Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! I think if we look at the Jeevans of Naam Raseeye Gursikhs from the past and present, and try to 'copy' them as the original poster suggested in terms of what they do in Sangat , then we can also gain full Lahaa from the Sangat we keep. If nothing else, Gurbani, an Ocean of Priceless Jewels provides guidance about the Sangat we should keep and what one should do in this Sangat. One such example is this account of a Gursikh, in the Sangat of a Gursikh, who talks to them about the Sangat of Gursikhs they did in the past. How great is that! :lol: Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh!

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! That's unfortunate. Each university will have different policies but for my course, I had pass each module (12 modules = 120 credits) by at least 40% to progress to the next year and to stay on the Honours degree programme. If first time exams were failed, supplementary exams had to be taken. If supplementary exams were failed, people had the chance to:- >Transfer to the Ordinary degree programme >Retake the failed exams the following year without attendance >Repeat the year with attendance and retake the exams Most often, if you fail the exams on the first attempt in the repeated year, then you are withdrawn from the course, unless you have mitigating circumstances, which can be an illness or a personal problem (i.e. someone passed away in the family). These have to be communicated with your personal tutor and proven through someone like a doctor. It would be best if your friend speaks to her personal tutor (if not done already) to discuss her options. Hope that helps. Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh!

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! This is interesting. EmiJiha Jeeo you make sense when saying Vaheguroo's creation is Limitless, as this occurs in Gurbani. How can the Limitless have a limited creation? However, there are also references to 8.4 million joons in Gurbani. Do you think these have been taken literally? Or are these only in reference to the cycle of birth and death which separated souls must go through? I would be great if you could give further veechaar on this :lol: . Just trying to understand thats all. Thanks. Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh!

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! 1. The Power of Gurbani & Naam! If it's done with full hearted devotion and nothing other than the thirst for the Love of Guru Saheb's Charan, then All-Knowing Guru Himself takes care of all our affairs. 2. The Power of Ardas! Again, if done with full concentration, true heart and mind, positive thinking and with the firm believe that Guru Saheb WILL help us (I.e. not just saying and doubting at the same time like most of us do), then Guru Saheb will fulfil every need of His Servant. Bhul chukh maafi. Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh!

14.2 Sweet Naam The Naam of God is sweet to me says Guru Arjun Dev Jee in Sukhmanee Sahib...'Naam Prabhoo ka laga meeta'. Like when you go to someone's house and you drink the sweet tea, then take a bite of the even sweeter jelabee, then sipping the tea again you think - 'this is tasteless in comparison.' Bhai Jasvir Singh Jee Khanaa vale gave the above example and continued, we think pleasures of the world are sweet. We love our spouse, our children, we get pleasure from food and drink, but once we have tasted Sweet Naam then all these worldly pleasures become plain in comparison. The thing with saying 'Waheguru Waheguru' again and again is that it is tasteless at first says Bhai Gurdas Jee, like licking a rock. Whereas in the amusement park of the world, the glittering attractions are instantly pleasing to the mind. Pop music wants to make us dance as soon as it touches our eardrum, our mouth waters as soon as we smell our favourite food, our heart leaps at just the thought of that special someone. But saying 'Waheguru Waheguru' at amritvela just puts us to sleep. The mind wrestles with you 'Go to sleep man! This is a waste of time...no miracles are happening, I cant see no light nor hear the celestial music....just go to sleep man.' But that's what happens in the first few years, after spending a lot of time riding on the glittering attractions, they become boring. That special someone no longer gives you a buzz every time you see their face, your favourite food just taste average nowadays, that favourite song of yours is getting to sound repetitive....everything's boring. But the one who didn't listen to the mind and carried on saying 'Waheguru Waheguru' every amritvela without fail has a different story to tell. 'Waheguru Waheguru' gets more and more addictive as you say it, 'Waheguru Waheguru' calms the mind down, picks it up out of depression and makes it fly like a bird. 'Waheguru Waheguru' wraps you up in an invisible blanket of love and humility.......one day 'Waheguru Waheguru' showers you in God's Love and Light....one day 'Waheguru Waheguru' makes you feel like your spread out across the whole of creation tuned into everything...and one day 'Waheguru Waheguru' tastes like sweet amrit on your tongue...amrit naam....'Naam Prabhoo ka laga meeta' and everything else seems tasteless in comparison. We are not the first ones to walk on the 'Waheguru Waheguru' path, nor are we the last. All we have to do is have faith that it WORKS! It worked for Bhai Lehna Jee, Bhai Amaroo Jee, Bhai Jetha Jee and it worked for Guru Arjun Dev Jee as he sat on the hot plate with burning sand pouring over his blistered shoulders. Without any fear or hate, without any pain or sorrow Guru Arjun Dev Jee's state of mind was 'Tera keea meeta lagey. Har Naam Padarth Nanak Mangey'....Your Will is sweet, Nanak asks for the gift of Naam. God's Will is Sweet God's Word is Sweet God's Naam is Sweet The one who has these residing in their heart is also sweet. Sweet and gentle in the way s/he speaks, sweet and beautiful to all of God's Creation. Dhan Guru Arjun Dev Jee....The King of Martyrs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ N A A M - N E T Dedicated to Gurmat & Naam Simran http://www.panthkhalsa.org/naamnet Posting address : NaamNetOrg@yahoogroups.com Administrative address : naamnetorg@yahoo.com To Subscribe : NaamNetOrg-subscribe@yahoogroups.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

