OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! Bhenji!!! That is the exact same time I started asking the same questions!!!! To tell you the truth that was only 3 years ago for me. and to be honest I still ask those questions.... Why do i have to do this? why do i have to do that? Also the reason I started asking those questions was b/c I had to do a presentation for geography and thought I'll do it on Sikhism, it will be so easy.....but no way was it easy. Because I looked at what I learned from researching and my life up until that point and I felt like crap. Even now I'm getting kind of depressed thinking about this stuff because at this point I still haven't been able to get through all the bad habits, and haven't been able to give myself up to Guru Sahib 100%. Samadhi is 100% right. This is where everyone one starts off (from what I know). The KEY THING is don't think your losing anything, UNDERSTAND that you are GAINING something. To be honest I feel the exact same way alot of the time. Like sure over the last three years I've developed an ok understanding of bani. I've learned to read Gurmukhi, but I haven't been able to throw off some of the worst habits I picked up in my youth. So does that mean Guru sahib doesn't love me? I don't think so. I think if you and me are making an honest effort to better ourselves than Guru sahib is proud of us. Because sure we aren't able to get out of these things right away. But the fact that we're struggling through it, toughing it out, pushing with all our might. I think thats what Guru sahib is happy about. But if we say, well if Guru sahib doesn't love me if I can't do it all, why make the effort? Thats where we fail. How can we expect Guru sahib to help us when we don't make an effort to please him, right? One thing you have to understand is that just by causing you to ask these questions , I think it means Guru Sahib is happy with you. The fact that your making an effort means Guru sahib wants you to become closer to him. Just keep making an effort and Guru Sahib will make these worries go away, they will seem like trivial things. I just want to say that I'm giving advice only through what I have experienced, and my limited knowledge. Remember Bhenji, I'm almost exactly where you are, I haven't taken amrit but I'm struggling to get there, and that's the key thing, that we keep struggling and fighting, but with an effort. So if your not ready to take your make up off right away, try using less and less, and I STRONGLY suggest you start learning gurmukhi, your age is the exact same time I started learning it. You're not alone!

Bhen ji (sister), you have the qualities that make a sikh, you just have to push that bit harder and let go of everything but your sikhi. You are apart of sikhism, you are on your path...now the reason you feel torn is because you've reached a crossroad (one i have been stuck at for the last 3 years-its hasn't been fun) You've reached a place where your learning enough to know that you can't continue on without sacrificing those worldly attachements that seem so dear to you. You have to decide now what is more important to you, those other trivial, worldy things, or YOUR GURU. If you want to make your Guru proud. Decide now what you will do. Learn to read gurmukhi and start reading bani. Start reading bani and soon you will realize you don't need other trivial stuff. All you need is Guru Ji (which i think you already realize). It's a hard path but has many rewards, try your best, and learn bani! even do it in english at first if you can't read gurmukhi! I myself am on my path and gave you some of the little knowledge I have. Bull chuck maaf (forgive me for any mistakes)

I dunno this baba looks mad in the pic... maybe it's because all of these people are throwing flowers on him and he's trying to do bani ? I really don't know who this is or what he's done but if you have a problem with it? easy ...don't look at it, don't care about it, including the followers of potential fake babay....if it's damaging sikhi on the other hand, something has to be done, doesn't it ?

Bump. I was actually wondering the same thing......

Bump! Just signed, and when you sign, leave a message so the topic stays at the top (or mod just make it a sticky)

Singh, no Sant ever came out and said " I am a Sant worship me, and wash my feet". Be more humble veerji, always be humble. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vahegur Ji Ki Fateh!

A 15-year-old boy who was stabbed in the stomach during a fight with a younger teen last night at the Ontario Khalsa Darbar temple on Dixie Rd. is expected to fully recover from his wounds. Peel Regional Police were called to the Dixie Gurdwara at 7080 Dixie Rd., just north of Derry Rd. E., at about 9 p.m. after a reported stabbing. The temple was filled with people enjoying Vaisaki, an annual Sikh religious festival that celebrates the start of the new solar year and draws thousands of people throughout the day. It culminates with socializing and a large meal in the evening. Upon their arrival, police found a 15-year-old boy in a basement kitchen of the temple suffering from stab wounds. "He was rushed to hospital with what turned out to be non life-threatening injuries," Cst. Marlene Murphy told The News this morning. Police arrested a 13-year-old youth inside the temple. The victim and the accused know each other and police suspect they were involved in an ongoing dispute. The suspect, who has been charged with assault, was released into his parent's custody on a promise to appear in court on May 19. A man who answered a call to the temple after the incident told The Globe and Mail that a fight broke out and one of the boys grabbed a kitchen knife from a nearby table of food while evening prayers were taking place.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa!!!! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!!! Sangat Ji this is something I just wrote watching the sun set. I'm not really that great with poetry and all, but please comment though. :BL: The Sun The sun brings life to all, And it’s bright light encompasses the world. It’s warmth permeates through all, Melting the cold snow, And awakening all creatures. Yet, If I could be blessed with vision of my father, His divine light would burn my eyes from their sockets, But no longer would I need them. If I could be in the presence of my mother, Warmth would radiate from her with enough heat to burn my sullied flesh, But no longer would I need it. My father’s love encompasses this world, The one below, And above. With my mother’s happiness, Tears of bliss would be shed, At the sound of her laughter. The sun sets and I no longer feel it’s warmth. The sun sets and I no longer see it’s brilliance. The sun sets and the world falls back asleep. However, I remain in the light. I remain warm. I remain awake. Why do I need the sun, Mother, Father, When I have you?

I'm not sure about any specific shabads, but let me put it this way, Guru Gobind Singh Ji's horse wouldn't even walk through a tobacco field.

No way! there's one near a local mall where I live!

I've been trying to post a poll and every time I hit post or preview post I go to a screen that says Authorization Mismatch! and i can't post my poll any help?

True veerji.. But I meant that most of the time I read about domestic violence and Sikhs, its in Canada... But it happens everywhere, true that. I know domestic violence occurs everywhere in the community but it does seem that when it comes to murdering brides, Canada appears to have a disproportionate amount of cases. Guys, It's because Canada is where everyone in Punjab wants to be. Thats why people are willing to send their daughters to another family far away and hope that they'll be able come as well. It's situations like this that allow people to be manipulated and for tragedies like these to occur. I'm sure if the UK had similar immigration laws when it was the "hot spot" to go then the same things would be happening there!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Sangat ji for an assignment at school I need to create a program that replicates the automated tellers at gas stations. I wanted to do the gas station Khalsa Gas Station located in the toronto area. The problem is i need a logo for the front screen, and i can't find one. This is the closest I got, any help would be appreciated. http://flickr.com/photos/hartaarn/766569554/

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Ji I think its easy enough to use I think the only improvements it really needs are more streams and a small tutorial on how to install /use. hmmm.... i was wondering though...is there a way to update the gadget without a new reinstall? b/c then when there an akj rainsbhai it can be added on -only problem with that is it would require constant monitoring and you probably wouldn't want that.. maybe the ability to add your own streams? - that could be cool but may not be easy for those who don't know how to find a stream/add it...ne wayz its a great app, easy to use, the only thing it really needs is more streams.....I'll do a bit of searching and see if i can find any

Exactly, how was he gonna include every religion his speech.... Wow you have a ferrari! :o
