WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Thanks for posting

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH "Its a combination of both. Some days I don't get up on time other days I get lazy and then miss it all" If you feel guilty then when you start to get lazy think to yourself and question yourself if your not going to get up now and pray properly now, then when? If you dont get up n pray early, think- if you cant do it now then how you going to do it in the future? N try to think of a Shabad thats inspires you and sing it when you start to feel lazy or tired. The main thing to remember is that you HAVE TO BE WILLING to wake up and not thinking you would LIKE to wake up (remember the difference). N try to remember if you wake up at the right time ect that its going to benefit you and dont try to think about you being tired ect. May be this shabad will help when your sleepy or tired " kha(n)ddith nidhraa alap ahaara(n) naanak thath beechaaro ||8||" Sleep little, and eat little; O Nanak, this is the essence of wisdom. ||8|| Phul Chuk maaf if i said ne thing wrong. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH. Thanks to all who posted it was very helpful.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH. I dont get what the person above is trying to say. N what does s/he mean about parkarma during lava?

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH. If someone says they converted to Islam or Christianity on posts ect you cant 100% gurantee there telling the truth... because they could be IE a Christian n pretending that they use to be a Sikh then converted to Christianity. As they might just want to confuse Sikhs so they convert to that religion. WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Copied n pasted this from sikh sites regarding Raksha Bandhan: Regarding Raksha Bandhan : We believe that our protector is Akal Purakh and no mortal can protect us. For us rather than tying a ?dori? on a mortal seeking protection we have handed our ?dori? in the hands of Akal Purakh when we recite ? Prabh dori haath tumhaare. - Like one Sikh already said in a post before, Sikhs celebrate rakhsha bandhan ever day because they protect the weak 24 hours. 1) Raksha bandhan means the "string of protection." Do your friends know the story of Guru Nanak and the jeneau? Didn't Guru Nanak dispel the custom of tying this sacred hindu brahmin thread? Didn't he say that I should wear the string that doesn't break - the string of compassion, of love and of faith? Rakhri, or raakhee, is the same temporary string which is a ritual and means nothing. 2) Why do women tie it on men? In Sikhi, men and women are COMPLETE equals. Mata Bhag Kaur was stronger of spirit than the 40 Muktay... SHE LED THEM TO BATTLE. Why then, is a women thought to be weaker? This is incorrect mentality. Women and men are equal, and therefore nobody needs to tie special strings and anybody else for protection. 3) By tying a string on somebody, and getting money, and giving sweets, does that really prove your love, compassion and the strength of your relationship with a person? Absolutely not. This is all a material game, and Sikhs don't play that way. 4) Why do only sisters tie it on brothers? Is it not the duty of a mother to protect her son? Is it not the duty of an elder sister to protect her younger brother? Is it not the duty of a father to protect his daughter? Relationships do not mean much if they are built on KACHE DHAAGE (weak strings). A Sikh will protect anybody - anybody that needs help... even if it is a stranger on the street. In fact, there is no stranger for a Sikh. The philosohpy for Sikhs is - NO ENEMIES, NO STRANGERS. Therefore, Sikhs protect everybody, and there is no need for rakhree. 5) The ultimate proof that Rakhsa Bandhan is not necessary and Sikhs should not believe in it: Rakhe Rakhanaar Aap Ubaarian, Gur kee pairee paa-ay, kaaj savaarian. (Sri Guru Granth Sahib) bhul chuk maaf karnaa Waahiguroo jee kaa khaalsaa !!! Waahiguroo jee kee fathe !!! -

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. Thank you very much brother. But is SachKand the same as God merging with us?

WAHEGURUJI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KII FATEH! TRUELY AMAZING QUOTES FROM GURBANI.

Can anyone explain what exactly is SachKand and how it works because all i know is its Heaven but how do we get there because i thought we believed in Mukti n salvation (Merge in God).

Waheguru JI Ka Khalsa Waheguru JI Ki Fateh Good work n congrats on showing them the way.

