Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! This is slightly off topic but it has to do with respecting the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I know of a situation in Houston Texas where the Guru Granth Sahib is being kept in an innappropriate setting or under bad conditions, this family who is keeping the Guru Granth Sahib have refused to remove it from the premise after many people have asked them to, this concerns me and I feel helpless to do anything, can somebody please let me know if there is any organization or anybody i could contact about having the Sri Guru Granth Sahib removed from this bad environment.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Just be on the look out for Rennet which is from and animal source. Rennet is commonly found in chesse. It is the inner lining of the fourth stomach of calves and other young ruminants. A dried extract made from the stomach lining of a ruminant, used in cheesemaking to curdle milk. Other wise cheedar cheese does not contain any animal products. Hope that helps!

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! In my opinion I think hes just a front for the government so that they can look good on the outside but on the inside their still rotten, why would the congress party make a sikh PM, i dont buy it, they probably have something brewing :T: ! I think this new PM still needs to prove himself to the sikh community.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Hey, hey its CANADA, with a C not K, you dont want to be offending any canadians eh! :lol:

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! They say that Marriages are made in heaven and celebrated on earth, so it is my believe that who you marry has already been determined, it is your sanjogh. Hope that helps!

Awwwwwwwwww, this is the most sweetest story! Yet it is so true, so many parents spend more time working and forget who they are working so hard for! :yehyehyeh:

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! I know that Canada has a sikh population of over a half of a million.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! I found this poem on gursikhijeevan! Many threads have been written re: "Singh's" leaving their wives &/or kids. However, this is to give support to the women: "Why are you crying?" a young naujawan asked his mom. "Because I'm a woman" she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will".......... Later the little boy asked his daddy, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say........ The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to WAHEGURU JI; when He got on the phone, the man asked "O WAHEGURU JI, why do women cry so easily?" WAHEGURU said....... "When I made women she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort.... I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children...... I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone gives up and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining...... I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt them very badly....... This same sensitivity helps her make a child's boo-boo feel better and shares in their teenagers anxieties and fears....... I also gave her a tear to shed, It's hers exclusively to us e whenever it is needed. It's not her weakness, it is her strength.... It's a tear for mankind........." The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows! Womanhood is the strength of the Sikh Nation.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! In response to KKaur's question I would have to say that if you live in Toronto then you could go to dixie gurdwara where they teach a girls gatka/ self defense class, i've been and they have taught us how to do some knife work( self defense). Its a really good class, it takes place every sunday at 6:00pm- 8:00pm. If not i'm sure if you joined a gatka class in your local area or took any self- defense classes they could be of great help.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Its okay to wear fancy suits to the gurdwara but some people dont know where to draw the line. People dress like their going on to a party when they come to the gurdwara, I remember back in the day when people wore party suits, well at the parties, now I see them at the gurdwara which leaves me thinking what the hell do they wear at the parties ( thank god im not around to see). I see women wearing half sleeve, Ive even seen half salwar, people need to cover up and stop acting like they just jumped out of a bollywood movie. I wont be suprised if the next trend is bikini suits.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! I found another good poem from gursikhijeevan, please read! I am a Princess, I wear a Crown Don't let my Keshes go tumbling down Instead I keep them neatly wound Inside, beneath, my Keski, bound I am a Princess, I let it show I want everyone to know I am daughter of a King, and so I let 'each' one of my Keshes grow I am a Princess, I live in His Grace Fresh and clean without a 'common' trace I don't 'make up', cut, bleach, or paste I'm not a phoney, I have an 'honest face' I am a Princess, as royalty, I wear Bana With my breath do Simran, read Banee, learn Kathaa My hands help with Langar, do shoe Seva My hearts home is in my Fathers Castle, His Gurudwara I am a Princess, I keep Panj Kakar Precious gifts from Five Beloved Sevadar Weapons to help me fight 5 enemies, win the 'world' war I am a Warrior Princess, my name is Kaur (by a 'Gupt' Singhni)

