  1. I think we need to stop over reading into things. Sikhs aren't the only people living in this world, and you can't turn away from everyone that is not a sikh
  2. He was at a funeral and he is giving a speech about that guy. He is not saying he is narkhdari. I don't see what is so bad about his speech?
  3. Daughter of Khalsa The First Role of Sikh women In the home of a Khalsa Family I take birth and in the steps of Bibi Bhani Ji I find the purpose of life. In the age of media, there is no lack of role models to whom we mold our lives after but none can be as great as Bibi Bhani Ji. From being a daughter of Guru, she went on to be the wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother of Guru. No other women in Sikhi History or any history has received as much honor as Bibi Bhani Ji. Let us mold our lives after hers by putting Guru Ji before ourselves, reciting Gurbani and listening to our Parents. The leg of the stool on which Guru Amar Das Ji, the father of Bibi Bhani Ji, was sitting broke and Bibi Ji put her foot under it, rather than till her father to move, so he wouldn’t be disturbed. That is the love Bibi Ji had for her true Guru, that she rather be in pain then to let her Guru Ji be disturbed during his meditation. How many times do we sit in Darbar Hall in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and disturb him with our gossip? Bibi Ji couldn’t bear to disturb her Guru for even a moment and yet we daily put our needs before Guru Ji. Think back to the last time you picked Guru Ji, over your own personally needs or benefit. Think back to the feeling you get of serving someone without expecting something back is amazing. And needless to say the greatest gifts tend to come out of service you didn’t without expectation because you had no expectations for a reward and that automatically makes the reward great. Guru Ji only rewards those that don’t serve to receive a reward but instead serve selflessly. So put Guru Ji before yourself and all your desires will go away because he’ll fulfill them before you can even think of them. The easiest and best way to put Guru Ji before yourself is to recite Gurbani and live in his remembrance. Bibi Ji always lived in the remembrance of Waheguru and recited Gurbani with every breath. That is why when Guru Amar Das Ji asked her to ask for anything she wanted so he could reward her, she asked the Gurgaddi to remain in the family. She had no hunger or desire to be Guru herself or to get any benefit for herself because Gurbani had calmed her insides so much, all she saw was that in the past there had been arguments over who should be the rightful Guru and wanted those to end. She didn’t look for her personal benefit and instead thought of it being wrong that anyone should fight or argue over Gurgaddi to such a peaceful religion. By reciting Gurbani, Bibi Ji got so much calmness/purity within her that she could think beyond herself and not think of personal gain for doing so. That is why Waheguru rewarded her with the honor of being a daughter, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother and a great great grandmother of a Guru. That is more than anyone could imagine asking for. So let us recite Gurbani and be blessed. It is thru our parents that Guru Ji blesses us and that is why Guru Ji always tells us to listen and respect our parents. Bibi Bhani Ji once again gives us a great example of this by marrying Bhai Jetha Ji (who later becomes Guru Ram Das Ji) as per the wishes of her parents. Never does she question her parents on their decisions, instead places her trust in them and Waheguru. At the time of her marriage to Bhai Jetha Ji, Bibi Ji did not know that Bhai Jetha Ji will one day become the fourth Guru of the Sikhs; all she knew was that her parents thought that was the best match for her. Because she listened to her parents, Waheguru blessed her with the ability to stay close to her home and continue service of her parents. Bibi Ji was blessed with a husband that understood her and loved her parents as much as she did. Bibi Ji never questioned her parents but today we question our parents at every step on the basis of times have changed; times may have changed but the love of parents have not. It is the duty of every child to listen to and respect their parents, not become the parents themself. When we listen to our parents and do everything in our ability to make their words true, Waheguru himself supports us and makes everything all right. No parent can think ill of a child that reveres them as Guru and if for some reason they still do Waheguru himself comes to the defense of the child. Just believe in Waheguru, follow in the steps of Bibi Bhani Ji and respect and trust your parents. Remember you have two sets of parents first your spiritual parents, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji and then your actual parents. Respect them both equally but put your spiritual parents one step ahead. When we follow in the footsteps of Bibi Bhani Ji, we become the true daughters of The Khalsa. We learn to live a life where we put Guru Ji before ourselves, the importance of Gurbani and the value of Parents. Let us stop looking at the current role models that are easily available thanks to ever present media and take a look back at the one in our history that teaches us directly how to be a good daughter. Bibi Bhani Ji, the role model of every girl born into a Sikh Family.
  4. how do you guys like this video. as a girl I liked it. I think we need more videos like this, that are modern and attractive to the youth. I know some people are gonna find faults in it. My question to the sangat is, what can we do to bring Sikhi to the youth. More music videos like and what else?
  5. 3ho brainwashes people, in my opinion. I have a friend (american) she has been in 3ho and known about them only a year. Now she is in India for vaction, 2 weeks later she is engaged. Because she had a vision while doing yoga, this is who she is suppose to marry. This is the second time this year, she has done this. earlier it was a old white 3h0 sikh, now a stranger from India. 3h0 does things to people
  6. I have a birthday coming up really soon and I wanted to know how to celebrate it. I was planning on doing Sukhmani Sahib JI da path, going to the Gurudwara Sahib. I also wanted to take a gift for Guru Ji to thank Guru JI for giving me this life. What I had in mind was finding a beautiful container for the dry parsad (like patsa) because currently a old garlic container is used. And maybe some fresh flowers. I can also use some ideas on what kindof container I should get.
  7. Do you remember the sakhi where Guru Gobind SIngh Ji stood outside the brothel to stop his Singh from going inside? I am not comparing Prom to Brothel but I am asking you to keep in what kindof activities lead upto prom and happen after prom. Guru Gobind Singh Ji saved that Singh from making a mistake. And now its your turn to think about whether your going to use Guru JI's teachings to stop you from making such mistakes. Go through everything that happens at prom and ask yourself if Guru JI would approve and if you think Guru JI would, then go for it.

