What would be a Sant/Mahapurshs own reasons be for using a mala? On one hand you have no problem with people using a mala, but then you say it's not ok to use one. Sounds like you are pro and con with Malas or are you confused as to if one can be used or not?My grandmothers cousin used to hold a mala most times I saw her. She never listened to what anybody tried to tell, was always doing simran with her mala. I remember her supporting me in some sad times, although she was a bit stubborn but her love and sharda in Waheguru was lovely to see. Miss my grandma and her ? Oh I forgot, she lived up to over 100 years old, she was lucky God graced her so many years to do simran.

That's ok, don't worry about the YouTube, do what you feel comfortable with. From your writing it sounds like you have experienced something negative since your last posts. Are you ok? Don't let others or negative experiences put you off the path of Sikhi. And don't worry about impressing people, as everybody is on their own journey, you just concentrate on yours, and good luck to you.

Tarsem Ji who said I look at the Mahapurshs to use a mala and not at the Gurus teachings? That's your own assumption. I only wrote the facts, I never said one should use one did I? I don't think I've wrote anything wrong. By the way I don't use a mala. And where did I write one should compare themselves to a Sant? You should re-read exactly what I wrote as I think you are misinterpreting it and taking it in a different direction. Also where have I encouraged it to be part of Gurmat? Did you even read Bhagat Namdev jis Bani I wrote and understand it?

Thanku ji Jkvlondon penji, and others for the posts and updates. looks like everybody is coming together, which is some good news

Which country are you in Guptkaur ji? The only reason he is doing this as he thinks he can get away with it and he thinks you are not going to get any help. If somehow you can show him, that you do have support then it will contribute towards changing his way of thinking. If you are abroad, there are avenues for help and also help you decide what to do in your situation. Have you tried approaching your doctor?

The police aren't going to put cameras up. The committees and sangat of the pinds gurdwaras should do it to protect the gurdwaras. I'm not sure how the camera system works there, is it same as here?

Can u post those videos here please penji Jkvlondon. Every Gurdwara should have working cctv, not just dummy ones.

In that sense it very positive then to create Ekta, that's what's needed. Sorryji I haven't seen those videos yet. I was concerned for anymore risk of lives, from the badness that has already occurred. I've edited my previous post Jkvlondon penji, just hoping it won't be another 1984. But if the darnas are having an impact then that's what God wants. Bhul chuk maaf Karo Ji.

Great ideas by Bhai Jugraj Singh Ji. He's right we are waiting for somebody to come along and sort it all out, when again and again the same beadbi is happening. I agree with the darna protests bit, he said Sikhs are turning up in masses, and nobody is listening or going to listen. Pehredaar and Granthis should work along side each other. The same way we protect our houses businesses, same way the house of Guruji should be protected, CCTV cameras, security. But the problem is who will put themselves forward this duty. This is where sangat donations can be spent too, where it's needed. The same way we do seva of others taught to us by the Gurus, the same way should be done to protect Maharaj Ji. He's right we need more organisation, so others don't have an excuse to attack, where there will be a secure organised system. This system should have been implemented years ago, then we would not be in the place we are now.

No idea HarmanSingh817 Ji, you do know if there is any topic one does not agree with or does not adhere to the rules and guidelines that it can be brought to the attention of Admin/mods? You are welcome to do that if you wish.

Which topic do you mean @harmanSingh817 Ji? Maybe you could copy paste it or make aware to the attention of Admin.

In regards to the mala subject, there are many great Saints and Mahapursh of high avasta that used a mala and still do to do simran. I feel it would be an insult to such great Souls to say they did not have the love for Waheguru, because they used a mala. Using a mala is to concentration, as the minds tends to wonder off in here, there and everywhere. A mala maybe used by elderly people as for concentration or if they cannot read Gurbani. Bhagat Namdev Ji distinguishes between saying Gods name as a ritual or in quantity to quality, showing us saying Gods name should be done from the soul. ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ ੴ सतिगुर प्रसादि ॥ Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.

