    Gatka is not meant to fight with each other it is meant to teach and improve how you fight.

    Being A Rich Sikh

    jpsingh2 replied to a topic in GUPT FORUM

    Buy lots of heras like ranjeet singh and give them out to kirtanee jathas There is a Sant Kartar SIngh Bhindranwale Je teaching that he tells that: The more wealth you get, more you should strive to be a better person; don't let pride come in you, with increased wealth. He (Vaheguru) who gives also takes it away; everything is in His hands.

    A quick read you can get through; and gets lots of the fundamentals, you can probably get through it in a sitting or two. https://ia601403.us.archive.org/35/items/sikhreligion035165mbp/sikhreligion035165mbp.pdf Of course the Shri Guru Granth Sahib is the prime scripture and guiding source of all Sikhs also lookup Japji Sahib, Asa De Vaar, and Sukhmani Sahib all of them have tons of translations.

    Sikh does not mean learner in that sense it specifically means Sikh of the Guru.. I think some bad writers influenced lots of the non-gurbani reading/understanding part of the panth.

    Depression, Help

    jpsingh2 replied to a topic in GUPT FORUM

    You gotta understand it. Theres plenty of translations online but you gotta make the effort. When it feels uncomfortable thats when you start learning things and you gotta get in the zone and just get it done. Spend at least a 1 hour at a time and dont leave until that hour is over to your studies. Your number 1 thing you should read is http://www.rajkaregakhalsa.net/downloads/Gurbani%20Related/Sri%20Guru%20Granth%20Sahib%20Ji%20Maharaj/JapJi_Sahib-_A_Translation_-_Prof_Teja_Singh.pdf and also http://www.nyu.edu/clubs/usa/docs/sggs.pdf coupled with this http://www.sikhvibes.com/downloads/PDFs/Raags.pdf read according to time of day and raag rather than linearly You must go to Gurdwara daily that would totaly change u up best time is early morning ask for their early morning schedule if not possible try atleast to get the evening divaan (enlightenment). After Japji sahib i reccomend doing the 5 bani's or asa di vaar or sukhmani sahib but by then you will already have found the path.

    I might be wrong and dont want to cause debate but I dont think that that Teja Singh (MA Harvard) is the same Teja Singh (Rara Sahib Wale)
  10. jpsingh2
    SinghStation you have studied Sukhmani Sahib right? There is an entire pauri on Bharam Gianni s qualities

    You should read more books mate its the strain that somethings getting tough that makes you learn things.. If you only read in English I recommend getting you mind together and hit up some Punjabi its much easier even if you dont knkow it but still both can speak the language of love and if your attuned with love then you sometimes cant tell which language someone just spoke but rather you connect to their soul and what they are saying.. Mad props and my heart goes out to anyone else who posts more Mahapurkhs here. Thank you for the OP for starting such a beautiful thread.

    There are numourous mentions of joining with God. I would say about 5% of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji talks explicitly about it so it should not be hard to find a quote. The jist is that the soul and God become one just as a water droplet and a large body of water merge together. Im not too sure about this silent witness thing you are talking about. Also God is seen as always present everywhere at all times. Naam = what is beyond value and when you think in these terms of being beyond values than you will join with God. The trick is to join with God at all times which is seen as the most pleasurable and most useful thing but whilist doing so you keep all other things secondary in your mind and still attend to them. Hope that helps.

    ikhongar we are all one. From what I know Kaur in Sanskrit/Tamil means first inline (eldest) son or daughter to receive royalty for the throne and Singh means all the remaining children of the royal king or queen. If someone can confirm this that would be great.

    I recommend partying it up. There are pleanty of pre wedding cultural cermonies you can engage in but in terms of the actual marriage not doing it the Sikh way in a gurdwara as others recommenced.. unless you both decide to take amrit or something. Also see if you are interested in learning more about the wedding and what its about http://sikhism.about.com/od/sikhweddinghymns/a/Lavan.htm

    The 33 Swaiyas are found in the Dasam Granth Sahib one after the other. Akali Phoola Singh when he was a kid memorized all these by heart along with Nitnem Banis, Akal Ustat and a few other Shri Mukhwakh Bani's. Jathedar Sahib Akali Phoola Singh would not eat until he memorized a certain portion as written by Prem Singh Hoti http://www.scribd.com/doc/241178280/33-Swaiyas-W-English-Translations-and-Annotations-Bhai-Jodh-Singh-1953 33Swaiyas_BhaiJodhSingh_1953.pdf

    just do a seperate ardas in a different room and then go to the pangat... I know what you mean and you should talk to the people who are always at the gurdwara and perhaps bring a quote from the SGGS about doing seva without wanting anything in return and tell them it is something the youth does not like

    how come you guys don't know? Punjabi Culture was glorious long before the Muslims came. Gorakh Nath and all those people.. very rich Indian history and if we go. a tad bit back we got buddhists. remember there were 2 great Buddhist invaders of Punjab, Tsang and Fa Hien. infact 30 or so letters The Gurmukhi script come from the Buddhist Siddham script. Not to mention Maharaja Ranjeet Singh, richest man of the world during his time, he and his associates were sometimes dressed head to toe in jewels something the foreigners never seen, nowadays celebrities make the news if the wear all diamond shoes but Runjit Singh was much ahead of his times, he also had the.strongest army of the world (only lost to british after death using dirty unwarlike tactics, eg Sher Singh assianation and faking wars). Educate yourselfs learn AND read Punjabi too the fullest
  21. jpsingh2
    Not really a childrens book.. for that I think your local Gurdwara would be the best source I can think of.. but what i was gonna say is the best book for learning Punjabi in my opinoin is Ved P Vatuk's Punjabi Reader Level 1 and Level 2. Must have will pretty much teach you almost everything very effective very enjoyable 100 stars out of 5.
  22. jpsingh2
    Sorry I got to say Punjabi first the language is tooooooo beautiful... but the best composition of Punjabi is SGGS so I am a slave to all the teaching of SGGS and thus am a Sikh.

    Sri Pran Sangli The Entire Pran Sangali Granth PDF, (Chain of the Vital Breath), an interpretation of Hatha Yoga I do not know if this book was actually written or not by Guru Nanak Maharaj, or whether it was written after his visit with Raja Shivnabh in Mathaleh, Sri Lanka, or by someone sinister faking it as Gurbani. It contains 20 different shabads. It is found the Bhai Banno Shri Aad Granth Sahib Beer / Khare Vali Bir which is sometimes considered as an un-authorized version of the Adi Granth. Also of interest may be Haqiqat Rah Muqam Raje Shivnabh Ki, which is also found in the Bhai Banno Sahib Beer. edit: changed link, old link did not work.

    What the trend in Sikh youth to go Puratan.. rather we should go modern and create our own new trends.. eg new forms of horses.. ridding in limousines and stuff. Creating community projects and environment (DEG teg fhatheh).. we have a beautiful ideology lets apply it to its fullest, todays times have much different opportunities the centuries earlier; lets get creative khalsa ji. Just a note I probably will enjoy reading these books more than anyone else, and am thankful for such traditions, but just wanted to put a idea out there.

    ^ you probably washed your dirty hands on clean plates.. or atleast the sevadar thought you did.
