  1. Nice, i am already making a program that can send files from IP to IP on a LAN. Having some problems with the file sending but everything else is completed like Connection and stuff. I am gonna try to see if i can change it so it works on the internet. Plus having a fixed server IP is good cos the clients can simply connect like they do to kazaa servers.
  2. Somebody posted it on the old forum, its one of my favourite posts. Thanks for reposting it.
  3. The Saint - Soldier Namarata Kaur - KhalsaPride.com As the arrows fly through the air, Our Saint- Soldier crouches under his sheild. Although his memories tell a tale of unthinkable animosity towards his people, He does not regret being a soldier of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. "I have fought many battles," thinks our pious lion, "But none as fierce as this." Will he die today? Probably. But to die for Guru Gobind Singh Ji is a death only in the temperal world. "It's so lonely here," says the poet, completely unaware of the hundreds of bodies sprawled out on the ground next to him. An arrows makes its way towards him and pierces his heart. As he falls to the ground, he let's out a Jakara "Bolay So Nihal....Sat Sri Akal!" And joins his Sikh brothers and sisters. As the rain falls on their faces, We see our dead saint with a smile on his lips, Because now, he shall never be alone.
  4. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh Its a shame that you can't eat the Gurdwara Langar. But that should not stop you from doing Langar di Seva. Remember Langar is not just about eating. There are a number of things you can do. Distribute Dall, Parshada Give out Water Clean the Plates
  5. Tabbacoo is not allowed because It harms the body and other ppl, Guru Gobind singh ji's Horse Neela, Didn't cross the farm because there was Tabacoo growing in it. We should take lesson from this and apply the same principals to anything that harms our body. Bhang is no exception. Why would you want to take Bhang and anyother toxin anyways? i personally prefere Orange juice :nihungsmile:. So next time you have the urge for anything dodgy, Drink a glass of orange juice. ; :D
  6. Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh. Remember all play and no Learning about sikhi makes me a Bad sikh So Posting funny pics are fine, but keep them under control. Not this many at the same time. :nihungsmile:
  7. Remember the Ardass?? "Guru Teg Bahadur Simmeriye, Ghar NAu Nidh ave Tiyahe" Meditate on Guru Teg Bahadur and the nine treasures shall come to us. The nine treasures include: precious metals, gems and jewels, delicious foods, training in the use of arms, beautiful clothing and various staples, trade in gold, trade in gems, mastery of fine arts, and all kinds of riches. ( sikhnet.com ) Now there are three things, 1) Nidh 2) Ridh 3) Sidh Nau Nidh = Nine Treasures as mentioned above. Ridh, Sidh = Spiritual Powers. when you gain Ridiya sidhiya, you have the ability to do anything. But i don't know wat they are either :D , Hlep! someone?

  13. The Story of Baba Atal ji Baba Atal was a son of Guru Har Gobind. He was very smart, active and sportive. He was deeply religious. When playing with the children of the city, he used to tell them many wise things.Whatever he said,'even in jest, has some deep meaning. All his playmates loved and obeyed him. Guru hargobind was specially kind to him. he used to take him in his lap, fondle him and say 'God has given you much power,Don't make a show of it. If you have to use it. use it with catuion nd wisdom. don't waste it away on little things. Baba Atal used to say in reply, 'O true king, all power i posses, i have obtained it from you. Your store-house can never get empty. Therefore i may use it to my heart's content. It will never be used up.' One of Baba Atal's playmates was named Mohan. He was eight years of age. He was about the same age as Baba Atal. He and Baba Atal ji used to play bat and ball. One day, they played on until night fall. At the end of the play, it was baba Atal's turn to use the bat. It was mohans turn to throw and pick up the ball. It was agreed between them that Baba Atal would get his turn the next morning. Both boys went home. At night, Mohan got up from his bed to answer a call of nature. The night was pitch dark. In the dark, he was bitten by a COBRA. He began to cry loudly. His cried awoke his parents. They rushed to him. They found him fainting. they sent for a doctor. But the cobra's poison had done its work. The boy died of the snake bite. Next morning, Baba Atal went to mo han's hourse. He found Mohan's parents and others weeping. He was told that Mohan had died. Baba Atal said, 'No, he is not dead. He pretends to be dead. He does not wish to give me my turn with the bat. I will make him get up.' Saying this , he went to Mohan's room. He touched him with his bat and said,'Mohan get up, say "Sat Nam Waheguru". Open your eyes. You should not be so late to rise from bed. I must have my turn at the bat.' Upon this , Mohan got up as if from sleep. He had been dead for hours. Naturally his parents were filled with joy. Baba Atal and Mohan went out and began to play. Guru Har Gobind came to know what his son had done. He was not at all pleased. He said ,'It has become a habit with Atal to waste away his powers. He has not acted well or wisely. Now, Whenever any boy might die