AM I NORMAL ? by Gurpreet Singh 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 …

""A lady I know, Namjot Kaur, just told me her story of Delhi 84. It's bloodier, nastier and more unbelievable than ours, and I'd like to share it with you, at least the strangest part. So I start in the middle. The mob forced the Sikhs in the house onto the street, including the women and children. They separated the males from the females and threw kerosene on the males. Inderjeet, her husband, knowing what was about to happen, drew his kirpan and cut their son's throat - he was just a little boy of 9. That angered the mob and they turned their total attention to him. As they set him alight, a man appeared beside him, with his hand on Inderjeet's shoulder. Inderjeet …

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh, Zakriya Khan was carrying on a cruel, all-out campaign against the Khalsa. Hence, all daring and desperate Sikhs had gone away to places where the Mughal armies dared not to trouble them. So they had become out of the reach of the government. However, in several small villages there yet lived some gentle, harmless Sikhs. They were peaceful and peace loving by nature. daring military adventures were against their natures. They were averse to active clashes with the government. They wanted to live and work in peace. They kept themselves engaged in peaceful pursuits. At the same time, they practiced the main principles of life tau…

Vaaheguroo jee kaa khalsaa, Vaaheguroo jee kee fateh! To start off this initiative we should begin with the bani that is the mool of Sri Guru Granth Saheb jee, Sri Japji Sahib. For those who have Japji Sahib memorized, this shouldn't be too hard. This has to be separate from your punj bania. By agreeing to the poll you're signing a contract with Guru Sahib to do an EXTRA Japji Sahib paath daily for the rest of the week. Starting, Next Monday, July 7, 2008 We can start slow and gradually build to do longer banis. If you have any other suggestions on what you would like to do, please post in the forum, and I'll post it as a collective effort for everyone. Again, bhul…

Simran & Suaas I looked at her. She was so beautiful. Breathtakingly beautiful. Nay, she was beauty itself. She was wearing a bluish garment sparkling with light. Her face radiated peace and composure I had yet to experience on Earth. She was standing besides a river. The sun was rising and the river reflected the dawn's beauty in all it's glory. The whole scene raptured me and filled me with awe. She had a big bag which seemed to be half filled with stones. It was only when she pulled out one of the stones that I realized it was no ordinary stone. No, it was a beautiful gem. I had never seen such a beautiful gem, surpassing the brilliance and the elegance of any …

Sahibzada Jujhar Singh the second son of Guru Gobind Singh, was born to Mata Jito ji (also known as Mata Sundari ji) at Anandpur on 14 March 1691 (is now celebrated on 9 April each year - Nanakshahi calendar). Like his elder brother, Ajit Singh, he started training in the fighting skills (Gatka) as soon as he started learning the religious texts aged about 4 to 5 years. In 1699, when he was eight years old, he received holy Amrit at the rites of Khalsa initiation, called Amrit Sanskar. By the time it became necessary to leave Anandpur under the pressure of a besieging host in December 1705, Jujhar Singh, nearing the completion of his fifteenth year, was an experienced you…

In the era of Guru Ram Das Ji, one cannot leave out Rajni, youngest daughter of Rai Duni Chand, revenue collector (kardar) of Patti. (The story has all the myth, magic and miracles of a genuine sakhi but is nevertheless a charming story). Rajni was a Sikh, a disciple of the Guru. One day she was sitting with her sisters admiring some new clothing they all had received from their father. The girls were ecstatic and exclaiming how good their father was to them. Rajni observed that all gifts are ultimately from God. Their father was merely an instrument of His greatness. Unfortunately for her, he overheard her comment and became very angry. It was not the First…

NOT SAINTS, BUT SAINT-SOLDIERS NOW Jahangir had come to believe that Guru Arjan Dev was a deadly danger to Islam The Emperor was eager to force all non-Muslims to become Muslims But the Guru's teachings were making even Muslims give up Islam and become Sikhs. Jahangir thought, 'Islam has to be saved. The Guru's activities must end. He must die’ Hence, he had ordered that the Guru be killed with tortures The Guru was tortured for four hot summer days. He was seated and boiled in boiling water. He was made to sit on red-hot iron plates, heated from below. Red hot burning sand was poured on his head He bore all this without a groan, cry, or curse. Exposed to all t…

I will mainly post about converts during Mahasha Raj. Maybe you have already heard about some...

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.
