Hiya, im new to the site so i dont know if this thread has been done before. Ok, so my knowledge is very limited when it comes to sikhism and although my parents are both sikh they do not have all the answers, anyways someone told me today that Guru Gobind singh ji had 3 wives, can someone shed some light on this please? and if this is true wat were his reasons for carrying out polygomy? as ive always believed that it is forbidden in sikhism.....thank you!

Vaheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguroo Ji Ki Fateh Keeping in line with the rules of the forum. We are re-posting this message and keeping personal identities as gupt as possible but at the same time trying to reach to sangat who may have been effected or involved with a certain amritdhari couple who are based in the midlands around the Sandwell and Dudley area involved in anti-gurmat practises. An investigation is being launched and we aim to provide a gupt service for individuals affected. Were you told by the bibi that she was Mata Bhag Kaur re-incarnated? Were you told that your soul was a famous gursikh from sikh history (Baba Deep Singh, Bhai Kanaiya Ji) in a past li…

Understand....Think....Reflect We ask ourselves why bad things happen in this world......and most of time we have no answers.....we look to reasoning and understanding and to the one teacher that always gives us the right answer...Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.....who tells us....that Waheguru firstly puts us through pain to give us peace in the end. Bad things happen and the world goes through the pain.....What do we do as Sikhs to put ourselves at peace.....we remember WAHEGURU.....and ask for "SARBAT DA PALAH" - "Have mercy on the world" BUT truthfully asking ourselves, how many times have we WHOLE HEARTEDLY said in our Ardaas "SARBAT DA PALAH", before asking for Naam, B…

Coming from certain Punjabi background which I am sure most people are aware of I have found that the Punjabi dialect we speak is slightly different from other Sikh communities in the UK. It is not worse or better but just a bit different. ie I find that our Punjabi is more similar to Punjabi spoken by Muslim Punjabis. However, I also find that Canadian/American Punjabi sounds more similar to what I speak then the UK Punjabis. What could be the reasons behind this? Could this just be the geographic locations in the Punjab. As most of the people from the community I come from, originate from Amritsar Lahore. Ambala areas. Could this also be the reason that Sikhs tha…

Ragi darshan lal is in UK after his failed mission in India. There were some gurnindaks to receive him at airport. While some of them might be his relatives one of them was so called dal khalsa leader Manmohan singh. It is time that such traitors are identified and not entertained by sangat.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Bhen Jis and Bhajis, I've been using this forum for ages but finally got the guts to post something. There is a new SikhiToTheMax demo avaliable to download, I created a TinyURL to it: http://tinyurl.com/k5y8b I stumbled upon it whilst websurfing. There is no name and contact details for the application and it says that it's only meant to be a demo of the Technology, to 'inspire' the authors of the real SikhiToTheMax to do a new version.??? I hope it does too. It's got some new features which are well worth checking out. However it does seem a bit rough round the edges, with loads of features that are not even working. …

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.
