  1. It is using the allegorical story (or at least part of) of how vishnu created the world. Using that same analogy, it is talking about the ear wax, madhu and kaitab. These two would go on to be the gate keepers of vaikhunth as Jai and Vijay. Then, after getting cursed by the 4 child rishis, they become the rakshas Harnakash and Hirinykashap, Raavan and Kumbhkaran, Dantvakar and Shishupal. Vishnu takes form each time to kill them (Varaahaa and Narsingha, Sri Raam, Sri Krishan), after which they return to their celestial abode. Now, these are not to be taken literally as such. Understand that, at lot of these Puranic stories were kept under lock and key by the pandits. So Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj translated these in his own way for everyone to read.??

  2. So, I was reading this book called Life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and His Teachings by Dalip Singh. In it he tells how in chapter 2 of Bachitar Natak Guru Ji tells how the world was created. It says "When the formless God effected the expansion of the universe by uttering a word, (Oankar) He created the Earth. At the onset He created the matter of the five elements (Maya), from it a most beautiful and powerful king named Kalsain (Vishnu) emerged. The second king produced was Kalkait (Brahma) and the third Koorrbaras (Shiva). The fourth was Kaldhuj (Mahavishnu), from Whom the whole creation emerged. God has thousands of beautiful eyes and thousands of lovely feet. He has enthroned Himself on the bed cushion pf multi-headed Hydra Serpent and He is remembered by the people, the One seated on the coiled body of Hydra Serpent. God extracted wax from one of His ears, from which Madh and Kitab were produced. He then extracted wax from the other ear, from which this universe was created. He then cursed Madh and Kitab to be killed. Their body fluids were thrown into the ocean. The gluey and oily matter of their body fluids began to float on the surface of water and from thence onward the creation was named after Madh. Those who perform good deeds in this universe are remembered as godly persons, while the evil doers are called demons." It is very interesting to see what Guru Ji wrote. After this Dalip Singh Ji said "Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in this myth first gives ideas of Guru Nanak as Given in Japji, that the Universe was brought into existence by utterance of One Word by God. In this way God created the Three Gods of Hindu Trinity, Brhama, Vishnu, Shiva, signifying creation of Matter (Maya) of three modes, from which the whole universe was created. God is further stated to be resting on the coils of the body of Hydra Serpent. This myth is the modification of the Puranic Myth of Creation." Thoughts

  3. There's more technical stuff behind the scene than we think ? For handover I think best option is selecting a young person who Admins know in real life (family/friends, or someone from your gurdwara). Then you can sit down together, show them how it all works and handover admin tasks while keeping control

  4. It's stated as autobiographical, though, isn't it? Could it be a bit of both depending on context and the relevant semantics used?

  5. I also this is an important distinction to make as well. Would Bachitar natak fall in the first or second category though

  6. For some reason the Sikh masses aren't enthusiastically informed of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's immense passion for literature and the creative arts in general. There's a clear delineation to be made between two distinct categories of their authored works: 1) Their divinely-inspired / spiritual / metaphysical writings that we take as Gurbani, and 2) Their translations of existing literature (including ancient Hindu texts) they were personally fond of, or works they simply wanted to present to the public in another language for posterity. To say that Guru Ji WROTE something implies they were the original AUTHOR of it, and therefore they ENDORSE everything contained within that text. In my opinion, this assertion is INCORRECT and MISLEADING. Some of the greatest intellectual minds in history have translated earlier texts in ancient or obscure languages into the current-day language of the era and location of the translator. That, in itself, is an art of sorts. It takes intelligence, passion, and understanding of the original material. Guru Ji translating an ancient Hindu text DOESN'T automatically mean they OKAY-ED everything within that text. Did you know Guru Gobind Singh Ji authored/translated a version of Waris Shah's Heer-Ranjha? Although they never made any attempt to claim ownership of the original legend, they made a slight modification to the origins of Heer and her eponymous lover by stating that the aforementioned lovers were members of Indra's heavenly court who were ultimately banished to Earth (incarnating in their respective human forms) for falling in love and getting up to all sorts while in Indra's "employ." Guru Ji translated this particular text with a minor addendum. Guru Ji did NOT conceive of Heer-Ranjha.

  13. As GurjantGnostic mentioned, you have to go directly to the source, the fountain of bliss that is ever flowing, Naam. Just start with a simple mindful practice of 10-15 minutes daily. Cut off distractions, focus your mind, and ask for His Divine Grace of Naam. Chant Satnam. Chant Waheguru. Listen. Feel. If you've tried other paths before coming to Sikhi, it sort of is a blessing in disguise since you can clearly see where the grass is green. The abrahamic faiths are in survival mode, academically. People display confidence in their racial/cultural accomplishments; don't mistake this for religious pride. Abrahamics are having to reinvent themselves, hide their truths constantly to survive modernity.

