Some of these simran jugtis are pretty confusing. I personally think the best Simran Jugi for Gurmanter is to just recite it over and over. Same thing with the Mool Mantar. Just repeat it over and over again instead of creating new jugtis which will just confuse the Mann.

Please show me Katha from Sant Gurbachan Singh Jee or from his writings where he says to do Chatka of a coconut. Exactly what spiritual benefit can a Sikh get from doing chatka of a coconut? how will it help their Naam Simran or Paath?

By celebrity I don' t mean anything negative. I meant famous Sants of today's times(maybe celebrity was the wrong term to use). They are all much higher than me. I am probably not even equal to the dust of their feet. I feel many great high avasta vale Gursikhs remain Gupt. For example, I know a Singh who does a lot of Bhagti, and has even had spiritual experiences, but he prefers to remain Gupt and just do his Bhagti. He says he has not reached Brahmgian level yet and still has a lot of work to do. There are many hidden gems in our Panth.

Coconut jhatka. Just another innovation. It will not help one's spiritual progress in anyway.

Look at all his videos online. I doubt he can speak any Indian language to be honest. Someone wrote online that he is unemployed and his parents pay his rent. Seems like a real low class loser type.

We have the celebrity Sants that are listed here. But I beleive the really super high avasta Vale Mahapursh are probably remaining Gupt. But Baba Mohan Singh Jee Bhindranwalay is one of them. He also remains Gupt now, preferring to do Bhagti in his old age. His rehet is still the same as it was before even though he is at such an old age. I don't know if this comes under the Sant category, but I have heard Bhai Jeevan Singh Jee is also a Bhagti vale Gusikh.

It's obvious that even his own community doesn't support him. He's all alone yet pretends he represents the whole community.

I think this saakhi is about Kand Sahib Gurdwara in Batala in the Chakri Bazar. I went there recently. The wall is still standing.

This is the best advice. Read Bani and sleep with a Sarbloh Shastar. You will not have any Bhoots near you for miles.

How much is the plane ticket from Delhi to Nander?

that's the Indian political system. Once a politician gets in, he will not leave till he dies. It doesn't matter how old you get, even if you can't walk but apne will never say "maybe I'm too old for this maybe I should concentrate what little life I have left on Paath and Simran and pass on the torch of leadership to the next generation". Problem with apne is that we have too many leaders. Everyone wants to be a leader even if they are not worthy of leadership they don't care.

The Indian government should be more concearned about terrorists in their ranks such as Tytler who have blood on their hands yet roam free. This world is full of hypocrisy. A state government(like the GOI) which is recognized by other nations is free to bully and terrorize it's population anyway they want, yet nationless nations(like the Sikhs) are branded as terrorists and separatists if they even ask for their rights. Ultimately the biggest mistake is ours that our leaders trusted nehru and gandhi in 1947 instead of demanding the restoration of the Sikh nation from the British. Master Tara Singh and Sardar Baldev Singh are said to have greatly regretted after the independence of India for not carving out a Sikh nation when they had the chance but by then it was too late to do anything.

Well, I feel that Muslims and Christians are not a good example to follow. Their way of conversion is undesired. The Buddhists in the west have done much to spreading Buddhism in the western nations but sometimes they compromise on some aspects of the Buddhist faith in order to make it more acceptable to westerners. Perhaps we can take the good methods from the Christians, Muslims and Buddhists without taking the negative aspects of their methods. A lot of people are under this strange impression that it is Anti Gurmat to do Parchar to a non Sikh. They think that just magically they (non Sikhs) will know about Sikhism and become Sikh. But that's not how it works. History is witness that our Gurus went all over India to do Parchar. After the Guru period we entered our own dark ages where parchar took the back seat do to persecution. It was only during the time of the Singh Sabha that Parchar to non Sikhs was actively done. My own family adopted the Sikh faith during the Singh Sabha movement. So parchar is needed. Every Sikh should be knowledgeable about Sikhi that he/she can help spread the message of Gurmat to non Sikhs. If we cannot do parchar ourselves then maybe we can some how help any organization or individual that is spreading Gurmat to non Sikhs.

If now the new group has decided to split let's hope they make a coordinated effort and work together instead of trying to work against each other like many splinter groups do when they first split they end up quarreling against the group they broke away from and the result is they both get weaker and lose credibility. So lets hope these two organizations don't pull each other down and instead do the right thing which is learn to work together for the betterment of the Sikhs.

When Banda Singh Bahadur became a Sikh his name was Gurbaksh Singh. Some people claim he was a Hindu because they think if a person is born in a certain faith they must remain in that faith for ever. But in our history we have many Sikhs who were born as Hindus but later adopted the Sikh faith. Famous examples are Master Tara Singh Ji, Prof Sahib Singh Ji, Bhai Rama Singh Ji(UK), Bhagat Puran Singh Ji of Pingalwara. Similarly Baba Banda Singh Jee was born in a Hindu family but he adopted the Sikh faith. More Hindus should follow their examples of adopting Gurmat instead of trying to rewrite history. Having said the above I feel it is a great weakness on our part that we are not doing parchar to the Hindus of India. If we had actively done Parchar today much of North India would have been Sikh.

The skinhead who did this terrible crime may inspire copycats to replicate such shootings. Hate crimes against Sikhs have not stopped. Sikhs in the US should get guns in accordance to the law for their protection. You don't want to be attacked while being defenseless.

Vaheguru. So sad. Only an inhuman person can do this to a puppy.

Really impressive Kathawachak he has become. He needs to train more Sikhs in the west to become like him. We need more Singhs like this who can do Katha in the local language of the country.

No, this is not good. Singhs need to get under one roof instead of creating more factions. Does anyone know the reason for the split?

Did you see the video of his follower hitting the woman police office with a staff. That was brutal. This man is a criminal. But as expected nothing will happen to him. The law doesn't apply to big Indian politicians like him.

oh I misunderstood.

But the quote I gave from Chandi di Vaar, it is not Puari 23 but Pauri 7 and this is describing the scene right before both sides began fighting. So I stand corrected.

hahahaha

But before you said Nihangs were with her now you are saying she went alone. Anyway, here is what is written in Chandi Di Vaar ਦੁਹਾਂ ਕੰਧਾਰਾ ਮੁਹਿ ਜੁੜੇ ਢੋਲ ਸੰਖ ਨਗਾਰੇ ਬਜੇ ॥ Both the armies faced each other and the drums, conches and trumpets sounded. ਰਾਕਸ ਆਏ ਰੋਹਲੇ ਤਰਵਾਰੀ ਬਖਤਰ ਸੱਜੇ ॥ The demons came in great rage, decorated with swords and armour. ਜੁਟੇ ਸਉਹੇ ਜੁੱਧ ਨੂੰ ਇਕ ਜਾਤਿ ਨ ਜਾਣਨ ਭੱਜੇ ॥ The warriors were facing the war-front and none of them knows to retrace his steps. ਖੇਤ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਜੋਧੇ ਗੱਜੇ ॥੭॥ The brave fighters were roaring in the battlefield.7. This Dohra is right before the battle began. Here Dasam Guru is writing that after Durga agreed to fight the Rakshas she lead the Devtas to battle. In this Dohra, it is stated that both the armies were facing each other.
