Recently I heard a katha about the power of sangat and how guru sahib says that if there's anyone above the guru it is his sangat. What the sangat says guru sahib cannot ignore. There's many examples in saakhis; 1. Bhai chajju jis bricks 2. Baba budha ji's bachan 3.bhai Sahlo ji And many more... Please it's a benti in your charan sangat ji, please give me the blessings of a happy married life with my husband. May waheguru ji save us from a divorce, may Dhan guru Ram das ji keep the honor of his laavan. Guru gobind Singh ji says it's paap to even think of anyone but ur partner, give us blessings so that we can follow guru sahibs teach…

I read it, and then couldn't resist from posting The Secret. The Secret One day, one friend asked another, "How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down." With her eyes smiling, she said, "I know the Secret!" "What secret is that?" To which she replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the Secret with others." "The Secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on Waheguru to make me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust Waheguru to supply according t…

Taking Amrit Without A Full Kesh And Dhari?
by Guest Deep- 2 replies
- 1.5k views
Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Is it possible to take Amrit whilst you are still in the process of growing your kesh and dhari? I have been told that it is down to the discretion of the Panj Piyare carrying out the ceremony. I stopped cutting my hair over a month ago and it is still pretty short (about 2 inches) and my beard is only about a cm long at the moment. There is an Amrit Sanchar taking place near me in about a weeks time and I am a bit nervous because of this. I know it would make sense to wait but what if I get hit by a bus tomorrow? I'm not really willing to wait another 9.4 million lifetimes to get another chance. Is there anyone out there tha…

Just a doubt , Whats the condition of racial abuse/hate in USA nowadays , I heard it really boiled after the 9/11 , they were targetting sikhs as well , I just want to know , would there be any problem if I join any USA institiutes for postgraduation not acaemically but because I am a sikh . I have very modern viewpoints and have absolutely no issue gelling in with who soever from wherever.!! , but whats the state in USA?? , i heard they do hard security checks whereve…

Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! An amritdhari Gursikh I know has not been too well, as well as quite a few illnesses and diseases he has just been told he has another medical problem which will involve an operation.He seems very distressed and upset. He will remind himself that this is Vahegurus hukham every now and then and so does everyone else, but still he seems to be sooo upset as its just another thing after another for him, and this last one has just topped it off and hes even more upset about it all, before he was accepting it as Waheguru's hukham but I think it's getting to him now.... I know its easy for us to say just think of it as Vahegurus huk…

Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it. -
Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.