  18. Sangat Ji I haven't been able to leave this forum as I have a addiction to this forum so I come here to make my final post for atleast a couple of month. I leave as this forum is becoming a distraction. Instead of reading path I scroll through this forum. Thank You Because of the Sangat I realized the true Sikhi and because of this forum I learned so much but I must put my hat down. I am planning on going on a spiritual journey and I want to spend my life in Naam Simrin so I just want to say Thank you and Goodbye. May Vahguru bless us all and save us from Maya. Vahguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vahguru Ji Ki Fateh I am truly thankful for all the sangat has done for me and for many others but I must leave.

  19. Thank you bro. It's not even an analogy per se because all those arts that are Do and all those that are Tao are literally Dharam. So all asian arts, so basically all martial arts, minus western sport and recreations of european sword styles. That's what upsets me so much. The prostitution of Dharam. Followed by the prostituition of Martial. Followed by the damage it does to people's concept of self defense and reality and emotional welness.

  21. Here's an example. Somebody makes a Ridh Sidh cage. To test the various Dharams Ridh and Sidh. It then makes a lot of rules that favor certain Dharams Ridh and Sidh. So a bunch of Dharams for agrandizement and approval start changing everything they do to suit the Ridh Sidh game and according to it's current rules. So now 80 percent of the major Dharams shed much of their original whole forms and only focus on crunching the numbers to win the Ridh Sidh game. So everybody casts aside the true purpose of Dharam, and the wholistic systems they provided and everybody who watches the Ridh Sidh games is suddenly a Sidha expert. And everybody starts trying to combine Dharams to get the best Rid Sidh game points and most Kaam and the most Haumai and Maya. And the Dharams that don't play that idiocy? Well they're laughed at. No rid sid game points there. It's not real. And we all know if you have something real you don't prostitute it for Kaam filled bloodsport Haumai. You don't use it for games. You don't do miracles on command and you know what the purpose of all the Dharams were even if they all forgot.

  22. I was reading a bit of Bachitar Natak and it says that the trinity thought they were Supreme so Guru Ji (Guru Ji is speakingas God) created 8 Sakshis in order to give evidence for their entity It failed and people countined rituals so Guru Ji/Vahgurh created Sidhs but they worshiped Devtas. Then many Rishis were created who all sang parise of themselves. Then I created Dutt by they did not know the way of the Lord. Then I created Gorakh who made great kings disciples. His disciples wore rings in their ear and forgot the Lord. Guru Ji lists many more people then he say I created Mohammed who was made the master of Arabia. He started a religion and circumcised all the kings. He caused all to utter his name not the name of the Lord. Everyone was parying to others not the Supreme Brhaman(Vahguru) When I was busy in Meditation the Lord called me and snet me to the Earth with following words. I have adopted you as my son and hath created you for the propagation of the panth. You go therefore for the spread of Dharam and cause people to retrace their steps for evil action. I stood up with folded hands boeing my head said The panth sahll prevail only in the world with your assistance. Whatever the lord has told me I have wrriten the same This from Bachitar Natak is so interesting and deep. Thoughts

  23. I agree but it would take a learned mind to recognize the differences between translated works and original works, and to determine what is approved by Guru Sahib and what is not.

  27. Only a few things they do work for other people. Like Kibutz and compulsory military service. You can't model success for opressed people on the jews. They're imperial zionists with the same money and backing as the rest of the IMP erials, and a green light to do whatever they want with massive and high tech military weapons they were given. Unless you think the un is going to hand you somebody elses country, back the lie you were ever from there, and give you trillions in aid and weapons you can't use the israeli model.

  29. Be careful never to unknowingly succumb to the Abrahamic narrative. Their "God" and Satan dichotomy is irrelevant to us. As far as they're concerned we're destined for Hell until we take Jesus as our Saviour / repeat the Islamic shehzada, etc. Let these desert religion fools tear each other apart with their fables. They're nothing to us.

  31. Before doing bad we think twice; • ‘I could be expelled from school’ • ‘I could be sacked from work’ • ‘I could go to prison’ • ‘I could be punished in hell’ • ‘I could be placed on quality control by admins’ ? Naam contains nothing but happiness, so we do we think twice to meditate on naam? ? Isn’t it a no brainier that simro simar simar sukh pavo? ?

  32. The crash will only come when it is useful. The markets do not follow 'logic'..they are manipulated (just look at what gamestop revealed about market manipulation). The markets and their movements are controlled by a few firms and individuals. When the decide the market needs to pop, you'll be the last to know. It's a rigged system.
