hahahaha but yeah... i've read that you acquire these things as time goes on... in some cases, you don't even know you possess them... i in fact KNOW of one person who was ACTUALLY in two places at the same time, but that person had NO idea that such a thing even occurred (i.e, suddenly had to go abroad for a month, but came back, and people were acting as if nothing even happened..in fact were making comments about work this person had supposedly done during the month when this person was gone)

if scrolling was set to "yes", would that mean that we'd be able to scroll using the wheelbutton inside the scrolling news? if so, can that be done, cuz sometimes you just catch the very last of the news item when you glance over, then you gotta waeit till the scroll reaches that point again.... kinda bothersome! hehe

this is probably something that's going to vary from person to person.... depending on their own interpretations and experiences in bani.. some people won't efel right no matter what..if alcohol is involved they will not ever take a pill because they feel that it would be wrong of them as Guru's Sikhs to take it. others will feel different.. i for one also think that if it's medication, it's okay.. you're trying to limit your pain and suffering, and if it means that you can do more baani/naam/seva because ofi t, then i'm all for it... but i know people who feel that alcohol is alcohol, kureiht is kurehit no matter what the situation.. kinda like removal of hair for emergency surgery... alot of people point to baba kartar singh ji bhindranwallay (i think...vaheguru, confusing between baba gurbachan singh ji), who refused to be operated on because it would have meant the removal of his kesh, and he died from his injuries. OF COURSE, that quickly resorts to a mudslinging match of "what, you think you're better than sant ji that you think it's okay to remove kesh for life/death purposes?".... haha, but all in all, it's going to vary from person to person..

jasssa bhaaji i haven`t been a part of this discussion, but for a reader's persepective, can you respond to Bijla Singh? I thought his post was very well thought out, and it'd be nice to have your response to it. Vaheguru

:wub: thanks tarrandeep bhanji! nice read. just one thing.. i've talked to some gursikhs about that line "rehat piyaara mujh ko, sikh pyaara naahe" (because i think naahi is spelled with a sihaari, not a bihaari on the "haahaa").. most translations imply that guru sahib's saying that he holds love for rehit, not for the sikh. and i've been told that the word "naahe" is a form of the word "nayho" like dedicated love... "munn aisaa nayho kareyho" "jiss pyaaray sio nayho, tiss aggai mar chaleeyai" in other words, Guru Sahib Ji is saying I have love for the rehit but I have TRUE love for the sikh also, where is that line from, bhaekh piaaraa naahi mam varan piaaraa naahi || rehith piaaree moh ko sidhak piaaraa aahi ||45|| It's real nice! thanks for writing that. vaheguru

he knows he`s great it's probably a mental ploy to make India's younger players think "Good..he's afraid of us.. we're inside his head"... it's done in nroth american sports all the time.. coaches of better teams continuously saying "that team is very strong, they've got some hidden talents and they can beat any team in the league" about teams that are clearly inferior.. it's gamesmanship, he'll be fine

I've never been told otherwise... I've alaways been told and taught that bhagauti = God The old controversy used to be that Bhagauti was a Hindu goddess, why would Guru Nanak do simran of Bhagauti first before anything? reason is that Guru sahib has repeatedly used names of Hindu gods/goddesses for the sole purpose of referring to Akaal.

ocelot. the nature of Guru`s Bani is Metaphorical rarely are there lines that are meant to be treated 100% literally. example cwir pwv duie isMg guMg muK qb kYsy gun geIhY ] chaar paav dhue si(n)g gu(n)g mukh thab kaisae gun geehai || With four feet, two horns and a mute mouth, how could you sing the Praises of the Lord? I can`t speak for you, but i don't have four feet, and two horns, and my mouth is fully capable of speaking. so why is guruji comparing me to a bull? because so much bani is metaphorical and analogical. Guruji also compares me to a dog... guruji also tells me i'm a worthless insect. but really, i'm a human being... is guruji wrong? why does guruji change me so many times? guruji uses multiple analogies in gurbaani... how is the word "mann" good AND bad? eh man chanchula!!!! oh you crazy mind and then just one pauri later eh man piyaariyaaa!!! oh my sweet mind.... why? same word, two different contexts? this is the case... bhagauti CAN mean sword. bhagauti CAN mean God. isn't itpossible?

Some practice inner cleansing teahniques, and control the breath through Kundalini Yoga. I am meek; I worship and adore the Lord, Har, Har. ||1|| I place my faith in You alone, O Beloved Lord. I do not know any other way. ||1||Pause|| Some abandon their homes, and live in the forests. Some put themselves on silence, and call themselves hermits. Some claim that they are devotees of the One Lord alone. I am meek; I seek the shelter and support of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2|| Some say that they live at sacred shrines of pilgrimage. Some refuse food and become Udaasis, shaven-headed renunciates. Some have wandered all across the earth. I am meek; I have fallen at the door of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3|| Some say that they belong to great and noble families. Some say that they have the arms of their many brothers to protect them. Some say that they have great expanses of wealth. I am meek; I have the support of the Lord, Har, Har. ||4|| Some dance, wearing ankle bells. Some fast and take vows, and wear malas.

dancing warrior you just replied to a girl. you sinful human being (note: said with HUGE sarcasm)

haha sahejdhari, it's not quite hating it's criticism you've proposed an idea to a forum when a corporation holds an executives meeting and new ideas are tabled, those ideas are subject to criticisms, you have to point out flaws and weaknesses in ideas in order for them to become stronger. the situation here is that your idea has flaws that people are trying to expose for you so that your original idea is maximized. ...that, and we blatantly disagree with the pretense of the idea (and me, though i'm a guy...KINDA offended by terming "all punjabi girls" as sluts)

WWWWOOOOOWWWWWWWW

Which one makes you feel closer to God? Which one makes you forge a stronger connection with that same Guru? Which one makes you wanna do more seva? Which one makes you do more naaam japping in a day? whichever one you choose to answer the questions, then THAT one is the right way :wub:

i've got one, but it' snot online wanna PM me your email addy?