You may take a look at a previous topic which was also was locked, as the forum rules point out meat should not be discussed. http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?/topic/77891-man-accused-of-cow-slaughter-stoned-to-death/page-7 I feel the below post explains everything very well on this subject: "This post has not much to do with the title of this thread, but as I have seen, it has been shifted to a different level. All my good brothers and sisters here, attacking each and other mercilessly, it is something which makes me really sad. we are nobody to condem anybody. We can surely disagree on some issues, but we must keep in mind, at the end of the day, each and everyone is responsible for his/her choices or destiny; and as such we should not force anything on anybody, rather we should treat with respect. Gurmat, is the only valid science which can unite criteria, if, only we follow Gurbani implictly. I too live in this world, and I do have friends who eat meat, but that should not be an hindrance or barrier to go along on common issues. They respect me, I too respect them, and believe it, respect is a very nice virtue, it makes us more human. So following are my two cents, which I would like to share with all of you, irrespective of if you eat meat or not... drink or not, smoke or not, because ultimately, what matters is if I still continue loving Wahiguru with His grace. Satguru Nanak, in Raag Gauree Chaytee, sheds some light about if we can eat meat, fish, eggs, fowl, etc ....... KAYTAY RUKH BIRAKH HAM CHEENAY KAYTAY PASOO UPAA-AY. I TOOK THE FORM OF SO MANY PLANTS AND TREES, AND SO MANY ANIMALS. KAYTAY NAAG KULEE MEH AA-AY KAYTAY PANKH UDAA-AY. MANY TIMES I ENTERED THE FAMILIES OF SNAKES AND FLYING BIRDS. First of all, He is telling us that, all life forms have souls in them, that is why He says we have been born several times as plants, trees(vegetable kingdom), animals (mammals), snakes, birds(those born from eggs) ..... He clearly states all life forms have souls. So that is why, killing them or eating them is a sin. Actaully, all life forms have souls. Even eating vegetabes create karmas, and add to our already heavy burden. This creation is so wisely designed by Kal Purukh, that he has set up this net to keep entangled souls in this part of the creation under his jurisdiction. No way to escape from it. But as we have to live here, and we can not avoid creating karmas, Gurmukhs advice us to collect the least amout of karmas. All creation is made of 5 tattwas or elements. And the amount of these tattwas, single or combined present in the living forms, is what makes heavier or lighter, to our karmas created. The first category is of the vegetable kingdom, which has only one tattwa active in them , and that is water. The second category is of the insects: in them only 2 elements are active, which are: fire and air. The 3rd category belongs to the bird kingdom, in them only 3 elements are active: water, fire and air. The 4th category belongs to the mammals or four legged animals, in them except ether or akash is dormant, the rest 4 are active. In the 5th category comes the human being, in him all the 5 elements are active, that is what distinguishes him from the rest of the creation, the element akash, gives him the reasoning faculty, known also as "budh" along with intelligence. Now this was a short and a quick description of the physical creation. Lets now take the following example, to ilustrate the topic being disscused above: Let us imagine, seeing someone pluking a flower from somebody´s garden, the owner sees him and give him a good scolding. 2nd case, somone kills the dog of this same fellow, the case can be reported to the police and the infractor can be fined. After some time, someone kills this man´s horse, this time the infractor can be jailed. After sometime again, some dacoit enters this man´s house and kills the house owner, this time the dacoit can be hanged, for his crime. So as we can see, for each infraction there has been a punishment, according to the degree of of the infraction commited.The punishment depends on the degree of the level of conciousness present in that particular form of life, consequently depends on the degree of the tattwas present or active in that form of life. We can not live in this creation without creating karma; and so, if we have to create karma by force, let us create or collect the least amount of it; that is why it is recomended to live on the vegetarian diet, by doing that, we collect the minnimum karma on our heads. The kiling in this creation is done on each step and is unavoidable, but by going for a vegetarian diet, killing is done to a lower level of conciousness, which means it´s effects are softer, and thus bearable. It is easier, to walk wearing a shirt, than to have 100 pounds of weight on our heads. As any normal person can see by himself or herself, in no place is written, that eating anything, like even spinachs or drinking water, killing is not involved, on the contrary, it clearly states that,life in this creation is based on life, but having said that, it is now for us to decide how much karma one wants to put on one´s head.... And these karmas collected in this way of vegetarian diet, along with a moral life ... can easily be paid, or cleared off with the help of Nam Bhakti. This is why true Gurmukhs stress upon vegetarian diet. Those who are meant to stay here, and roll up and down in the chaurasee ka chakar for quite some time, shall never accept these recomendations, they will say eat, and drink to your brim, who has seen tomorrow, spirituality is hallucination...or even go to the extent of manipulating the Bani, and say, there is no harm in eating this way or the other way, the non veg diet ..... Weak people ....justifying their weaknesses. But this weaknesses, is sure to give them pain. As it is said what you sow, so shall you reap. This is the law of karma. You sow pain, just for the pleasure of your tongue, you shall reap pain and suffering. Or, where is it seen that, you sow chilies and one reaps apples? How stupid and silly to think that way. But,even to be silly or stupid, one has the freedom to be so. But the fact is nobody can manipulate the Bani just like that, as long as His Gurmukhs keep coming , and put us on the right tracks, by giving us the right view of their predecessors, in the sacred Bani.

Omg 20years really paji ? ?Well they've changed a lot since, but it's all about the bling and big venues now. I personally think the women overdo it on outfits, and do you know how much starting price is? That's something I rather not go into. it's easier for men, they just wear the same suit lol. I went to one recently after a long time and was surprised to see so much security. I thought I was at a Kings wedding . ? The families do a good job of catering for the guests, but too much bling going on I feel. Same here nothing in common with what's going on. There was a gentleman on one of the Sikh channels, saying to spend less on weddings, because others copy but can't afford it and then get into debt. I think the channels should focus on this more. But now they changed the Walkers crisps ? Not like before. Good old five life, that you could never open, and Lilt. ? Oh and it took me a good half hour to guess who the bride and groom were. At one point I thought I was transported in Dr Who's tardis, and I thought " Rabba main Ithe kida ageyi" it felt like being zoooooomed into the future.
