  1. TALWANDI SABO—The Sikh congregation at Sarbat Khalsa 2016 today ex-communicated the Chief Minister of Punjab, Parkash Badal and Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal. The Punjab police have reportedly sealed all roads leading to the gathering venue, while taking state-wide Sikh activists into preventive custody. Despite strong police checks, a number of Sikh activists succeeded in sneaking past the police fences. Meanwhile, the interim Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib (appointed by Sarbat Khalsa 2015) Bhai Dhian Singh Mand and his supporting leaders were arrested by the Police. After his arrest, Jathedar Mand was transported to an unknown location. In a video message shared through Facebook’s live feature, Jathedar Mand announced the ex-communication of both Badals from the Sikh community. He called upon the Sikh masses to boycott the Badal clan completely. Blaming the Badals for shielding the culprits of the desecration incidents, Jathedar Mand said that until now, there have been 87 recorded incidents of desecration across Punjab since 2015, but not one of the culprits have been brought to justice.

  4. Waheguru ji not our servant but our master , don't worry Waheguru ji listens to all hearts He knows everything even the hidden motivations of people . Do chaupai sahib a few times extra with the normal nitnem for the extra help and protection , the bani is short but it is full of strength . Understand Guru ji to be with you always, don't let people's words make you doubt this , Guru ji is your real parent and He loves you beyond words , if we have parents in this world we have karmic bonds to this people sometimes we get bad treatment from them without known cause , sometimes this is how you may have treated them in another life so just don't hold any grudge but pray to Waheguru ji to help you to finish the cycle and to resolve the matter . You will see increasingly that parents are only human and so they make mistakes like us have good days, bad days etc so rely on Waheguru ji alone and talk to Guru ji when you want some help (take a hukhamnama and hear His advice)

  5. It is natural to have conflicts with your parents especially when you are a teenager. Its part of growing up. Sometimes parents think you are still children and try to get back at you for something that may be irritating them about you. At the bottom of their hearts they don't mean you great harm. Any ways all the sakhiya of all bhagats esp. Naamdev has taught us not to loose our confidence in prayer. Even when the pandits stopped Naamdev from praying in the temple, he never stopped. God is almighty and all powerful, our creator. It is his command that you pray to him. No one can stop you. Sincere prayers always get heard. A true person of God never prays for prayers to never be heard but rather the opposite- sarbat dha bhala.

  6. Sikhs of Old were tolerant of the tolerant and intolerant of the intolerant. These days, it seems it is in reverse: tolerant of the intolerant and intolerant of the tolerant.

  7. Good post I would add that a part of not holding a grudge is having compassion for the fools, because they know not what they do, that's why they're fools. And to pray for them to learn the errors of their ways. That's what we can do for our slanderers and those that cause or wish us harm. Also, a Bhagat doesn't Need protection. Yes the Bhagat can pray for help. But God is everyone, everything, everywhere. If we practice this psychology, who is there to get protection from for All is Him. Chaupai Sahib Ji prayers should be made with the knowledge of this. Bhagats and Gurus have sat on hot plates, been tortured and killed with this knowledge, in acceptance of shaheedi, for it was all Maharaj Ji.

  8. Keep going, don't let anyone stop or shake your faith. My whole family turned against me when I started Naam Simran and bandgi. They all tried so hard to stop me from doing it, so much so that It got to a stage where I made a choice, either I stick with Truth or I drown in their bulls*ht. Bhagat Prahlaad Jis own father tried to kill him on many occasions and each time he was unsuccessful, God eventually sent Narsingh to tear him apart. Your family is just your karam, all is karam- don't let the khel fool you and don't let anyone stop you from believing in Truth.

  9. What I find ironic is that it actually looks like a lot of modern 'Gursikhs' would actually be horrified by a lot of their ancestors and what they were like, if they had the chance to travel back in time and meet them. On the other hand simplifying our ancestor's identity as some sort of savage, freebooting, all consuming pendus is equally ridiculous. We have to see them in their geo-political and socio-cultural context and understand the norms of using freely available natural psychotropic plants of the region (I've seen how easily weed grows in Panjab!). Otherwise it will probably lead to a situation where every second Jut male *EDITED* would be using the past as an excuse to get high, and over indulge in meat (the old - khaan bukray, peen sharabaan - mentality), not to mention steal *EDITED* off one another.

  10. First of all, Wahiguru for sure will listen to your Ardaas. What makes you doubt? He has not turned deaf suddenly. Then, do not be under that braham, that, Wahiguru will listen to your uncle and turn His face away from you. If it was so, then your uncle is not at all connected to Wahiguru, rather to his own manmukhta, and neither that entity being worshiped is Wahiguru. Wahiguru can never be instigagted, for He is Dayal Purukh, an infinite Ocean of Daya Meher, and He knows nothing more than loving, forgiving and blessing, that is His True nature, fortunately for us jeevas. Hold on to Him alone, forget the world, the world wil always try to put us down. And holding on to Him, does not mean, big empty words, but just to sit in doing regularly His Bhajan Bandagee, this protocole is the way to ask/beg from Him, and also receive from Him. Sat Sree Akal.

