  1. please study George Orwell's 1984, and also please do research of Manu and the Indian Caste System After this, please look at various forms of discrimination in your local society, such sources that are useful include Sikhcoalition and others If you wish to delve further, check out the Zeitgeist movie, or research into the Genocides of history. After doing all this, one should see a very obvious pattern. The fact that 'system's of mass control and manipulation successfully pass on to subsequent generations. This human conditioning is manipulative and continues to be imbedded in those individuals, groups, cultures that do not practice rationalism and self-discrimination (the only type of discrimination that is effective at ridding someone of habits and addictions, and external human conditioning) Regards
  2. This is a disease in society that must be rid, we must learn to shed thousands of years of human conditioning, assimilation and religious, cultural proselytism. Divider we fall...
  3. We are bound to the mother earth. Of the earth, we arise and are an ensemble of mostly water, air, and cellular flesh. As we are bound to the cycle of birth and death, so are we bound to the daily cycle of day and night. Research suggests that there are a variety of important things that occur at night. Firstly our brain waves switch predominantly to the lowest delta frequencies: Meditation is almost at the level of Delta waves. Those who arise early and sincerely meditate, they can make up for hours of lost sleep with deep meditation. The brain waves are not the only thing that alter at night. There is a variety of re-dox systems that are enhanced at night, as well as neuro-endocrine axis. The body repairs DNA, musculature, nervous system, amongst other things. The body is in a constant state of growth, breakdown, and repair (sustenance).

  5. That is fine indeed, however, as the post states, it is isoflavones that affected or impacted the bodies hormonal axis negatively, soy v. animal protein did not with modern refinement techniques, a high quality soy product should minimally contain isoflavones, it appears it would be prudent to examine products for this in particular, anyhow, in terms of lacto-veg soy would make a minor part of the overall diet anyhow, for vegans, soy as a supplement can be further supplemented with Rice protein which has higher levels of EAA, BCAA
  6. A recent research conference up in LA, a few major manufacturers from the natural foods industry were there making presentations. One of the major points they continually hit on is the expanding Soy Protein market, and the barriers to entry due to misinformation. A ton of studies that have been done that show absolutely no affect in testosterone or estrogen levels in males or females when using a Soy Protein Isolate. The studies were done against Whey Isolates, Soy, and a placebo, and the results that came back in terms of testosterone and estrogen levels were all exactly the same with no variations in any of the groups. They also discussed the apprehension in females considering Soy proteins due to potential carcinogens leading to breast cancer. There have been no studies that have shown any sort of conclusive results in humans whatsoever that link Soy protein to breast cancer; a few studies that were conducted in pharmaceutical laboratories with lab animals were the basis for these conclusions, but the amount of material introduced into the test subjects far exceeded the highest level of human consumption for the material. Soy protein is a cheaper, ecologically sound, and now a widely available dairy alternative, with an amino profile that is easily comparable to whey proteins. Only 5% of the current supply of Soy products is used for human consumption; the other 95% of the material is being used as animal feed. With the growing costs and demands for dairy products, Soy will become increasingly more and more popular and widely used. i hope that is true the information that you posted there. but i have my doubts. try reading up information from independant studies. and not research conducted by a soy protien foods manufacturer. independant research is far less likly to be bised as opposed to soy protien foods manufacturer who sells the product. I have read numerous studies in regards to the various proteins, amino acids etc. If I took the time to post them here, It would go over people's heads. please view the site for other information. The bottom line is milk proteins are the highest quality proteins, but soy taken as an additional form of protein in the diet in moderate amounts does not significantly affect blood hormone levels to any extent that is significant, especially in those individuals who regularly exercise. An example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15749623 One has to be very specific about the population of interest, the exact item provided (soy protein) as opposed to (isolated isoflavones), and then determine the effects if any on any particular outcomes. If there are any studies that I have not considered, please provide links as I can obtain full access, and I can research and provide more updated information
  7. Each day when there are few of us trying to help people overcome this exclusionary speak, there are posts like these, that just reaffirm that we are not living up to the high values necessary. Whenever we sink to the low levels of energy, we come to a full stop, and we raise those who we judge and discriminate. Gurmat is free of our biases, we are merely guides along the way. If we wish to be guides, we must speak sweetly and act calmly. Yes, indeed this individual struggled with being Keshdari. So be it, now let us get in contact with the individual and see if the individual has any interests in helping out other youth by contributing to having Sikh Coalitions around the world. We are all liable to the rules that Chitr and Gupt will read our accounts for.

  13. Dear Ji, whenever Indian film or documentaries are published, they often portray still images of the Guru's Only, and do voice over of what the Guru Ji said. If we do not heed the warnings given by the Guru's, may I remind you of the story of Ranjit Singh "Guru Gobind Singh Ji said that no one should make a Gurdwara in his name. The person who breaks this commandment, none of his kith or kin or descendants will survive." We saw what happened in the Semetic world when Christ was portrayed in the Passion of the Christ. I believe whomever decides to break this warning of the Guru's, they themselves should be aware of the great risk that they take in doing so. The consequences unbeknown to us. I believe the Vismaad Productions has made efforts to make 3-4 animated films, and they discussed this others to make sure they were in line with Gurmat. We should support them to make films in a similar fashion, and if they decided to go back in time from 1469 to 1708, I am sure they would incorporate still images and voice overs only. If someone does otherwise, I am afraid most Sikhs would veto such an effort. In regards to the mass media message: I am reminded of this story http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Baba_Atal_Rai Guru Ji stated also, that Sikhs should not convince others by miracles. They should live up to the high Saintly values, and remain in High Spirits and not use miracles to convince others. In the same way, Guru Gobind Singh Ji during battle time stated to his Sikhs, that "If God wanted, He could send legions of armies to battle by our side". This is our True challenge in this age, to live to the High values of Gursikhi.

