Touching, but the Video speaks for it self

no wonder sikhs are getting slapped up left right and center..when you have a mentality like this...chandi di vaar and all banis that promote bir raas..should be recited as much as possible...stop sidelining sri dasam granth as uneccesary bani..the reason why we are in such a bad state since the british invaded punjab is because we have neglected sri dasam granth ji far too much..we are making our sikhs weak

Sorry Singh! I respect Sri Dasam Granth Jee and am not sure myself about the rules so that's why i pasted that topic Bhul Chuk Mwaaf

I think the rules are that if this Paath is done when the Sun Dawns then it must be read until Sunrise otherwise something will happen as it is a War Paath and you can't read it all the time or too much. To support this have a look at this: http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?/topic/59418-chandi-di-vaar/ especially the 2nd post.

If Sant Baba Jarnail Singh Jee was here today each and every person who has done beadbi would have been ripped to shreds!

Huddersfield Vaisakhi Nagar Keertan - Sunday 15th April 2012

Why would the Sikh try to attack her? Now if the Sikh guy defended her it'd make sense!

Awareness that's one! Like in my local area (Huddersfield) the Sikh Awareness Society have been invited at the local gurdwara to talk about Grooming and Brainwashing which is aimed at Young Sikhs! I hope many people attend especially the youth. So programs like these and other stalls, activities can be put up to raise awareness. Also, keeping a link with the Sikh Awareness Society on Facebook/Email will benefit Sikhs.

There have been some sants in the past with great parchaaraks such as Sant Waryam Singh Jee, Sant Hardev Singh Lullo Vale, Giani Sant Jee Maskeen, Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, Sant Gurbachan Singh Bhindranwale, Giani Thakur Singh Jee, Sant Baba Thakur Singh Jee, Baba Baljeet Singh etc. They have done alot of seva for the panth i.e. Katha relating to Gurbani and even making Sikhs aware of current issues. Another good Singh in the UK is Bhai Sukha Singh as he explains in English!

What actually happened to the palace i.e. how did it become lost or was it just replaced?

I agree during Maharaja Ranjeet Singh time's both Granths were highly respected and seated on thrones next to each other

Singh, there's a Gurbani Destkop Program which allows you to read Guru Granth Sahib Jee, Dasam Granth Sahib Jee from the first page til the last I think it's in Gurmukhi though. Also try Sikhi to the max.

Sikhi to the max:http://sikhitothemax.com/updates.htm

I agree the bhavna (devotion) won't be the same plus they shouldn't alter the complex as this is heritage. Am interested for the petition :biggrin2:

There are quite a lot of photos on various sites such as Sikhnet, Sikhiart etc. Just have a browse :biggrin2:

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Kee Fateh

It has to be said with deep pain that a saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee Maharaj was half burnt at Gurdwara Baba Deep Singh in Mumbai on Sunday 26th Feb 2012 at 3am. This beadbi is too common now and we need solutions fast, satikaar is decreasing rapidly. Dal Khalsa and other jathebandi's are doing what they can to make us aware but all we do is talk and don't have any action which was said in the discussion on Sikh Channel yesterday. The satikaar of Banee needs to start at home singho!

Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Kee Fateh!

I would advise you to:

> Close your eyes

> Focus/Listen to yourself saying 'Vaheguru'

This helps me alot and you should try breathing techniques e.g. say Vah when Inhaling and Guru when Exhaling.

That's the hard bit but i reckon by talking to them will give you an idea of there views. The problem now is that even Sikhs with Dastaars on are supporting these organisations! Watch out for their views on the internet and trying to "alter" Sikh history by mixing beliefs of Hinduism in and confusing all the world.

It's hard yes it is but you must use that creative energy elsewhere! Rather than doing such things do more Simran, Seva, Positive Research on Sikhi and set high standards and do Ardass! I would request everyone to watch this video:

surely theres an error there init?