his parents will bring him to our door. Whose dead son shall we bring back to life and whose son shall we allow to remain dead? We must all obey God's will. We should not try to undo what He has done. When Baba Atal ji returned hone, the Guru said to him angerily,; I teach men to obey god's will. But you act against his will.' Baba Atal said, ' O true King, may you live for ages. I feel that i should go back to our true home.' So saying, he went away. He took his bath in the sacred tank. He then went four times round the sacred temple of Har Mandar. Then he went to the tank named Kaulsar. he sat near its bank. Bending his head forward, he supported his chin with his bat. With his eyes fixed on the sacred temple, he repeated the Japji, then he offered Prayers. After that he departed to the True Home or God's Presence. Guru Har Gobing soon learnt about Baba Atal's departure from the world. He advised his family and his Sikhs not to weep. He said, 'All have to die. Such is the Almighty's Will. What pleases him is good. We should accept it cheerfully. Atal's name and fame shall live for ever.' br>Baba Atal's Body was cremated at the spot where he had left it. The guru said, ' Atal has, by God's Will, given up his body in his ninth year. A nine storeyed temple shall be built here. It shall be seen from afar. At this shrine , the hungry will get food free,everyday.' At the spot Stands a beautiful nine-storyed gurdwara, called Baba Atal Sahib. Faithful Sikhs distribute cakes of bread to all the visitors. The hungry people assembly there and repeatedly say, 'O Baba Atal Pakkian Pakkian Ghal' 'O Baba Atal, send us well baked cakes' Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh.
  14. Tiger in a Donkey's Grab/ Skin One day, a sikh appeared before guru gobind singh at anadpur. He did not bring any offering for the guru. This was something unusual for a sikh. he said to the guru, 'o true king, pardon me for coming empty-handed. All the same, i want to make an offering to you. I am sure you will like it. but it is too heavy. i have not been able to lift it and bring it to this place.' The guru enquired, 'what is it? where is it?' The sikh replied, ' Away in the forest, i came across a big tiger. i killed it. i should have brought its body to you as an offering. but, as i have said, it is too heavy. I am not strong enough to lift it and bring it to you. Be pleased to lend me suitable assistance.' The guru sent some strong men with the sikh. they brought the tiger's body and placed it before the guru. He was pleased to see it. He praised the sikh for his bravery. He then got the tiger's body skinned. Then he sent for a potter's donkey. He got that donkey clothed in the tiger's ckin.The donkey thus, dressed as a tiger, was let loose. All animals ran away from it out of fear. even men, women and children fled on seeing it approach. The donkey in the tiger's grab enjoyed the new experience. It had no longer to carry any loads. it had no longer to obey any master. It was free to run about and feed at pleasure. This went on for some time. in the meantime several complaints were made to the guru. several people requested him to kill or get killed the dreadful beast. In respose to these comp laints and requests the guru went out to shoot that 'Dreadful beast'. He took a party of sikhs with him. The hunting party approached the donkey in the tiger's grab, raising the usual shouts and cries. On hearing the noise made by the guru's party, the supposed tiger began to bray in terror. it ran away at top speed. the hunting party allowed it to go away unchecked and unpursued. It fled for protection to its old master. it was trembling with fear. ITs behavious and movements were not at all like those of a tiger. They were those of a donkey. The potter was puzzled to see a tiger behave and move like a donkey. 'what is the matter with this tiger?' he said to himself. He approached it cautiously. AS he did so, the supposed tiger began to bray and move its tail The potter realized that the animal before him was not a tiger. it was only in a donkey in a tiger's skin. He was greatly amused at this discovery. He had a hearty laugh. Then he said ' so, my lost donkey has come back in the tiger's suit. But its a donkey all the same. come on , my dear, i shall make you apear in your true grab. You have enjoyed quite a long holiday. i have missed you very much these days. now you have become stronger. so the loads will be heavier than before'. Saying this, the potter took off the tiger's skin from the donkey's body. then he gave it a sound beating for having run away. He then employed it in carrying loads. The loads were much heavier now. All who heard the story were greatly amused. they said to each other,'So we were all decieved. it was only a donkey dressed as a tiger. Yet how dreadful it looked! if it had continue to wear the tiger's skin, it would have continued to terify us all.' Some sikhs asked the guru what he meant by what he had done. The guru replied,'I want you to learn a lasting lesson from this. As long as you were bound by castes and other hindu beliefes and customs, you were like donkeys. You were driven abou t by persons of no position or power. I have freed you from all those chains. I have conferred on you worldly powers and blessings. I have clothed you in the grab of tigers. I have given you the courage and bravery of lions. I have a made you supirior to your neighbours. I have given you the khalsa uniform. I have made you my singhs or lions. Stick and cling to that uniform of five 'Ks'. don't ever discard it.Remember what happened to the potter's donkey. when it wore the tiger's grab, it looked like a tiger. It was in fact, taken to be a tiger by all who saw it. Nobody could go near it or think of using it as a beast of burden. But when the tiger skin was taken off, it was caught and beaten by the potter. If it had not preserved and brayed like a donkey, it would have been still been regarded and treated as a tiger. 