If we ignore all the criticisms about him, we have to appreciate that Maharaja Ranjit Singh KNEW what he was doing while maintaining Khalsa Raj!

Nothings wrong Bhai Sahib Ji/Bibi Sahib Ji :D

Just like thay attacked everyhting else in the article

Personally I think this: Do whatever you like right AND don't force your views on others eg: "THIS is Gurmat.. otherwise is Manmat" who are we to say whats gurmat lol.. I used to wash kesh everyday - stopped coz ma kesh started falling off (even w/o shampoo) so me just chillin with weekly kesi ishnaan ini

I feel its society that rides this, and society is based on culture more than religion. People in general tend to limit religion to Nitnem/prayers and places of worship and Sunday. Why not instill religion into their daily lives? The only thing that seems to be against Sikhi is "marry within our caste" - all the other things in the list seem to be just ordinary family values depends on the family.. In my opinion, the reason why people didn't marry into castes was because of practicality. The ways of lives differed between castes (assuming that castes were based on jobs) eg: Eating habits would've been different - farmers eat more body biulding stuff while businessmen eat more mind-making foods.. no? However, what the introduction of Khalsa-hood has done, was create a way of life which was the same for all castes - Ie: Saint Soldier discipline. This solves the practicle issue. That aside, coming to England/Canada etc has changed Punjabis - and the differences between castes also lessened from here (i dont see any chamaars making leather shoes or any Jatts farming). They all work together in the same occupations generally. So that also solves this issue. of different ways of life. On the other hand, we , being the great people we are, stick to being ourselves and create an even bigger divide by co-operating it into religion (Casted Gurdwaras). I thought only Jatts/Rajputs had the caste-driven ego problem - No siree everyone is suffering from it. So yeah, that's my opinion, I know it didn't help but it helped me to open up about this issue :D

wash & go all the way then slap on some saro da tel you're sor'id

Maybe he was a piece of rubbish lol Man where has the world come to?! Police paying lil chavs to keep their mouths shut?! Damn British Law!

I think maybe you're reading too much into this.. it is obvious what Guru Ji meant.. "Though you are the king of kings, O Aurangzeb ! you are far from righteousness and justice.94." I mean maybe Aurangzeb was a good king, just messed up with Guru Ji. If you think about it, a villian is not like the typical Bollywood-type villian where EVERYTHING about them is bad..

it is completely normal just make sure the room isnt skank and that u make the right friends and not get into bad crowds and not get killed by food poisoning from old food stuffs and not get ill form lack of hygiene in halls and be ready to meet random people who maybe havnt seen an asian before and study and pass lol joking chill everyone's in the same boat as you :D remember that

JustMe are you really just me?! I think you wrote this on my behalf.. the difference between u and me is that.. im not admitting to it. Humility is 1 thing, but literally being a £"$$^$£^$£% is another

Recite it how it is written - You cant go wrong then. Some people tend to pronounce "sant" throughout because maybe they are lazy/going too fast to know their mistake.

Well he should ask himself was it all done with kaam in mind. Chances are, from what i read about kissing her neck, it was. Pehla sochia nahi?! Emi aashiq banni firda lol.. I dont know about pesh though; Maybe he should go to ask for advice on what to do in the future - I'm guessing they would tell him to only minimally contact the girl form then on and no more physical contact. OR he might be ordered to marry her! Interesting situation - doubt it happens though lol There is no "specification" for going for peshi. If you ever have any doubts about whether what u did is wrong or not, then you should go to the panj pyare and ask for advice. Hopefully you'll control yourself in the future. These little "moments" we tend to get into are not too healthy.

This is exactly what i was talking about

OII!!! :D i send X's Stop looking into things too much emi! It's all about brotherly love

How about taking a different angle. Since some time ago (round abt 50's) a new breed of human beings have evolved. Those that don't like following rules - That rebel if forced into anything - The ones that like to go against whatever their parents say. I'm talking about the teenager. Back in the old day, the average teenager used to listen to what their parents used to listen to, wear what their parents did etc. But now, the average teenager listens to exactly the music that irritates parents, wear exactly what parents tell them not to and do everything that make them feel as independant as possible (watched this in "History of Britian" BBC1 i think). Anyway my point is: maybe it due to this new teenage model, and the fact that parents nowadays don't really care about Sikhi - Therefore, being a hardcore Singh/Kaur is in some way being the independant being that teenagers want to be. Personally, I wanted to take Amrit and when parents disagreed (everytime i mentioned Amrit tension used to grip the whole family), I wanted Amrit even more!

not according to the famous dialogues of Bollywood "Love is about giving not taking" lol On a serious note, i agree kaam krodh lobh moh hankar should be controlled rather than destroyed. I can provide quite a few references (not from Gurbani because I don't like using Gurbani 1-liners to point towards my argument) but to truthfully I can't be bothered :D Believe what you want. If you're confused seek help.. and if you're kool then chillax :TH: Gurbar Akaal!

nice way of expressing it.. Repping Sikhi in nightclubs.. Modern parchaar or wat

Well yeah, an old enough age is maybe after 14 yrs old.. when they can make their own decisions. If he does make the kid take Amrit, then would he force him to wake up at Amritvela? Make him do Nitnem everyday? Make him wear the 5 Kakaars? Doesn't sound too promising in my opinion.. ..End of day, it's up to the individual if they are ready to take this big step.

I have no control. It is not technically a Gurdwara, it's almost a Dera. No nishaan saheb, no maryada, it's not for the Sangat, it's private property, Gurdwara Nanaksar. Wait.. that means there's no langar hall coz langar is not served in Nanaksar Gurdwaras no? Isnt that why there is no Nishan Sahib because of no langar??

lol bruv if u dont even know that then I suggest please take some time to go through Guru Granth Sahib ji before arguing with everyone over some pic :D Read Bhai Gurdas Ji's Vaars eg: http://www.sikhitothemax.com/page.asp?ShabadID=5765 if u dont know who duryodhan is then please please read mahabharat before commenting on it :TH: you just said "Lord" Krishna.. oopsi

lol.

Gurbaani mentions Ridhis and Sidhis. There are 18 Sidhis. Of them, the eight are known as major and the remaining are considered minor. The eight principle Sidhis are as follows: the power to assume form as small as atom (Anima), as large as mountain (Mahimaa), as light in weight as air (Laghimaa), and as heavy in weight as the Earth (Grimaa); the power to attain anything desired (Praapati), to bring all senses under one's control (Vasitva), to have unhampered will (Prakaamaya), and the lordliness (Isha). The minor Sidhis are namely the power to be immune from hunger and thirst (Anooram), to hear from afar (Door Sharavan), to see from afar (Door Darshan), to travel fast like thought (Manoveg), to assume any desired form (Kaamroop), to enter into another's body (Parkaayi Parvesh), to die at one's own will (Sai Maritayaa), to enjoy meeting with gods (Surkareeraa), the fulfillment of desires (Sankalap Sidhi), and to go anywhere unobstructed (Apratihat Gat).

Why isit that in my mind im seeing ocelot as someone shouting his head off? Does anyone else get that feeling? It seems to me that he's over-reacting.. :D

Apologies, I'll try to listen to it as soon as I have the time to

Who did he fight against? Because I recall that he was helping Chandi..?