  11. Brother Guest Lost Singh Jee, please keep in mind, if Kalyug is taking over you, it is only, because you are willingly allowing it to control you. Kayug is not something which comes surprisingly and one is not aware of it, and when one comes to know about it, it is late. It is like, someone with the eyes closed is embraced to a tree, and shouting help, help, the tree is binding me .....and then a passerby seeing the scene, tells him, o good man, open your eyes and let off your arms around the tree, it is you who is holding the tree, not otherwise... Funny, isn´t it? Maybe. But, that is our condition. I am sure if we had that love and pull towards Guru Jee, no alarm clocks are needed. When a lover is willing to see or meet his/her beloved, no watch reminder/time looking is needed, it automatically attracts us to our beloved, even before time, nobody has to remind us to go and meet our beloved one. The same is with Wahiguru. If we loved Him as much as little, as we love, or like, our worldly relations, then even that would be enough. Telling you all this, my intention is not to make you feel guilty, but rather to make you aware of, that you have a enormous potential of the wealth of love and sharda for Wahiguru within you, take it, use it, and become spiritually dhanvaant/rich. Now your esteem is low, to regain confidence, take one step at a time and move forward confidently, do not rush to change drastically the situation, because then nothing will happen. When you see kaam approaching you, face it bravely, and give it a hard punch on its face immediately, to knock out it, do not wait to be attacked, otherwise it will defeat you. You have to keep an eye on this wicked vikar, along with that, do ardaas, do bhajan bandagee regularly, keep the company of healthy noble surroundings of gursikhs, that will help you learn to walk again on the path of sikhee. Also keep in mind, you are a sikh of Sachay Patshah, (while kaam is a servant of Kaal), and as such, you have the weapon of His Naam Simran to defeat any such enemy vikaar. You just have to exercise with it regularly, then though you may not be aware, but these dusht vikaars will not attack you, for they know, if they even dare coming closer to you, they will be smashed, with that your weapon of Naam. God bless you. Sat Sree Akal.

  15. To the OP, to be a balanced soul, 9-5 work 6-7 Gym Evening meditate. Sit up on your bed at 12:30-1am. Listen to the ringing noise you hear when u relax, that's anhad naad- the primal sound. It's the sound from which we were created, Sat, Truth. Relax and let go, and enjoy- let the samadhi take you. Have no expectation of what the experience should look like or feel like. Samadhi is where we silence the mind so we can just Feel within our being. Maharaj sat sat in the Silence, in the primal void spoken about in Gurbani for many ages, it is our true origin.

  17. This thread is AWESOME. I have for a very long time been asking for an initiative to be set up for Sikhs looking for jobs. A forum that has a matrimonial section should definitely have a jobs section, that would be a great seva.

  24. Subway - Veggie Patties has eggs in it. Their sauces also got eggs in it (except Mustard and Sweet Onion). Make sure employees change into new gloves to serve you and use clean knife to cut sandwich. Usually same knife cut meat sandwich and veggie ones. So request them politely to use clean blade to cut. Same with Pizza place, tell them to use clean blade to make slices or order it as non-cut. Burger King - Veggie Patties got eggs in it. Taco Bell - Sour Cream of taco bell has gelatin, ranch sauce and Cantina veggie Burritto sauce is not vegetarian at all. Panda Express - NO Product of them is vegetarian as they use chicken broth as their main base product. Due to my work profession, i have to eat outside quite a bit and i try to avoid as much as i can but when i eat outside, i make sure that food is free from any meat products as i use my due diligence very rigorously. My best bet is that if you eat outside, make sure that you avoid all type of sauces that has some sort of cream in it. If i go to Chinese place then i usually the server/chef that bring me food just like you are going to serve a buddhist vegetarian. Eggs rolls and most of their product's broth are usually non vegetarian. I also own a fast food business and believe me that it is very hard to make pure 100% vegetarian stuff in any food joint place without any cross contamination.

  25. Sachkandh is where the Bhagats brahmgyanis Gurus Sants who practice truth reside. When a soul there stops practicing and serving Truth, they no longer vibrate at the required frequency and are sent to lower realms. The frequency you vibrate at depends on your truth practice, the less u practice, the lower your vibration. We all go to the level we belong at. On earth, our frequency and vibration determines which realm we connect with, whether it be a heaven or a hell realm. Hence you can live heaven on earth or hell on earth. In the age of Kalyug, the psychology has more or less become collective due to people's attachment to each other and BS society. The collective psychology has become hell on earth where the majority of the population live a hellish psychology. It is truly the blind leading the blind. People live in maya I.e jealousy and envy of each other, lust of each other, attachment to each other, ego and anger and selfish pride and greed. People slander backstab and fight with each other. People will act good to each other and gossip and act in maya behind closed doors. When you become a societal outcaste, shunning the expectations of society and you stop reacting in maya and start being positive and truthful, ie applying Gurbani to your life 100%, you detach from the rubbish and detach from the negativity and lift your vibration. It takes one star to light up the sky which is why Gurbani tell us to follow the Satguru. The teachings of Gurbani/ Guru are the light of this age and applying it 100% we are able to release the bonds of societal BS and live in our True state.