True... Good point sister n congrats on getting baptised (Guru Ji's Student). But the thing is only if our family realised that its a hindu festival! But neway i was just wonderig did ne 1 wlse here about it?

Last year i heard that loads ppl died in India when they wore the Rakhriya... I think it was like something like powder or anthrax in it n when you smell it/inhale it (as it on your hand for cuple of days).. so they died. did ne1 else here that too..? SO BEWARE OF THE RAKHRIYA THIS YEAR... MOD NOTE: Edited "Lakhriya" to "Rakhriya" to ease confusion.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji KI Fateh. I would just like to say one thing the Gurbani is clear on everything it says. N the rehat Maryadas were made after the times of the Gurus (i think) n i think the 'normal rehit maryada' the one which we follow today was made in 1945. N the fact that the rehat maryada was made after the times of the Gurus also means that the scholors could of made a mistake in understanding the Gurbani. Im saying this because of the fact that the rehit maryada says were allowed to eat meat, when were not. READ BELOW OR CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE THE FULL VERSION OF THIS ARTICLE WHICH EXPLAINS THAT WERE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT MEAT. http://www.akj.org.uk/literature/article.a...gurmat&f=srm04a Heres some main point i copied n pasted from the article: . Kapur Singh rightly points out "Sikhism is not a religion of confusion and tomfoolery.'115 The Sikh Way of Life is based upon the highest principle of Divinity -with the ultimate goal of merging one's soul (Atma) with the Ultimate Soul (Param-Atma). In Gurbani the word "Kuthha" as well as "Kohna" have been used at a number of places in this sense: Paap Karendar Sarpar Muthey. Ajraeel Pharrey Phar KUTHHEY. (pg. 1019) The sinner will certainly be ruined or destroyed. The angel of death will seize and kill them. (Here the word "kuthhey" means simply killing, not killing by Halaal) Bed Parhey Mukh Mitthee Baani Jeeaan KUHAT Na Sangey Paraanee. (pg. 201) He (Pandit) recites the Vedas very sweetly, but he does not hesitate to kill life. Abhakhya Ka KUIHHA Bakra Khanaa Choukay Upar Kisey Na Jaanaa. (pg. 472) They eat the meat obtained while uttering the unspeakable word (referring to Qalima of the Muslims which the Hindus considered as unspeakable) and allow none to enter their kitchen square. The supporters of the word Kuthha to mean Halaal meat very often bank upon the above cited couplet to support their contention. They ascribe it to mean the meat obtained by slaying goats while uttering Qalima, which is the Muslim way of slaughtering animals. If the word Kutliha were to mean Halaal meat, the use of the word abhakhya is superfluous. The sentence should have been simply Kuthha Khaanaa to mean the eating of the Halaal meat. The very fact that the word Kuthha has been qualified with the adjective abhakhya kaa means that Kuthha refers to simple meat of the killed animal, irrespective of the method of slaying the animal; and while qualifying meat to mean Halaal, the words abhakhya kaa had to be particularly prefixed to convey that sense. Almost all the renowned commentators and translators of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, e.g., Bhai Sahib Vir Singh, Professor Sahib Singh, S. Manmohan Singh, etc., have interpreted this couplet in this way. It is thus clear that the word Kuthha means simply meat of the killed animal and does not go into the detail of how the animal is killed. Like so many other adulterations committed by the anti-Sikhs in Gurmat Rahit Maryada, this interpretation of the word Kuthha to mean Halaal meat has also been initiated and popularized by those very anti­Sikhs, in their efforts to destroy the roots of the new faith in order to decrease its efficacy and create doubts and dissensions in the Panth. Our brothers have unconsciously fallen in their trap. The only hymn in the whole of Sri Guru Granth Sahib that is specifically cited in support of eating meat is the hymn of Sahib Sri Guru Nanak Dcv Ji in the // of Raag Malhar on pages 1289-90 beginning with the couplet: Maas Maas Kar Moorakh Jhaghrrey. Gian dhian Nahin Jaaney. Kaun Maas Kaun Saag Kahaavey Kis Mah Paap Samaaney. (pg. 1289-1290) Only the fool quarrels over the question of eating or not eating of the meat. He does not have