i do not know how calling oneself follower of some one is comparing himself to one , IF I CALL MY SELF FOLLOWER OF BABA BANDA SINGH JI < DO I COMPARE MYSELF TO HIM?we should refrain from putting words in any one's mouth. TODAY THERE ARE 500sects in our faith, with expansion , tomorrow ther may be 5000 sects , 50000 sects , do we have to hate all those who have ideological differences with us ? is not it better to leave them alone by not giving them any importance and do the sewa our own way ?

As far I know , during amrit sanchar , six singhs participate in the process first five singhs ask the sixth if he is pakka in keeping rehat and has not performed any act that can be termed as kurehat ? the sixth singh affirms and says yes by the grace of Guru i have been observing the rehat in letter and spirit then he joins in panj piyaras and another Sing out of them is asked the same question , same way all six singhs confirm before the panj piyaras that they have been observing rehat in full - this is called as Sudhaayi (the purifications ) As the process is observed under the Chattar Chaya of Guru Granth Sahib ji after the sudhai , one singh performs ardaas before Guru Sahib ji that Sangat is ready with amrit abhilakis (Those seeking Amrit) and Panj Piyare to perform amrit sanchaar . Satguru ji Kirpa karo , panja singhan wich aap vart key amrit abhilakhi sangtan nu amrit di daat bakhsho. Thereafter after hukamnama , five singhs prepare the amrit and the sixth performs the duty of Granthi, sitting besides the Guru Sahib ji . Furthe as per REHAT Maryada and the rehat namas by hazoori Singhs (bhai daya singhji , Bhai Chupa Singh jiand bhai Nand lal Singh ji) the person who wants to take Amrit should remain present from the start of the sanskarand someonne joining after the amrit preparation has started cannot partake amrit in that congegration (he should wait for the next occassion , thus some one in the thread telling that at some place one group of panj pyare prepared and another group performing the rest of it , I humbly disagree that is not according to the maryada , and Sant Jarnail Singh cannot at all initiate such act , I have to disagree This kind of queries indicate that sangat does not refer to the books and publications there are a lot of available on the net nowadays , I equest the singhs to please refer the available literature . For example for this query , had the singh refered to the Sikh rehat maryada easily available at many sites , had not raised the querry. Any way , any query is welcome , but please make it a habit to read the authenic references, or we are bound to feel ashamed when some person from other faith raises question about the basic tenets of our faith I must offer apologies if someone feels offended

plz also start adding 100every day auto every day,for my son (japjit sing) not having separate id on sangat fateh *Will do *

What i have presumed is that Guru Sahib ji Showed to the Aurangzeb the hypocricy of the ruling class. He wrote in zafarnama that Though Aurangzeb describes himself as the person against idol wrship (but shikan) , still he is taking help of and helping the idol worshippers ( the pahadi Rajey ) against Guru Sahib ( who himself is against the idol worship) Hence all the talk of the ruling class is always double talk , they say something and in practice do something entirely opposite . Which is even today true and relevent , Do I need to elaborate? the baani of the guru is relevent always I think we should know the difference between BUTSHIKAST AND BUT SHIKAN WJKK WJKF

we can read baani any time , but nitnem are prescribed for morning and evening evening baani is rehraas & night it is sohila , its better if we stick to evening time for rehraas , but for practical difficulties , there is no bar, we can do the paath anytime before going to bed , when we are supposed to recite Sohila . Further it is only matter of making it a habit, if we want to stick to the right time reciting rehraas only takes 15- 20 minutes. I remember my childhood days when we all brothers after the playtime would perform panj ishnana and one of us (there were turns datwise) would recite rehraas and all would listen including our mother who used to prepare food alongside after the ardaas our fathe would return back home from work( he used to recite on his way back) then all would eat togather . thus the food prepared while reciting bani has made unique effect on the family ( the rest is left to the readers imagination) It is only a matter of habits and the upbringing we get from the parents I see in the 1469 the same spirit of gursikhi and salute his PARENTS for the sikhi spirit in them and their child I ALWAYS THANK GOD WE GOT SUCH FABULOUS PARENTS , THEY BOTH IMBIBED IN THEIR KIDS THE SIKHS VALUES SO STRONG THAT EVEN FOREIGN LAND COULD NOT POLLUTE OUR IDEOLOGY

just browsing thru, pl add 19 to round up *added Waheguru Jeo *

plz add 1000 for bkb23 and 500from another sis from local sangat fateh *Waheguru Ji, Dhan Guru Ke pyaare Added!*

My son - it does not take more than 30 minutes FOR ALL THE PANJ BANIS once you remember by hearteven reciting from gutka takes nor more than 40min , its just a matter of making a habit . When we were school going, our mother didnot give us breakfast till we completed our nit nem , so by the time we were in our teens we could recite by heart, After bath we would start and by the time we were all ready with dastara and the uniform the nitnem was over. It is not difficult , it's just a matter of making it habit Plz give it a TRY tHE gURU WILL SHOWER HIS BLESSINGS AND YOU WILL FIND ITS VERY EASY WJKK WJKF

