  1. brothers, if armpits feels unable to ask this question in person, maybe his suggestion to have someone from dalpanth record Baba Ji's veechar on this and distribute it to sangat, if only to put across the side of dalpanth, who's credibillity has taken a downturn, over 84 and such, is not such a bad idea? Maybe this could be part of a reconcilation between sides and help us to grow together more to make the Panth stronger?

  2. 1 Million Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Jaaps Current Total ✿✿✿✿ 1,005,938 ✿✿✿✿ Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Pyaare Guru Roop Sangat Jeo, With Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jeo Maharajs infinite blessings, Guru pyaari Sangat Ji has been able to complete the task set by Maharaj! :happy: We started marching towards His lotus feet with the hope that He will get his task done by Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj's Parkaash Diwas, it looked like a big task at the time but His kirpa is so beant that rather than marching, we actually started running towards Him instead :happy: :L: This reminds me of Bhai Gurdas Ji's Famous Vaar: Charan saran Gur ek painda jaaeh chal, Satgur kot paindaa aageh hoeh layt hai If you take one step towards the Guru, The Guru will take millions of steps to welcome you. I'm really sorry Guru Roop Sangat Jeo am horrible at making speeches , please forgive me for that. I just pray that Maharaj blesses us with the dust of the feet of everyone who has contributed towards this beautiful karaj so that moorakhs like myself can also start moving forward :happy: Guru Roop Sangat Jeo, this moorakh will add the jaaps you have done, it would be nice if you can also suggest what we should be doing next? :happy: ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮਾ ਮੈ ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥ O my Beloved, I have no one except You. ਮੈ ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਭਾਵਈ ਤੂੰ ਭਾਵਹਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Without You, nothing else pleases me. Loving You, I am at peace. ||1||Pause|| Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi tuhi!!! Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Guru Roop Sangat Jeo, Veerji had suggested that we all do 1 million Sri Mool Mantar Sahib jaaps for the Chardi Kalaa of the Panth and Sarbat Da Bhalaa. So please lets get together as one and contribute as much as we can towards this beautiful cause!! The post is in GUPT section as you can see, this is to provide anonymity to those who wish to remain gupt when performing the seva. This is how it is going to work: Just do as many Sri Mool Mantar Sahib jaaps as you can, then come and create a simple post in this thread specifying the amount (kamai) you have done. Dass and/or other sewadars will add up the jaaps , and post the total here so we all know how the progress is going. You dont need to worry about the old posts, sewadars will count and deal with old posts as required. That's it, its as simple as that! Please, let's just spare at least a few minutes everyday towards this cause, it is hoped everyone will actively participate in this effort!! 1, 2 , 108, it doesnt matter! :D Sri Guruji knows it all!! Oh, and this thread is going to be a sticky, so you dont need to worry about locating it ever! :happy: Gurfateh! PS: Benti - If posting jaaps as 'gupt', just post ONCE, don't worry if your post does not appear immediately as any guest posts have to be approved before they can be allowed.. Anyway, rest assured your post WILL be counted, so please just HIT ONCE . And if your post is deleted by any chance, you can be sure that your kamai has been counted and added! PS: Some members have been asking of ways to count the jaaps. Well, there are obviously many ways, but i thought i list some of the more common ones, plus a few cool tips for the gadget freaks too Dont start throwing bricks at me for telling the obvious, some of us might actually find it useful! Ok, here we go: 1. Maala: Common sizes are 108 beads, 54 beads and 27 beads. Sikhs dont believe in rudrakhsh or tulsi maalas. Material of maala is irrelevant, what matters is the love for God. It could be anything, Sarabloh, wood, plastic, wool etc. 2. Tally Counter: You can buy these from poundland, or from any stationary/toy store. Really cheap, and discreet! Keep it in your pocket and do gupt jaap! 3. Fingers: Use your fingers if you are in the public or dont have any mala around. 1 cycle is usually of 12 jaaps, if you repeat that 9 times, it complete 1 full mala of 108 jaaps. Easy! Waheguru! :happy: 4. Pencil and paper: I used to find it effective during lectures Do 4 vertical and 1 diagonal line crossing them 4, thats 5 jaaps per set! do as many as you want! 5. Mobile phones: This is one of my favs! Almost every phone has the ability to add additional software to it. Since we keep our mobile phone on us almost all the time, it means we have got a mala with us all the time too! :happy: Those of us with iphones, android, symbian etc. phones can search for 'mala' or 'rosary' in the app market. Here are some cool ones: For iphone: iMala: For Android Users: CountIT: Symbian users can look for similar apps in the OVI store, im sure you will find something! So there we have it! Of course, there are millions other ways to count, find whichever method you are most comfortable with. The only point of all this is to increase our capacity to recite naam/mool mantar more and more, till the time we reach that 'rom rom har dhiaveh' avastha, we wont be needing any of these crutches then. But till then, we have to hold the stick to learn how to walk, right?

