You could have been a detective or a spy.The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation: You should develop your talent for love, happiness and enthusiasm and you should distribute these feelings to all people.

BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: The cripple crosses over the mountain, the fool becomes a wise man, and the blind man sees the three worlds, by meeting with the True Guru and being purified. || 1 || This is the Glory of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; listen, O my friends. Filth is washed away, millions of sins are dispelled, and the consciousness becomes immaculate and pure. || 1 || Pause || Such is devotional worship of the Lord of the Universe, that the ant can overpower the elephant. Whoever the Lord makes His own, is blessed with the gift of fearlessness. || 2 || The lion becomes a cat, and the mountain looks like a blade of grass. Those who worked for half a shell, will be judged very wealthy. || 3 || What glorious greatness of Yours can I describe, O Lord of infinite excellences? Please bless me with Your Mercy, and grant me Your Name; O Nanak, I am lost without the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. || 4 || 7 || 37 || Monday , 8 Chayt (Samvat 537 Nanakshahi) (Page: 809)

It was a disgrace to see sikh terrorists on the first page of globe and mail. I agree they should refer them as khalistani separatists rather then sikh , which marks an x on the whole sikh community.

DHANAASAREE, FIFTH MEHL: He does not let His devotees see the difficult times; this is His innate nature. Giving His hand, He protects His devotee; with each and every breath, He cherishes him. || 1 || My consciousness remains attached to God. In the beginning, and in the end, God is always my helper and companion; blessed is my friend. || Pause || My mind is delighted, gazing upon the marvellous, glorious greatness of the Lord and Master. Remembering, remembering the Lord in meditation, Nanak is in ecstasy; God, in His perfection, has protected and preserved his honor. || 2 || 15 || 46 || Friday , 5 Chayt (Samvat 537 Nanakshahi) (Page: 682)

Happy Birthday Singh!

I also think more sikh members need to be on that forum

Why do Hindus think so ? Amod - 1226th post - 15 Mar 2005 13:46 Hi Everyone ! Many times the Hindus have been accused of trying to erase Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism by claiming that these three religions are part and parcel of Hinduism. Why do the Hindus consider these religions not as seperate religions but as part and parcel of Hinduism. What do the members on this board think about this topic. I have my reasons why the Hindus think the way they do but I will let it be known once I come to know the views of this MB in general. Cheers ! [reply] [Complain about this post] re: Why do Hindus think so ? SHIVA - 75th post - 16 Mar 2005 10:43 Amod. Interesting topic indeed. "Hinduism" is not a religion. It is a way of living. Indeed, not just one way of living but many ways of living. Its a culture, its what the individual feels conftable with. One can select to be a devotee of Hanuman or Krishna, Durga or Kali. Indeed all of those gods, goddesses or none of them. Given Hinduism is many a culture and a name generated not by Hindus but by non-Hindus to define the peoples of the sub-continent - my argument is that everyone in South Asia is a Hindu (at the very least by nature). So even a Muslim is a Hindu but also a Muslim. Their culture is Hindu. Under this (possibly crude) concept anyone who accepts the culture of South Asia is a "Hindu".

RAAG SOOHEE, FIFTH MEHL, THIRD HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Attachment to sex is an ocean of fire and pain. By Your Grace, O Sublime Lord, please save me from it. || 1 || I seek the Sanctuary of the Lotus Feet of the Lord. He is the Master of the meek, the Support of His devotees. || 1 || Pause || Master of the masterless, Patron of the forlorn, Eradicator of fear of His devotees. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the Messenger of Death cannot even touch them. || 2 || The Merciful, Incomparably Beautiful, Embodiment of Life. Vibrating the Glorious Virtues of the Lord, the noose of the Messenger of Death is cut away. || 3 || One who constantly chants the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam with his tongue, is not touched or affected by Maya, the embodiment of disease. || 4 || Chant and meditate on God, the Lord of the Universe, and all of your companions shall be carried across; the five thieves will not even approach. || 5 || One who meditates on the One God in thought, word and deed — that humble being receives the fruits of all rewards. || 6 || Showering His Mercy, God has made me His own; He has blessed me with the unique and singular Naam, and the sublime essence of devotion. || 7 || In the beginning, in the middle, and in the end, He is God. O Nanak, without Him, there is no other at all. || 8 || 1 || 2 || Wednesday, 3 Chayt (Samvat 537 Nanakshahi) (Page: 760)

Sounds like a good book. There is lot of dirty politics that leaders play and the majority is fooled

If people didnt learn their lessons through 1984, then history will repeat itself. I agree the indian government is very corrupt but how much less corrupt are our current leaders, If you want to live in khalistan , then consider being ruled by similar leaders. I would further say that first we need khalistan from maya, then your land khalistan will come on its own and it will change the entire world. Every Sikh first has to go on the Guru's path. It starts with one of us. Bijla Singh said earlier "No one cares about your opinion and neither shoudl you care about the opinion of others" Although if you care and understand the opinions of others, then others will also care and try to understand you more.

