  3. Keep goin to mma class...I'm sure that when guruji had his Sikhs wrestle, some of their hair was also pulled out. You didn't do it intentionally after all. As to whether you should go to pesh, do whatever your conscience lets you. If it is clear after doing ardas, good. If not, go to pesh and then see again, and go from there

  4. Well if they sold them they would probably hold values to Sikhs really a Sikh would be interested in buying it. We should really digitise all the texts we have so something like this can't happen again.

  7. I don't think alluding to the fact that she married out of race/faith is the reason for the split. People from the same faith/race who get married end up divorcing each other for various reasons. You cannot say that ONLY marrying inside your own faith/race will lead to happiness any more than you can say that marrying outside of it will spell doom. She got married to someone, it didn't work and they sadly got a divorce. End of.

  12. He could have been like any other 'raagi' after his retirement in 1998 from the Golden Temple, where he worked for 30 years. But Bhai Gurmej Singh had a wish: Being blind, he wanted many like him to read the holy Gurbani. He was 12 years away from his dream project. Today, Bhai Gurmej Singh is proud of having transliterated Guru Granth Sahib into Braille. Talking to The Tribune, he said the Braille copy has 2,153 pages in 18 volumes. It has a page size of 11 x 12 inches. "It isn't possible to get the entire work in a single volume due to technical difficulties," he said. He has already prepared three copies of the holy book, the first of which he presented to the visually impaired children studying at Central Khalsa Orphanage in Amritsar, where he spent his childhood. He plans to prepare four more copies of the holy book, of which he would present one each to an old-age home for the blind near Phagwara, a home for blind at Anandpur Sahib and the Golden Temple. "I would keep the fifth copy for myself," he says. He also wants to present the digitised form (CD) of the book to either the Central Khalsa Orphanage or SGPC which may utilise it for facilitating its printed copies. A printed copy can cost anywhere between Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000. But before that, he wants to ensure it's error-free. "Getting the first copy in Braille was very difficult as we had a tough time zeroing in on a printing facility before finally reaching the Helen Keller Institute for Deaf and Deaf-Blind in Mumbai. The institute offered its help on a "no-profit-no-loss basis." It took him almost two-and-a-half years to get the first copy. "I received volumes of the holy book for proof reading from Mumbai one by one. It consumed a lot of time. Moreover, those involved in the printing work could not decipher corrections made by me. Later, my nephew Jagjit Singh came to my rescue. He joined a Sikh institution in Ropar to learn Gurmukhi especially to help me out. We both then went to Mumbai where we finished proof reading during our stay," he said. Holy effort Bhai Gurmej Singh spent around 12 years to prepare the holy book's Braille version The version has 2,153 pages in 18 volumes He has already prepared three copies of the holy book and plans five copies He has Sukhmani Sahib and other holy scriptures printed in Braille

  13. Great post. With the knowledge and application of gurbani, not just the ritual reading of it, we become gurbani- and such rituals and superstitions mean nothing for we are beyond them- When we Truly Accept God of No Image or Form as Truth- we are beyond all of the Bullshite. He remains the lowest of the low, hence, accepting Truth 100% and living in his glory means living beyond all of the egotistical rituals and maya principles the world lives by... Only once begins to lower their head completely and live in the most humble Truth of Nothingness(for we are and God is Nothing- no image, no form, no Nothing)- does one begin to live in acceptance of Hukam(True Love).

  15. Incidents from Sant Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale's Life IV Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Two Brigadiers The days of Blue Star were approaching and people with various views often met Sant jee on the roof of the Langar Building. While I was standing there, two retired Sikh Brigadiers came and said "We wish to speak with you privately". Sant jee said "There is no shyness here, please speak" The Brigadiers said "We have seen and evaluated all the outposts and defences around Harmandar Sahib and we feel that there is a weakness in the fact that the Singhs don't have binoculars. There is a need for at least two binoculars (per outpost)" Sant jee said to Bhai Amreek Singh, who was standing nearby "Come and listen to these people". The Brigadier then said "To understand your full power, if you could tell us how many weapons you have exactly, it would be good" Putting his hands on the mid-sized Brigadier's shoulders, Sant jee said "General Sahib, You've commanded very large armies. I'm a stupid Jat. What do I know about these things? You should read GurbaaNee. Doing that gives power." Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh ikonkaar.blogspot.com

