SIKH STUFF WEBSITE
by Guest stop beabi- 2 replies
- 1.3k views
I would like to point out very politely and give Sikh Stuff website an opportunity to 'fix' this problem: http://sikhstuff.com/product.php?id_product=38 PLEASE don't put Satguru in 'boxes' - Gutke Sahibs/Pothian Sahibs should NEVER be in such conditions - no matter 'HOW' nice the box looks - our Guru Ji are hajar najar. PLEASE remove such item from you beautiful website and NEVER sell such a item. Dassan Daas,

The greatest love story ever written
by Guest Guest- 4 replies
- 1.7k views
If you wish to know of the greatest love story ever written, look no further than Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. You will only find one type of love accounted for in this wondrous Saroop, the account of Unconditional Love. This Unconditional Love caused the 1st Guru of the Sikhs to journey over 1000KM by foot to spread the ethos of Unconditional Love. This Unconditional Love caused a great martyr who was put under horrendous torture of sitting on hot plates and have boiling hot sand poured over them to utter “Tera Kiya Mitha Lage” - Your actions seem so sweet to me. This Unconditional Love allowed a father to sacrifice his mother, his father and his fou…

Letters to God?
by Guest GKAUR- 4 replies
- 891 views
Hi All, Is writing a letter to God still praying? Is this ok in Sikhi? Writing seems a bit more personal. Sometimes its easier to write your feelings down as sometimes going to the Gurdwara can be an emotional experience and things I want to say can be forgotten.

I got a job offer working at a supermarket as a delivering driver, but each time I will be out delivering there most of the time I will have to pick up meat in the bag, I didn't think this was a problem as I am not physically touching the meat but jus lifting the bag, never less i went to the gurdwara today and as I know the granthi singh there he told me you cannot work there as I am amritdhari and you should not touch meat even in bags, I asked a few other singhs they said same to me as well, i am in 2 minds now over what to do, what shall I do???

Pesh after surgery? 1 2
by Guest GuptS- 11 replies
- 1.6k views
WJKK WJKF, I would like to reach out to my learned brothers and sisters on this site and humbly request your advice on the following situation. I recently had surgery on my stomach. The procedure was laproscopic (5 small holes in my abdomen). In the pre surgery meeting i had requested that no hair be removed. However, after the surgery, i found that the surgeon had removed some hair on my abdomen in order to do the surgery. I have spoken to a number of senior Singhs, one says that I must pesh as a kurheit has been committed although not intentional and that i have to retake amrit. The others say there is no need to pesh as it was not intentional and that i should do ar…

I once had a dream where
by Guest dazed- 5 replies

I once had a dream, short one, remember only bits.... I was in this huge hall, there was gold everywhere, the walls, the floors, the the huge cavernous ceilings. The hall was packed with Singhs and Singhnees all running around having fun. There were multicolored gatka Chakrees being spun, people playing gatka, and I say playing not learning shastar vidya because it was like a festival. There was only anand, not meditative but just pure happiness, joyous, bubbling. Everything was so colourful so amazingly vibrant, khalsa orange and blue all mixing with the gold background. I sat down in front of a vaja, with some people as well i think, and just started playing. I've nev…

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.
