WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Once, there was discussion about God. Guru Ji asked, "Brothers! Who was the king during Kabir's life-time?" Then, some old persons said, "Humanyoo". Someone said, "Pithora". One said, "Sikandar". One said, "Madan Paal was the king". There was a big debate for a long time. Guru Ji continued to listen. “We cannot reach them; the God's men are high. The castes, 'varnas' and kingdoms, all remain lower.” They all became silent. The Sikhs asked, "O True King! Why did you ask? Please tell yourself". Guru Ji said, "This is the glory of 'Naam'. Kabir was a poor weaver. Everyone knows him. And the king was the owner of lar…

Subject: The begining of Sikh Gurduaras in the UK-Part One A Sikh Gurduara is the abode of the Guru.Wherever Sikhs have gone, one of their first act for the community is to establish a Gurduara for their spiritual needs.This was started by Guru Nanak ji when he settled in Kartarpur and built a small kutia for himself in the fields.This is where all shardhaloos went to have his darshan.Sometimes,they would just have his darshan as he ploughed his fields, and be content with the blessings of his sight. Then two houses were built in Sri Goindwal sahib and Khaddoor sahib from where the parchar of Sikhi was propogated.Guru Amardas then built a …

Song Of The Khalsa By - M.S.S Livtar Singh Khalsa Many speak of courage. Speaking cannot give it. It's in the face of death that we must live it. When things are down and darkest, that's when we stand tallest. Until the last star falls, we won't give an inch at all! Stand as the Khalsa, strong as steel, steady as stone. Give our lives to God and Guru, mind and soul, breath and bone. Guru Arjun gave His Life, to stand for what was right. He was burned and tortured, five long days and nights. He could have stopped it any time, just by giving in. His Strength a solid wall, He never gave an inch at all! Sons of the Khalsa, remember those who died. Stoo…