'You should learn a lesson from this. You must have not only the appreance of tigers, or lions. youshould also posses the qualities befitting your aprearance. this you can do by taking the amrit introduced by me and by following the Rehat prescribed by me for the Khalsa. An amritdhari sikh or a singh of mine will have the exterior as well as the interior of the king of the animal world. As long as you, will preserve that exterior, your enemies will fear you. You will be always victorious. But if you part with this exterior, if you discard the khalsa uniform, you will again revert to your original condition. You will fall from the lofty position to which i am lifting you. "Yes, Guru nanak's sikhs should, henceforth take the baptismal nectar- amrit - as prescribed by me. They should ever keep distinct from others in charachter and conduct, as well as in appearance. So long as the sikhs preserve the form and apearance that i have given them, so long will they enjoy my blessings. they will have in them my spirit and my light. i shall ve with them at all times in all places. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa,Sri waheguru ji ki fateh' "
  15. Bhai Ghanaeeya ji Among the Sikhs at Guru Gobind Singh's durbar there was one named Bhai Ghanaeeya. He was a resident of Sodra in the district of Gujjranwala. Now in Pakisatan. He was a devout and peace loving Sikh. He had a tender and compassionate heart. He was ever busy in doing whatever service he found a chance to do. Because of his love of peace and service, and his tender-heartedness, he was averse to becoming a solider. Therefore he had not joined the guru's army of saint-soldiers by taking amrit. But he was not an idler or a coward. Whenever fighting took place, he would invariably go into the battlefield along with his co-workers. There he went about serving water and giving other help to the wounded. At the conclusion of one day's fighting, some Sikhs appeared before the Guru ji and said ' O true King, a Sikh named Ghanaeeya is helping the Turks, our enemies. We wound and fell them. He goes and gives them water and other help. He makes them well and fresh again. They are soon ready to fight against us again. He is thus undoing our work. He is helping the enemy. He should be bidden to desist from doing this.' On hearing this, the guru sent for Bhai Ghanaeeya. He appeared before the guru ji in no time. The guru said to him. 'Ghanaeeya, what have you been doing? I am told that you go about helping and serving the enemy. Is it true?' 'No true kind,' said Bhai Ghanaeeya. I have never given any help or service to an enemy. My brothers here are mistaken. 'O true king,' said the complaining Sikhs, 'we are not mistaken. He is telling a lie. With out own eyes we saw him giving water and help to our enemies.' 'Well, Ghanaeeya,' said the guru with a smile, 'I know you very well. I do not believe you to be capable of telling a lie. But these Sikhs here are also incapable of making false statements. Come tell the truth.' Bhai Ghanaeeya, replied, 'from their point of view, what my brothers here say is true. Yes, it is true that I have been giving water and help to those who are called Turks as freely as to those called Sikhs. But in reality, I served no Turk or Sikh. I was serving you alone, O true king'. 'Me? Said Guru Gobind Singh. ‘How?' 'Thus, O true Kind,' replied Bhai Ghanaeeya ' You have told us, 'if you clothe a naked person, you cloth me. If you feed a hungry person, you feed me. If you give water to a thirsty man, you give water to me.' These words of yours have been engraved on my heart. When I saw wounded soldiers, Sikhs and Muslims, Lying on the ground, panting for water, I saw not them but You, O true King. I saw you in every one of them. Hence, I gave water and help to none but you, my lord. 'Well Done, Ghanaeeya,' said the Guru. 'You have been acting in true Sikh spirit. AS long as a Turk bears arms and fights against us, he is our enemy. But as soon as he falls wounded on the ground, he ceases to be our enemy. He is then only a man, a brother in need of help and care. Similarly, when he throws down his arms and runs away, he ceases to be our enemy. He becomes simply a man, a son of the father above. He deserves help and sympathy. My Sikhs should help and serve the wounded, be they Sikh or Turks. My Sikhs should not chase or harm those who surrender their arms or fly from the battleground. The Guru then gave a pot of ointment to Bhai Ghanaeeya and said, ' Carry on the good work. In addition to giving water to the wounded, Dress their wounds. Then take them to a safe place for further treatment. Do this and your Name will live in the world. God will be highly pleased with you. Story taken from the book” Stories from Sikh History IV".
