But who am i to comment brother, I don't know you - just liek all the other repiers to thos thread. Do what your heart says :lol:

I once tried to read the first pauri of Japji Sahib with each sentence as one long word.

I swear I felt such an effect that was more than if I had read the whole of Japji Sahib as I do.

Quick Q: Is it wrong to sing Bani when it's not a shabad?

Sometimes I read Japji sahib or Dukhbhanjan Sahib and I suddenly start singing the Bani in my head instead of reading it.

yep thats kool singh ji ur blessed!

Doing 2nd year Medicine at Southampton uni :lol:

big up!!

Thus, Nanak dressed in Neela Bana: Neel Bastar lai kaprey pahirey, Turk -pathani amal kiya (adorned navy-blue dress adopting Turki form). Later, as the Tenth Nanak (Guru Gobind Singh), discarded it by saying: Neel bastar lai kaprey faare, Turk pathani amal giya (adorned blue-attire torn, discarding the Turk Pathani form). Out of this form the NIHANG sect originated.

now what part of gurbani that comes from?!

personally.. i dun tink a SINGH has any right to 'bash' bibian who talk about facial hair problems... us 'singhs' don't know how difficult it is to a be a female in todays society, let alone a female with facial hair... its easy for a singh to walk around with khula dara (open beard) buh i's nah so easy for a kaur to walk around with facial hair... especially if i's a case of excessive facial hair...

i understand where ur comin from... buh it doesn't seem u understand where bibian are comin from... because plain and simple u can't...

in todays world, in todays society its VERY difficult for all guru wale sikhs, but even more for bibian with facial hair...

nobody has a right to judge anybody or bash anybody... yes we can talk, consult, comfort, educate and inspire... buh at the end of the day, we don't know what that person has gone through.. for a kaur listenin to a singh say 'suck it up and stop complaining' you think tha's inspiring her? that doesn't show love or acceptance... i think MOST of the onus is on our sisters to help our other sisters, because they know the others are going thru... they've been in those situations, or are in those situations now...

if a kaur sees another kaur dawning a dastaar and has some facial hair but is completely fine with the way she looks and is 100% proud of herself, that will inspire the other kaur...

agreed that its all duality and we shouldn't conform to society etc... etc... buh tha's nah to say that it isn't very difficult... yes maya is very strong.. and it comes in many forms... i'm sure none of us have conquered the 5 chors... in fact, to me, for sum1 to say 'suck it up and stop complaining' shows more ego...

where's the love???

GAANGSTAAAA

Being a Singh, you would expect me to be like "yo u have to be strong stop being so weak bla bla bla singh shaheed for kesh bla bla Guru Ji's daughter bla"

But since everyone's done that above I feel like taking a different approach:

DONT force yourself to keep kesh. Only do it when you WANT to. Dont feel you have to. Do it only when you feel that love for Akaal Purakh Sahib Ji.

ooo sounds controversial.. lol.. by the way I'm not a monna

The thing is, when you force yourself in the name of Sikhi - Don't you see how FAR you're degrading Sikhi? You limit your spiritual advancement by physically forcing yourself. I didn't force myself to stop eating meat, I didn't force myself to have a cold bath in mornings, I didn't force myself to keep Darha sahib etc. If i did then my mind would try to rebel that bit more!

Say you (after people pressurizing u) decide to take amrit anyway and vow not 2 cut your kesh.. Then 2 things tend to happen in the general case:

a) you end up giving up cutting your kesh again

b) your self confidence crashes down to all time low - (Khalsa is meant to be humble but comeon.. u need self respect dude!)

Who loses out? Not the people who "told you so" but YOU. Those "hardcore" ppl will remain hardcore - just look at you and say a) OMG ur so weak b) stay strong (respectively to above circumstances). The other end ppl will say "i told u not 2 take amrit!"

THE decision is yours. Not mine, not his, not hers, not anyone on this forum. Only keep kesh when you're mentally ready.

PS: Same counts for fighting kaam .. Forcing yourself to stop Kaam tends to create explosive consequences ("celibate" priests - whether "christian" or "sikh" or whoever - raping/sexually harrasing/perving on young girls)

Wars are not won in 1 minute.. they take time dude! Use tactics with the resources you got (instead of letting that energy go to your sexual organs use it up in training for example.. or stay busy if u get kaami when you got nothing to do)

Be a Khalsa not a wannabe

At the end of day it takes effort

Try studying Punjabi as a language - like GCSE/ A levels

And read lot's of gurbani..

English translations are ok only for the beginning of this journey

Then u'll naturaly start linking punjabi words with their English meanings

AND THEN you'll realise how wrongly they are translated!

You begin to use encyclopeadia of Punjabi (Mahankosh) - which is AMAZING to find the meaning of any word in Gurbani (but its all in punjabi)

One day, it will just click to you - listening, reading Gurbani leads to understanding Gurbani.

