji as Guru. Maybe he's a radhaswami or namdhari...i dunno u guys watch it and see wot u fink. The things i've noticed is that he makes reference to Gurbaani and his vichaar s are really interesting and very Gurmat orientated. He doesn't say fateh 2 d sangat, instead says 'Nanak Naam Chardi Kalla...' has ne1 watched it yet? O yeh the place where it comes from is called summit like Sachkhand Na…

Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji: ਰੋਗਨ ਤੇ ਅਰ ਸੋਗਨ ਤੇ ਜਲ ਜੋਗਨ ਤੇ ਬਹੁ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਬਚਾਵੈ ॥ रोगन ते अर सोगन ते जल जोगन ते बहु भांति बचावै ॥ He protects in many blows, but none doth inflict thy body. ਸੱਤ੍ਰੁ ਅਨੇਕ ਚਲਾਵਤ ਘਾਵ ਤਊ ਤਨ ਏਕ ਨ ਲਾਗਨ ਪਾਵੈ ॥ स्त्रु अनेक चलावत घाव तऊ तन एक न लागन पावै ॥ The enemy strikes many blows, but none doth inflict thy body. ਰਾਖਤ ਹੈ ਅਪਨੋ ਕਰ ਦੈ ਕਰ ਪਾਪ ਸੰਬੂਹ ਨ ਭੇਟਨ ਪਾਵੈ ॥ राखत है अपनो कर दै कर पाप स्मबूह न भेटन पावै ॥ When the Lord protects with his own hands, but none of the sins even comes near thee. ਔਰ ਕੀ ਬਾਤ ਕਹਾ ਕਹ ਤੋ ਸੌਂ ਸੁ ਪੇਟ ਹੀ ਕੇ ਪਟ ਬੀਚ ਬਚਾਵੈ ॥੬॥੨੪੮॥ और की बात कहा कह तो सौं सु पेट ही के पट बीच बचावै ॥६॥२४८॥ What else should I say unto you, He pr…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh !! I have received a lot of feedback from the pictures I posted of the Battle Standards at Lichfield Cathedral - some negative but mostly positive. Many asked for more pictures especially pictures of old Nishan Sahibs and pictures of the "Symbols" used before the introduction of the modern Khanda symbol. It is not my intention to offend anyone, that is why I carefully avoided the use of 'Nishan Sahib' in the first post and this one and used the more neutral term 'Battle Standard'. Hope you enjoy the pictures ! Bhul Chuk Maaf Ranjit Singh 'Freed' These are guilded panels from Gurdwara Baba Atal Rai Sahib - they date from t…
