I have read a lot of books about the situation in Punjab leading up to Operation Blue Star. In some of these books they refer to Bhindranwale as a religious fanatic who resorted to terrorism to have his way. Some of these books cite that he organized attacks on Nirankaris and even innocent Hindus, and that he even had a hit list of people to be murdered. They even say that he was brought to power by Indira Gandhi's government to undermine the control of the Akali Dal party. I'm not sure what to believe becuz most Sikhs hold him in such high esteem while most hindus see him as a terrorist. I've concluded that if anything, Bhindranwale was a Sikh fundamentalist who wan…

waheguru ji ka khalsa wahguru jee kee fateh im not sure. but know how in sikhi it says that guru jee rescues u frm the dhram raj or jam dhoots or sumat by pullin u frm your hair. is it tue that the guru jee only helps the amrithdaree frm their hair, because he/she commited themselves to the guru? an the non-amritharee doesnt get rescued frm the guru cos, he/she dint follow the gurus instruction. i know am not makin much sense. is there any quotes on this frm the sggs? thanx DALY KAUR

Here's what Kala Afghana writes about Sarovar in Harimandir Sahib in his new book ''Gurbilas P6...'' At page 91 - ''Water in Amritsar tanks is obtained from river through canal. The water contains all the possible dirt and garbage. When canal water passes through villages, there it is polluted with the passing of urine and feces into it, many birds and animals also add filth - how this water in Amrit Sarover can be taken as Nectar and also in other tanks. How singing and reading of Baani from Guru Granth can turn into Amrit - Nectar?'' i got this post of another board, by a member JJJ.

As being the cyber freak for more than 4 + years.. i think now it's time for young cyber sikhs (like you and me) to put all of our focus on printing sikhi materials and distributing it to all others.. B) Not just gurbani, we can include loads of other stuff.. it can be a good information package for the person who don't surf internet that much.. what ya think..?

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.
