By the way we can connect with god even with cut hair. The word rom means molecules, cells, building blocks. When we talk about roms we are talking about cells, so the thing about being sabat sorat is being the complete complexion the ancient vedic works taught that for yogis, saints who followed the bhagti marg like bhagat namdev or bhagat ravidas. As from the vedic mandates they refer to it as with the rom the naam goes forth. The point of kesh in sikhi is isht dev, so to know we belong with guru so where we go we are the appearance of guru nanak. The turban tradition was in the whole world but preserved by sikhs the most. Sikhs are under represented in the media if you can do anything about it, I will say take this time to make a youtube channel with your friends record anything, humour, drama etc. Show the world people like you exist.

Well the religious justification is we can trace the kesh maryada to guru gobind singh so some consider guru ji also had followers from other religions who did cut their hair. (however our history says gurus forbid cutting kesh even the rig veda says a full human is one who doesn't cut hair as the yogis, sadhus do). Also Guru Granth Sahib does not explicity forbid not cutting hair. We live in a majority abrahamic world christianity, judaism and islam abraham gave the order to trim hair, however also said keep it long with a beard however right now fashion is trimming it. Abraham expressed it as a duty to cut hair, so we live with a different tradition who imposes it's values on the majority, just like eating meat. So the argument is which is older and so forth. In many ways our failure to read the ancient indian traditions and our own to preserve our knowledge we can't quote rehats ourself. A sikh is a learner and a learner can be on several stages so they follow on to a certain level and some people are not ready to keep kesh. Others don't see the purpose for kesh. While some born into the sikh tradition might become athiests or another religion for others they like sikhi more then they follow some pieces of it and ommit others just like some are not read to keep a kirpan some won't keep kesh or others are not ready for amrit or not ready to wake up amrit vela or keep a kangha or kachera. Some are not ready to do nitnem. With the same logic for gurus giving kurbani we should wake up amrit vela do nitnem, not do nindya or chuglia and not gaze at the opposite gender lustfully or lie or cheat or steal or hurt others be pooran gursikhs. Well guru do kirpa, if we are rude to those who cut kesh they might leave to another religion or marry into another. We should be tolerant to everyone.

Yep do, but I think some of it is down to how terrible we kept our history and how bad of role models we are we should be living the sikhi and inspiring others. I think given time atheism or agnosticism will spread probably grandad kids won't be wearing paags. Give it some time muslims will realise the flaws of the faith more and more given time, most of them are indian/pakistan converts them lot are majority from our families the rest of the arabs who been muslims longer want to give it up. Others are looking for something else in life. Ninja is the far way away from gorris with mini skirts with no husband or kids, looking for cheap shags when parents kicked them out the house and the heart is empty.

This is ignorance at it's highest, we need to study our books harder go to suraj prakash and gyan ratnawali and puratan janamsakhis aswell as bhai gurdas ji vaaran.

The taksali calendar is more accurate however to work with the western calendar they have adopted the panthic calendar so the dates don't change.

kabadi!!! throw mud at each other, yoga, pressups, running, jogs, food, bare paath and bani. Singhs were 7ft tall, stress free and huge doing farming all day. Natural lifestyle, walking miles themselves. The milk was the stuff! probably bhangra is all we have now.

Yes upna getting weak these days. Train harder one more push up for the team! go team!

Eat more !!! get some full fat youghurt, full fat milk, a tub of icecream.

Put more time and attention into your paag, you will look more amazing! You can get naturally even bigger then he is! He can do way better. The only thing is if he was lifting heavy weights it would put strain on his face work that out, it look flat normal like no pain hence where the gain from?

Which one is better cardio or resistance? What training programme do you use? How long and how often do you work out? How much attention to diet and how much to exercise? Do you believe in power work outs for short term results or regular workouts? Do you believe in supplements? Does the gym or centre you use make a real difference, modern vs local? Can you work out for free or minimal costs? What do you think gets rid of the giani tid?

Can you upload suraj prakash granth translations into english: http://searchgurbani.com/sri_gur_pratap_suraj_granth

Even Ravan is worshipped in India and is a role model but what he stood for is more important then what he was, he stood for the vedas of brahma as did ram and sita, the path of the ramyan is the path of the vedas. Ravan made a huge mistake as a king to kidnap Sita. We have two gianis from 1984 giani zail singh and giani bhindranwale both stood for Sikhi, the path of Guru Gobind Singh ji is more important then the sikh, the sikh will have to give his life, to give the kurbani but the path is the same for all Sikhs. All guru di laal, with Gurus kirpa you have a path in life, a purpose. Be leaders of tomorow and be righteous, kind and merciful. Shastars are kept for self-defence not for offensive attacks we have some veers who may do such bhul but kalgidar dashmesh pita taught what is more powerful is the pen. We need to be very true to our sikhi, scholarly path. We need to be great sikhs, so we need to read more books, read more and more. Read more then others do, we need to spend time in libraries we need to be great scholars of the future.

