Gurfateh... Visit : http://www.sgpc.net/forum/default.asp and see that somone hacked their server and put some Islamic related flag as the banner..

"Divide and Rule" tatic.. Spread the WORD around...

Waheguruji ka Khalsa Waheguruji ki fateh The Sikh Idenity GURU GOBIND SINGH ON VAISAKHI of 1699 established the Khalsa brotherhood. As integral to the moral discipline he ordained that all his Sikhs keep unshorn hair. Essentially he created a casteless and classless society and assigned the title ‘Singh’ to all males, meaning lions and ‘Kaur’ meaning princess to females. After the partition of India in 1947 and more so after the genocide of the Sikhs in 1984, some disturbing trends among the Sikhs need serious thinking by our intlligentsia, religious and political leaders as how to arrest and counteract them without any further loss of time. The f…

Sat Sri Akal: Sat Sri Akal: Recently, a new newspaper titled "Indian Express" was started in the Central New Jersey area. In it's last issue (June 20-26 is the date given on the newspaper), a hukamnama from the Guru Granth Sahib was published. I am very appreciative that the newspaper wishes to spread the Guru's word, but I am even more concerned that the word of the Guru, which is from the Almighty itself, is being published in the newspaper. Everyone knows the treatment that newspapers get...from being thrown to curbs, to being kept on the ground, to even lining bird cages! I do not want that the Guru's word be treated in such deplorable ways. I e-mailed the Edit…

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the 1. Egypt's Great Pyramids World. Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes: 2. Taj Mahal 3. Grand Canyon 4. Panama Canal 5. Empire State Building 6. St. Peter's Basilica 7. China's Great Wall While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can…

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh I was at school today when i heard that a sikh girl had just run away from her home to be with her boyfreind. This really upset me. but on top of that i heard a muslim girl say 'sikhs don't discipline their children, they're all the same' i obviously confronted her with the comment, and told what she needed to hear! But i wanted to know what everyone thinks: Do all sikhs get the blame if something like this happens? Does all of the society suffer when only one Sikh does something their not supposed to? Are we al responsible for one Sikh's wrong doing? As alot of people say it is bestii and embarrasment to our religion, so …

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.