I bow to those (who are so close to The Almighty)whom He always listens

i wonder why someone did not pay attention to such a nice commentary in almost 4 years since posted . Very nicely prepared & well explained congrats for devoting time , it really shows the level of devotion & study .

can we do something right at the forum and otherwise to encourage participant gurslkhs and the sangat? I suggest publishing names of top 10contributors along with the daily count(plz exclude me & bkb23) further we may deliver some gursikhi gifts to the top contributors , our family would be pleased to perform the sewa to despatch the same from here India waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

the post of LATE K S Deep ji leaves nothing unanswered. As far the paath on digital media, Gurbaani in any kind of media has to be treated with utmost respect & regard , all other maryada may be followed as we are reciting gurbani from Guru Sahib ji

Well i do not think one can make patase at home, The patasa makers in market (who also make revdis & gachaks ) make thick chashni with little of mitha soda(bicarb) which cleans sugar of impurities and gives fluffy looks too ; and then make small droplets of chasni on white muslin cloth spread on floorthe soda in the chashni makes it fluffy during the cooling & drying , it is an expert's job not even a chef would be able to accomplish . better buy from market .

Read carefully & absorb the meaning , any piece of Gurbani is really inspiring

plz add 500 extras for yesterday , I hope our family (of we all sons &daughters of Guru Gobind singh ji & mata sahib kaur ji) picks speed and the goal is reached really fast Wahe guru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh *Mod note: Waheguru Waheguru ji Waheguru Ji, added jeo!*

handplcked jathedaars and pradhans will never be able to do the needful . only commoners with convition have done so in the past and so it will happen in future too . Gurdwara sudhar movement was started and run by the commoners . Guru Gobind Singh ji very well had the clear picture about this , and so he never put faith in aristocracy (hindu rulers) and the intelligentia( the priest class ) of his time . We should take cue from guru ji's life and do something like wise

this is not a general note , it has appeared in the paper Dt 7 may , with the heading:- SHRIMANI CMITTEE WALLON CHAPE "PANTH PRAKASH " WICH KUFAR DA SIKHAR APPEARED ON PAGE 7 , can be seen on website of the paper ,rozana spokesman.com the news is attributed to charanjit singh of Amritsar r further , what i mean is , while enjoying our own freedom of expression , why someone should try to gag others, instead of starting healthy debate . Does freedom of expression means my freedom only? Does every body has to agree with me on all points? othewise it blasphemy , is this kind of thinking not talibanisation ? any society masches forward by dropping the outdated and accepting new ideas, (not dropping the eternally true values) through discussions, but criticising others in such foul language is real ly disgusting

the real question is why sikh youth has been going away from heritage? answer :- the parents have no time to spend with them, just forget the quality time the parents have themselves little or no knowledge (barring a few) of the rich heritage The elders do not know how to give covincing logical answers to the queries and questions of the youth & teenagers regarding religion and spirituality. The study of religion , spirituality (and philosophy ) is not encouraged ( Actually discouraged) by the parents , thinking that it is intrusion in regular school curricula.

We have a news in Punjabi Spokesman criticizing publication of "Prachin Panth prakash" written by Ratan singh bhangu(sometimes aroung 1860-1870) .The contention of the writer of the news article is that it contains derogatory and anti Gurmat ideas attributed to Baba Banda Singh ji . Ihave read the book from 1st to last page , the comments ascribed are to an extent true, but (I) the SGPC has been publishing the book since long the preface clearly describing that the book is completely unabridged ie no part has been deleted , the editing of only matras and missing letters in mss have been undertaken which means that the editors and the publishers have tried to put the book before public as it was written by the author. the author hailing from the family of Bhai Mehtab Singh (who was part of the duo who killed Massa Ranghar in Darbar Sahib ) was a good source of sikh history during his lifetime, agreeing some of the incidents described by him may not be true, he may have personal bias against some sects (as the Spokesman team too has), but we cannot dismiss every word written by the author. most of all , like Joginder Singh , Kala Afgana and likes , Ratan Singh bhangu too had the right to speak, write and express what he thought correct.Is not it the double standard being shown by the people named above ? they dismiss all the historic works of sikh history , be it Suraj Prakash , Guru Mahima , Mahima Prakash, Guru Bilas , Panth Prakash . Even I myself do consider some of the incidents described in these books incorrect, but cannot deny the importance of these books as valuable source of sikh history. Does these guys at work in The Spokesman think that they are the only learned people (past present and Future ) born in Sikh Families?Do any work to be published about sikhism needs only their prior approval and we do not have right to read what this gang does not like? Sorry if some one finds my views offeding
