and plus, how are we supposed to fall in love with maharaj if we are worried about somebody else all the time??
so that means you don't have to give a fk about your wife / kids because .... I shouldn't worry about them
err no, did you read the whole post. wasn't exactly long was it. that was about girlfriend/boyfriend thing - which is just to do with kaam anyway.
hopefully your wife and kids should be following the same path.
and actually many many many times in gurbani it says about detaching yourself from all in the world
ਏ ਮਨ ਪਿਆਰਿਆ ਤੂ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਸਮਾਲੇ ॥
O beloved mind, contemplate the True Lord forever.
This family which you see shall not go along with you.
They shall not go along with you, so why do you focus your attention on them?
Don't do anything that you will regret in the end.
Listen to the Teachings of the True Guru - these shall go along with you.
Says Nanak, O beloved mind, contemplate the True Lord forever. ||11||
ਧ੍ਰਿਗੰਤ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਸਨੇਹੰ ਧ੍ਰਿਗ ਸਨੇਹੰ ਭ੍ਰਾਤ ਬਾਂਧਵਹ ॥
Cursed is loving attachment to one's mother and father; cursed is loving attachment to one's siblings and relatives.
Cursed is attachment to the joys of family life with one's spouse and children.
Cursed is attachment to household affairs.

Only loving attachment to the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, is True. Nanak dwells there in peace. ||2||
- that doesn't mean you throw them aside. grihasti jeevan is guru ji's hukam - just don't get caught up in it so much that you forget all about guru ji's hukam.
and sorry IF anything bad happened to you or someone you know, but don't blame the teachings of sikhi for it (remember i said IF)
i guess i started posting just as you posted shastr, search copy and paste took some mins

WOW available for download. that is brilliant, especially as it's not easy to bring pothi sahibs over from India with full respect trust me, and i don't know of any being printed here. and it's free to download. that's amazing, you're right to get carried away, that is a huge seva for people who are learning or want to learn to read gurbani and anyone else. it really is brilliant, i'm gonna get carried away in a minute lol, good stuff bhaji.

first of all
IK OUNKAAR (and if they ask about god further then the mool muntur)
naam japo, kirt karo, vand ke shakho
and you could add,
- manus ki jaat sabhai ekai pehichanibo (recognise the human race as one) and/or - hukmai andur(i) sabh ko bahur(i) hukum(u) na koi, Nanak hukumai je bujhai, ta haomai kuhai na koi.

Also if you type in ਜਪ into srigranth.org or sikhi to the max. see how many searches come up and just read through a few.
i guess, from what i can think of, there may be other ways, and what i write might be wrong but for any script, in this case and especially gurbani you could
arad(h)ana - repeating out loud, try to embed something into your memory.
rad(h), is to memorise, or to finish. so arad(h) i would suggest would be to never stop, and keep on memorising, as we try to do with gurbani.
dhiaona - dhian la ke, with your mind. set your mind to focus on gurbani, the meaning, and say loud or quietly in your mind, but focus your mind on it
japna - with your tongue, your voice. dhiaona can be done with the mind alone, but japna can not (i don't think
)gaona - then there's gaona, singing aloud.
just a few thoughts, from what i've gathered feel free to add anything or whatever.

if initially you read/say gurbani out loud, you are more likely to remember it. repetitively saying gurbani out loud allows you to listen to what you are saying. then when you read it or say it in your mind, you can 'hear' yourself saying it.<br>many sants and mahapurash advise for people to speak gurbani out loud, and let yourself listen to it. as you speak it out loud, it becomes more 'pakka' resolute in your mind, then jundo ander vas jandi bani, when after speaking it loudly it starts to resonate in your mind then you can do it either way.
try it, if you say gurbani in a toneful voice loudly, almost singing but not exactly. say a line a few times, or vaheguru loudly. then be silent and listen to that in your mind, it's a lot clearer than just doing it in your head straight away.
Sing, and listen, and let your mind be filled with love.
Your pain shall be sent far away, and peace shall come to your home.
The Guru's Word is the Sound-current of the Naad; the Guru's Word is the Wisdom of the Vedas; the Guru's Word is all-pervading.
Listening-the Siddhas, the spiritual teachers, the heroic warriors, the yogic masters.
Listening-the earth, its support and the Akaashic ethers.
Listening-the oceans, the lands of the world and the nether regions of the underworld.
Listening-Death cannot even touch you.
O Nanak, the devotees are forever in bliss.
Listening-pain and sin are erased. ||8||
SO BY RECITING OUT LOUD, SO CAN ALLOW YOURSELF TO LISTEN.
eventually after listening it will sink in:
Listening and believing with love and humility in your mind,

