  1. This video is put by a Hindu brother on the shabad : ਮਲਾਰ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ मलार महला ५ ॥ Malār mėhlā 5. Malaar, Fifth Mehl: ਹੇ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਹੇ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਹੇ ਦਇਆਲ ਲਾਲ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ हे गोबिंद हे गोपाल हे दइआल लाल ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥ He gobinḏ he gopāl he ḏa▫i▫āl lāl. ||1|| rahā▫o. O Lord of the Universe, O Lord of the World, O Dear Merciful Beloved. ||1||Pause|| ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਨਾਥ ਅਨਾਥ ਸਖੇ ਦੀਨ ਦਰਦ ਨਿਵਾਰ ॥੧॥ प्रान नाथ अनाथ सखे दीन दरद निवार ॥१॥ Parān nāth anāth sakẖe ḏīn ḏaraḏ nivār. ||1|| You are the Master of the breath of life, the Companion of the lost and forsaken, the Destroyer of the pains of the poor. ||1|| ਹੇ ਸਮ੍ਰਥ ਅਗਮ ਪੂਰਨ ਮੋਹਿ ਮਇਆ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੨॥ हे सम्रथ अगम पूरन मोहि मइआ धारि ॥२॥ He samrath agam pūran mohi ma▫i▫ā ḏẖār. ||2|| O All-powerful, Inaccessible, Perfect Lord, please shower me with Your Mercy. ||2|| <a class="dict" href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%85%E0%A9%B0%E0%A8%A7" ;="" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(128, 0, 0); ">ਅੰਧ ਕੂਪ ਮਹਾ ਭਇਆਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਪਾਰਿ ਉਤਾਰ ॥੩॥੮॥੩੦॥ अंध कूप महा भइआन नानक पारि उतार ॥३॥८॥३०॥ Anḏẖ kūp mahā bẖa▫i▫ān Nānak pār uṯār. ||3||8||30|| Please, carry Nanak across the terrible, deep dark pit of the world to the other side. ||3||8||30|| But , in videos he have put images of krishna . Maybe the guy thinks gobind and gopal refer to krishna . Do you find this irritating or is it only me ?
  2. Thanks . But , at the end of day , how many people are influenced by it ? very few . we need better ways of preventing patit-punaa .

  4. I stay in Powai ( near the 2 major lakes of mumbai ) . I look singh only in the sense that I am kesadhari , wear turban and keep beard .
  5. I stay in predominantly hindu society , but other sikh families are there . I know there ain't any discrimination here but still I feel some "daal vich kaala ". I am a singh only by name. Forgive me , other than that you may hardly find any quality of singh in me .
  6. Majority people in this forum are not staying in India . Sikhs in India ( unlike sikhs abroad ) will have to pay for being a sikh , like innocent sikhs who paid for being a sikh in streets of delhi in 1984 . bhul chuk maaf
  7. I know sun may rise from west and may set in east , but Khalsa can never vanish . Sikhi saroop is god's own saroop .
  8. A country which could be called sikh homeland . A country where sikh interests are given priority . A country which may send missionaries and pracharaks worldwide to spread sikhi . A country where you can feel safe . A country where no support for RSS or panth dokhi A country where currency bears the sikh motto : "deg teg fateh!" A country which may act on behalf of sikhs worldwide . A country which can persuade other countries to lax helmet or kirpan rules on sikhs ? Some people say entire world will become khalistan ! I wonder!
  9. Right since its inception , sikh panth has been under attack from brahmans , mullahs and some people within our community ( ram rai , etc ) But , what I am seeing now is surprising to me . I have been observing since past few years now that RSS is hellbent on destroying sikh identity . They simply cannot tolerate dastar and dhadha . They made rashtriya sikh sangat , purchased Badal family , some of our leaders ( I dont know how many !) . Then , we are also under attack from some manmukhs sikhs who did a big disservice to sikh kaum ( radhasoamis , nirankaris , saccha sauda ) . Unfortunately I dont know who is RSS agent and who is true guru of sikh . There has been so much of confusion over dasam granth controversy (controversy probably created by RSS ) . I can't even comprehend how the panth could have survived without blessings of our guru , considering that people are hell bent on destroying sikhi .
  10. Today's punjab is not our guru's punjab . It is panjab of nastiks ! I stay in Mumbai ( where sikhs are a very small minority ) but I think sikhs here are keeping better rehat as compared to panjabis ! Ofcourse , here also u see sikh boys cutting hair but no more than in panjab ! of course , sikhism throughout india is not too strong now .SAD!