All it takes is effort..

now THIS is interesting!!

Depending on the family, some recite Chandi Di Vaar and other yudh banis from Sri Dasam Darbar.

damn wish my parents did that lol :D

lol whats the difference..? Still got the spaces..

The point of Lareevar was that you had to take Santhia just to read Baani - Therefore all problems of ppl mispronouncing the words woud disappear.

You finally done it..

Now enjoy the rass of Gurbani! :D

If u wana go clubs, GO!

If you dont.. dont

But if you dont like seeing people going to clubs.. close your eyes

http://www.sikhitothemax.com/page.asp?ShabadID=1780

Can someone provide me with the Sakhi(s) that serves as a background of this particular Shabad?

Personally I didn't feel the bliss like some people say "days/weeks" later..

I strongly believe that after taking Amrit you don't lose anything..you actually gain more and more! It is likely that our Avguns make us think this negative way.

good post but.. you spoilt it with one line

its is wat "we deem to be" our guru's body

but also.. from reading your post again.. it sounded quite a lot like A pro-idol argument made by Hindus (4th Para)

Veerji, isnt Kalyug coming to an end sometime soon according to calculations of dates?

And what about Panj Granthi Baani By Giani Takhur Singh pleaseeee????

I got Nitnem, but thats it..

All I can say is that I have faith that in some way, some day, things will work out like they should. I think most of the last bunch of real Khalsas died between 1984 and 1992. A lot of these guys are just living off old reputations and not building new ones, they will suffer for that in future. Let another generation or two come up. Someone with a brain and ability will appear from amongst us and hopefully we will grow in maturity as a community. The fact that the majority of the panth are semi illiterate pindus back home doesn't help.

Let whatever happens happen. Everything will be recorded and people will judge what is what for themselves. I'm sure plenty of Amritdharis are not ignorant and simple and have some conception of ground realities. Singhs are always late, don't you know. The face of the panth is rapidly changing anyway, you don't have to look far to see that.

Anyway, even in our past it wasn't the majority that was active, it was a strong minority, the rest follow afterwards.

:nihungsmile: :awesome

Why shouldn't ppl eat there? its a free Country ppl eat where they like! stop spreading crap!flipping fascists

Vah Bhai Vah welcome back Daku!

lol i see singhs going into halaal shops to buy vegetables and u telling us 2 boycott a naamdhari shop?

I autmatically thought it happened in India and was about to write "it only happens in India" but what?!

lol wow from every single person that posted in this thread i recieved a different answer

The joys of variation

anywho.. why would you want to know when kalyug will end? it shouldn't matter to a Gursikh - as his state of mind would be in Satyug with Gurbani.. whether they are chilling in Satyug or burning in Kalyug.

Even Taksaalis don't really do that huna?

The Siharis and Onkars are just there for gramatical purposes (and to balance out the number of letters on each line)

Eg: How would u pronounce:

shs qv nYn nn nYn hih qoih kau shs mUriq nnw eyk quohI ]

Here, it should be pronounced qohI and grammatically translated as quhI

hmmmmmmmmmmm.....this sounds familiar...........im wondering if "Jaspreet" is who is think he is......... :nihungsmile:

is so then veer.....................heres my two cents.......................when a personal isnt in a relationship................he want to be in one............when someone IS in a relationship.............he/she realises wot a huge screw up it acually is..............ive got a question for all the "Gursikhs" out there............

How many of us have found happiness in sikhi AND continued to live a NON_SIKH life?

it CANT BE DONE............u cannot call urself a sikh if u indulge in non-sikh activities just because todays society has become more torable to these things it does NOT mean that it is acceptable in Gods Court...............butter it up in any way u want but u know wot is right and wot is wrong.......

for example..............take me...............up until one week ago i had the "perfect" life..............gud-ish family, Lovely boyfriend who id been with for six yrs and worshiped me, and lovely new house, a great job, good education, SOUNDS GREAT YEAH?

but it wasnt...........on the outside the most exotic flower can look sooooo apealing but only the plant itself knows wot poison lurks under the surface................

the mere fact that i was having relations with a male OUTSIDE of marrriage since the age of 17 IS A PAAP...........its kaljug getting a stronger hold on us..............maya intoxicating us with temporary pleasure but when its time to depart from this world.........the lovely boyfriend, the nice new house does not come with us...........................

I leave u guys to make up ur minds about the rest

bhul chuck maafi

Waheguru Je Ka Khalsa Waheguru Je Ki Fateh

dayaaaaam justMe u sound just like me again! :D Sometime i look at life and think - chek meee out i rock! but then i look at it from a sikhi point of view and think..

JEEYO MAILLE BARRO NIRMAL
