Vaaheguroo Jee Kaa Khaalsaa Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh! :pray: Dear Sangat Jee, I thought it would be best to post on the gupt section due to the nature post and I am unsure whether this is a private matter between myself and Guroo jee. Since I first ever began doing simran whether during the day or amrithvelaa my whole body and mind goes into an uncomfortable and 'wierd state'. It first begins with a mild headache where there seems to be such a large force pushing onto the front of my brain. Then as I continue my mind makes me believe I am flying through the air and then begin to spin vertically its soo surreal. This problem has never gone away no matter what time I …

Negative Thoughts during Simran and Prayers!!! Scary experience.
by Guest randomperson44- 0 replies

WJKK WJKF, I am having great difficulty with my thoughts. Ever since I started doing Japji Sahib and Simran after a few months Ive been bombarded with negative thoughts and it is getting to the point where my mind cant focus properly on prayers or Simran. This never happened to me before and so I don't know what to do with this situation. But I had this experience where I was doing Simran and then I feel asleep and then had this sleep paralysis type of dream where an entity was taunting me of doing Simran (making fun of me). It is to the point where when I go the the Gurudwara, I get scared for some reason. I don't know what to do please help!!!

Forgiveness for serious sin
by Guest H singh- 0 replies
- 567 views
When I was young everything was good and I had really good time doing paath and attending gurpurabs. When I went to college I became worldly and started drinking as well. Then I started to become atheistic and started to question religion. I became increasingly angry towards religion and on one night I became so angry that I didn't think about the consequences and said some really bad words about Gurus. I other word I did beadbi in my mind. After that things became really scary and strange. In my dreams I saw amrithdhari sikhs with Kirpan on my necks and with very angry look in there eyes. I became really scared and I started asking forgiveness to Gurus about what I have …

The Mom-in-law-factor…. Ok so in comparison to everything in the world my problems are zilch! But I would like to post this in gupt because a) I don’t want people to know who I am b) I would like others to share their advice/experience in an anonymous manner if they so wish I don’t even know if I should be writing this on a sikhee board but I am just after someone to ‘talk’ too as I have moved from my parents town and left all my family and friends behind.

Dasam Dwar
by Guest Wahwaheguru- 0 replies
- 652 views
Waheguru Jio, Gurbani tells us everything. However, I wanted to put this question in front of all gurmukhs on this page. Is it logical to desire the opening of the dasam dwar? This question arose as I believe it is up to our guru whether to bless us with that or not. Our purpose is just to love him unconditionally as our gurus did. Shed some light with your vichaar.

Weird soul

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh So about 10 years ago I saw and felt something weird and I was wondering if anyone could explain it. Umm so a person I saw glowed really brightly and I felt like my soul was “talking” to this other person’s soul. Is it possibly for two souls to “talk” to one other without actually saying a word to the person and being a couple of meters away( I’m not going crazy right)? Just really curious because I think of this every once in a while and it really bothers me. Bhul Chuk Maaf Karni Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

@S1ngh When you go to https://www.sikhsangat.com/ Chrome says "Not secure" The reason, according to Google help, is that Chrome is trying to go to an https (secure http) address, but the website is giving a non-encrypted http connection. With secure connections, your ISP only knows you went to this site. With insecure connections, it means that the ISP, or whoever else, can read know what posts you read, know what your posted, and your username and possibly password. Please enable HTTPS.