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! I found this story on gursikhijeevan but thought it was something worth reading! The point I am going to make in this article is how Sikh women have changed in the past 300 years or more. We as being the daughters of Guru Gobind Singh Ji are very different compared to Hindu women and Muslim women. For example, when Guru Nanak Dev Ji appeared on the Indian scene, the place assigned to women was low and unenviable. The tyranny of caste had left its mark on Hindu women. They had resigned themselves to their miserable lot. A widow had to burn herself on her husband's funeral pyre to become a Sati (the ancient Hindu custom rejected by the Gurus). Also, the position of Muslim women was also far form satisfactory. A Muslim could lawfully marry four women, who were regarded chiefly as objects of gratification. Women were kept within Purdah (veil) and their education and movements were restricted. However, we as Sikhs have to be different. The Sikh Gurus gave women an equal status, which helped them gain social equality and religious freedom. The false notion that they were inherently evil and unclean was at last removed. Myself, being a teenage Amritdhari Sikh, living in this western society which some may say is corrupt as being the era of Kaljug (i.e. Dark Age), have seen all the things Sikh girls get up to. Yet, what our sisters of today forget is, how Sikh women in the past had fought to keep our Sikh identity alive! For example, Mai Bhago was the brave woman who led a battalion of 40 men in the battle of Muktsar, because t he men were afraid of dying. All of the accompanying women achieved martyrdom and were blessed by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Mai Bhago lived, and fought many more battles alongside Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Now you are probably confused thinking "What's all of this all got to do with me?" Well, the message I am trying to get across is, you should pray to achieve your ultimate goals because only YOU are capable of doing so, with the Guru's grace. I myself dislike it when people I don't know tell me what to do, but trust me (I know its hard to trust someone you don't know), but you only live once and you should make the most of your life by committing yourself to our one True Guru, i.e. take Amrit. If you think you are not prepared, at least try to take steps to get closer to your true identity and heritage. This is the time of Kaljug, whereby our lives will quickly pass like a dream, so try not to waste this precious Gift of Life before you realise it's too late. Guru Nanak Dev Ji sang the glory of women with all his heart, and these words are sung at all Sikh Gurdwaras everyday in Asa-Di-// to make sure no-one forgets:- Bhand jammee-ai bhand nimmee-ai, bhand mangan vee-aaho Within a woman, man is conceived: within a woman man is born. With a woman man is engaged and married. Bhand-ho hovai dosatee, bhand-ho chalai raaho With a woman man enjoys friendship, Through a woman the generations of life continue. Bhand mu-aa bhand bhallee-ai, Bhand hovai bandhann When a man's wife dies, he seeks another, Man is bound to a woman. So ki-o mandaa aakhee-ai mandaa jit jammeh raajaan Why call her bad, who gives birth to kings and rulers? Bhand-ho hee bhand oopajai, Bhand baajh no ko-i From a woman, a woman is born, without woman there would be no-one. Nanak bhandai baahraa ayko sachaa so-i Guru Nanak Ji says; the only one without woman is the one True Lord. Jit mukh sadaa saalaahee-ai Bhaa ga ratee char The mouth which ever praises the Lord, is very blessed and beautiful. naanak thae mukh oojalae thith sachai dharabaar ||2|| O Nanak, those faces shall be radiant in the Court of the True Lord. ||2|| The above quote clearly illustrates that we are the ones who will help the next generation through this time of Kaljug and the only way we will be able to this is by teaching them about Sikhi - the True Way of Life. However, to take on this great responsibility, we ourselves need to have the knowledge of to pass down. Let us SISTERS get together and show our brothers what we are really like, or if not, lets join them! Let's join our brothers in the Khalsa Panth and fight for what is truly ours and what we all deserve, our homeland - Khalistan! Let's get together and show them what we are REALLY capable of doing! But bear in mind this will only be possible if we pray to Guru Ji to give us the strength to fight back oppression and give us all that we need. In order to to this, we must keep our mind on one source - 'WAHEGURU' and with Guru Ji's blessings we can overcome all hardships and obstacles that life has to throw at us!! Written by Ishpinder Kaur (with the help of my sisters Sakhijinder Kaur and Sukhbir Kaur) [Please forgive us if we have seriously offended anyone or written anything that you know is wrong, and we hope you have taken away with you something meaningful in what we have written.] Daughters of the Khalsa, in your strength our future lies! Learn about the great spirit of which Sikhs possess, which no one could ever understand. This Spiritual Strength derives from Guru Maharaj (Guru Granth Sahib Ji). It's from Gurbani, Naam Simran, Seva and saacha pyar for the Guru. Give our children fearless minds to see the world through the Guru's eyes! Let our future brothers and sisters strive to become the Kh alsa and continue to inspire others by becoming noble, fearless and Chardi-Kala (high-spirited) Sikhs. Let them live up to the standards of those countless Sikhs who spilled blood and laid down their heads for the Khalsa to remain DISTINCT and in EVER-EXISTENCE! Dedicated to the sacred, gracious and benevolent memory of our Divine Father SRI GURU GOBIND SINGH SAHIB and our Divine Mother MATA SAHIB KAUR and those brave Sikh women, who suffered untold oppression in Mir Mannu's prison, who starved and suffered under force labour, and saw their little children cut to pieces, and flung savagely into their laps, yet they still upheld the dignity of Sikhi until their last breath. Their Immortal achievements remain an inspiration to us all for generations to come!! VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Sorry I think thats just your own views, its closed minded thinking like this that the "indian" community has put in the minds of young sikh women. I dont know about you but i'm pretty sure many sikh women dont come on forums to fall in love . The reason I think there arean't many young women posting or really active in learning more about sikhi is because in todays culture many girls are taken away from sikhi by western culture. Many seem more interested in what bollywood film is coming out next instead of things that really matter. In addition I am sure there are several young women who read posts on sikhsangat but just dont reply. For some reason girls fall prey to the pressures of society much more easily then boys (not that boys dont).