Sikhs fought against afghans, mughals, hill kings, hindus, british so forth.. Guru Gobind Singh fought chamkaur with his sikhs we won many impossible battles but we have many more to win, sikh history has only began we have many empty pages to fill, we need to lead the way for others to a better world for tommorow. It was sikhs who made the south asian continent who created the states of pakistan, india and bangladesh. Sikhs who fought in ww1 and ww2. Other people capitalised and may still do, but everything is possible. Khalsa raj is very possible it starts from home first, it starts with becoming the best and watching the rest come to you. You know why sikhs lost to china and got battered a few times by pakistan it is because of the works of Sun Tzu go read his book http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu He is the greatest battle strategist in the world, even the earliest Sikhs learnt from others the arts we have lost a few things but we have many more to write and show others. We may not be as great diplomats as the greeks, romans and anglo-west is but we have to learn much and contribute much more, read about mandela, martin luther king (he was inspired by gandhi who was by baba ram singh who was by gobind Singh), go read about the best and become to the best, then lead the way for everyone. Success is a never ending journey, there is always a next go live your dreams. We have chapters to learn about diplomacy, we have more to read and more further to run. Everything is possible, to become a billionaire is possible, believe and you can make it happen. If you don't have gcses go get NVQs go study harder, work out harder, rest less pray hard. Show others the way, teach beckham how to play football, teach will smith how to act, teach arnold how to life weights, teach stephan hawkings the formulas which work, teach the best and be the best earn phds, become doctors life is short live your dream, don't waste it, work hard. Become CEOs, doctors, engineers, lawyers, physicists, scientists, actors, artists, sportsmen, show the future, work hard. Work even harder, this is between you and your guru work harder when you realise the meaning then of sikhi you will become guru gobind singh's guru as he said in sarbloh granth khalsa is his guru, when you realise naam guru nanak will be your slave and serve you, the whole universe will turn to you and as pooran khalsa you will lead others. Go learn from Obama, learn from people on these worldly matters on how to master. Guru Gobind Singh sent his sikh to study the vedas when they wanted to do that jatha is known as nirmala, we have even more to achieve and master.

Go become this guys role model first... how near are you to his fitness level? Or his education or media level?

Giani jarnail singh did not have an academic degree he was limited to sikh scriptures study and a giani in that and there is more to Sikhi then what giani knew in his time, we have found so many more books on sikhi more studies and more need to be written take that role model into the future. His knowledge of worldly politics and history limited however an example in his time and context indeed. You are in the west, where the levels of who and what you are is totally different. If you want to be a giani then fine he is a great example, but there is a limitation in that role model if you want to be an accountant, you can work with some of the words and applications of them. However you need to form the path and become the role models of tommorow, sikhi is with the satguru who is eternal. Even Guru Gobind Singh ji said "Whosoever shall call me the Lord, shall fall into hell.Consider me as His servant. In this do not have any doubt. " Bachitar Natak. Guru sahib taught his sikhs to be tyaar by tyaar in this day and age we work with knowledge and education. If you want to show the way to others and stand on a stage then be a true role model. When you don't have GCSEs what are you going to teach to masses of people with degrees only a few humble enough will come along. Guru Sahib was the highest of scholars in his day and age. Tara Singh was a flop, it's a complete joke to say he was anywhere near literate as jinnah, nehru or gandhi, you can accept master tara singh as your role model if you want, but a true sikh of guru gobind singh ji's will follow gurusahib and be a true scholar. To be a good politician is like being an expert in Law, the guy was clueless about legal theory and what the british could potential offer, he was not fit to represent the Sikhs even after independence we didn't have good leadership what will happen to our children if we don't change this. If you go to gym make yourself not behind anyone lift harder weights, run faster, work harder. While people are in the club, bar, flirting, raving, partying work hard, pray hard, do push ups, go read articles, do your homework, revise, study more, make more plans, think harder. Singhs in the past were the best not second to anyone, people from other faiths came to us, women of other religions wanted sikh men today it's the opposite, when you are the best in character, virtue, stature, position, personality and all other dimension then you will have raj. No one is going to give it to you, it is something you earn. Mate in Sikhi we don't believe in being born into anything like with the gurgaddi Guru Nanak Dev ji didn't give it to his sons, they were earned by Bhai Sahib Lehna who became Guru Angad Dev ji. In nature vs nurture some thing are inherited somethings you become, even the biological sons of kings become spoilt, people claw there way up, people work hard, if you look at loads of succesful people some came from nothing, rags they earnt it. Nehru, jinnah, iqbal and gandhi worked hard to stab people in the back. View on Vimeo.