    Facial Hair

    Removal of hair, make up and dolling yourself up is the easy way out of it, in my opinion. As a girl with excessive hair on my face to the point my father has commented i am growing a beard and others in my family politely mentioned hair removal or bleaching my face, I know that is not all about the hair. Outside of my immediate family, no one ever notices my excessive hair. It is over shadowed by my personality. I have had more proposals than I can remember and have never been made to feel inferior based on my looks or clothes, infact its the other way around, I am made to feel good about who i am. I think anyone wants to remove facial hair, I would recommend they work on their personality. First love yourself and secondly make yourself pleasant to be around. With those two things, you will never be held back by your hair, instead you'll find others sticking up for you and complimenting you. love yourself, and others will love you too. feeling insecure only makes the flaws stick out more
  9. thank you for the prayers, things are looking up. waheguru ji is great
  10. I am having a really bad day. everything i touch seems to be turning to dust. please ask waheguru ji to protect me through today and help me get through this day.
  11. i am in the states, not uk. how well this group help me? could you possibly tell me more about them? and also how they can help in this situation
  12. Is there such thing as black magic? My family is falling apart and all our hard work is turning into crap and getting messed up. My grandma thinks that some members of my extended family has done black magic on us because they have never liked us and have often left black magic crap in our house over the years. In the past the more black magic they did, the more we prospered and more they went down. But we recently allowed one that was on hard times to live with us and we been sinking. Even now that she is gone, our family hasn't been able to rebound. We have never believed in black magic and just prayed to waheguru ji and he has always been there for us. We still don't believe in black magic. but sometimes you need some thing to give you hope. SO I am asking the sangat what does Guru Ji say to do to counter black magic? Please help us get through this situation.
  13. It is odd for guys to shave their armpits or atleast it seems to me. I think you should just ignore these people and not even give it a second thought. be strong in your faith.
  14. My grandma wanted a G slate, so we got her one. Problem is she doesn't know english. What kindof things can I do to make it easier for her to use? its a android system
  15. i want that sardar simile :(

  16. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! If they put it online or do live streaming, could you please let us know? I would like to watch it. thanks -guptkuri Waheguru ji ka khalsa ,waheguru ji ki fateh!
  17. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! As a Sikh women, I think the problem stems down to equality. Just like West London Singh Veer Ji said that if he drinks, then what can he say to his sister if she wants to drink. I think in our culture we tend to give more freedom to do things against Sikhi, instead of trying to keep both boys and girls from doing bad things. Its like a boy can do whatever and then a girl when she complains is given a tiny bit of freedom and then she takes advantage of the freedom to do same things as her brother. It should be that both of the children are raised by the same expectations and same rules. She can't drink, neither can he. She can't cut her hair, neither can he. Only when we get rid of inequality and educate, well we be able to stop conversion. -guptkuri Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh!
  18. Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh! I might sound a bit rude and I apologize in advance for that. Who is bigger Guru Granth Sahib Ji or Sant? Guru Granth Sahib Ji, right? If you are sitting in presence of Guru Ji, you don't disrespect Guru Ji by ignoring Guru Ji. Thats what the guy was doing. I know he might be texting about someone getting cancer but the person would not have succumbed to cancer or something else bad would not have happened if he had waited to be outside before texting. If you did the right thing, which you did, you should not be afraid of the Sant because the Sant should support you in this matter. You should be more afraid of not doing the right thing in Guru Ji's presence and Guru Ji's anger. If Guru Ji is happy with you, Sant Ji can never be mad at you. Would you have felt this guilty had you not done nothing and let this beadbi happen? Would you have been worried afterwards if Guru Ji is mad at you for not doing nothing? You should ask Guru Ji to give you the strength to always do the right thing as taught by Guru Ji and to give you the Strength to put Guru Ji before any Sant, person or thing. Sorry, if I said anything wrong. -guptkuri Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh
  19. If they want to run a country that is gonna be the homelands of Sikhs, than they should take amrit and try to be good gursikhs. If they don't want to take amrit and still run the country, isn't it kindof pointless to have a Sikh homeland?