14.21 Spare Time Bhai Mukhi jee was the mukhi sevadar in Baba jee's small dera (residence). Bhai Mukhi jee, as his name implied, was the mukhi or main sevadar of the dera. He was responsible for organzing everything from langar to amrit vela simran smagams. He and Baba jee loved each other immensely. There was little doubt that once Baba jee merged into waheguru, Bhai Mukhi jee would take over the dera's complete seva. At nights, Bhai Mukhi jee would massage Baba jee's legs lovingly. It would also be the time for Bhai Mukhi jee to ask Baba jee about spiritual matters. Baba jee spent the day in naam and normally was not available for any questions. But at nights when everything was calm, Baba jee was more suspectible to inquiring spiritual minds. However one particular night, Bhai Mukhi jee was feeling a little egoistic. This is a common problem amongst aspiring naami jan who haven't attained yet. So he asked Baba jee the following question: "Baba jee, who is your greatest disciple." There was no doubt in his mind that it was he who Baba jee would chose as the greatest disciple. A small hint of smile caressed Baba jee's lips. It seemed like he was expecting this question from Bhai Mukhi jee. After pausing for a minute he said, "I would have a hard time deciding about that, but Bhai Mohna jee comes to mind." Bhai Mukhi jee's heart froze. Usually when Baba jee answered Bhai Mukhi jee's question, Bhai Mukhi jee would not ask anything back; rather, he would ponder over it on for a day or two and then he would ask further questions. But today Bhai Mukhi jee's heart was trembling and he couldn't think straight. So he blurted out, "Why?" Baba jee smiled and said, "That you have to see for yourself." This was said in a tone which clearly marked the end of the conversation. That night was a difficult one for Bhai Mukhi jee. There was no doubt that Bhai Mohna jee was a good disciple. He would come to the dera once in a while and do seva and simran. But him the greastest disciple?!! In fact, Bhai Mukhi jee remembered several times when Bhai Mohna jee had not attended the weekly simran smagam they held. Partly out of sincerity, but mostly out of sheer curiousity, Bhai Mukhi jee decided to visit Bhai Mohna jee the next day. Bhai Mohna jee lived about two hours walking distance from Baba jee's abode. So with Baba jee's blessing, Bhai Mukhi jee started towards Bhai Mohna jee's village the vary next evening. Bhai Mohna jee was overjoyed to see him. When Bhai Mukhi jee informed him that he planned to stay there for a few days, Bhai Mohna jee was overwhelmed and with tears, he thanked him profusely. In the following days, Bhai Mukhi jee kept a sharp eye on Bhai Mohna jee's daily routines. Quite surprisingly, Bhai Mohna jee did not wake up until 5 am. And even more shocking, Bhai Mohna jee just down for simran for only 15 minutes before setting off to his farm. Bhai Mukhi jee followed him to the farm too. No doubt that Bhai Mohna jee recited "waheguru waheguru" with each breath - but that's what Bhai Mukhi jee did too. Bhai Mukhi jee was quited baffled. He did not see a single spiritual thing that Bhai Mohna jee did that made him better than himself. At night too, Bhai Mohna jee sat down for 15 minutes and recited "waheguru waheguru" before dozing off. What Bhai Mukhi jee noticed was that Bhai Mohna jee was an extremely busy person. He worked very hard on the farm and was quite tired when he got home. He was so tired that he had trouble just staying up for supper. During simran too, Bhai Mukhi jee saw him dozing off on several occasions. Bhai Mukhi jee repeatedly asked Bhai Mohna jee if indeed this was his daily routine. To which Bhai Mohna jee repied, "It gets even busier in the Summer." After a few days, Bhai Mukhi jee, greatly perplexed, made his way back to Baba jee. At the first chance he got, he blurted out, "Why is Bhai Mohna jee the greatest disciple? He spends all his day on the farm. In fact, Baba jee, he only does 30 minutes of simran." "Only 30 minutes", Bhai Mukhi jee repeated. Baba jee smiled and asked Bhai Mukhi jee, "And how much spare time does Mohna have?" It was then that it all dawned onto Bhai Mukhi jee's mind. He dreamily replied, "30 minutes." --------------- Pyari sakhiooo, waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh It doesn't matter how many hours of simran we do. What matters is how devoted we are. Bhai Mohna jee was totally devoted. He had 30 spare minutes and he gave all he had to waheguru. All of it, pyareooo, all of it. That is the difference between a naami and a non-naami. A naami gives everything, expecting nothing back; while a non-naami gives a little and asks for everything back. Pyareoo, there is a gursikh on Naam Net who informed daas that he dedicates 5 hours to simran and gurbaNi each day. Pyareoo, this Singh is married, has a kid and holds a very important job. He also told daas that his goal is to dedicate 8 hours to simran each day. Now that's a naami. So pyareooo, let us reflect how much of our free time do we give to waheguru? The answer will be directly related to our chardi kala. ------------- Once Bhai Veer Singh jee went sight-seeing in Simla. There he went to a certain place where there was a big and a very deep lake. There were many fish in the lake and the people who ran that place had built a small pond adjoining the lake. The pond served the owners and the tourists very well; the tourists would throw food into the pond and fish would come out the lake, grab the food and rush back into their lake. This way the tourist would get to see some very exotic fish. Naami gursikhs like Bhai Sahib see small truths in everything. Bhai Sahib was greatly inspired by this and later wrote, "Gursikhs are like the fish in the lake. They stay in their deep spiritual state (atmaic avastha) at all times. But if there is need to come out to work then they come out and as soon as the work is done, they return back to their deep spiritual state." ***** On a similiar subject, Bhai Sahib wrote, "Gursikhs, since they are househoulders, can only spend a limited amount of time sitting for simran. But there are many gaps in the day which gursikhs fill with simran. The simran done during gaps accumulates to a huge amount and helps gursikhs to progress spiritually." By gaps, Bhai Sahib means the gaps we have when our mind can be free. For example, during driving, during lunch or other breaks or even during trips to the bathroom. If we carefully note our schedules, we have many hours absolutely free. Bhai Sahib advises gursikhs not to let those hours go to waste. Fill them with waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ N A A M - N E T Dedicated to Gurmat & Naam Simran http://www.panthkhalsa.org/naamnet Posting address : NaamNetOrg@yahoogroups.com Administrative address : naamnetorg@yahoo.com To Subscribe : NaamNetOrg-subscribe@yahoogroups.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru WaheGuru * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! Keertan is also up on Keertan.org Keertan.org --> Mutlimedia --> AKJ Keertan --> India --> Dussehra Samagam Delhi 2007 Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh!

