Gurfateh!! My advice to anyone wishing to join their country's armed forces is go for it. This is the greatest time to do so, we are in an age where nations recognise Sikhs and will go out their way to help you. I was reading the RAF's uniform requirements the other day and they are so strict on things like hair and the hat having to be 25mm above the eyebrows, but the only group who are exempt from this are Sikhs...i see this as kirpa, Akaal Purukh is specifically helping us go into every career path. Not only that, because there are not many Gursikhs in the armed forces, just one person being in there will act as parchaar, it will help people understand better who we are. Now we were born into an army which was created to be universal, to promote peace but to defend those who need defending. We all live in different parts of the world, im in the UK and this is my homeland this is my tharti and i will do what i can to protect it and my people. Fair enough you may not agree with the current wars in iraq and afghanistan for example, however by rooting out evil from the countries it's being grown in its being prevented from flowering in our own, whether that be attacks or militant uprisings. Also think about the men and women who are risking their lives from our countries even though they dont agree on the wars themselves but just so that we can be less afraid of walking out during the day or working in high rise offices. Think about the reduction in heroine imports since operation herrick in afghanistan, if they werent there fighting insurgents then our drug and crime problems would be worse and its could be your kids coming across these drugs in schools. So all in all if you want a career in the armed forces then the decision should be yours but in terms of sikhi i cant see much holding you back. (i probably sound like i work as a recruitment officer...bur rest assured im not lol ... ) Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! I remember the Akhand Jaap program at GNNSJ last year and that was absolutely amazing, the sangat was just fantastic. For those 24 hours sangat was in Anand. I don't put that down to the Gurdwara or to the Darbar Sahib. It is all because of Kirpa, when sangat joins together in Ekta, Maharaaj blesses us. Whether you have a kirtan smagam in a Gurdwara, a park, or living room or even a beach. It makes no difference. ਕਾਰਜਿ ਕਾਮਿ ਬਾਟ ਘਾਟ ਜਪੀਜੈ ॥ While you work at your job, on the road and at the beach, meditate and chant. ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਜੈ ॥੨॥ By Guru's Grace, drink in the Ambrosial Essence of the Lord. ||2|| I'm sure the sangat will be coming from far and wide, and just to add to that we'll be in the sangat of our Guru, why would you not want to be there?? ਜਿਥੈ ਜਾਇ ਬਹੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਸੋ ਥਾਨੁ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ਰਾਮ ਰਾਜੇ ॥ Wherever my True Guru goes and sits, that place is beautiful, O Lord King. ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਸੋ ਥਾਨੁ ਭਾਲਿਆ ਲੈ ਧੂਰਿ ਮੁਖਿ ਲਾਵਾ ॥ The Guru's Sikhs seek out that place; they take the dust and apply it to their faces. From what I've heard, this is the first time the Gurudwara is taking Maharaaj Ji to the NECC as it is a Gurudwara owned building and will only be used in the interest of Sikhi. Please lets join together to acompany our Satguru and sit together like true Khalsa. Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! Does anyone have the video with the music as it's been taken off youtube :umm: ?? The full one is very interesting, but the vid with the music seems to be more powerful and is a far better video to show sikh soc. Thanks in advance :TH: Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! As you may have gathered from the topic title, I've been looking for a video which was on youtube and now i can't find, with an american lecturer talking about his travels in punjab and coming across Sant Ji. Does anyone have it or know where it is? Thanks in advance. Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! Another place that may interest you all is Bobbo's Chippy on windmill lane, smethwick. They have a separate fryer for all the veg stuff, and treat amritdhari's with a lot of respect....enjoy!! Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! Guru Ji's Sipahi and Jassa veer ji thanks for both of those, i take it's sanskrit then well if anyone is able to translate it please do let me know..... Thank you again Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! A friend of mine is selling this shastar in israel and he has asked if i knew what the writing meant, he reckons its an address of some kind...i was wondering whether someone here might be able to read it??? thank you in advance :TH: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GIANT-ANTIQUE-INDO-P...1QQcmdZViewItem Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! I'm currently attepmting to make one out of oak should be done bythis weekend...hopefully it will come out ok if it does...ill tell u how to do it.... Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! I joined to give the other side of an argument, to try and make debates more balanced. Sometimes on this forum the majority may all agree with something but that in someone else's eyes could be wrong, and i do not believe that you can make that person change their views just because they do not agree with your own....its all about learning from each other!! :TH: Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaaj was Farladhari as was Baba Fateh Singh Ji. Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! I don't see the harm in healthy discussion, i don't believe you can just say we can't stop discussing something. If it goes out of hand it is the mods job to sort it out otherwise, i believe those who have knowledge should spread it and let each individual draw their own conclusions from it. I was speaking to a muslim and she said to me, you know a fair amount on Islam and you obviously look into it. If Sikhism was so perfect then you wouldn't need to find out about other religions. That in my eyes is complete ignorance. I believe that we have been given this brain and intellect by Akaal Purukh and we should utilise it to capacity, it is very to easy to be ignorant, but then you won't ever have strong beliefs, as you would have had nothing to compare it to solidify your beliefs. We are on an ever lasting learning quest and we should be more than happy to help each other. I hope i made some kind of sense :TH: Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!

Gurfateh!! I think you mean bakra, it was not defenseless, Akaal Purukh was always by itside and now it's Mahaprashad, again which was Maharaaj Ji's hukham. Bhul Chuk Maaf! Gurfateh!!
