Are there CDs that are available for the complete katha of Sooraj Parkash granth? Please share any information on this. Thank You

There is only one Wahiguru for all. Or is there anybody else apart from Him to be loved and worshipped? If your objective is Wahiguru(I hope so), as well as He is mine for sure, and of all the sangat, then, just be sincere for once, why so much fuss and hatred, of this or that? You see, it is the ego which is between us and Him, break down that huge thick wall, and He is already there. Be positive, and do something to inspire the sangat to develope love and devotion for Wahiguru´s Lotus Feet. Do not discuss with anybody, for the sake of discussing. Do not ask others opinions on some topic and then you attack, rather open yourself, and speak out your own views and bring them forward, on how one should grow in spirituality and walk on the path of Gurmat. Be positive man, it is not that difficult at all. He, is important, all our efforts should be towards Him alone. As simple as that. Rest all is bak, bak. Sat Sree Akal.

Make yourself a weekly schedule and stick to it. Your parents are right and there is a way where you can get up for amritvela and keep doing marital arts. Go to sleep early so you get enough rest.

Sure simple healthy meals would be awesome. What is the reasoning behind simple meals? I think the wrong message is being attached to having simple meals. One good part is healthy meals, but can't other things like somasa be healthy if cooked with healthy ingredients and methods? The one daal system is and can be abused by adding many spices and much salt. Really does not help keeping it healthy or simple. The issue I think is with personalities. People need different kinds of flavors in their lives. They cannot taste the flavor from reading Gurbani. So amritdhari husband and wife find ways to increase this flavor in life. Yet they want to eat simple foods and promote simple foods at the gurdwara. They go on lavish vacations, restaurants, hotels, drive fancy cars, big house with expensive furniture etc. The weekend comes and they cannot wait to get out and have fun. Simplicity starts at home and I dont mean a house. It starts with training the mind to enjoy the company of Gurbani 24/7 and letting go of your manmukh lavishes ways. Our Guru trained us to look at lavish items and ugly or has the kids now say eewwww old as one and the same. Amritdhari women spend thousands dollars on suits and dont do seva because it will get dirty and Singhs spend thousand of dollars on dress suits not doing seva because it might get dirty. Manmukh self really comes out on weddings. All shirt and tie but no one is going to do seva. Next day same Singh in a Bana is sitting in diwan like a stone meditating. Where is the Sikhi in this foolish behavoir?

I totally agree with your observations. Traditionally, langar was quite simple and enrich full of protein and satvic in nature- for eg- dhaliya (oatmeal), dhaal, rice-sweet rice at times, roti and kheer. We should go back to root of langar maryada which- daliya(oatmeal) chaul(rice), dal(lentils without any tarka) and kheer, simple satoguni food which everyone can digest..we should avoid cooking and serving enrich rajoguni food as langar. The stuff we eat now - rajoguni enrich foods at langar especially at abroad gurdwaras is no where close to what sangat used to eat around Guru's time.Read Bhai Chaupa Singh Rehitnama along with his grandson bhai chibber singh rehitnamas talks about the diet in detail. I strongly believe whatever we eat affects our mind, too much rajas and tamas does not help with focus, makes our mind chanchal, lazy not to mention aggression and bring sheer hyper ism. Also on another note many in punjabi community have serious entitlement issues, one can clearly see how they act in langar their attitude is ungrateful, impatient show hardly any gratitude towards sevadars and overall its all like they totally take it for granted..lets not spoil them more with enrich buffet style food.

Masands were not punished for personal reasons. But Mohammad killed others for claiming what he thought was his personal right.

Fateh Jio recently i noticed that alot of people are going through depression and various other problems on Sikh Sangat... I wondered if anyone could just write positive feedback and support for Those who need help and advice.... Just a Thought Any Advice or words of wisdom will be great Fateh

Apology NOT accepted. Now go be ex-communicated and never call yourself a Sikh.