I was just browsing it .. when on Page 297 it says.. ਵਾਰ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਭਗਉਤੀ ਜੀ ਕੀ ॥ ਪਾਤਸਾਹੀ ੧੦ ॥ वार स्री भगउती जी की ॥ पातसाही १० ॥ The Heroic Poem of Sri Bhagauti Ji (Goddess Durga). (By) Th Tenth Kingg (Guru). Why does it say Goddess Durga , when there is no mention of it in the gurmukhi/hindi version

great news! <_<

"Do not say that the Vedas, the Bible and the Koran are false. Those who do not contemplate them are false. " Ang 1350 OK.. Listen to what Guru Gobind Singh has said.... dont call anyone false.. Jin Prem Kiyo tin hi prabh payo. Only those who have loved have found Him.

SHALOK, THIRD MEHL: The elephant offers its head to the reins, and the anvil offers itself to the hammer; just so, we offer our minds and bodies to our Guru; we stand before Him, and serve Him. This is how the Gurmukhs eliminate their self-conceit, and come to rule the whole world. O Nanak, the Gurmukh understands, when the Lord casts His Glance of Grace. || 1 || THIRD MEHL: Blessed and approved is the coming into the world, of those Gurmukhs who meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. O Nanak, they save their families, and they are honored in the Court of the Lord. || 2 || PAUREE: The Guru unites His Sikhs, the Gurmukhs, with the Lord. The Guru keeps some of them with Himself, and engages others in His Service. Those who cherish their Beloved in their conscious minds, the Guru blesses them with His Love. The Guru loves all of His Gursikhs equally well, like friends, children and siblings. So chant the Name of the Guru, the True Guru, everyone! Chanting the Name of the Guru, Guru, you shall be rejuvenated. || 14 || Monday, 1 Chayt (Samvat 537 Nanakshahi) (Page: 647)

RAAMKALEE, FOURTH MEHL: If I am blessed with supreme high destiny, I will meet the humble servants of the Lord, without delay. The Lord’s humble servants are pools of ambrosial nectar; by great good fortune, one bathes in them. || 1 || O Lord, let me work for the humble servants of the Lord. I carry water, wave the fan and grind the corn for them; I massage and wash their feet. I apply the dust of their feet to my forehead. || 1 || Pause || The Lord’s humble servants are great, very great, the greatest and most exalted; they lead us to meet the True Guru. No one else is as great as the True Guru; meeting the True Guru, I meditate on the Lord, the Primal Being. || 2 || Those who seek the Sanctuary of the True Guru find the Lord. My Lord and Master saves their honor. Some come for their own purposes, and sit before the Guru; they pretend to be in Samaadhi, like storks with their eyes closed. || 3 || Associating with the wretched and the lowly, like the stork and the crow, is like feeding on a carcass of poison. Nanak: O God, unite me with the Sangat, the Congregation. United with the Sangat, I will become a swan. || 4 || 4 || Friday, 28 Phalgun (Samvat 536 Nanakshahi) (Page: 881)

GOND, FIFTH MEHL: Suffering and troubles are eradicated by the Lord’s Name. Pain is dispelled, and peace takes its place. Meditating, chanting the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, I am satisfied. By the Grace of the Saints, I have received all fruitful rewards. || 1 || Meditating on the Lord, His humble servant is carried across, and the sins of countless incarnations are taken away. || 1 || Pause || I have enshrined the Guru’s feet within my heart, and crossed over the ocean of fire. All the painful diseases of birth and death have been eradicated. I am attached to God in celestial Samaadhi. || 2 || In all places and interspaces, the One, our Lord and Master is contained. He is the Inner-knower of all hearts. One whom the Lord blesses with understanding, chants the Name of God, twenty-four hours a day. || 3 || Deep within, God Himself abides; within his heart, the Divine Light shines forth. With loving devotion, sing the Kirtan of the Lord’s Praises. Meditate on the Supreme Lord God, O Nanak, and you shall be saved. || 4 || 10 || 12 || Thursday , 27 Phalgun (Samvat 536 Nanakshahi) (Page: 865)

