I was reading a text abt guru gobind singh ji banis.I was reading the translation.I came across a thing in ARDASS which I never thought about earlier. I listened ardass since my childhood but never noticed this thing.In the very first line we say: 'Prithm bhaugauti simar ke guru nanak layee dhiayee' (please excuze me for my transliteration) here 'bhaugauti' is kirpan....i.e. we have to worship kirpan before we 'dhiayee' on Guru Nanak Dev ji. I am confused here.Guru ji equated kirpan with Durga and bhaugauti.Guru ji can NEVER worship Durga as a deity ,as Guru ji is at MUCH MUCH higher level than Durga or bhaugauti. My question now is why did guru ji tell us to worshi…

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Sehajdhari Sikhs (well the word itself is strange because some would say a sehajdhari is a sikh without hair, others say it a person from other religion who has interest in Sikhi/or wants to become a Sikh, and Sehajdharis themselfes say they are unorthodox or liberal Sikhs who do not follow the 'Sikh Dress code' or 'eating codes' ) i just want to know if S. Sikhs are allowed to vote in common Gurdwara elections held at various Sikh Gurdwaras...i know some places they are also running the Parbandak Cometian and are leaders....how is the situation at UR Gurdwaras.....and do you think S. Sikhs should be allowed to do so …

Waheguru Je Kha Khalsa, Waheguru Je Ke Fateh: Boy, I sure didn't see this coming...no wait, actually I did! As I expected all along, the darling of the "he wears a turban so let's vote for him no matter how right wing his positions are" groups' candidate got his #@! kicked in the Illinois GOP Senate Primary tonight. With 99% of the precincts reporting, the good doctor from Illinois finished dead last in the Republican primary garnering a measly 0.8% of total votes cast. Perhaps now he will realize what I've been saying all along. Just because you are a good businessman doesn't necessarily mean you're suited for the political arena. Likewise, just because you wear…

Here's the post from tapoban.org forum .. : (Pretty interesting ) Just wanted to inform the Sangat that Yudh UK went well, alot of good gatka, a few Nangs turned up and 2 got BEATEN UP OUTSIDE! so the brave Akali Nang Singh Fauj had to call the police down, police looked pretty interested in the gatka too, lol, and then what do you know, "Nidooo" Nang man himself turns up, too scared to go inside and challenge Teji (Uptej Singh East London) to a lil "Hadh Torhh" but just stood about to attract attention. To begin with, these Nangs had a bit of a badman image associated with them. But now everyone knows their just jokers, there were a few Nangs watching the tournament…

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Everyone seems to be talking about Babas, Sants etc on the forum, can sangat, post their views on following Babas or Sants. Arent we supposed to belive only in Guru Granth SAhib ji's teachings? Are Sants and Babas neccessery to make us understand the teachings of Guru's? What is Sikhi's view on Sants? Are we following sants and babas more than we follow Guru's teachings?
