I just found a new picture of Guru Gobind Singh ji, I have never seen this one:

The thing is many people get confused with growing hair, and not cutting. A Sikh is not to cut the hair, thats it. Lets not argue about the kes / keski thing again, and again, and again. Not cutting hair is important and dastaar/keski is important end of discussion.

I think all of you guys are great, I really like how you guys want to help this person, you guys do great seva. As siad by other, the best way to control your lust, is to focus your mind on God. This forum is great. :TH:

Very true, well what do u expect living with a billion Hindus lol (no offense to Hindus) Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

wow, it seems impossible to read Fateh

"Tribute to Mardana" http://www.i-bands.net/audiovault/bands/1053/music.php

Yea, but i didn't watch all of it though. At first I tought the video was a tribute to her, but it also informs people of all ther horrible things she did, and how she was a dictator. It was well presented.

I am glad to see that Gurdwaras everywhere are getting projectors so the youth can read the translations.

Then there is another argument, isnt the language of the people English today, wouldn't Guru Nanak Dev Ji write his bani in english if he came here today? Well that is a topic all by it self, but I think that translations can alter the meaning so to understand the true meaning Gurmukhi is the way, unless... we have Sikh scholars and saints from all over the globe to come together and translate the Guru Granth Sahib. well thats a different story. Fateh!!! Dhan Dhan Guru Grantn Sahib

Gurmukhi is not Sunskrit, at that time Gurmukhi was the language of the people everyone could understand it. See the Hindu scriputres are in an ancient language and wans't taught to anybody except the Bhramins, so the Bhramins had the power, but Guru Nanak chose the language of the people, Gurmukhi. Today everyone is given an open opportunity to learn the beautiful Gurmukhi, so we can understand the true meaning of what our Guru left us. VJKK VJKF

Ok are you asking when this : was translated into : Ikonkar: and then into : There Is Only One God ? I am sorry I thought that you were saying that this: is not original, because that is original.

"It is recognised as the only authentic scripture in the world that is written and compiled by any prophet. It continues to retain its originality and will remain as such for eternity." http://www.supportersunited.com/gurbaniparchar/overview.asp

The Gurus did not write in sanskrit alone, nor punjabi alone, they wrote in a combination of the two which =Gurmukhi Yes there are translations of Gurbani into many different languages, but the Guru Granth Sahib which is exactly the same in every single Gurudwara in the world is written in Gurmukhi. You want proof? Ok, I will give you proof. The SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB is my proof, the first original Guru Granth Sahib which is in Harminder Sahib even today and was installed by GURU GOBIND SINGH JI himself! Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib :'(

Lol Japman u r hilarious, i actually thought you were serious in the begenning and was about to get the measuring tape, until I read the part about the calories lol.

Japman

Nice reply Sinister I guess you are not as evil as I thought you were :nihungsmile: just kidding :umm: , but not really :lol:

The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj has not been touched, not one word not one letter has been altered or tranlsated, the Guru himself wrote in his own style, which was not completly Sanskrit nor Punjabi, and it was called Gurmukhi. The first copy of the Guru Granth Sahib installed by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, is in the Harminder Sahib(Golden Temple), and it is also in Gurmukhi. I know that many of the worlds scriptures have been translated repeatly over the centuries, but the Guru Granth Sahib has been kept in the original forum and is to be kept in original forum in the future. That is why learning Gurmukhi is important, so we can understand the true meaning. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

my friends are always asking me that too, people are so facinated with long hair

I understand where you are coming from, i use to think today is not my birthday, my bithday was 18 years ago lol. But there is nothing wrong with celebrating somenones "Birthday", one day out the year we give a tribute to the person to show how much we love them. Just like Gurpurb, we take one day out of the year to reflect on our Gurus. VJKK VJKF

I dont see anything wrong with two Sikh friends who want to marry in the future. Fatah!

VJKK VJKF Firstly I got to say this forum is gggrrrrrrr8 :TH: I live in CA, and so many people dont know much about Sikhs, people are always coming up to me and asking me questions. "Why do you wear that thing on your head?" "Because I'm a Sikh, and Sikhs do not cut their hair at all, they also dont get piercings or tatoos, we believe that the body is beautiful as is. They believe that the body is the temple of God. This thing I am wearing on my head is a Sikh turban, it pretty much has 2 purposes, the practical one is to take care of a Sikh unshorn hair, and also for Identity purposes. It is like a crown for the Sikhs, just a a King wears a Gold structure on his head, Sikhs wear one of these :e: :nihungsmile: ." "Oh thats cool" "So why dont you cut your nails then?" "Well because nails are completly different from hair, nails never stop growing, hair grows to a certain length and stops. Also if I didn't cut my nails they would break off anyway" "OMG Why are you wearing a sword/dagger, or Why are you wearing that thing?" "This is not a sword/dagger, this is a KIRPAN, it is a ceremonial religious item. Kirpan comes from the word 'KIRPA' and 'AAN'. Kirpa means an act of kindness, a favour; and 'aan' means honour, respect, self-respect. If it was a dagger/sword I could just go up to anybody an kill him for no reason, but I am a Sikh and this is my Kirpan, I can only use it to defend the others and my self." "Oh thats interesting, but why dont you just carry around a gun if you want to protect other?" "Well because Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Sikh prophet, did not give us a gun he give us a Kirpan. Its not all about the most advanced seld-defensive instrument, like I said it has ceremonial value. Ok, you know how a King gives Knightship to a Knight? He touches the "ceremonial sword" against the knights shoulders. Here Guru Gobind Singh give us the Kirpan and Knighted us to the Khalsa or the Sikh religion." Hope I helped and didn't bore you, so what are some questions people asked you but your religion, and how did you reply? Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh
