Very true! But then again, we do need to look after what Vaheguru has given us (not that im justifying using hemp lol). Saying that, Bhagat Farid Ji didn't care that the crows would come and bite the flesh off his body. He prayed to Vaheguru, that they leave his eyes so he may get darshan of Vaheguru. How amazing is that? Naam is the only true 'ecstasy', the true 'drug' the true medicine. Forgive me if I have taken anything out of context.

Lol I do the same, 2 for the price of 1... Hmm I did hear you shudnt cut it, but there hasn't been any replies as to y. lol

Thanks Valli Singh for the information! Are you from India?

Can I ask why width cannot be cut? Any reason? Also doesnt width alter with different shops?

Can anyone organise a live audio feed? Just need an internet connection!

Is it ok to cut the width of the dastar? lol i know silly question but I got a feeling you aint meant to.. dont ask y. lol

The original post and email is a little mis-leading as it doesn't exactly mention that it was aimed at Muslims. Yes I agree we should stick up for all faiths, regardless, including this issue about turbans. Sorry if my comment came across as narrow minded.

To be honest I really don't know a lot, but really your best bet is to get in contact with Singhs in India, since you are from there! I very much doubt Sikh Youth Forums will have a "How to do" guide.. lol This topic talks bout Shardai

Im sure the comment was made about Muslims/Pakistanis as written below.. Muslims outraged over 'racist' video Muslims and Pakistanis around the world are furious and hurt after a video showed Prince Harry using the racist terms 'Paki' and 'raghead' In the scandal video, taken by Harry himself while on a military exercise in Cyprus in 2006, the Prince (24) is heard saying: "Ah, our little Paki friend, Ahmed." The man referred to is Ahmed Raza Khan, now said to be serving as a captain in Pakistan's army. Khan graduated from the Sandhurst military school in 2006 and received an award from Queen Elizabeth II as the best overseas officer cadet, his uncle Iftikhar Raja told the BBC. He said: "We expect better from our Royal Family on whom we spend millions and millions of pounds for training and schooling." Read more here

Dear akaalifaujan, u seem to be a nice cute knowledgable nihang bhujangi. Can u tell me where I can have non-intoxicating shaheedi degh ???? Its pretty risky these days and I dont want to get intoxicated. non intoxicating shaheedi degh is known as Shardai Our aim is to take the true Shaheedi Degh which is NAAM! Anything else comes second, its very easy to get into all these traditions, but our ultimate aim (the hardest) is to be engrossed in Naam and Gurbani, these are the TRUE shaster, the best shaster of all! aakhan aoukhaa saachaa naao || It is so difficult to chant the True Name. Guru Nanak Dev Ji So Dar Ang 9

Interesting topic JustME has begun! Should be interesting to read! Also please provide FACTS! We have too many people on this forum that give a variety of history stories, and there isn't really anything to support it! Kam1825, would be very helpful if you could provide us with some evidence or even support of the 4 Sampardas.

Please find a Gurdwara Sahib that will allow full Puraatan Maryada in this area. When you have contact this sevadar.

Just to clarify, who are you replying to, could you add quotes from the individuals post, so we know in what context you are talking in. Thanks.

Please if you can find out asap, that would be great veerji. Many thanks.

Then the facts on Damdamisahib.org are incorrect? As they have stated Baba Ji was Jathedar of Damdami Taksaal and Akaal Takht. I don't think anyone can really trace this back and probably hasn't been documented either. It's a shame really, because different Sampradas have different versions of history. Chalo we need to concentrate on the future and Khalsa Raaj!

Pardon my ignorance, just had a few questions while going through the website. Why is there a sanctuary only for cows and not other animals. Is there any specific reason for this? Shri Maan Swami Sant Darbara Singh Ji didn't keep their kesh on their face for example. Is this not a requirment for Nirmala Sampradas? To keep Kesh as Guru Sahib instructed? Bhulf chuk mafi for any mistakes I've made! By the way just read the above post again about positive comments only, I hope my questions don't come across as being negative.

I feel personally that the instruments our Guru's learnt, taught and even made should be 2nd nature to every Sikh in the world, but that doesn't mean its 'manmat' or wrong to do Kirtan on a harmonium. It just this instrument seems to have spread more across our community then the traditional string instruments. I have and do get the following statements from people who don't listen or practice 'shud' Raag Vidya because: 'It's boring' 'Its hard listening and taking part' 'Its always slow' 'I fall asleep listening to it' For people who practice it and don't use harmonium say the following: 'This is a European instrument, our Guru's did not use this instrument there fore Kirtan should not be sung on it' 'The harmonium instrument had a bad reputation for being used in places where prostitutes danced and now it's used in places like Sri Harmandir Sahib' 'Harmonium has only 7 sur and is limited, it doesnt posses the complexity that needs to be achieved in some raags.' Sorry if this seems offensive, but it shows that a lot of the Sikh community aren't educated in Puratan Raag Vidya and istread follow the trend of playing only on the harmonium.

If Baba Gurbaksh Singh Ji was Jathedar of Akaal Takht, Taksaal and (according to Laadli Fauj) also the jathedar of Dal Panth (wether that be both Buddha Dal & Tarna Dal), then why isnt this documented anywhere or written on historical websites such as Damdamitaksal.org and others?

:HP: :WOOHOO:

Hey I saw some Gutkeh that were Larivaar, but each word was in either orange, green or blue or something and it was really kool how it showed both path ched and larivaar. Where can we get those from?