  16. History ABOUT DAMDAMI TAKSAL The tenth King Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji was at Sri Anandpur Sahib delivering His Sikhs to Sachkhand. A Gursikh who would complete his daily prayer of the Panj Granthi (a collection of prayers from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji) with love and respect made a mistake. The Gursikh was made to realise that Gurbani is an ang (limb) of Guru Ji, and making a mistake while reciting Gurbani is like hurting Guru Ji. Following this Pyare Bhai Daya Singh, along with other respected Gursikhs requested the following to Guru Ji. "Oh keeper of the poor! Bless us with the understanding of Gurbani. Without an understanding we don't whether what we do is correct or incorrect." Satguru Ji would never return the request of a Gursikh. After all the battles where He sacrificed all His family. Upon leaving Muktsar Sahib and arriving at Sabo ki Talwandi. Guru Ji gave the following command to his Gursikhs. "Go to Dhir Mal (he was the elder brother of Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji and grandson to Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji) who is at Kartarpur Sahib. The fifth King Sri Guru Arjan Dev Sahib Ji who has compiled the Aad Granth has left room for the inclusion of the ninth Kings Bani. I will do that and bless you with the understanding of Gurbani." Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji along with 24 other Singhs were turned away by Dhir Mal with the following message. "If your Guru is the same roop (form) as the first and fifth Kings, then why doesn't he fashion Gurbani from memory?" Guru Ji answered this taunt of Dhir Mal in the following way. The true King Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave a great honour to Guru ki Kanshi, Takhat Sri Damdama Sahib, Sabo ki Talwandi. Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh was the scribe as Guru Sahib Ji compiled Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji from his sacred tongue. There were such great blessings that Jap(u) Ji Sahib, Rehraas Sahib and Kirtan Sohila were written on the first morning. On that evening the Gursikh Sangat listened to the meanings of the completed Gurbani. The understanding of the Gurbani that was written at amrit vela (ambrosial hours of the morning) would be explained in the evening to the 48 Singhs and the rest of the Gursikh Sangat. Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji with firm faith would complete the seva of providing the paper, pens and ink. In this way within 9 months and 9 days, on the full moon of Katak, Samat 1762, till until 1763 Bikrami 23 Savan, the understanding of Gurbani was taught. With the inclusion of the ninth Kings Bani, from Ik Oa(n)kaar to At(h)arah Das Bees, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was completed. A great benevolence was done to the world. After seeing and listening to this limitless, powerful knowledge, the Gursikh Sangat as well the atheists were astonished. By listening to Guru Sahib Ji, the Gursikh Sangat were given the opportunity to rectify their lives. The 48 Singhs gained Brahm Gianta (the knowledge of God) and were liberated while living. The Singhs reached such spiritual states that they lost all care of the world. Seeing this Satguru Ji ordered Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Ji not to lose care, but to continue in selfless service teaching others what he had learnt. Guru Ji said that he would not forget a thing even if he were to get cut piece by piece. Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji was also given this command and was told that he wouldn't forget a thing even if his head were separated from his body. Both Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Ji and Baba Deep Singh Ji stayed with Guru Sahib Ji (when They went to Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazoor Sahib) teaching the understanding of Gurbani to other Gursikhs. Just before Guru Ji ascended to Sachkhand He sent Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh JI to Sri Darbar Sahib Amritsar, and Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji to Takhat Sri Damdama Sahib to continue teaching the understanding of Gurbani. Damdami Taksal has been operating under the leadership of Brahm Gianis until now, and will forever more. Names of the 48 Singhs: Bhai Mani Singh Ji Giani Kaan Singh Ji Giani Binod Singh Ji Giani Gurbaksh Sinshad Baba Deep Singh Ji (Damdami Taksal’s 2nd Jathedar) Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Ji Giani Dan Singh Ji Bhai Param Singh Ji Bhai Dharam Singh Ji Bhai Shameer Singh Ji Bhai Daya Singh Ji Bhai Bhevan Singh Ji Bhai Piara Singh Ji Bhai Bir Singh Ji Bhai Dheer Singh Ji Bhai Sundar Singh Ji Bhai Amar Singh Ji Bhai Tara Singh Ji Bhai Jagjeevan Singh Ji Bhai Gopal Singh Ji Bhai Dhian Singh Ji Bhai Binshvar Singh Ji Bhai Hargopal Singh Ji Bhai Dhanna Singh Ji Kaviraj Bhai Nand Singh Ji Bhai Mani Singh Ji Bhai Rai Singh Ji Bhai Makhan Singh Ji Bhai Madan Singh Ji Bhai Dharam Singh Ji Bhai Sujan Singh Ji Bhai Jeevan Singh Ji Bhai Akal Singh Ji Bhai Pritpal Singh Ji Bhai Dyal Singh Ji Bhai Bakhtavar Singh Ji Sodhi Bhai Deva Singh Ji Bhai Meva Singh Ji Bhai Dhian Singh Ji Bhai Achal Singh Ji Bhai Jai Singh Ji Bhai Bishan Singh Ji Bhai Bhag Singh Ji Bhai Vasava Singh Ji Bhai Ghanea Singh Ji Bhai Ram Singh Ji Bhai Trilok Singh Ji Bhai Maliagar Singh Ji

  17. The Damdami Taksal is the travelling Sikh university, which was founded by our Father Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee to impart knowledge of Gurmat onto Sikhs. It has had an unbroken lineage of Jathedars who have led the Taksal throughout Sikh history. The first and foremost function of the Taksal is to educate Sikhs, to teach them the correct pronounciations of Gurbani, to do Katha and Kirtan. This is done by getting students to undergo rigorous studies, meditations and seva, thus a wholesome Sikh lifestyle is developed and maintained. The Taksal has always been a key strategic player in the activities of the Sikh Nation, with Baba Deep Singh & Baba Gurbaksh Singh (respectively 1st & 2nd Jathedars) both being martyred defending the sanctity of Sri Harimander Sahib, Amritsar, they were both beheaded yet still fought on until the Mughals had to run in fear. The sixth Jatheder, Giani Bhai Sant Singh was the Head Granthi of Sri Harimander Sahib and a close aid of Maharajah Ranjit Singh. The famous Sikh Historian Bhai Santokh Singh (author of Suraj Parkash) was also a student of the Giani Bhai Sant Singh Jee. During the British Raj Sant Sundar Singh played a considerable role in the Gurdwara Reform Movement, by participating in the peaceful demonstrations. Sant Gurbachan Singh did the complete katha of Sri Guru Granth Sahib many times and today we find that a lot of his students are Granthis at Sri Harimander Sahib and many of them held positions of esteem and were Jathedars of the Takhats. Sant Kartar Singh started the movement against the anti-Sikh Nirankari Movement and the whole Sikh world knows of what Sant Jarnail Singh did in the early 80’s.
