Welll i am a software guy... the week starts at 9.30 Monday....11.30 am tuesday...1.30 pm rest of the weekdays ! The work inevitably runs into the night ! and i end up sleeping at 2-3-4-5-6 am generally. So i miss the amrit vela. @ " Amrit Vela sach nao...vadiayee vichaar" means a lot to me.

I am amazed at myself for posting such a query but then again i've seen such intelligent ... replies here - i thought i'd give it a shot ! anybody got a working solution ?

WJKK, WJKF: I usually visit several news websites throughout the week, and I noticed that the BBC makes their website available in 43 different languages, but not one of them is Punjabi. :T: Among the South Asian languages they do offer is Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Nepali, Sinhala, and Tamil. So naturally, this begs the question, why not in Punjabi? After all, the UK is home to nearly a million residents of Punjabi origin, you would think that they could find some folks to help them in this endeavor. Can anyone here from the UK shed some light on why this is (or anyone else for that matter?) Thank you. FYI, here is the link that shows the complete list of languag…

Gurfateh, I have been recently trying to play the NSV kirtan files on keertan.net, and I can't get them to work. I have a cable modem and tried playing them in Winamp, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc...all of which are the current versions. I also tried downloading (Save file as...), but it won't download correctly. The one time I finally got it working in Winamp, it turned off in about 5 seconds (much to my dismay). Also, the video tends to turn off and on. I would appreciate any help from those who are technologically savvy.

this article really touched me... Blessed Is The Dirt By Ek Ong Kaar Kaur Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:01 PM CET Sikhe.com Musings on Marble Floors It’s become part of my routine sadhana, now. Washing the marble floors on Sunday mornings at the Hacienda de Guru Ram Das ashram, Espanola, in the state of New Mexico, USA. The highlight of my week, I call it. The funny thing is – each time I go, there’s another lesson to learn – another message from the Guru revealed through the ordinary, the mundane. A few Sundays ago, for instance, a woman arrived at our Gurdwara at 3 am. She wore a pink top, black flare pants and a stylish pink scarf tied around her head. For anonymi…