the True Wisdom. Without True Wisdom or Meditation, he harps on which is flesh and which is not flesh and which food is sinful and which is not. A deeper study of the whole hymn brings out: Herein, Guru Sahib is addressing a Vaishnav Pandit who believes that he can achieve his spiritual goal only by avoiding meat as food and not trying to obtain the true wisdom through meditation. He has stressed that only avoiding meat will not lead one to the achievement of Spiritual Bliss if one does not do Naam-Simran. This equally applies to all, including non-meat-eating Sikhs. It relates to the flesh or meat in general and not to any particular type of flesh - whether prepared by Halaal or Jhatka method. The Sikh supporters of flesh eating do not accept at all the intake of all types of meat, but according to them, only Jhatka meat is permissible and Halaal is totally prohibited. In other words, what does the term "Kuthha" denote? The flesh of the mother's womb wherein the human body is born, the flesh of the mother's breasts which feed the infant, the flesh of the tongue, ears, mouth, etc., used for perception of various senses of the body, the flesh in the form of wife and off-springs referred to in the Shabad, is flesh no doubt and one cannot escape it, but is it the flesh to be eaten as food by the humans? Does the love for this type of flesh involve any cruelty or slaughter of living bodies? Obviously, the Shabad has a deeper meaning telling Vaishnav pandits that merely escaping from the flesh does not take one anywhere. Nor can anyone get rid of the flesh (i.e., attainment of salvation from the cycle of birth and death) by his own futile efforts without the Grace of the True Guru. One very well known Sikh writer, in his book on Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's life16, while claiming that the above hymn supports meat eating, recommends that those Sikhs who seek spiritual bliss through Naam Simran should shun it! Well, devoid of Naam Slmran Sikhism is reduced to naught. At this point it would be worth mentioning two well known anecdotes from the life of Sahib Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in this respect: During his visit to Lahore, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji happened to stay in the neighborhood of a big slaughter house. In the ambrosial hours of the early morning, he heard loud shrills and cries of the animals being butchered there. Then, in the daytime, he saw the population addicted to vices connected with meat, wine and women. He was so moved by this sight that he exclaimed: Lahore shahar zahar kahar sawa pahar. (pg. 1412) God's curse is upon the city of Lahore for a quarter of the day. Duni Chand was holding a grand annual feast to feed the Brahmins in celebration of Saraadh ceremony for the peace of his departed father's soul. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji told him that his father had taken the body of a wolf and was starving on the nearby river bank at that time. Duni Chand immediately went there and saw the starving wolf. On seeing his son, the wolf died and thus spoke to him from his Astral or luminous body: "In human body when I was nearing death, I smelt the flavor of meat being cooked in the neighboring house and felt an ardent desire for it. I died in the same state of mind. That is why I was given the body of a wolf so that I could fulfill my last desire in human life."17 Gurbani also says: Jit Laago Man Baasna, Ant Saaee PragtaanL (pg. 267) The desire to which the mind is attached, becomes manifest in the end. This brings out clearly the thinking of Sahib Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in this respect. Sri Guru Granth Sahib prohibits eating of animal flesh in clearcut and unambiguous language in a number of places: Jee Badhoh So Dharam Kar ThaapohAdharam Kaho Kat Bhai. Aapas Ko Munwar Kar Thaapoh, Kaa Ko Kaho Kasaaee. (pg. 1103) You kill animals and call it religion (Rahit); then what indeed is irreligion (Kurahit)? Even then you consider yourself as a sage of sages; then whom to call a butcher? Bed Kateb Kaho Mat Jhoothhay, Jhoothhaa Jo Na Bichaarey. Jo Sabh Meh Ek Khudal Kahat Ho,To Kio Murghi Maarey. (pg. 1350) Do not call various religious texts false. False is one who gives no thought to their contents. If you consider God is in all, then why you slaughter the chicken (i.e., life?)