bbc is ridiculous, there's a program on bbc2 at 10pm today. it's about MUSLIMS LEARNING TO DRIVE - it's a freaking series of 6 programs, after a show about OBAMA and just before NEWSNIGHT.
i can't see how there's no agenda behind something like that, an absolutely pointless show, just to make muslims look better to the public - when there are so many more important issues out there that a documentary could be made of

oh, i had my hopes up for some good news
well part of my previous post
''does he go more the side of 'maya'. a lot of socialising (not the religious kind), spending money etc etc.
Also is he a bit selfish, again both things i've said from experience of someone like that, because he hasn't thought about what it would do to the family or anything, or looked at what's good, he's looked at what is easy.''
Karan, have you tried to understand more about sikhi, and why you shouldn't cut your kesh, or have you just thought i don't care what anyone says i'm just gonna do it my way.
maybe you want to do all sorts of things, and you want to cut your kesh etc, and you've seen how 'easy' it would make things and you're just looking at that perpective. have you tried, please try, just a little bit, to look at the spiritual side of things, to see what gurbani says, to go to a summer camp or something or a class and pose the questions that you have.
it can be seen in the world that people who work really hard are the most successful, people who make sacrifices like great sportsmen or soldiers in the war, they are saluted by everyone. those are usually the best people in western society (did you see the armed forces awards). in life i guess sikhi is that path of hard work which can lead you to success at the end
- maybe i think, maybe you want to see how sikhi can be cool, how it can be fun and chilled out - i'd say go to a sikhi camp in the summer first and see how it is. maybe you don't care about anyone talking like they know it all and thinking they're of a higher intelligence. maybe you just wanna see how you can be a sikh and be chilled out. maybe the way your parents brought you up in sikhi you felt it was too strict, maybe you need a viewpoint of some sikhs who are chilled out.
Q. do you believe in god? if so what are your views.

i think the petition should be put in general whats happening and news' forums sometimes people don't check this forum - i rarely do, actually seems quite new to me.
since it's not against forum rules, and if ladli-fauj is ok with it, i think it should go into the 'more popular' forums

yeah agree with above, what kirpadhar said etc.
she ends the show on a good note for sikhs, but the part about june earlier in the film is bias towards indian government for sure - not exactly both sides of the story.
Giani Puran singh ji was blatantly edited for the purposes of the film, as if he would only say about what sant ji thought and did in the battle. an important eye witness, and a 30sec interview shown about sant ji being fearless (which can be taken different ways from different perspectives)
what really got me was when SHE SAID sant ji and his men RAN from in front of the akal takht (from battle), and when brar had the audacity to speak of sant ji not being religious.
there were good parts of the documentary, making it slightly better than some other stuff in the past. the look on brar's face when he was asked if it was worth it - should get that part of the interview and do a body language study, like when he says he feels sorry etc - real remorse shows in the whole action of the body and face. he basically admitted to killing innocent people (oh you couldn't tell who was who etc).
after the indrajit singh interview she says sikhs in this country have moved on, she never interviewed any sikhs in uk about 1984 - well at the end of the show it mentioned about her radio show, i never listen to/call radio stations, but i'm sure people will.
only a couple of picures of june 84 were shown, where as the displays we've seen many times at gurdware show the dispicable attacks on sikhs, implications of firing squads, hands tied with turbans etc etc.
most if not all the times she shed a tear in that film, or felt sad, it was hard to empathise with her - lack of real emotional connection came through for me. never felt sorry for her only those she interviewed, her tears i felt were on occasion sometimes partly due to the guilt of the earlier interviews about june 84 and her lack of sympathy of the victims of the june attack (where she cried less) - and she cried more once she saw the widespread inhumanity.
AND about sant ji the soldier was just about portrayed but the sant was hardly mentioned which is downright disgraceful because sant comes first in sikhi.

yes hopefully it will be good
I can't watch the Documentary in Germany. I dun have the channel and the Internet stream doesn't work cause it's only for Uk....
Does somebody know how to watch it tomorrow?
vjkk vjkf
I'm not sure if this will work outside the UK, but I think it should do if you make sure you add .CO.UK at the end of the URL....
If you go to this website.... >> http://www.tvguide.co.uk/ and scroll down a little you will see the TV program listings of lots of channels, and you will see it says 'BBC1 London' first and then 'BBC2 London' and then 'ITV1 London' etc etc Now under each of these channels there is a link called 'watch', click on that and it will take you to a live stream of the channel...
lets hope it works

