Waheguroo ji ka Khalsa Waheguroo ji ki Fateh !! Well here comes a story which suits me completely **Galin asi changiyan aachaari burriyan, manahu kasudha kaaliyan bahar chitvahiyan** There was a follower of Vishnu (also a devta)... he never use to say anything except meditate on vishnu's name "Jai Vishnu"... whenever he use to open his mouth, he just use to say "Jai Vishnu". With lot of naam japp that follower got filled with ego... once he went to vishnu and asked who is your biggest follower in the universe. He asked 2-3 times and then vishnu pointed a finger on earth and shown him one farmer working in his fields... vishnu said he is my greatest follower. That devta…

There was a relegious king and one the supereme preist of his kingdom was caught doing burglary. The king was very surprised as he couldnot understand that such a relegious(jati, tapi, sidh, jogi) person who has all these qualities can become a thief...

Waheguroo ji ka Khalsa Waheguroo ji ki Fateh !! Well in bhai veer singh ji's book i read this story... i liked it a lot... Bhai Sahib had a habit that before eating food he used to feed the sparrows... Once while feeding the sparrows he raised his hands and said "Bandeya tun pichhe reh gaya, chiriyan baazi leh gayiyan". He said it again and again and the other singh who saw him asked what do you mean bhai sahib. Bhai sahib said these sparrows while eating everytime they take anything in their mouth they bow their head to thank GOD(who has given them food) and we humans always eat and never thank GOD for what HE has given us... sparrows are far better than us...

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! I would just like to ask the sangat are spirits allowed in gurudwara? I am asking this question because i had a personal experience few years ago. After conductin a sikh youth camp few of us stayed back in the gurdwara for that night as we wanted to clean up everything. So we did rehraas together in the darbar sahib. Suddenly this one guy came out of noway and he sat right in front of me and he joined us in. After finising rehraas, the guy just dissapeared (this aint a joke) .. we asked the granthi sahib and he said sprits do come to gurd.. Is this true?? vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!

First we all know that no one can play the real role of any of our guru sahibs. But to give information to mass non-sikh community regarding sikhi and to educate ourselves.. would it be okay to have someone sikh play the role of let say guru nanak dev jee??? (just like the role of jesus in some christian movies).. Some singhs say that many ignorant uneducated sangat will start poojing the actors and stuff.. but what if we can overcome that problem ?? Or maybe like we don't show the image of actor playing the role of guru sahib.. (A shadow or something) ??? let me know ur views.. im 50/50 on this topic..