  11. I wont be surprised if next census of punjab reveals sikhs as minority in their own homeland punjab ! ( Sikhs in this context mean atleast keshadhari person ) . Even on punjabi channels , I see one sardar for every 100 monne . Situation is so bad ! And don't discount the bhaiyye coming into punjab from other states and sikhs moving from panjab to foreign countries.
  12. welcome to forum YES you can ! You will be surprised to know that you are not the first guy from america who wish to embrace this path . You need discipline and dedication and ofcourse faith on sikhism to become one of those warriors . GOOD LUCK !
  13. It seems things are going to be really much more bad before roller coaster starts to move up again !
  14. Its not related to sikhi , but did u ever knew that the place we live in is sooooooooooooo big !
  15. I am sure he is not the only one in Sikh qaum , Today most of our raagis do kirtan only for money. Thats why so much of new album release. This is very disgusting language ! Just imagine what impression he is giving about amritdharis to patit sikh youths who already have a bad impression about gyanis and gursikhs !
  16. This question has been in my mind right since I am reciting bani . Mool mantar is the best example of saying what I want to say . ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ || If we literally read mool mantar , it would be like :"EkOankar satinamu karta purakhu nirbhao nirvairu akaal murati ajooni saibhan gur prasadi . Note , that this is not how we read mool mantar . We recite it as "EkOankar satnam karta purakh nirbhao nirvair akaal murat ajooni saibhan gurprasad" Why is there sihari in ਸਤਿ , if we are not going to pronounce it as "sati" .?Why is there aunkad in ਨਾਮੁ , if we are not going to pronounce it as "namu" ? This is the case throughout recitation of SGGS . Can you please explain why ? why some matraas are not recited ? if not to be recited , then why they are there in the word ? pul chuk maaf
  17. Its interesting that one of the commandments of moses to his people was : Leviticus 19:27 that "You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard." Maybe all these prophets were sikhs !!
  18. ARE YOU SERIOUS ? ITS SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ITS WRITTEN IN A HINDU BOOK ! SOURCE PLEASE ?
  19. On some other internet forums , I see non-sikhs so happy with sikhism considering that sikhism gives equal rights to women and treat other religions with respect . Now , I am wondering that same guy who is so happy with sikhism , what would he be thinking when he comes to know that punjab has highest female feoticide rate ? and when they come to know that sikh women cannot even do kirtan in darbar sahib ? also , it isn't cool when they realise that despite castelessness claims by sikhs , sikh society does have caste . forgive me for saying this , but we need a bit of house cleaning in our own house if we want chardikala of panth . what do you say ?
  20. The following paragraph is taken from yahoo answers forum where a sikh is said to have experienced hell Could such things really happen ? Very spooky " So I dropped onto bed for an afternoon nap, but was in a very tormented state of mind having some thoughts that were disturbing me and was really fed up with everything going on in life, but was so dead tired that I just started falling asleep, and just before I actually fell asleep, I asked Vaheguru (God) (I'm a Sikh) to show me the reason why I'm getting these dark thoughts and feeling so low and tormented, and then I fell asleep halfway but noticed I was physically paralyzed and unable to move at all although I was looking at the ceiling- next thing I know I start feeling like something here is really wrong-dead wrong..I start hearing taunting and laughing in a really evil, strange, alien and frightening tone of voice- and as I'm looking at the ceiling- its like a vision of a strange place opens up through the ceiling- I see a barren, dry, desert-like somewhat dim stretch of land with some black rocks in the background upon which I see these creatures sitting sideways- they have pitch black silhouettes and I notice they aren't quite animals but not human either- they're grotesque looking and beastly and it fills me with sheer panic and terror to even look at them, I get the feeling as if I'm in the wrong place- as if there is something insane and deadly-almost fatal about this place and that it isn't meant for any human being to experience (listen to Mortal Kombat 2: Pit/Wasteland theme on youtube- it perfectly captures the way i was feeling about this place) and I notice now that the voices were coming from these things; the strange thing is that the more I focus on these beings- the louder their taunting, roaring and laughter becomes- and I feel a choking/squeezing sensation around my neck as if a noose was tied around it- I feel convinced at this point that I'm actually being pulled into hell and I'm desperately trying to move my arms and legs to no avail- so I quickly pray to Vaheguru to help me- after I do so a couple times- suddenly I feel a flash of light and then the pull towards the vision ceases, and the tightening grip around my neck stops as well.. and I wake up haunted by what just happened.. Now this could just be another sleep paralysis episode (had these for years especially when I was a teen- many times they were frightening bizarre experiences) with my brain creating false sensory hallucinations of vision and sound- ok fine, but the thing that haunts me was the physical sensation of being choked by something which was so strong at the time, and why did this particular experience stop only after I prayed?