Guys, stop making fun british sikh lad is making a serious point, and i for one, agree with him I've stopped wearing running shoes because many of the materials can be found to have been produced or grown in the middle east..... And those middle-easterners have generally read harry potter like..8 or 9 times..so they know how to put spells on things.... I'm convinced that all running shoes are bewitched.... I've also stopped wearing anything that even remotely appears like cotton. Finally, i dno't drive anywhere anymore. Middle Eastern Oil is bewitched to make me convert. I wish you'd take these threats more seriously guys.

guys.. handing in your resume's/cv's isn't gonna do anything.. you really think you're that good that some manager's gonna see yours over everyone else's? chances are, your resume looks EXACTLY like the other 100 that he's gonna receive. the trick to getting noticed is to keep calling back HARRASS them! don't worry about their feelings ANNOY THEM BLIND, until they give you an answer one way or another! it shows you really want the job... be professional, of course, but be persistend... when i say annoy them, i don't mean be a 5year old.. i mean.. get on their case to make sure they notice you... there's no hope in just giving in your credentials.

hehe akirtghan, i was gonna point out the exact same thing.. but i figured the instinctive argument would jus be "but those are songs, not gurbaani", and i didn't feel like getting into that hahaha... enjoy :umm:

hahaha they deleted the two posts that asked em to not associate singhs with whiskey.... mine and the one before mine hahahah and they were both polite.... report the group or just let it go?

pheena... wheres that from "we often get in our own way by swimming against the current, let us learn how to float" is that from a story found in a magazine that used to be published.. i forgot the name ofi t.. but yeah..

i had some friends convince me to do it with them in high school... they tried convincing me with "don't worry man, there's no tobacco in it, it's not bad for your lungs" but yeah.. that's my story.. i dunno if it does have tobacco or not, but i've haerd it's also tobacco fre

they are both ten beats, both sool faakta and jhaptaal. Sool: dha titikut din na, din din da da ti ta (4 , 6) jhap taal din na, din din na, ti ta, din din na (2,3, 2,3 or 5,5) you can't cleanly play sool faakta in 5 beats unless you just double the speed, but it doesn't change the original motivation of the tal which is 4,6

IF this is a fake post then thank you! reading this should make us remember the own trials and tribulations we went through growing up as sardars, facing the oppression and bullying of the other kids in our classes. But we were strong enough to get through it! remember your victories, no matter how small. YOU survived, and if this story is a fake, let it at least remind you that, yes, YOU are strong enough to take on anything faith-related...if you can withstand 10 years of bullying about your looks and your religion from other kids, you can pretty much handle anything. a quote i once heard... as a child of God, you are gifted with the strength and abilities to overcome any challenge that presents itself to you.

get an account. pm me. we've got some discussin to do! the fact taht you wanted to post here shows that not only are you still unhappy, you want to be happy , AND you wanna be happy through sikhi.

I was listening to the sports radio statino this morning, and the guy made a goodp oint. if chris benoit was a 32 year old accountant who killed his wife and son, and spent 2 days with their dead bodies before finally taking his own life, that man would be considered an evil monster by society, a cold blooded murderer. but instead, Chris Benoit is being treated and covered like a victim of sorts. Not saying i have an opinion either way, but it was an interesting view to hear on the radio.

Truth, all of it and then, we get surprised when the learned members decide never to come back, or when people like me who are trying to learn get so damn frustrated that we jus take off. and it's for the better. Try so hard to create a positive atmosphere for younger kids, for some reason we think we're the only right ones, and it's despicable... we all wanna be the role model, that's the big problem... we fail to realize that it takes a role model to stand back and listen to someone else's point, and maybe acknowledge that they're wrong... no human's meant to be perfect, and accepting responsibility for being wrong is an act of high character. But no one's willing to go that far, hell no one's even willing to coexist. No matter how many efforts go through to create such an atmosphere, it always goes for naught. and people think we can freaking control a whole country on our own....... we can't stop arguing about stupid things like if a girl is a kaur or if it's wrong to call her a singhnee, and we think we can control international trade, and protect our borders... absolute bull. We're practising with pebbles, and we still somehow act surprised when a boulder comes down a hill and runs us over, wondering why we weren't more prepared. So Din Aavan Laaga, is really all i can say. You will die. then how much of your krodh and bickering was worth it? I don't care about topics going off topic in a fun spirit (other than it being annoying), but when it ends in stupid trivial argument, that's a painful feeling. So to each your own, live your own lives, prove to yourself that you're the greatest gursihk in the world and you're never wrong. and hopefully along the way, something happens that makes you grow up. Shukar Hai, Vaheguru
