This is really the most simple explanation. Good stuff

Sadly no one has come up with any ideas yet! Are the youth really such a lost cause?

This.

Vaheguru! I'm afraid I'm no where near your level of understanding of Gurbanee and the world Veerji, you're going to have to break it up for this moorakh sister of yours and explain somewhat simply! I can't get my head around such deep thoughts, only a beginner! Forgive me for my lack of understanding.

Now I'm even more confused

Veerji/Bhenji, Forgive me for my ignorance, but if everything is Hukam, then where does free will come into play? Why are we held accountable for actions when it was prewritten that we'd commit them? I'm very confused, please shed some light on this! Thank you

Not sure how many people have already heard this, but this was a wake up call for me, so thought I'd share it with you all

english is preferred but punjabi is ok too... is there katha of guru granth sahib jee in english anyone is aware of?? thanks for all ur replies..

I feel your pain Veerjee...it's the same state everywhere. I'm the only one in my group of friends who has even a remote interest in Sikhi....sad state of affairs...

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Could you guys please share some links to really good Katha that would be beneficial to me? Something which will give me a deeper knowledge of Gurbanee, but is simple to understand. I'm having a lot of trouble finding things. I want to start reading Sikhi books to expand my knowledge but I just don't know where to even start, I really just need a starting point. As I'm new to this I was hoping the sangat could give me some recommendations Thankyou all in advance, I hope you can help this moorakh sister of yours get her life on the right path again. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I have heard of Sant Maskeen Singh Ji, but havn't yet heard any of his katha. Definitely will now, thanks for the heads up!

My intention wasn't to present an argument to your specific question lol, I was just saying that nothing is what it seems to be. Just because things exist it doesn't mean they should be used, and just because certain things don't make sense to you it doesn't mean they're wrong. Waheguru is the only one that knows the ins, outs and secrets of this universe. Who am I to explain the meanings behind the Guru's hukams? I know nothing, I merely say 'satbachan'.

I would just say don't say anything that doesn't need to be said. If Guru Ji was standing next to you, and he heard what you were saying...would he approve? I kind of take it to mean don't gossip or slander anyone purely for kicks/enjoyment/to taint their image/reputation. But, if you're genuinely concerned or worried about a family member's or friend's interactions with someone...I would say that's ok?

Amazing tips! Thanks Penji, will be sure to try these out asap! Maharaj kirpa karan.

Waheguru! I agree with you 100% Penji, the power of ardas cannot be underestimated (or estimated at all!). I've had many incidents in my life which, in my belief, have been sorted out simply due to the power of Ardas. Guru Ji knows what's good for us and never turns his back on anyone....even on paapi like me! I really hope this experience helps your cousin and your family strengthen their faith in Maharaj x

Ah the nitty-gritties lol. Meh, I'd rather go to a rehnsbhayee than dance bhangra anyway :cool2:

Excellent, I couldn't agree more. But, it goes both ways. As a woman, I wouldn't want to be stuck with a lazy Singh either! TO the penji before, I think it's completely fine, and you are very very lucky! But you know what? He is also very lucky! Too many people these days look Gursikh on the outside but like the above Veerji said, are empty on the inside. Atleast you WANT to progress in your Sikhi! I have too many friends who are stuck with partners that are just like everyone else, polluted with Maya, no will to better themselves...only difference is they have a dastaar on their heads! Then there's also too many people who just do their nitnem every day and attend Gurdwara once a week, no desire to take any step further...stuck in a rut....that is also a problem. Sikhi is all about learning, and the best learners are those who have a will, an inner desire, to learn more To the OP: I think the best thing a Gursikh partner can do is just simply support and encourage the other to progress spiritually, help each other on the road to attaining that all-powerful chardikala mindset, and just be better Sikhs in general.

According to Navkiran Singh's updates on Facebook (the Human Rights Lawyer), Bhai Sahib Ji is in chardi kala and still at Patiala Jail! He says he spoke to the jail superintendent who confirmed that Bhai Sahib Ji was there. Don't know how trustworthy the superintendent is though, hopefully someone can get in touch with Kamaldeep Penji x

As far as I know and am concerned, Balwant Singh Rajoana has not said anything AGAINST anyone, he is simply asking for answers. In regards to Professor Bhullar, he said that the Khalsa should not beg for mercy, has also said that he will pray for Devinderpal Singh Bhullar's chardeekala but his fight is different. Here's a link to what he says about Prof Bhullar: Also, in regards to Hawara and what not, the only complaint Bhai Sahib has against them is that they are denying that there was ever a bomb tied to Bhai Dilawar Singh, and Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana thinks this undermines Bhai Dilawar Singh's shaheedi. They have different viewpoints. Neither is wrong. There's no reason to attack Bhai Balwant Singh (or Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara).
