Dhan Teri Sikhi

Waheguru Waheguru

:WW: :WW: :WW: :WW:

Bhenji as Untitled Singh mentioned, you are probably feeling really upset at the moment but there is someone else out there who Waheguru Jee wants you to spend the rest of your life with.. Baba Nand Singh Jee used to say: Jo Keeta So Vah Vah - What you have done for me in the past is great Jo Kar Kara Rahe Ho So Vah Vah - What you are doing for me at present is great Jo Karoge So Vah Vah - What you will do for me in the future will be great When you get down, think of the above. At least you know now what he thinks and will be able to get on with your life. Stay in Chardi Kala Bhenji :TH:

I totally agree with you SScom. Just reminds me of Bhai Kaniya who gave aid and comfort to Muslims in the battlefied, because he saw Guru Jee in Muslims as well as in the sikhs.

Happy Birthday Bhenji :TH: May Guru Jee always keep you in Chardi Kala :HP:

imqR Gxyry kir QkI myrw duKu kwtY koie ] mithr ghanaerae kar thhakee maeraa dhukh kaattai koe || I have grown weary of making so many friends, hoping that someone might be able to end my suffering. imil pRIqm duKu kitAw sbid imlwvw hoie ] mil preetham dhukh kattiaa sabadh milaavaa hoe || Meeting with my Beloved, my suffering has ended; I have attained Union with the Word of the Shabad.

Dhan Waheguru Jee

Happy Birthday May Guru Jee always keep you in Chardi Kala :HP: Ps I want some chocolate cake too

Yesterday it was 6.30pm to 8.00pm

The Sim - Please read this shabad by Guru Arjan Dev Ji iblwvlu mhlw 5 ] bilaaval mehalaa 5 || Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl: AhMbuiD prbwd nIq loB rsnw swid ] aha(n)budhh parabaadh neeth lobh rasanaa saadh || He is constantly entangled in pride, conflict, greed and tasty flavors. lpit kpit igRih byiDAw imiQAw ibiKAwid ]1] lapatt kapatt grihi baedhhiaa mithhiaa bikhiaadh ||1|| He is involved in deception, fraud, household affairs and corruption. ||1|| AYsI pyKI nyqR mih pUry gur prswid ] aisee paekhee naethr mehi poorae gur parasaadh || I have seen this with my eyes, by the Grace of the Perfect Guru. rwj imlK Dn jobnw nwmY ibnu bwid ]1] rhwau ] raaj milakh dhhan jobanaa naamai bin baadh ||1|| rehaao || Power, property, wealth and youth are useless, without the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause|| rUp DUp sogMDqw kwpr Bogwid ] roop dhhoop soga(n)dhhathaa kaapar bhogaadh || Beauty, incense, scented oils, beautiful clothes and foods imlq sMig pwipst qn hoey durgwid ]2] milath sa(n)g paapisatt than hoeae dhuragaadh ||2|| when they come into contact with the body of the sinner, they stink. ||2|| iPrq iPrq mwnuKu BieAw iKn BMgn dyhwid ] firath firath maanukh bhaeiaa khin bha(n)gan dhaehaadh || Wandering, wandering around, the soul is reincarnated as a human, but this body lasts only for an instant. ieh Aausr qy cUikAw bhu join BRmwid ]3] eih aousar thae chookiaa bahu jon bhramaadh ||3|| Losing this opportunity, he must wander again through countless incarnations. ||3|| pRB ikrpw qy gur imly hir hir ibsmwd ] prabh kirapaa thae gur milae har har bisamaadh || By God's Grace, he meets the Guru; contemplating the Lord, Har, Har, he is wonderstruck. sUK shj nwnk Anµd qw kY pUrn nwd ]4]8]38] sookh sehaj naanak ana(n)dh thaa kai pooran naadh ||4||8||38|| He is blessed with peace, poise and bliss, O Nanak, through the perfect sound current of the Naad. ||4||8||38|| Bani has an answer to every question that we ever have. Guru Jee is so great that he answers all our questions, we just need to ask him and listen to him. Guru Jee says in this shabad that it is only by God's grace that we meet Guru Jee and cotemplate on Waheguru and are wonderstruck. You say that you get <Edited> off when people dont realise that they are wasting their lives. I can understand that if someone has discovered Waheguru Jee, they will want other people to realise his greatness and to discover him. If one has realised that the world is full of Maya, they will want to tell others not to waste their time in indulging in useless pleasures and falling a victim to Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh and Hankaar. We can only try to tell them about Guru Jee and if individuals are not willing to listen, then it may not be written in their karam to discover Guru Jee. Whether we are blessed enough to meet with Waheguru Jee in this human life has already been written on our foreheads before we were born. I think that the best one can do is Ardas to Waheguru Jee to bless us with his kirpa so that we realise the true purpose of life and recite his Naam with every breath that we take. Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru

Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh I would just like to let my Bhaji's and Bhenji's know about Gyani Rajinder Singh who is doing Gurbani Veechar of Shabads from Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee on Sukhsagar Radio in the evenings. He is an amazing kathavachik, I've been listening to the katha for the last few days and would recommend others to listen as well. First time that I have across Gyani Jee, he does veechar of the shabads in such a simple way so that they can be understood easily. Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh

This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Gauree on Pannaa 240 gauVI mhlw 5 ] gourree mehalaa 5 || Gauree, Fifth Mehl: imlu myry goibMd Apnw nwmu dyhu ] mil maerae gobi(n)dh apanaa naam dhaehu || Meet me, O my Lord of the Universe.

This thread is getting a bit personal.. Sewa is something that we do not do ourselves by our own efforts but our Guru Jee does his kirpa on us and blesses us with the opportunity to do Sewa. Guru Jee could change his mind and take away the opportunity from us to do the Sewa. Everything is in his hukam. There is not one type of sewa but thousands and thousands of types of Sewa. We have no right to say to someone that so and so is not doing sewa if they are not performing a certain sewa which we are doing. Guru Jee says: saa saevaa keethee safal hai jith sathigur kaa man ma(n)nae || Fruitful and rewarding is that service, which is pleasing to the Guru's Mind. Waheguru Waheguru har kee thum saevaa karahu dhoojee saevaa karahu n koe jee || Serve the Lord; do not serve anyone else. har kee saevaa thae manahu chi(n)dhiaa fal paaeeai dhoojee saevaa janam birathhaa jaae jee ||1|| Serving the Lord, you shall obtain the fruits of your heart's desires; serving another, your life shall pass away in vain. ||1||

Amazing Shabad. Thanks for sharing. Waheguru

Thanks Deg Teg Fateh Bhenji :TH:

Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the Sants that have done mahaan parchar of Sikhi. :doh: :doh:

Congratulations Bhaji :TH: Really nice story as to how you were inspired into Sikhi

I've been to Gurdwara Bandi Shor, beautiful gurdwara near Agra.

Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh I believe that the first teachers of a young child are the parents. If a child is brought up where the parents believe in Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee as their Guru and the children are taught as kids to respect Guru Jee and read Gurbani, then the children will grow up to respect Bani, and treat Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee as their living Guru Jee. The children wil have the "Nadar" of Guru Jee But if the parents are not into Sikhi, know nothing about Guru Jee and Gurbani, then the youth cannot be blamed that they do not know about Guru Jee and do not respect Guru Jee. It is upto parents initially to teach the kids about Sikhi and respecting Guru Jee. I think we all as individuals need to respect Guru Jee more as our living Guru. The more sharda and prem we have for Guru Jee, the happier Guru Jee will be with us. Bhul Chuk Maaf
