Fateh parwaan karro ji, http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Environment/Akal-Takht-Sikhs-to-go-green/articleshow/4823856.cms Jalandhar , July 26 Akal Takht Jathedar Gurbachan Singh today appealed to Sikhs all over the world to work for the environment and focus specially on cleaning natural water resources. Addressing a function held at Sultanpur Lodhi on the anniversary of the project to clean the holy rivulet Kali Bein the Jathedar of the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, said members of the community should do their bit in improving the environment rather than constructing big Gurudwaras."The community should focus more on cleaning and maintaining natural water resources rather than building new big Gurudwaras,"he said emphasising that to care for the environment is the moral and religious duty of everyone. Guru Rakha

Fateh parwaan karro ji, Only those students who have taken admission on Sikh Quota in a College that has this Quota can be stopped from plucking his beard or for that matter tampering with his Sikhi swaroop. Otherwise I do not think an Indian University can do this or for that matter will bother to do this. Guru Rakha

Fateh parwaan karro ji, Jarnail Singh was in Baru Sahib (Himachal, India) and he really impressed everyone with his humility and love for Sikhism. He has a flowing beard and his wife wears a Keski. SGPC while honoring him offered him a job, but he veery rightly refused the job as he did not want to make his deed to look like a deed for gain. I hear the Newspaper he worked for has terminated him. With Congress coming back to power this was expected. Chidambram, at whom he threw the shoe, put and end to the matter for poliltical gian but seems he has not forgiven Jarnail Singh Ji. Please also do keep in mind that Chidambram was the Minister of State for Home when the riots took place. I feel the Sangath should stand by him. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Gurbani says : Holi kiini sant sev, ragh laaga att lal dev. Problem today is Holi has been reduced to troubling people and drinking Bhang. Compare these with the Hola Mahala celebration in Anandpur Sahib: 18,207 units of blood were collected at Anadpur Sahib There's a very telling photograph of two Nihangs applying color on each other.... very very degnified. I'll try to get it and post it in my next post. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Well I feel like the Jews we too are the 'chosen ones'. I think we make people suffer from an inferiority complex and so they attack Sikhi. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Very correct. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, I totally agree they should keep Gurbani out of their politicking. I recall sometime back there was an Akali ad in which the singer sings ' logaan noo hai Badal utte Rabh jehaa wishwaas' ( people trust Badal like they trust God). Proves that when people get power they start feleing like God. I had at that time protested in various Forums on this ad, to no avail. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, A huge number of Afghan Sikh Refugees live in Delhi. There were many more a few years back but many migrated under the Amnesty offered by UK etc. Now there's been a trickle of Hindu refugees from Pakistan as the Taaliban there have made life difficult for them. Yes I feel India needs to offer these refugees citizenship. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, No you should not got to a Mandir. Ask your Mom why does she want you to go to the Mandir? I'm sure many on this Forum will help you out in reasoning with her once you post her reasoning. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Today SGPC may have become the spawning ground for Punjab politicians and today many say its in the control of Badals. But in the olden days when the Rehat Maryada was arrived upon the situation was different. http://sikhiwiki.com/index.php/Rehat_Maryada_(Full) All the Rehatnamas were studied by the Committees and only those Rehats that stood the test of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji were included. Today there are quite a number Rehatnamas viz. AKJ, Taksal etc. I feel Sikhs should sit down and ensure that there is only one Rehat Maryada. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Aurangzeb has decreed that no non Muslim could keep birds like Falcons , ride horses or wear kalgis. This was the reason why Guruji kept a Baaz and wore a kalgi. On hunting ..... in those days Lions and Tigers took a human toll and were considered enemies of mankind. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, In Sukhmani Sahib Ji Guruji has spelled out who is a Brahamgyani. Sant Attar Singh Ji, Bhai Vir SIngh were Brahamgyanis. Anyone who claims he is reincarnation of Guru Gobind Singh Ji is not telling the truth. I would term this a blasphemy. May Guruji save us from falling prey to Deras and Babas. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Came across this on the Net: Guru Rakha

Oh! It all makes sense now...... Fateh Ji, It is Right to Information and this right is available in all Democracies. It gives you the right to get answers form the Government and it is mandatory for the Government to disclose the information asked for. However certain matters of National importance are kept out of the purview or RTI. However when one is very hungry one could decipher RTI as Roti Tandoori Init? Guur Rakha

Fateh Ji, This shows that you know nothing of what happens in India. You also underrate the Islam factor. I think someone has already used the RTI route and I think there should be some clarity very soon. It's indeed sad that people jump to conclusions... why not wait and see what AMU has to say! Please keep the powder dry for some more time. Either you will get a chance to use it or the findings will self-pour water over the powder! Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, You should ask this Parcharak to elaborate as to how he has come to these conclusions. I feel this Parcharak has made some sweeping statements. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Urdu/ Punjabi..... please do decide! As per my info its in Persian, and I feel this is right because during that time Persian was widely used. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, I understand that the original is in a different language. Maybe its been quoted in other books. People's biases do show up in their responses. Just a search for a document should not elicit such a response. Sometimes I feel the age of all those posting messages should be reflected, because sometimes we could be responding to kids who are just out to have fun and laughing a lot. One way of getting to the truth is by using the Right to Information Act. And Aligarh University has this on its Website. And on parallel lines Sikh Organizations put pressure for answers. Guru Rakha

Colour by numbers and Yogic Tantra reanimation. :rolleyes: Fateh Ji, Seems this gentleman is just trying to trivialize this discussion. He's not willing to let us know on what has he based his judgment and he's not even let us know as to which book was he looking for in search of this document. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, I'm sorry my questions remain unanswered. Is this the reason for the trivializing. And I don't think this book will be available over the shelf. And I cna think of quite a few reasons for its disappearance and I've mentioned a few in my previous posts. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, 1/ But you have not elaborated on your findings on which you have based your judgment 2/ I have already mentioned in a previous post about the missing pothis and books from Darbaar Sahib. It is rumored that the Army took these during Blue Star. If I give the Indian Army a call will they agree that the books are with them? Aligarh University is a Muslim University and please do realize where Aurangzeb is a tyrant for us he is a devout Muslim for Muslims. 3/ NCERT books that have been prescribed for schools in India have a stamp of Indian Communists. There were lot of distortions about Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji and during NDA's stint these distortions were removed. It is possible that Commies in the garb of research for NCERT books were able to get their hands on this book and not 'its history'. All that I am saying is that there should be a thorough investigation. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Please could you elaborate on your research based on which you have passed your judgment. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, Do you have any instances where SGPC has withheld or misinformed the Panth on such issues? I do understand that many Sikhs are disturbed about Akali Dal or more specifically Badal's control over SGPC. I think SGPC has the standing to take up this issue. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, If you ask me with a GDP of 5.3% as of today India and China are better placed. And just for your information India has a very healthy FE reserve. Yes because of the downturn and because its an election year the deficit has gone up. And when the turnaround does take place India and China will recover fastest and Stock Markets in both Countries will rocket. Sorry but the hatred expressed for India does not make economic sense. Guru Rakha

Fateh Ji, http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090228/punjab.htm#4 In this article you will note that Tribune showing its true colors has inserted an angle to show that Sikhs are competing with Dera Sacha Sauda. Guru Rakha