Video on the tale, gurdwara, and manuscript: link As the story goes, during the Vadda Ghallughara genocide against the Sikhs perpetrated by the Afghan Durrani Empire on 5–6 February 1762, not only were Sikh lives lost, but our original Damdami Sahib Bir recension was also lost in that carnage. However, over the years I have spent researching our history, many claimed it was taken back to Afghanistan by Ahmad Shah Abdali's troops as loot whilst others said it was secretly hidden somewhere by the Singhs for safe-keeping. As of today, it remains untraceable and I presume it is gone for good. However, I came across a couple of articles stating that there were actually around five master-copies of the original Damdami Bir, with one of these copies being safeguarded by the jatha of Bhai Sudha Singh of the Shaheedan Misl. "It is said that the tenth Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh had got five birs written at Damdama Sahib. The bani (writings) of the ninth Sikh master Guru Tegh Bahadur were incorporated in these birs. These five birs were given to different jathas (groups) of Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh to be safely installed. One bir was being taken by Sudha Singh who was leading a jatha of 19 Sikhs, when Abdali'[s] forces stormed Kup-Rohira and killed thousands of Sikhs. Though all 19 Sikhs were massacred by Abdali, Sudha Singh somehow brought the bir to Kuthala. Since then it has been kept at village gurdwara." (Times of India, 2012) The gurdwara today [Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji in Kuthala] has a certain historical manuscript that they claim is one of the five master-copies of the Damdama recension. You can see close-up shots of the bir in the video posted. I will also share close-up images of its folios in the comment section. I will also provide a faithful English translation of the video's narration so non-Punjabi speakers may benefit from this post. I will leave the question on whether this bir is authentic or not to your judgement but I will provide my own analysis below. English translation of the video's narration: The Guru-form Guru Khalsa Holy Congregation (Sadh Sangat) Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. The Gurdwara Sahib that the congregation is currently beholding is situated in Village Kuthala, near Malerkotla, in the Sangrur district of Punjab. A very great treasure is preserved within this Gurdwara Sahib. The history of this Gurdwara Sahib is very closely related to the Vada Ghalughara (The Great Holocaust) that took place in February 1762. Baba Sudha Singh Ji, the third head of the Shaheedi Misl, arrived at this location considering it a safe place. He brought with him that sacred holy scripture (Saroop) which the Tenth Father, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, had personally dictated to Bhai Mani Singh Ji on the holy land of Damdama Sahib. Upon arriving, he personally performed the last rites (cremation) of 19 martyred Sikhs at this site. As he prepared to leave to take command of the Jatha (the Sikh contingent), the sacred holy scripture he had brought was enshrined at this very location. At that time, this place was known as Dera Jaga Sidh, but nowadays, a very beautiful building stands here in the name of Gurdwara Sahib Shaheedi. The sacred holy scriptures that were enshrined at that time are today ceremoniously displayed (Prakashwan) with great respect every Channi Dashmi (the tenth day of the bright lunar fortnight) for the congregation to behold. Devotees from within the country and abroad arrive to catch a glimpse of these sacred scriptures and receive the Guru's blessings. Every year, an annual Gurmat Samagam (religious congregation) is held for five consecutive days in memory of the martyrs of the Great Holocaust, concluding on Magh Sudi Dashmi. Furthermore, a book containing the full detailed history—titled after Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji and the Hand-written Holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji—was released in February 2013 by the managing volunteers based on historical research. It was released by the 14th head of the Shaheedi Misl, Singh Sahib Baba Makhan Singh Ji (the current head of Baba Bakala Sahib), the Meet Jathedar Singh Ji, and Sant Gurdev Singh Ji of Anandpur Sahib (the current head). The congregation can obtain spiritual benefit by reading it. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. My analysis: In my humble opinion (which may be incorrect), this bir is not a master-copy of the Damdami Bir. It more closely resembles the highly-decorated birs of the Kashmiri-style that were created during the reign of the Sikh Empire in the first half of the 19th century. We can see this bir has highly illuminated and illustrated angs (folios), which took the great skill of a master artisan to make, which required resources to pay and patronize. Usually, the manuscripts during the Sikh Empire were the most elaborately decorated, as this was when the Sikhs were at a high-point, masters of the land, possessing vast amounts of resources that they could use to fund such endeavors. Therefore, whilst the story may be true and a master-copy of the Damdami Bir recension may have once been at this location, I am not convinced that this particular manuscript is it. I may be mistaken and I am open to constructive criticism. 1633648456_GurdwaraHistory.mp4