  3. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh One time Sant Gyani Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Bhindranwale and the jatha travelled to Gurusar Gurudwara Sahib in Maddoke. At this Gurudwara Sahib Sant Ji was very pleased with the new Niwas Asthan that was built for Guru Sahib. He told Gyani Veer Singh Ji, “This is very good that Guru Sahib’s Niwas Asthan has been made so beautifully. Now you should continue to build upon the existing structure of the Gurudwara Sahib.” “I am only one person and can only do little jobs. Moreover when maya runs out then the work comes to a stop. You are a great Sikh of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj, you should start this very big seva”, Gyani Veer Singh Ji replied. Sant Ji looked at Gyani Veer Singh Ji and said, “This Gurudwara Sahib belongs to Miri Piri Malik, Satguru Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji. If you just start the seva Guru Sahib himself will take care of the rest.” Guru Sahib did his kirpa and today there is a very beautiful Gurudwara Sahib situated over there. Akho Satnam Sri Waheguru Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji Maharaj. Very loose translation from Giani Pritam Singh Ji’s book Gian Kirnan Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

  4. wjkk wjkf I have just come across this thread. My neice went to the camp and she told me that it was a " Punjabi Camp " rather than a " Gurmat Camp ". The majority of group leaders were non-Amritdharis who didn't seem to inspire any of the campers to take Amrit and follow Guru Ji's Rahit. My neice told me that there is one Gursikh young bibi )which I assume is the same Gursikh Bibi mentioned in the initial post who was refused to make food in the kitchen and was also refused to have anyone bring her food from outside of the camp) The Bibi went to sleep hungry for the first day and the rest of the week she ate pasta brought to her by Bhai Navreet Singh from a local Gursikh's house on Tuesday and ate it for the whole week. She had to keep the pasta in room instead of keeping it in the kitchen fridge because of the intolerance and lack of respect shown by the organisers and kitchen sewadars. Although I'm not Amritdhari it makes me feel sick and disgusted that someone can treat another human being like this. If someone is following a Rahit that they wish to eat from Amritdharis or cook their own food then why should they be all food and made to starve and eat in secrecy? Where is the piaar and tolerance? The comments about Taksalis and AKJs not being allowed in the camp and sewadars being cancelled last minute because they keep Rahit which makes the organisers feel insecure about themselves is clear discrimination which people like the BNP would do! I wouldn't expect this BNP type of thinking to be found in people organising a " Gurmat Camp ". My neice also told me that Bhai Navreet Singh did a really good talk on Monday and Tuesday but apparently he had also been asked not to come to the camp last minute because he keeps Sarbloh Rahit but he still came. My neice was very inspired and gave up eating meat hearing Bhai Sahib's talk. Sadly one of the organiser uncles, Bahadur Singh, kept emphasising throughout the whole camp and discussions that Sikhs can eat anything they want as long as it is not Halaal. It seems that the camp would prefer camps to eat Mc Donalds and Burger King than allow people who keep some discipline in what they eat to attend the camp or do sewa. I hope something can be done about this camp as it sends a wrong impression to campers. Really upset and disappointed.

  45. this shabad is on ang 477 og guru sahib ji, in Faridkot wala teeka this shabad is explained on page 1526 of PDF FILE , kABEER SAHIB JI normally explains many complex issues with metaphors and satires , this shabad is fine example , the Feel (elephant ) is our ego, balas (the bull) our laziness and the crow is our pseudo intellect .the donkey is our Kaami man which gets transformed into proper person after wearing cholas of shame, and kakareas are our worldly wikaars which are turned into bareys (pakoras ) of Bhaktee by the grace of god( raja Ram) suggested full readings from teeka

  49. vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh :umm: sums up exactly how I felt when reading this Shabad too. Bhagat Kabeer Ji may be describing the effect of worshipping Akaal Purakh. So the animals/images would be metaphors for the way things change when Guru Ji's Grace has been realised, and the way a person changes when they become a true Gurmukh. Our minds are like the elephant (drunk with ego/lust), the oxen (who always needs beaten to get it to move), the crow (who thinks of himself as very clever). But after becoming devoted to Guru Ji, the mind develops pure love. (The donkey was stubborn and stupid but the mind no longer is, instead it dances to the tune of God's love. Even the great water buffalo now attaches its mind to Guru Saheb.) Everything has given up its desire/ego/lust/cleverness. raajaa raam kakareeaa barae pakaaeae, kinai boojhanehaarai khaaeae|| Guru Ji has blessed us with this divine knowledge. The King of creation has cooked the barae (cakes) but the world mistakes it for poison/bitterness (kakareeaa). Only those spiritually awakened souls eat it and find the taste sweet - only the fortunate Gurmukhs utilise this knowledge and revel in it. The mind has given up kingliness and aggression (the lion instead prepares the betel nuts) and the rat abandons its greediness. The turtle/tortoise abandons its fear of the outside world and instead of hiding in its shell blows the horn with confidence. The mouse similarly sings God's praises to the world. The mind is set free from its entanglements and is liberated through Guru Ji's blessing. I don't know how accurate the translations are with regards to the next two lines (bans ko pooth beeaahan..) as there doesn't seem to be any mention of sterility? Someone please correct me if there is. The woman Bhagat Ji talks of could be Maya's son, who abandons his dual-mindedness and sin, instead marrying a pure daughter/virgin. The whole world blesses this union. Bhagat Ji says that even the tiny ant has managed to conquer the mountain. It has overcome its ignorance and instead has adopted humility and true knowledge. (Mahan Kosh says that angaar here doesn't mean ember, but instead means atamgyaan.) Basically the Gurmukh who has instilled patience and virtue into his heart now encourages others who are searching for truth to do the same ,and as a result spreads the light of Guru Ji's knowledge. No doubt someone who actually knows what they are talking about will now come and give a completely different angle on this intruiging Shabad : ) vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh
