Could be...we see many more male Sants than female Sants...

I second this request

Native warriors also had long hair. The nfl Player Troy polamalu says he keeps long hair cuz the greatest warriors in history have.

If only we could have done this in regards to 84

Have you got up at Amritvela yet? Try it, look at the stars during Amritvela, listen to Shabads

WJK WJF, does anyone have links or recordings to Mool Mantar being done by a Sant?? Thanks!

They stopped selling them a while ago in response to the petition.

Why doesn't the SGPC do soemthign!

I agree...

good info here...neutral viewpoint too

MOst of the saints of history have had long hair so i think history speaks for itself.

yea, maybe something like the passage below? im no writer and its not at all organized, LOL, but just try reading it in a tolkien-style or older english sorta way, a professional could do a real good job with it : (Before Vaisakhi) The King emerged after much deliberation. For three days He had sat, steeped in meditational remembrance of the Author of Events. He had made contact with the Supreme, and as the case with those who do meet Him, eons can pass in the blink of an eye. But the Guru was seen by Singhs leaving His tent on the third day. He had a plan, an idea to change the course of the world. An act was to unfold in the year 1699 that would bring about the birth of a new civilization. The Guru, who spoke only when speech was deemed fit as His speech was not one of normal men, gathered His things and sat and wrote. He was pencilling invitations that were to be sent to the unfree people of the land. From afar was the notice recieved and heeded. Those eager to see the King in all His glory came from all walks of life, lowly as well as high homes. And it was from these events which were to follow that the Brotherhood of the Khalsa was to be born. This order of noble men and women has survived until our time, but there are few who stay true to its roots. Maany associate themselves with this selective bunch, though they may lack even the simplest credentuals, and thus has the image of the pure ones been negatively affected, and to a lineage which should have been kept pure impurities were seeping in. Things to be remembered were not, and such was the occurence of events that even the annals of history have lost memory of these great ones. But there are those Saints alive still who serve the Eternal King and the Gurus speech is held in high regard by them. They heal and bring the stray onto the rightful path, and with their blessing, the world may yet know of the bravery of the Sikhs of old, for it is from them we have descended and it is unto them we should hope to go when death comes to take us.

Yeah, Deh Shiva would be great before battle and Ardass as well. It would be great if someone could write a Tolien like novel of our history, our true events. I honestly think it could be real cool, like when the rohirrim returned to helm's deep could be like the 40 Mukte returning to Guru Ji. There are other similarities too, but just saying, imagine reading our history in that sort of novel/story form. It woujld be gripping IMO, from the starting at Sri Guru NAnak Dev Ji coming to clean the hearts of people to Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji giving his life to Sri Guru Hargobind Singh Ji, son of the fifth Guru, mobilizing an army, to Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, preparing an eternal throne for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

SearchGurbani.com probably has it as well.Did the Singhs recite this before stepping onto the battlefield or as they faced their enemy or was it recited to them by Guru Ji? surely, before battle, Guru Ji did say something as silence doesn't seem likely?

WJK WJF ANyone have any writings or know of what Guru Ji used to say before battles, maybe to get the Singhs bir ras and ready for war?

Really great stuff, thanks!

From my experience , they allowed us to tape our Karra up On the arm when playing. Best to keep kirpan hidden imo

What sport?

I mean to say, brother/sister, that feet toward Mecca is not as bad as back to our Guru Ji because our Guru Ji is so much greater than Mecca and what it contains. We can't use that Sakhi to support this.

That to make Sikhism pure, we need more pure people, (not saying I am), into Sikhi, and less impure (fakes, beadbi pracharaks, w.e.), so if these fakes don't want anything to do with Sikhi, it's not a HUGe loss

Gods everywhere, but His power Is concentrated in Guru Ji. You use Mecca to Support your claim? Are you kidding me, bro? You think Mecca is the same as Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaaj? Guru Ji>Mecca

The purification of Sikhi may require the impure ones to stray from the path.

WJK WJF, i have a list of questions that I'm hoping you can answer: 1) On ang 1035, Guru Ji says 'For endless eons, there was total darkness", but didnt Guru Ji also say that creation had been destroyed and remade in the past? Is the translation wrong? Do they mean there had not been creation for a VERY LONG time? 2)On ang 19, Guru Ji says "'From water, He created the three worlds; in each and every heart He has infused His Light." It's a metaphor that may even be connected with the next/previous line, but what does it mean? 3)Gurbani speaks of the three worlds, the four sources of creation, and the five elements, what does Guru Ji mean by this? Also, how are we made up of the five elements? 4)On ang 64, Guru Ji speaks "The day and the sun shall pass away; the night and the moon shall pass away; the hundreds of thousands of stars shall disappear." When They say hundreds of thousands of star, that is lost in translation, right? They meant they were really countless? PS: Anyone else notice errors in how the English has been translated from time to time? I have to say it can get really confusing when there are misinterpretations of Gurbani.