This is such a stupid topic, who cares if this women wants to wear a keski, what about all those men who sit around with a cigarette in one hand and and beer in the other and a huge pug on their head, I think whoever is making this petition is just some pompous sexist retard who has nothing better to do.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Shinda, i dont think you should be accusing gkaur of spreading rumors because I know people within the gurdwara and gurdwara committee that can verify all her information. I think it is great that diljot kaur took the iniative to contact the police station, but they really haven't given us any information that wasnt already known. But I think that everyone is missing the point here, why are we all focusing on this one break and enter when I know for a fact there have been 5, four of which at this point the police for some reason have not been made aware of, only one of the robberies is being investigated.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Much of this so called fingerpointing is quite justified,there is much reason to suspect the committee especailly becase the cameras were not apparently working on all the nights of the robberies, coincidence... i think not. Also why is the committee saying that they caught the people whenthe police say this is not true at all.....hmmm seems like a coverup to quiet the sangat. In addition why havent these robberies happen before when the old committee was in power it seems like the new committe has some splanin to do. Oh yeah and one more point why isnt the commitee making the sangat aware of these robberies, they are obvioulsy hiding something why must the sangat find out about these robberies from others. I wan to know why the committee did not have the golik money counted, usally after large programs such as weddings or kirtan by bhai jasbir singh the golik is filled up.... seems like a scheme to leave the money in the goliks for someone to easily steal.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Yes it is true the older son gave the interview therefore his picture was made avaliable but the younger son didnt give that interview.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! I think its great that your interested in the learning more about sant jarnail singh bhindrawale, but you should respect the privacy of both sons, pictues are not really necessary they do not need to be posted for all to see, these people also need to live their own private lives.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! What is really fishy is the fact that there are actually 2 cameras on each golik and they are all functional, one can see this if they go into the committee office, but on the night of the robberies they were mysteriously turned off...hmmmm, makes you wonder if there has been foul play by the new dixie gurdwara committee! In addition there have already been 5 robberis in less then a month but when the gurdwara was run by the old committe there was not even 5 robberies in 5 years. Why isnt the committee making a big deal out of this situation and why are they claiming that they have caught the culprits when the police say this is false, they are definitly hiding something! :T:
