had the same 'error 403' message a few times as well.

Bhagat Ravidas Ji didn't look anything like shown in pictures either. Maybe he did wear a dastar, maybe not. Important thing is to follow their teachings as in Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

No point creating controversy where there isn't any.

Make sure you fulfil any promises you made during the 'sukhnas'. You shouldn't really do them, just rely on Ardas.

Focus your mind on what needs to be done, and do it - both spiritually e.g. Nitnem, Simran, Paath, Sewa, and study hard as well. You know what your weaknesses are, so deal with them and keep doing ardas.

:waheguru:

All the criteria that make one a Sant are listed by Guru Sahib. If you're in the presence of a real Sant, you'll know it yourself, SImran will start automatically within you.

It's bad manners and very disrespectful to Guru Sahib, bordering on beadbi.

I guarantee that if they could see Guru Sahib in human form, there wouldn't be any pushing or shoving, or talking in Sangat etc. "...Lokun Ram Khilona Janaa...."

Best thing to do is to contact wikipedia and explain that the original author's aim is to discredit Damdami Taksal. He doesn't let anyone correct his mistakes and his views are offensive to a large number of Sikhs. Contact them now.

COULD ANY BODY HELP ME TO TELL THAT WHERE THIS SHABAD " YUDH KE JITEYA,DUDH POOT KE DEVEYEA" COMES IN SRI DASM GRANTH JI

CSSOHAL@YAHOO.COM

It's from the awesome "Sri Akaal Ustat", one of the first banis in Sri Dasam Granth.

ਪੁਤ੍ਰੀ ਕਉਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਲਿਓ ਕਰਿ ਪੀਰਹੁ ਕੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਮੁਰਟੀਐ ॥

Nanak's sons did not obey His Word; they turned their backs on Him as Guru.

Thus Bhai Lehna became Guru Angad Dev Ji

Is that a translation or an opinion?

Many Mahaan Gursikhs didn't pass the tests for Gurgaddi, but that doesn't mean we start insulting or disrespecting them. Ithaas tells us that Guru Nanak Sahib Ji's worldly family were shown the utmost respect by Guru ANgad Dev Ji up to Kalgidhar Pita Ji.

This is Aarta, written by Baba Sri Chand Ji for Guru Sahib, it shows the prem they had:

"Let us sing the praises of Nanak, King of kings of both worlds . The whole world is His temple, congregations sing sweet songs in His praise, Millions of goddesses kindle holy lights in His honor, All the gods sing psalms of His praises, All wash His lotus feet. The Sun and moon illuminate Him with their radiance, He is garlanded with mountains of flowers The True Master, the fountain of Light, is merciful to the poor, The king of the winds fans Him while saints and sages meditate on His holiness. The whole universe vibrates with His celestial song, The bells ring out - Onkar, Continuously illuminating the heavens He is one with God whose name is Truth, In Nanak saints find their support. Siri Chand, Nanak's son, declares Nanak is unattainable, unfathomable, unshakeable and pure. Whoever sings Emperor Nanak's praises resides in heaven and achieves complete salvation Oh kind master: give protection to those who seek your shelter. Oh Nanak: You are the savior we are just your children"

Only5 - That post by Chatanga is from Suraj Parkash and other historical granths as well.

Sri Chand was good for nothing - he has nothing to do with Sikhism and nor do any of these Sanathan-fied Hindu cults

The Khalsa's home is Anandpur ,Father Guru Gobind Singh Ji Mother Mata Sahib Kaur

Veera, read up on our history before saying stuff you may regret later. Gurbani tells us that even the dust from a true Sant's feet is blessed, that the ground on which Guru Ji walked is dhan-dhan. Sri Chand Ji was Guru Ji's son, how does that compare to dust from Guru Ji's feet?!

Gurbani also says that past and future generations of a Bhramgyanis family go straight to Sachkhand - that's for Bhramgyanis, imagine what kind of blessed soul has Guru Ji as their dad!

It isn't Sri Chand Ji's fault that people have made idols representing him etc.

LOL @ the Muslim da'wah on this thread.

It's like one of them has written a little handbook of questions that the rest simply cut and paste to save them from the painful process of thinking for themselves.

LOL! I guess it's just coincidence that the thread starter, 'Amanbhogal' and 'peacentdisease' just happen to both be from Bahrain.

helllo evryone...

i am a new memeber here with a motive of gaining some information regarding our own religion...

n i have a few questions ...

hoping a good response from your side...

1. why does caste system still prevails among sikhs...if our religion aborts it?

2.why do many sikhs visit temple's n worship hindu Gods..whereas idol worshipping is strictly probhitted.?

thank u

1. Sikhi doesn't allow discrimination based on caste. The same way Islam doesn't allow alcohol consumption, but many Muslims drink, eat pork and do other stuff that can't be mentioned here.

2. Same as above. You'll have to ask the people who do it why they do.

"THE CREATION IS IN THE CREATOR AND THE CREATOR IS IN THE CREATIONS"

(what does this means -what ever things are created are in the creator(GOD) and vice versa the creator(GOD) is in the creation"..how can it be possible??

IF YOU THINK THAT MY MANNER TOWARDS GOD IS DIFFRENT THEN EXPLAIN ME THIS PART

PEACE

It's saying that God is omni-present, everywhere, all powerful, we can not hide from God. In reality, there is only God.

Abrahamic religions, for the most part, see God as a distinct being looking down at us from some place else. This concept is different to the way most Eastern religions view God. The exceptions are some branches of Shia Islam, which share a similar view that God is omni present.

Is it hot in Bahrain?

Come on PJS Ji, the forum needs more stuff like this...

Thanks for pointing this out.

:sad:

Brother,

What's the problem with the verse you quote above? I suspect your concept of God has something to do with it.

Regarding rates of growth of religion: having multiple wives and numerous children with a view to filling the world certainly helps growth rates. Also, religions actively seeking out converts, in fact geared only to increasing their numbers in a bid to boost egos, will have high rates of conversion. Not to mention teachings that allow lies when performing Dawa'h.

Soil is more widespread than diamonds......

Regards.

Mehtab Singh Ji, the point is that they present the views of only one Jatha and pass it off as 'Sikh Answers', not 'abc jatha answers' and by advertising their link, we're endorsing them in a way.

you are extremely right brother

but is there any 0ne to explain this?

How can God Create himself?According to Guru Nanak Dev, he claims that “God himself told me that he is self-created”.

Where did Guru Ji claim that?

You're thinking of creation from the point of view of a human, seeing yourself as the body and the physical world you see around yourself.

God is self-existant, (English translations mess things up): was, is and will forever be.

It should be: .....NOT even a bit of....[[50]]

Who gives the 'answers' on that site? They seem geared to a particular jatha......

Idiots

You have to use weights to build decent strength. Dumbell bench press, wrist curls, grip work etc will surely help.
