  1. Safal (satgur ke seva safal hai...)
  2. Manvir Singh Ji, you never fail to inspire. Thanks for posting this
  3. Thats quite an interesting point actually- the wedding will be one of the most days of a persons life, and wedding photos will be displayed in the house, and shown to everyone. So if someone is dressed as a keshdhari, there is certainly cause to see a positive. Wouldn't it be great if the kids of all such individuals upon seeing the wedding pictures asked "dad, what happened to your turban and beard?"
  4. Does anyone know the details from Coventry? Which gurdwara is the coach going from?
  5. Thank you for this post- this is something which has long bothered me. Additioanlly, there is also the fact that people are increasingly choosing to don red dastaars at weddings, any other colour is considered unusual. This custom of red dastaar is a hindu custom which originated at the time of the Mogul's, who forbid non-muslims to wear any colour turban but red, and even then only for special ceremonies (ie weddings). This is what the custom of red was developed in relation to. This tradition should therefore not apply to Sikhs who rejected such threats of the moguls, and were instructed to wear two dastaars after being told to not wear one, who built high takhats to dispbey orders not to do so, who in every which way rejected the laws of the Mogul's. In this manner, we degrade ourselves by wearing the red dastaars of slavery, and subservience to the moguls.
  6. I think we should applaud the efforts of Guru Ji De Panth Da Sevadar, and should do our best to offer support in this seva. Despite my earlier criticisms, I feel we should support this attmept, as it would further help the Sikh cause, especially in these times where Sikhi is internally and externally under attack, and the Sikhi Saroop is under attack. We should do our best to present people with the reality of who Sikhs are, and what they believe. If Sri Harmandar Sahib was to be given this (useless, false, but significant to non-sikhs) title, it would indeed put the panth forward in a good light. Hoewever the reasons against this argument are also very valid, and I can see how this would be seen as degrading by some, and thus this is truly a case where personal choice is the most significant thing. I personally feel; after examining both sides of the argument, I will be placing a vote. Also, in response to Inder 84- the moans were not about the actual cost, but the error in the earlier mesage that gave the incorrect cost. Thankfully that matter has ow been resolved by "Guru Ji De Panth Da Sevadar".
  7. Can you please ammend your quote where you state it only costs 0.5 pence- this may give the impression that you are deliberately trying to mislead people, as the term 0.5 GBP which is used on the site is rarely used normally. I do not personally feel you are at all trying to deliberately mislead anyone, but the discrepancies in the amounts may lead to such an impression being given- I originally had my doubts about the whole thing, but having taken your advice and raed the site, withdraw such doubts from this topic.
  8. It is a premium rate service- 50p for texts and phone calls to get an access number- I think amandeeps got it spot on
  9. Can you do the rakhiya de shabads that some people recite before Kirtan Sohila (or sohila as some prefer to call it/ suggest it should be called- don't want to start that debate again) at any time in the day?
  10. I may be way off here, and may offend some people or whatnot, but the halo is obviously there to show whatever individual is under it is special. Lets look at the alternative used by others to convey this 'speciality'- ie giving people extra limbs, or body parts of animals etc etc- I think I prefer the halo personally. Sorry to all, but just had to be said.
  11. "The Indian Congress party and BJP probably pray General Pinochet gets reincarnated as a hindu " Theres a whole list of potential Indian Gpvernment officials awaiting re-incarnation Hitler Goebbels Goering Pol Pot Mussolini Stalin The list just goes on and on for potential recruits for them!
