I have a crazy idea for this forum. each active member on this forum should make it his/her responsibility to read SGGS ji everyday. Even if it is just one ang a day. basically we will track everyone's progress by what raag we are on. We can email the admin the raag we are on, and this raag can be viewed under our screen name and avatar, kind of how the number of posts is shown at the moment for each member on the forum. It would be awesome to have a whole bunch of members on this forum who have done darshan of all of SGGS ji! any thoughts, suggestions, comments? PS: of course this would be all based on an honor system :TH:

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh Khalsa Ji I long towards the path towards Gursikhi, and have been preparing myself to make the move towards becoming an Amritdhari, and be true towards the Guru, and Sikhi. However, everytime I try, things start to happen in life instantly, such as issues on the job front, issues in the personal/home life. etc etc. which really start to interfere towards my goal. I normally try to ignore these, but have been finding that such issues take over and dishearten me from achieving my goal. Dont take me wrong but it makes me think that why dont I get any help from the "ABOVE" to make my journey easier and encourage me to move qu…

Why are there soo many different religions in da world? I've heard dat all religions are equal and there's onli one god. But then if das tru, then why are there all these different religions? And if dat was true, well then you could pick any religion and follow it, cuz all religions are equal riight?..but i don't get it, cuz like i know dat christians say that jesus is the only way to heaven, but then in sikhi duznt it say dat all religions are equal..what was the purpose of god to make so many different religions if he wanted us to have faith in him and go to the same place..why didnt he jus make all of us sikh or christian or wtv :lol: @

I am a young sikh who goes to school. I'm vegetarion, and i don't cut my hair. All the kids at school ask me "Why don't you cut ur hair?" I ask them "Why do you cut urs??" they just say,"Who doesn't." I say "Well, why should I, God made me this way and i shouldn't change my appearance. I will stay the way God made me." and then they say, "Why do you wear clothes, God made you born with know clothes so why do you change your appearance and wear clothes?" At this point i have no idea what to say. What should i say to this? Another thing is when they say "You don't cut ur hair beacuse god made you the way he wanted to be, so then why do you cut your nails?" Now what do i say…

i am a bibi who has been suffering a constant emotional struggle for years. the problem is boys you know how guys are usually given the image of constantly thinking about girls and stuff well i think the same goes for many girls because i am one of them. i have never dated or done anything like that in my life but not a day has gone by without having someone on my mind. i used to think it was pathetic stuff like a simple "crush" and that i'll eventually get over it but as i grow older and get more into sikhi i feel filthy. when i attend ransbayees or simran programs and get really into the bani some guy will pop up into my mind and ill feel so guilty for thinking about t…

in my old school people used to make fun of me because i am from a lower caste than everyone else.i gotto a diffrent school now. but before i never knew what to do..i just found out about sikhsangat today so i never got to share this with anyone. my family doesnt care, they just laugh and say that we dont beleive in that stuff...but first of all, if guru gobind singh jee said that all the females will have 'kaur' as their last name and the males shud have 'singh' as theres. if everyone followed that then how are u suposed to know who's who?? how do you know who ur real family is? and if sikh are all ONE family then that just doesnt make no sense...u could be marrying ur b…

WJKK WJKF Sangat ji, I need your help. It been eight months since I have been blessed with amrit. Everything was going just great until a few months ago. For some reason my Sikhi has started to go down and I don't know why. I still do simran, go to the gurdwara daily, listen to kirtan regularly, and do my nitnem but I just can't concentrate. It's like my mind just doesn't want me to concentrate on SIkhi. Maybe my Sikhi's going down because I'm with sangat less these days because of school and work. Also, I have started to get angry very easily these days and I'm having a really hard time controlling it. I have done ardas many times but it has not gotten any better. I'…

Sikhhelpline

Does anyone know if the the sikhhelpline still exists? Someone asked me about it and then emailed, but there was no response. They then tried to phone but were put through to a mobile answering machine and they were unwilling to leave a message. Is there a best time to phone so that they can actually speak to someone? Please, if anyone knows, it would really help!

"Preserve Shastar Vidiya any way you can."(Rattan Singh Bhangu, Siri Guru Panth Parkash, ed. Dr Balwant Singh Dhillon, 36) -
It doesn't matter. What the nihangs did 100 years ago has no relevance today. Because people fight differently now. As a karate black belt, 90% of what we learn is useless, cos it revolves around how people fought 100 years ago. Today, most teenage boys likely to cause fights (at least in the uk) do boxing. But when boxing was really popular, people used to throw punches, hence why the "man to man fist fight" image was there. But now that UFC is popular, people do all sorts like grappling, knees and all (even with no training). And also, I highly doubt anyone ever attacked a nihang Singh unarmed back then, just by seeing their saroop with shastaraan. What they did do, however, was Loh Mushti but that was more of a sport than a combat system. They definitely would have trained in basic fighting like wrestling and strikes but not a system. Because any good fighter knows that trying to find a "code" to fight by is stupid. But in terms of unarmed fighting, it was rare and probably revolved around disarming an armed attacker (do NOT even attemp to learn that, you will get killed and there's no point even trying to learn). If you're interested for historical/ preservation purposed then great, but if you want to learn it for self defense or fighting tactics then pls don't, because what worked then won't work now and Nihangs were probably quite limited in hand to hand combat training cos they're armed to the teeth, deterring any unarmed attacker and killing one if they tried to fight -