Well I thore bothe pange lehne paye, but now it works. I had to change my proxy. I took a open public proxy server. So now the data transfaire goes to the proxy which is in england and then comes to me. I just hope the stream of bbc will work cause they say it's just beta and it makes some problems sometimes.
Sarbat da Pala Jee, could you explain to me how you did that? Because somebody i know in canada wanted to watch it... I dont understand this proxy thing, could you explain what they'll have to do and how to get that stream working? Thanks!!

about tvguide - i went to check when it was on, and if you click on the show it brings up more details and public comments
http://www.tvguide.co.uk/detail.asp?id=56299573
since it's a big site it might be a good idea to post SENSIBLE and fair comments on there that people might read. no good saying we weren't the terrorists if you're post says death to all the gandhi family (no matter how true and heart felt it may be)

Is It Possible That Singh Sahib Bhai Ram Singh Is The Authentic Jathedhar Of Taksaal?
if we look past the misleading title the uploader of this video has posted, there is a clear answer to one of Bloom's questions in the video below.
http://www.youtube.c...feature=related
I, like Bloom, hope the truth will present itself sooner rather than later!
And I say misleading title not for the reason that it can't be true, but because it is not descriptive of the video's content.
AKaaal Akaal Akaal!
the title assumes the video to implicate that dhumma is mukhi.
but my mate was there in tracy, california. when sant baba thakur singh ji gave a saropa (never tied a pugh or asked anyone else to do so), and gave bhai ram singh seva of parchaar and sambhal of gurughar's of the taksal.
as jassa said (this may be the first time i'm agreeing with him), that dhumma was initiated as mukh sevadar of the jathebandhi itself. with bada dharam singh (in who's name most of the taksal's property is, including mehta sahib), very respected and highly thought of sevadar, also there at that time.
my mate told me that there was a guy making a film of it, but ram singh's guys wanted to 'borrow it' but they never gave it back, it showed the sapropa being given and nothing more.

as has been said already, you kind of have to detach yourself now. it was in hukam, you couldnt've seen it coming for some people it just isn't meant to be.
no offence, but is your brother intelligent and mature, or does he go more the side of 'maya'. a lot of socialising (not the religious kind), spending money etc etc.
Also is he a bit selfish, again both things i've said from experience of someone like that, because he hasn't thought about what it would do to the family or anything, or looked at what's good, he's looked at what is easy. So maybe he's kind of a little detached from the family, and you can give and give until a certain point, but you have to realise that it really wasn't meant to be.
I think you have to hope for a growth in his mental state, in his maturity. The right sangat with help greatly but it won't be easy now.
I'm sorry i can't think of anything else to say, apart from as mentioned before, you have to detach yourself, understand gurbaani and hukam. Still be humane when he's there, but understand it wasn't meant to be and it is his loss.

do you believe you have to be a gursikh to be a sikh
Your motive from other posts makes it clear that you are essentially asking:
"What is the most cowardly way that I can consider myself brave".
The answer is there is not a single one.
Instead, why don't you ask the same question we should all ask....How can I become a better sikh(=gursikh) myself. A Sikh is someone who has the humility to do that. There are many beautiful brothers and sisters from all backgrounds and at all stages who approach sikhi with this humility as we speak.
Stop it with the childish games and rants to justify your personal circumstances and practices jgill, you are bringing the quality of discussion on this forum way down.
i know i can fight and die for what i believe in, but from your post it sounds like if someone doesn't practise sikhi to a gursikhs extent your calling them a coward, which is the dumbest thing ive ever heard cause their many gursikhs who would hide from battle and many mona who would die for their ppl
LOL
that is the cowards way - the muslim suicide bombers die for their religion, not cause they're brave, but they want a quick way to mukti - but it doesn't work like that.
''i know i can fight and die for what i believe in'' - what do you believe in...
it's not about dying like that. it's more about being dead while being alive.

yes fair enough there are devotees who understand a bit of what they should be doing etc. but not enough kirpa for them, maybe they might become gursikhs.
but you can't know about guru ji's hukam, guru da banna or attain that level of spirituality without practising it - and if a monna or a non amritdhari develops enough knowledge and piar then surely they would understand what they must do. if they don't fully believe in guru's teachings ie. carry on with some of their manmats, then they're still manmukh and not gurmukh like many of us, but we should try to become gurmukhs and not take shortcuts/excuses

Is Love Forbidden In Sikhi?
in GUPT FORUM
Posted
i don't usually do this on forums but '+1' lol
alright it doesn't say about gf/bf thing, but everyone else has mentioned how that is not in accordance with sikhi.
