  3. Sant Naranjan Singh jee ex Shromani Kathakar has written a few books. So far I have read Ardaas kalaa and Jeevan Jugat, both of these are available in English and Gurmukhi too. And if like me, you’ve experienced blows to your faith or slowly started falling in your gursikhi Jeevan, these books are guaranteed to restore your sikhi! Out of all the books I have read, nothing comes close to Sant Naranjan Singh jee, and on top of that, each statement is backed up by Gurbaanee ??

  5. Wash sarbloh normally w kosa pani and fairy liquid and scrub until the rust is gone and he Sarbloh gets that shiny silvery look. Then dry them properly with a towel or kitchen roll. If they still rust or need storing for a longer period of time then rub a little bit of oil into the Sarbloh with a tissue ??

  6. If you haven't learnt the vidhiya of saas giraas already it is highly recommended you go to an Amrith Sanchaar and learn (AKJ happen to be the only ones who keep this maryada alive) Secondly, it would be wise to remove this post and pose the question directly to Guroo sahib and take a hukam, once others find out about your spiritual advances it will stop your progression altogether, and it will take a very high amount of bhagthee to break past this boundary again. Thirdly, if the only thing you can feel is the sound of simran, then this is an extremely good sign. Don't be scared and have bharosaa in mahraaj. Guroo sahib says dhun meh dhyaan, dhyaan meh jaaniaa!

  7. Ask yourself one question when posting to this forum: if you needed to do peshi in front of the panj pyaareh tomorrow would you rather do in front of; a) 5 jyot vigaasi, naam rassiye Singhneea b) 5 Singh's who have no discipline, just about do nitnem, care more about worldly happenings than looking after their own bhagthee. ?

  9. Democracy is a system proven to fail. Guroo Gobind Singh jee has already given us the perfect method to manage a society and that is through the system of panj rehatvaan gursikhs to be our form of government.

  10. Nothing wrong with listening jeeo; however make sure your surthee is focused on the nitnem and not something else Bhai sahib. If it becomes background noise then maybe you should re-evaluate the reasons why you're doing nitnem ??

  11. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂਜੀਕਾਖਾਲਸਾਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂਜੀਕੀਫਤਹਿ Ardaas! Do Ardaas to mahraaj and explain how the last few months have proven that we're nothing without Guroo jees support; Ardaasan are your personal conversation time with Guroo sahib and take a hukamnama to see their response. Ask for a strong amrithvelaa and nitnem routine again and again and set alarms to help you wake up and sleep on time; one thing that helps many students is sleeping between 10 and 11 waking up early, around 1-half past 1 in the morning and going back to sleep around 4 and then waking up again at around 7:30 as you get around 7-8 hours sleep just in two separate naps, and you can nap in the evening if required aswell Attend Sangath regularly and attend keertan Darbars and listen to katha whenever you have time. Bhai Sukha Singh jee UK is highly recommended as his katha is easy to understand and become absorbed in, both in English and Panjabi

  12. From the age of around 11 please teach your children to learn rehraas sahib kantt! The baanee is very simply written and easy to remember especially for a young mind other baaneea involve chaupai sahib, 6 pauree Anand sahib, Basant Kee Vaar key shabads are also good to teach naujawan alongside the meanings e.g. Jo tho prem khelan kaa chaao ... theraa keeaa meetaa laagae ... deh naam santokheeaa ... prabh pass Jan kee ardaas ... sajjan sachaa paatshaah ...

