Guru Granth Sahib = Sargun Saroop of God. Can we draw the conclusion that when Guru jee comes to our home, then he is coming to allow us the oppurtunity of doing seva of the Lord in order to clean our sins? I mean he would not go where he did not want to right ? So he is where is he is in order to give us the oppurtunity to do seva? I am right here here or have I missed the bandwagon???

Plight of Nagalim

Welcome to the Naga International Support Center http://www.nagalim.nl/ The Naga International Support Center, NISC, has been set up to focus attention on a very real but forgotten conflict. A conflict that resulted in a raging war on the frontiers of North East India and Myanmar, between the Naga peoples, India and Myanmar. Landlocked and inaccessible to outsiders, because of India's travel restrictions, Nagalim, homeland of the Nagas, has been practically isolated from the outside world. This being the main reason why the international community knows little about a war that has taken the lives of approximately 200.000 people. The Nagas declared independence in 1947,…

Note : Shikhandi was a character in the Mahabharat who was a eunuch (neither male nor female). Calling Mr Manmohan Singh as "Sikhandi" may imply that he isn't man enough to control Indian politics and the remote control is in Sonia Gandhi's hands. http://headlines.sify.com/news/fullstory.p...M~sikhandi' No apology for calling PM Sikhandi: Yashwant Monday, 06 September , 2004, 16:12 Kolkata: Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha today said there was no question of his tendering an apology for describing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as "Sikhandi", asserting that he was only speaking the truth. "Why should I apologise? I had to speak the truth. There is no question of an…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh There was kirtan in our gurdwara in Denmark yesterday and today. The chardi kala singhs and singhnia who did kirtan are from England. I don't know if you read this but if you do I just want to say that you were truly amazing all of you! I've never seen so many young Amrit-Dharis outside India. Thanks for coming all the way from England to our small country. :lol: ))))

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Saadh sangat jee, I tried to find some info on the white refined beet sugar and the brown unrefined cane sugar. This is what I got. Please take some time to read it and let me know what you think. Thanks! I have been using brown cane sugar of Great Value for like 2 n half months now because I was told that the white one is passed through animal bone charcoal. However, many Singhs I came across don't make a big deal out of it, so I guess I am gonna try to take it easy as well. At the same time, I wanna know the sangat's input on this matter as I don't understand any major difference between the white beet sugar and th…

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040905/cth2.htm#12 People have become too ‘materialistic’ Our Correspondent Chandigarh, September 4 “We have become so materialistic that we don’t do anything for our religion”, said Mangal Dhillon, an actor, director and producer at a press conference held at Sector 17 today. His movie, “Parkash Shri Guru Granth Sahib” is ready for release. The movie intends to give information on Guru Granth Sahib and the Bani. All major gurdwaras are also shown in the movie. It will be screened in gurdwaras, schools and colleges. “I am also planning to bring out VCDs, since such movies don’t…

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.

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.