If you read the rest of dasam bani you will see it says krishna got corrupted and lost the path. Prior to Krishna was the vedas, he followed the vedas written by brahma which go on and on about soma an intoxicating drink perhaps how they made alcohol something made of leafs near similar to bhang however made of different leafs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma Vedas keep saying how great soma is, you have to understand the poetic use. Now when you talk about intoxication in spirtual scriptures it is not literatal it is figurative, the word we use in gurbani would be naam or amrit. If you read some sufi works (the sufis cryptically hid the vedas into there own works so if you read something written by the poet hafiz or rumi or shams) the go on about wine, go to the wine shack get drunk, drink the wine. It is talking about amrit, the ecstasy inside. The amrit is in reality brewed in our blood not out of leafs or grapes. The amrit is the feeling of closeness to God. It is describing the thrill of prayer and feeling god. Guru nanak was asked for bhang and hooka-shesha by babur, and he refused saying he has an intoxication that lasts longer which is naam. Guru Nanak was born into the bedi family one of the greatest scholars of the vedas and guru sahib just like buddha and zoroaster were great scholars of the vedas. Zoroster influenced abraham, moses, jesus and mohammad. It is the spirtual divine connection or awe of God, the thrill in the eye the expression of the spirituality, the thunderstorm in all the neurons through the brain and the entire nerval system that goes through the whole body being compared to being drunk these are both neural sensation. Being drunk reduces the water in the brain hence gives a different neural response and sensation then to meditation. Meditation is healthy.

In whatever you do excell and become number one. We have shaheeds in sikhi worth looking up to like baba deep singh at 80 gave a beating to an undefeatable enemy, the afghans who even british and american's can't even beat and are just paying them off, even alexandra the great couldn't defeat them. Today sikhs are denied the history of ever defeating the Afghans no one could beat them, if it was today we would have no chance of even standing in a fight with afghans, those singhs of the past were the best in the world, the tallest, strongest men of the world bigger then arnold, more clever then einstein and we let them be forgotten in ourselves first and don't try be anything similar or even better, with all the technology of today we could even excel above them. Baba deep singh was a highly educated man in his time, he was of the highest of literacy. The shahheds of 1984 stood up when they had women being raped by police and others so forth however they are still under the shadows of baba deep singh and even sarbans daniye pita guru gobind singh ji who was a great scholar his pen was mighter then his sword, he was literate in great amounts a true polymath, had knowledge of philisophy, science, maths, many languages: persian, punjab, braj, arabic, hindi, sanskrit and more. Go get a degree and work in top companys, if you own a business go become a billionaire company or get near, don't be second best. You will get nothing in motivating kids into gangs and reliving illiteracy, if you don't even get gcses no one will respect you, do something which will earn the respect of others all around you. Work hard, blood, sweat and tears, work as hard as you want to breath. Live the meaning of kirt karna, kirt karna is as important as naam simran. To work hard is a prayer of it's self. If you really care about politics and 1984 go do a degree or masters in politics no one will care about what you have to say unless you are qualified in that field. see this one: http://www.city.ac.u...tional-politics No Singhs or Kaurs bother with deeper education, how many of the never forget 1984 have phd's in political fields you could write papers, books, videos. Get into the best investment banks, companies, law firms, what ever you do be the best. People all of kaums in the new generation majority have degree bscs, bas etc. even Masters ma msc etc. Most upna going on and on about 1984 don't even have gcse's no one is going to respect them or bother listening to them, before people listen to your parchar they look at your credentials it gives more worth to your word if you are educated, rich/succesful and professional. Giani jarnail singh was illiterate however in damdami taksal's school he was the best of all gianis, the gandhis had degrees. Look at 1947 nehru, jinah and gandhi all went to the uk got degrees from abroad and for sikh representation a new convert who didn't even have year 10 test done master tara singh highly illiterate and most of the people on our stages are illiterate how many degree holders do you even see controlling gurdwaras. It is never to late to go into education, no matter what age you are, there are other ways into university even through btec, avce, apprenticeship, part-time, correspondence and foundation degrees and you can always change your profession. Still you can always pick up a book and learn. You can open youtube channels and record your messages, today majority of people who are not-sikh think 1984 is a complete joke, sikhs have become a joke not by the doing of bollywood but by our own doing. Work Hard singhoo, give a high name to your gurus, your land, your family, your friends.. You need somewhere to stand and your education is for life, sikhi means to learn and education is the path. Become the best everyday learn something new, talk to someone that helps you, read something that helps you achieve your goals and become the best in what you do.

