Gur Fateh Ji, I apologize if I offend anyone in this post but I find this practice quite irritating. Could someone please explain the ritual behind throwing flowers on Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? I understand that those who favor this deem it a sign of respect. However we as Sikhs are to respect all of Wahegurus beings. How does Waheguru feel about humans plucking flowers? Bhagat Kabir Ji states: ਆਸਾ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀਉ ਕੇ ਪੰਚਪਦੇ ੯ ਦੁਤੁਕੇ ੫ ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ ਪਾਤੀ ਤੋਰੈ ਮਾਲਿਨੀ ਪਾਤੀ ਪਾਤੀ ਜੀਉ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਪਾਹਨ ਕਉ ਪਾਤੀ ਤੋਰੈ ਸੋ ਪਾਹਨ ਨਿਰਜੀਉ ॥੧॥ ਭੂਲੀ ਮਾਲਨੀ ਹੈ ਏਉ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਜਾਗਤਾ ਹੈ ਦੇਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਾਤੀ ਬਿਸਨੁ ਡਾਰੀ ਫੂਲ ਸੰਕਰਦੇਉ ॥ ਤੀਨਿ ਦੇਵ ਪ੍ਰਤਖਿ ਤੋਰਹਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਕਿਸ ਕੀ ਸੇਉ ॥੨॥ ਪਾਖਾਨ ਗਢ…

http://www.sikh24.com/2016/03/25/the-arrest-and-detainment-of-u-s-citizen-bhupinder-singh-cheema-and-why-it-matters/#.VvcdW_krJPY --- SAN JOSE, California, USA—It was 2:30 AM, the night before the Sarbat Khalsa 2015. Kulwinder Singh and four others had been gambling on the balcony of a house in Batala, Punjab. A gang of six men approached them. According to a first information report (FIR) in Batala police records, one of the men carried a daatr, or a sickle-like tool, probably the length of a sword—sometimes used to harvest crops, sometimes to kill. At least one of the others carried a pistol. Give us everything you have, they said. The man with the daatr swung the b…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Kee Fateh! Please forgive my ignorance in advance as I am just seeking advice and not really promoting something. Daas became vegetarian 8 years ago due to having issuing with some personal family matter. During this path for 8 years daas has been very healthy but due to busyness (babies and work) of my life daas was not able to follow daily workout routine which was okay as daas remained healthy until the last few years. Daas felt very tired, low, depressed and lazy. Even though I tried to workout but no luck so after family pushing to go to the doctors to get checked, daas was diagnosed with very low b12 levels, I mean very low l…

So, some of my idiotic relatives are doing this Jagrata [Awake all night] Hindu ceremony where they stay awake and sing to Hindu Goddesses. This infuriates me, but then they are not Amritdhari Sikhs but even some of them attend being of very little wisdom. Why? They are Sikhs by name but not of actions. Such Hindufied nonsense does not leave us, why?

Recently we have seen a few Sikh political prisoners that been locked up for nearly 30years for no reason freed slowly. We have also seen blacklisted NRI Sikhs have their names removed so that they can come back to India. So on one hand Modi's Indian BJP government is trying to signal that they want Sikh separatists to come back to India and carry on living their lives as if nothing happened in the last 30 years. Yet its external affair wings ie its intelligence agency the RAW is very actively creating trouble for Western Sikhs by pumping out fake propaganda stories in mainstream media with titles like "isis Sikh canadian woman to attack delhi" and "uk radical Sikhs to t…

We're seeing the effects of having uneducated individuals causing such problems in Punjab and now we have youth who are copying our adults and adopting uneducated mentality by supporting these nakli sant/sadhs which are causing so many problems in Sikh Panth.
