   Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ke fateh Sat sri akaal to all of my brothers and sisters. My name is Gurpreet Kaur, i've joined this forum as i've heard i can put my thoughts/opinions forward to all the fellow sikh youths. I am only 14 years of age, and sumthing has been troubling me for a very long time. About a week back i received an e-mail about a new film that is cuming out, called 'larki punjaban'. This film is about a sikh girl who is seperated from her family in the 1947 final cynical act of the collapsing empire. Wen she is seperated she turns to a muslim boy for help and protection, but then falls in love with him, they get married and she converts to islam…

   Author: Kulbir Singh Date: 04-17-03 15:53 One day Guru Sahib - Guru Gobind Singh jee asked sangat who the king was during the time of Bhagat Kabir jee. One Sikh said that the king was Humayun. Another Sikh got up and said that the king was in fact Babur. Another Sikh suggested that the king during the time of Bhagat Kabir jee was Sikandar Lodhi. Many other guesses were made. All this time Guru Sahib kept smiling and did not approve of any name. In the end, Guru Sahib said that the purpose of his question was to tell that the bhagat (devotee of Vaheguru) is greater than any other person in the world. He said that this is a perfect example that all of the sangat kno…

   Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh! How come Singhnees always have to wear pajamis with their cholas and Singhs dont have to? Like how the Singh's just wear their kachera under their cholla but singhnees have to wear pajamis. I am just wondering because I have never seen a Singhnee do that before. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh!

    Architecture of Siri Harmandar sahib - Part 2

    Contd... Is the Journey into Siri Harmandar Sahib symbolic of our Journey in our jeevans? Pyare jio, I think so. When one travels around Amritsar, you feel the smog, car horns, dust, etc. It is complete chaos, even right up to the complex. Similarly in life, everyone is caught up in the rat race, always in a hurry, busy in all of their chores and duties. Then one enters the complex and sees Siri Harmandar sahib through the entrance. The first thing that hits you is the complete sense of peace. Eventhough you have only walked in a few steps in the entrance and come upon the stairs, the peace is amazing, and in complete contrast to the hustle bustle outdoor. Similarly w…

    waheguru ji ke khalsa, waheguru ji ke fateh Pyare jio, I was listening to katha by Veer Gurdeep Singh on Punjab radio. He was discussing Sahib Siri Guru Arjan Dev Ji, and the construction of Siri Harmandar Sahib. This led to a very interesting discussion in our household about the construction and sublime architecture of Siri Harmander sahib. Most of this is my own reflections, so if incorrect, then it should only reflect on Dass, and not Punjab radio. Some Architectural points: 1. Many years ago, I watched a Channel 4 documentary on the tidal systems, and how it works. The scientists then visited Siri Harmander Sahib and taran taran discussi…