Anyone want to work together? perhaps we can use a xml parser to give things of gurbani searching websites like www.srigranth.org, www.sridasam.org, www.sikhitothemax.com and www.searchgurbani.com maybe we could do a webmashup. Could do the design of the classes to program, maybe we should setup an opensource group have all the programmers work together. Design some of the classes, objects, methods and attributes. Perhaps we could have a look at other similar existing programs to get a clue of the type of program we want maybe even things designed for other religions and so forth get some tips on programming techniques. Could feed in an entire pdf and bookmark it at some points or split it to work with the database to search it maybe using sql. Could link it to audio as well maybe mahankosh. Or on the go loading using better fonts. We could work with better font styles. Maybe provide source code for easy adaptation to all platforms or could leave it a webformat to load into an applet. Design for blackberry, iphone and android platforms. Even the sikhitothemax.com can be fixed up if they made it opensource... it has a few bugs that can be fixed. Well if you feed in an entire akhan paath we could make a program to play a select amount for an ang or tuk of bani. Does anyone have suraj prakash granth would really want to do something with that maybe a search engine. Could get a few tips off http://bible.cc or http://quran.com/

Check out the vishnu puran.

So ask yourself the opposite how can you set up a nation full of illiterate people, even muslims when in decline had a brahmin convert by the name of iqbal who was the ideological father of pakistan worked hard to educate youths. If we think sikhi is about living in pindhs without international representation then you are mistaken you will be easily attacked without being tyar by tyar and that is with knowledge. Before you ask for khalistan go read the entire bhai santokh singh's suraj prakash granth from start to finish. Many of the educated youths with degrees have come to a conclusion religion and politics only causes war and bloodshed and for peace they do not get involved, while many of the mics of our stages are taken over by illiterates in heavy numbers. Guru Gobind Singh was one of the greatest scholars of his time and called many scholars from world over. We have gone backwards to fakiri situation. Sikhi is in decline because of sikhs themselves, also sikhi is more chardi khala then many other faiths abroad look at this website. But the solution is not giani bhindranwale he started something but it doesn't lie in going back to his time. It is about taking the tradition into the future. Khalistan will create more problem for sikhi, it was sparked off by muslims heavily to divide people, kill and force them to convert. Don't forget what guru nanak started the siphia warrior side of sikhi was self-defence, sikhi is a spirtual path. We have websites, which preserve so much knowledge we have become slaves near to blacks, we lost libraries of knowledge. Knowledge is power, without education and the mastery of it no civilisation can exist.

loool they are using gurdas mann tune from challa, well we know all these pirs that came into india were all practing stuff from rumi who learnt from shams which used indian theology like buddhism, zorostrainism and hinduism, they were trying to convert people in funny ways. Lets organise more sikhi things in pakistan, we can do more kirtans invite more muslim singers who have good raag. Only a matter of time he pulls out a quran and gets people to abadon guru granth sahib. Sikhi teaches respect for sufism but people like that do not have fully satkar joy for sikhi themselves to bow to a bemukh will make you a bemukh. We can respect them so we can bring them into sikhi ourselves. Guy looks like another baba we have, most don't really care about stuff. The thing is people have lost hopes in life and seek shortcuts in spirtuality. Guru Nanak gave the entire definiton of spirtuality in his bani, this guy could probably learn a few things himself. It is a failure of some parcharaks, raagis and gianis to connect to masses, guru nanak brought people away from babas, doubts and superstitions he brought the entire realm of freethinking. If people want to test this guy debate him, sit and have discussions why just bow to him or anything else, go learn from them. The 2nd video is a typical punjabi wedding it happens every where in the world even gursikh weddings have that happening these days and if you talk to people about them, they will try give you a beating. The only thing you can do is try make such an auspicious occasion more spiritually oriented and try play nicer songs as for the drunk uncle if you can't get rid of them, just give them another room and don't film them. Tell them they are vip they will not ruin it as a family event. Challa still better