There are also Karas available made out of Steel wool and if you wear those Karas then no black magic can harm you. If you goto a Gurudwara Sahib or where mahapurush has meditated for long, or a place where there are lot of holy vibrations then it will go away. Also, talking about Black magic , maya has already done her magic.... and we are so vulnerable already... Reading bani and have 100% faith in Gurbani can save us. "Only who has faith comes to know of such a state of mind"

nothing and so they couldnt solve the case, and then they started to paint their ______

Judgement day is not related to Sikhism. Christians have that in thier bible i think and they believe in it. Although i dont know what it means. We believe in reincarnation and after we die we are born into another form, it can be human/animal/plant/insect anything depending on our karma (past actions).. but if you remember God at the last moment before dying then still you are saved and are free from this cycle of reincarnation. After we die, we are taken by the messenger of Death and are judged. To get a human life we first went through various lives in other forms like animals, plants etc before we are blessed as humans. We have our Guru (Spiritual Teacher) in the form of Gurbani of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The whole essence of Sikhism can be compiled by the following IK Onkar , Sat Gur Prasad One Universal Creator , realizable by the True Guru Which can be further expanded into the mool mantra (root/basic mantra) Ik Onkar Sat Nam Karta Purakh Nirbhau , Nirvair Akaal Moorat, Ajoone Saibhang Gurprasad Jap Aad Sach , Jugaad Sach, Haibhee Sach Nanak Hosee bhi Sach Which means One Univerasal Creator God True is the Name The Creator Without Fear, Without Hatred Is Timeless and without form Beyond Birth, Beyond Death, Enlightened one By Guru's Grace (you will Know God by Guru's Grace) Chant with love True in the begining, True throughout the ages, True Here and Now O Nanak, Forever and ever True. ======= (Guru Nanak was our First Guru) The mool mantra can be further expanded to Sukhmani Sahib (The pearl of peace) written by Guru Arjan Dev Ji And the whole Guru Granth Sahib ji is the expansion of this truth.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Khalsa belongs to God, Victory to God Im assuming your new to sikhism, If you want to download some gurbani files then you can download them here and read on your computer whenever. http://www.gurbanifiles.org/ In every line of Guru Granth Sahib ji there is Truth, If we have faith in it then we are carried across this world ocean. Those who follow it with 100% faith are Gurmukhs, (the Guru's followers, and whatever they say is from the Guru)... but those who dont they are manmukhs (Followers of the mind, and whatever they say is from their own ego) Also, Everyday in the ambrosial hours of the morning, A hukamnama is taken from the Golden Temple Amritsar, A Sikh is supposed to read it and follow it. Here is Todays Hukamnama. BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: Without the Lord, nothing is of any use. You are totally attached to that Enticer Maya; she is enticing you. || 1 || Pause || You shall have to leave behind your gold, your woman and your beautiful bed; you shall have to depart in an instant. You are entangled in the lures of sexual pleasures, and you are eating poisonous drugs. || 1 || You have built and adorned a palace of straw, and under it, you light a fire. Sitting all puffed-up in such a castle, you stubborn-minded fool, what do you think you will gain? || 2 || The five thieves stand over your head and seize you. Grabbing you by your hair, they will drive you on. You do not see them, you blind and ignorant fool; intoxicated with ego, you just keep sleeping. || 3 || The net has been spread out, and the bait has been scattered; like a bird, you are being trapped. Says Nanak, my bonds have been broken; I meditate on the True Guru, the Primal Being. || 4 || 2 || 88 || Wednesday, 26 Phalgun (Samvat 536 Nanakshahi) (Page: 821) Maya is the illusion and she has control over the five thieves (anger, greed, lust, attachment, pride/ego)

The name khalsa can never be disgraced, khalsa doesnt seek grace from the people, but rather khalsa gives just as the glory of God cannot decrease or increase if people talk about it

amazing sakhi... keep them coming

Its more important to read something that you can understand, Although sometimes some lines have different meanings in english, so the meaning can be misinterpreted. But i totally agree that bani can be read in english.