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! I heard this recently and was wowed by it: Bhai. Amrik Singh Zakhmi - Saajanra Mera Saajanra Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh!

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! Just a suggestion: Most people have a camera phone right? You can record the vajaa keys from the top (get someone to hold it whilst you play ), and then upload it using something like sendspace. Easy peasy. Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh!

Neither if you suck at playing games! **cough cough**

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! ^^^Awesome analogy! My 2 pence worth: 1. Amrit, Naam and Gurbani would be the three most important tools of the painter. Without anyone of these, the masterpiece cannot be created. Gurbani is essentially food for the soul. Without this, our souls would be reduced to nothing. From Gurbani, we come to know of Naam, the qualities of Naam and the benefits of Japping Naam. Naam is like that cement which can bond us with Vaheguroo permanently. But of course the correct materials and consistency is needed to firstly make it, and then for it to bond well. Simply by reading Gurbani we cannot say that we know how to make this. We can try, but it won't be of the right consistency, so the bond will not be permanent. So where can we obtain this Naam, this Priceless Jewel? Guru Sahib being Dyaal has said: And so when we do this trade, it’s done with Amrit, and with Amrit we receive Naam. We commit to giving everything to Guru Sahib, and in return we receive the gift of Amrit. Only through Amrit bestowed by Guru Roop Panj Piaare can we receive Naam. This Naam is perfect in everyway; all that is needed thereafter is for us to apply it, and to build on making that bond with Vaheguroo everlasting. 2. The different coloured paint the painter uses for this masterpiece are the Virtues of Vaheguroo. These Virtues can only be painted and layered onto the canvas (soul) through a paint brush, which is essentially Naam. These Virtues, once painted onto our souls are admired, just like the painting. 3. For the painter to improve his technique, he will need to practice and practice with pyaar, determination and the mindset to improve. The benefits of Naam and Gurbani are the same, the more we do with pyaar, with full belief, the greater our Jeevans become. Guru Sahib’s Kirpaa also increases with the effort we put in. Guru Sahib's Sikhi is Perfect, ALL the flaws are within us. Bhul chukh maafi. Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh!