  13. Maaf karo jee, I don't care so much for respect as when I see something I say it regardless of who I may offend etc; personally speaking I have realised in my time that sikhs in general have become soft and butt hurt over small small matters rather than the brave, wise, Guroo's faujan that our forefathers were. Most Sikhs, daas especially, don't deserve respect due to not even being able to follow the hukams that Guroo sahib has given us and the lack of pyaar for our own Guroo jee You could also flip the script with this point jeeo; if you look at it from another angle. Guroo Naanak Dev Jee bought Baba Sri Chand into this world, who proved himself to be far from a gursikh. Does that mean we should have done matha Tekh to him? Because he was Guroo Sahib's own blood and flesh? The true Sikh realises that there is no difference whatsoever between Gurmukh, Guroo and Akaal Purakh. The Gurmukh may have all of the power and shakti of Akaal purakh, yet they choose to remain inside of guroos hukam. This was the reason for Guroo Arjan Dev jee and Guroo Tegh Bahadur jee bearing all of the pain of their own shaheedian, rather than using karaamaat to save themselves! An Amrith Sanchaar shouldn't be planned to finish at a certain time jee; if you have a set time to finish, then you run the risk of having to rush, which may result in parts of explaining rehat maryada missed out etc. An Amrith Sanchaar is still one of every Sikhs 4 Sanskaars, so why would you bother rushing? Kes keski is more a matter of opinion jee as there is plenty of evidence supporting both, the more the better right? however I do believe that a wearing a dastaar, in public at the very least, should be mandatory for all of us, especially as it's the main part of Sikhi Saroop! Naanak Amrith ek hai dhoojaa Amrith naahi; although Amrith is the same, whether it is made by panj pyaareh doing nitnem baaneea, or forming in the Dasam duaar, or trickling down your throat into the bata of rehat that sits inside of us. However, when physically making Amrith, there is maryada that Guroo sahib has put in place for us to follow; why would Guroo sahib bother making a maryada on how Amrith should have been made if in 2017 we decide not to follow any of it??? There is one way to receive naam in gurmat; and that is for Guroo sahib to show you; hanjee Guroo sahib takes many forms; so Guroo Gobind Singh Jee may give darshan and teach naam jugthee, or Guroo sahib takes form in 5 Gurmukhs (all 5 not 1 or 2 jee) etc "Badal's Maryada" still prohibits 4 bujjar kurehat aswell jee; just because something is in another maryada doesn't make it wrong automatically. Try asking Guroo sahib directly, do Ardaas asking if panj pyaareh may only be made up of Singh's; there's your answer in the hukam! Bibiyan have administered Amrith before and there have been many cases in which the abhilakhees in such Amrith Sanchaars have grown up to be beloved Gurmukhs!

  14. Their resources are very good though. We could learn a thing or two. They print things in all languages so anyone can read it, we should do that. There are many people out there who want to learn about SIkhi but can't because resources are so bad. I've read it. Nothing bad about it. I think Guru Gobind Singh encouraged Sikhs to learn about other faiths and study their texts to gain knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong).

  15. VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH "Punj singhs can only do benti to Guru Sahib( as happened during Chamkaur jung when punj singhs did benti to Guru Sahib to leave the fort." Guru Gobind Singh was commanded by the Punj Pyare to leave Chamkaur Sahib because the benti was refused. Furthermore, when Guru Sahib tested the Punj Pyare concept when he lowered his arrow towards a grave site in respect and was conferred a tankha by the Punj Pyare. So the Punj Pyare had the full authority to command Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The fifth Takhat is Takhat Damdama Sahib per the Panth. If anyone has a problem with it, take it up with the Akal Takhat Sahib and Takhat Damdama Sahib. Jathedars of the 5 Takhats do not have the name of the Buddha Dal Jathedar in that list. Damdami Taksal is an institution started by Guru Sahib by historical accounts. It's a school, which teaches Gurbani Kirtan, Paath, Santhiya. Please provide a statement or historical account (reference) that delineates Damdami Taksal as the police of the Sikh Panth. The only "policing" authority is the Punj Pyare or Sarbat Khalsa. Buddha Dal was the dal which incorporated aging Nihungs, which were to provide direction to the Tarna Dal and take the seva of looking after Sikh Gurdwarae. Tarna Dal were the younger Nihungs who were active in combat.

  16. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Sorry to deviate this thread but just picking up on a point made by Harinder Singh. Why was Baba Banda Singh Ji Bahadhur made commander in chief of the Khalsa armies if Bhai Binod Singh Ji was the jathedhar of the Budha Dal and therefore the ‘Dal Panth’? Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

  17. maybe you should? so when a muslim for instance approaches you with regards to Sikhi, and reads qoutes from Maharaj to to blow you out, and firstly you dont know what he sayin (if you dont understand bani obvioulsy) and then 2, how would you counter argue with no knowledge of Islam? Im pretty sure nihangs have read the Quran to bro, and you do want to be nihang so might we worth givin it a glimpse. mite learn something.