WaheGuru Ji Ka Khalsa WaheGuru Ji Ki Fateh. Sikhi promotes equality therefore niether men or women should remove facial hair.-Thats not ritualistic that been natural letting something grow to its natural lenghth as WaheGuru made us and its also shows thats God sees us equally. And to one of the sisters who said that kaurs can remove hair-because thats why they were named Kaur, princesses- Sister thats totally wrong: because this shabad proves that beuaty isnt important in sikhi (ie to remove hair to be or look like a princess): maal kai maanai roop kee sobhaa eith bidhhee janam gavaaeiaa ||1|| rehaao || You are wasting this life in the pride of wealth and the splendor of beauty. ||1||Pause|| (Guru Nanak Dev Ji Siree Raag 24) joban roop maaeiaa madh maathaa bicharath bikal badda abhimaanee|| I am intoxicated with the wine of youth, beauty and the riches of Maya. I wander around perplexed, in excessive egotistical pride (Guru Arjan Dev Ji Svaiyay Mehl 5 1387) For more about this click on the rehit nama on dont get engrossed in beauty: http://www.sikhitothemax.com/results.aspTi...0399,58892,3050 By not removing hair you show how much you are devoted to God because you are sacrifising your beauty in a way. My opinion is that sisters who do remove hair i can understand why.. western society, but never the less dont get depressed about it just pray to WaheGuru to show you a solution n ne way WaheGuru WILL love you no matter what you do ne way weather you remove your hair or not- thats another reason why WaheGuru is so great.

WaheGuru Ji Ka Khalsa WaheGuru Ji Ki Fateh. If a muslim wears a kara... it shouldnt confuse sikh girls anyway because they should understand anyone can wear a kara. Just like anyone can waer a turbin (ie afghanies ect). N im not to sure but i think in the gurbani it says somewhere that anyone can wear one of the kakars: and to call yourself a Gursikh you should wear all 5 kakaars not only one. WaheGuru Ji Ka Khalsa WaheGuru Ji Ki Fateh.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH THANKS FOR SHARING THE SHABAD.

WaheGuru Ji Ka Khalsa WaheGuru ji Ki Fateh. Talking about other babaji's never worn kirpan... it sounds as if your doubting sikhi. The answer to why the other baba ji's never worn the kirpan is because of God's will. You already probably know that all the sikh ten prophets revealed and and lived the shabad and all the ten prophets had the same holy spirit (i think its called the divine joyt). They only had seperate appearances but the holy spirit was passed on from Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh ji and that the kirpan and the other kakkar's were only destined to be known to us when the God willed by the 10th and last prophet-Guru Gobind Singh ji. Anyway no true sikh will question any of the kakkars because they will of realised that if they believe in Guru Nanak and never questioned what Guru Nanak said and lived becuase they believe that what he said was what God had told him to reveal. (Just like the Prophet of Islam had appearnces and visions of the Angel Gabriel which he was told to reveal which was the word of God). Just like that the rest of the sikh prophets revealed what they were told by God-Which is also ephasised in Gurbani by Guru Gobind Singh Ji too. I would just like to say just have faith in the Guru. The Gurbani is the word of God which was revealed to us through the 10 Gurus-Thats why the rehit maryada tells us to think as WaheGuru and the Guru as one. As the 10 prophets weren't God themselfs (as God is ajonnee-beyond birth and death) and because God doesnt have no physical shape or form. But what the prophets revealed was the word of God (through the holy spirit which Guru Nanak had probably since his experienece with God-when he went missiing for 3 days which he passed doen from Guru to Guru) and theres no difference between the word of God and God himself. bhul chuk maaf for any mistakes as im not a scholor or anything in sikhi.
