Sat Sri Akal, I have asked question by fellow. We are always praying to Akal, everything is God, Then why we do not use Akal in beginning of Ardass, instead use Bhagauti (Sword)? Even if Metaphor , why we dont get anything else there is so synonyms to Akal in Guru Granth Sahib, Why is word sword comes before names of our Gurus before Ardass. Is it sin to start ardass as "Pritham Akal Simar kay", is this also becomes kachi bani? This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Gauree on Pannaa 274 BgauqI BgvMq Bgiq kw rMgu ] sgl iqAwgY dust kw sMgu ] mn qy ibnsY sglw Brmu ] kir pUjY sgl pwrbRhmu ] swDsMig pwpw mlu KovY ] iqsu BgauqI kI miq aUqm hovY ] BgvMq kI thl k…

I have been grappling a problem in my brain for the past 2 days. I have lost all interest in doing anything, whatès the point of doing anything in life, if there really is no way it is going to remain, or if the whole point of life is to remember god. Why did god create us in the first place..

My grandfather lived in India for quite some time in Madras, Mysore, and Bangalore. When he arrived in the 1940's the first thing he bought was this ring. He has no idea what the meaning is, and after asking many people one Sikh lady told me she thinks it might be close to the Ik Onkar and mentioned something about a word tghat sounded like "kay-dar" or "key-dar," Not really sure. <BR><BR>Any help would mean a lot. He met my grandmother short after and said that this ring brought him much luck. Luck is great but I would really like to know the meaning of this ring if there is any. Thanks in advance.

If it is not our word(indian) then why to use it? and how could Sikhs accept this, if these are real meanings?

Guys, I want to discuss how commercial is too commercial when it comes to Punjabi TV shows currently running in Canada? All shows on Vision TV except 2-3 shows are tooo commercial, as they show TV program amid ,not the other way round. Hosts are poorly prepared and presented. Does anybody care? It seems Canada may be a developed country but our Punjabi community is still 50 year backward, as we take all the <banned word filter activated> they show in the nameof Punjabism on TV. But recently I watched a new kinda show on SSTV , named ipunjabi http://ipunjabi.ca and really liked it. And was shocked too see the guy is running this show almost out of his own pocket.…

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.