Sorry if there is that is totally off top my head Singh

Guru Nanak Dev Jee gave the Guruship to Guru Angad Dev Jee who was Bhai Lehna Jee at first and served Guru Ji well with honesty and love. Therefore Guru Nanak Dev Jee didn't give the guruship to his sons because they didn't serve him. Then Guru Amar Dass helped Guru Angad Dev Jee as he used to travel 30 km to Goindwal Sahib to get water for the morning bath for Guru Angad Dev Jee. Because of this seva, love and affection towards the Guru that is why Guru Amar Dass Jee got the guruship. Guru Amar Dass Jee gave the guruship to Guru Ram Dass Jee who was his brother in law but the guruship was given because of Guru Ram Dass Jee's love and affection towards Seva and serving the Guru once again. Then Guru Ram Dass Jee passed the guruship to Guru Arjan Dev Jee (youngest son) but Prithi Chand (oldest son) wanted the guruship even though he had arrogance. Then Guru Arjan Dev Jee gave the guruship to Guru Hargobind Jee which was his son. Then a interesting thing happened because Guru Hargobind Jee gave the guruship to Guru Har Rai (Grandson) even though he know Guru Tegh Bahadur Jee was going to do something big in this world meanwhile Guru Tegh Bahadur Jee did heavy meditation for 26 years, 9 months and 13 days. Guru Har Rai passed the guruship onto the youngest son Guru Harkrishan Jee because Ram Rai changed a letter of Gurbani when he was sent to see Aurangzeb (Mughal emperor). Guru Harkrishan Jee was only 8 years old when he left this world for heavenly abode as the result of smallpox. Guru Jee said that the next Guru will be in Baba Bakala which was of course to be Guru Tegh Bahadur Jee. Then a Sikh called Makhan Shah came into difficulty with his ship therefore did Ardass and said that he will donate 500 coins to the Guru that is present at that moment in time. Then Makhan Shah went to Baba Bakala where there was loads of people sat there pretending to be Gurus! of course they were fake most of them except Guru Tegh Bahadur Jee. So Makhan Shah decided to bow down to every person and put 2 coins there and after doing all that they didn't say anything. Then he asked another person if there was another person who directed him to Guru Tegh Bahadur who was sat in a little hut doing meditation. Then Makhan Shah did the same and Guru Tegh Bahadur Jee said "oh singh why are you giving only 2 coins when you promised 500?" and Guru Jee showed his shoulder full of bruises after helping the Sikh. Then after all this Guru Gobind Singh Jee (son of Guru Tegh Bahadur) became the 10th guru and the last in Human Form. Guru Gobind Singh Jee said there will be no more Gurus in Human Form > Guru Granth Sahib Jee will be our Guru til Eternity. The lesson we learn from this is that the Gurus didn't choose their sons they looked beyond that. They looked for Humbleness,Seva, Love, Affection for God and the Guru and respect for Gurbani. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa , Vaheguru Ji Kee Fateh!

I am posting this because I'm so disappointed at how our youth doesn't think twice before using bad language.

Some highly abusive words have become a necessary part of each and every sentence coming out of some people's mouths. It is so annoying specially when such filthy words are uttered by someone who looks like a gursikh. When confronted, some people say they don't litterally mean it. I mean, why even say something filthy when you don't mean it? just because you think it is cool? skipping out some filthy words from your regular vocab won't make you uncool!!!!! and... it breaks my heart when i see a sikh saying bad words to another sikh.

My humble request to my Gursikh brothers and sisters is to refrain from the use of foul language.

gurU kw isK gMd-vwkI nw hovY

guroo kaa sikh ga(n)dhaavaakee naa hovai

The Sikh of the Guru should never speak disgusting speech.

Rehatnama Bhai Chaupaa Singh Jee

Sorry if I offended anyone.

VJKK VJKF!

This is totally true but it's just been a month since i've started progressing towards Sikhi with Vahegurus Kirpa and the first thing is no swearing or gossiping at all! Bad language is not needed there should be pyaar within Sikhs and everyone else. So glad to see this topic

VJKK VJKF!