Please read here: http://sikhinspiredfitness.forums-free.com...lit=rennet#p722 If you don't trust the product, email the manufacturer, for example: *Here is an email from a manufacturer that I get my supplements from: "None of the cheese processes that our whey is made from uses animal enzymes rennet. VP Sales/Marketing" If you are purchasing online, look for these symbols: for vegetarian or lacto vegetarian for Vegan K = Kosher, which means that it if it is a vegetarian product, it does not have any animal byproducts in it H = Halal, which means that if it is a vegetarian product, it has no animal by products in it that otherwise have not been killed in the muslim method Whey Protein is Lacto-Vegetarian, Final Answer
  15. Ji, it is often just labels that we get so caught up with. It is much more poignant just to state that there are 'non-practicing', and 'practicing' Sikhs. The rest of the definitions are merely place keepers for law books and dictionaries. True, and un-true do not hold any significance to Spiritual practice of Sikhi. If one desires to get blessings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, all Sikhs are guided inwardly and outwardly by asking single mindedly from the Guru. We are not here to judge, but to provide guidance. If we can not provide guidance, do not use low energy ideas and concepts... It's all arrogance of a type. Close-mindedness so complete, mental prisons so tight, we don't even know we're locked up. Sure, it's only natural that you consider yourself the center of the universe. We need to collectively realize that we are not going to magically change or alter the Spiritual journey of any individuals. ie. Kis di anak jagadani, Satguru Janne. Here Gurbani explains, what can be placed into the vessel of that person, which is turned upside down. Gurkirpa may be overflowing like rivers and streams, but even then the pot can not collect. - Exact source unknown as I have found various Sakhis referring to various Guru's, but available via Sikh history websites Is there anything that 'we' can do to provide a spark that will allow this person to turn their own pot upside down, and thus make it into a collecting vessel? No, absolutely not. 'We' implies that the human being has the capacity to affect change in the Universe around them, but in reality this is Ego, Edging God Out. But let me explain further... Where there is goodness, ie. Good = Go*d + *o, where there are the qualities of God on earth, manifest through Sewa, Simran, Kirat and many of the positive qualities that Gurbani imbibes on the various Beings, there where there is Good there is God and in essence the Aura that is created in such environments is capable of slowly tilting that Kaudi, inch by inch. This is why in Gurdwara's, where committees and preachers attempt to 'Force' the message of Gurbani upon others it merely strikes the upside down Kaudi and leaves a loud noise. Who is attracted to loud noise? The one who's Kaudi has been struck, strikes back... Where there is generosity, compassion, and the timeless aura of God-qualities, there no human exists, although they are physically present as a conglomeration of atoms and compounds. This is why the Sadh Sangat is praised for its unique powers. Ultimately, this group of individuals with their paddle, will be floated across the terrifying world ocean when the Guru accepts them and provides a ticket. So where does that leave our reaction to the actions of all that is ill in the world? Yes, let's encourage, be compassionate, loving, caring, and sharing. Let the experience the qualities of God, of Good in the world that is not necessarily of us. We come from a Natural Source of these things, it is not us, it is the Source of all giving and being. Let us take steps in such a manner that we inspire the values of service, community involvement, self reflection, aspiration, education, and all such things. Sikh Dharma is of higher values, do not let yourself be dragged down.
  16. Gurfateh Web Goer's, I am in search of Esoteric Sikh knowledge, so I thought I would begin a thread to get things going. If there is anything that you have heard, know of, and Inspires you (perhaps its a link to something to read somewhere on this site, a book, a mp3 file you listened to, word of mouth) it doesn't matter - So long as you cite the source. Please provide whatever Esoteric Knowledge that is available unto you. :1singh1: To get things started I will give an example: - During the time when Dasmesh Pita was in battle, various Singh's were struggling to keep faith with the insurmountable odds. Dasmesh Pita responded: "If God desires, He could send legions of armies to be by our side" (Source: I BELIEVE, that I read this during my Sikh history studies, but can no longer find the source -if someone know's please post) See, it's very easy. It can be short, interesting, whatever, so long as you state the source it will be interesting! :2singh2:
  17. Of all of us Harkirat Ji appears to have done the most reading... Also add: Left to Tell - How I discovered God amidst the Rwandan Genocide by Imaculee Ilibigiza

  22. It is essentially figurative, and a reflection of fair accuracy. In my phylogenetics course it was debated as to how many species are, and have been on the planet. It is guestimated that current estimates state that there are approximately 10 million types of species, up to 50 million types of species of beings on the planet. With Beetles making up almost 1/5th of the total variations of types of species. OVer the course of earth history, this may have varied due to extinctions etc. Surprisingly in one of JanamSakhi's, Guru Nanak is known to have stated that the Moon is approximately 232 000 miles from the Earth. The moon in reality in its non circular orbit can be anywhere from 222 000 to 252 000 miles from the earth These fairly accurate values represent means, or standards that can be taken as approximate to Truth to understand the metaphorical concept. - Information from Science and Sikhism
  23. There is one Singh in Bradford who is a full fledged officer in York there is another Singh from leeds who works in FOrensics in Leeds,
  24. I did that when I arrived in LEeds, being Canadian we are more friendly than the UK type. The first few Singhs just gazed at me like what planet I am from. Then randomly one day I met a Singh on a train, and finally met Sangat in this dreaded country Now this dreaded country is not so dreaded. Always Greet Singhs Gurfateh!
