  1. I'm running a macbook pro with 2 gigs of ram, 2.6 intel core 2 duo processor, and the program did not work for me. I was able to open up the application and see stuff, but was not able to get any search results. BTW, I'm almost certain that all Macs now sold have minimum of 1 gig, so you shouldn't have any problems with ram there. I'm certain that I have the Java SE 1.6, because I downloaded the update a couple of weeks ago for it. I wasn't able to get anything to really work, dictionary, hukamnama, banis, slideshow, and search gave me nothing. I was able to get the gurmukhi keyboard to work, but that seemed cluttered, and I was confused because it was all out of order, i.e., not in alphabetical order. Hope your programmer can sort out my problems.

  2. Fateh Ji,

    If I have this right, you believe it is manmat to do kirtan in any other way besides gurmat keertan?

    I find that hard to fathom. Reciting gurbani is reciting gurbani.

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

    Is it not manmat to do kachi bani to generate money on the stage because all the old bibiya go crazy when they hear "mehrawalea shahiya rakhi chana de kol"

    Is it not Manmant to sit on chairs and eat langar when its Gurus hukkam to sit on the floor.

    Bhai saab you answered your own question in your question anything that is not done in accordance to Gurmat is manmat, therefore kirtan not done in accordance to gurmat sangeet is manmat, because we are doing what according to us is right and not what our Satguru wants us to do.

    Rehraas is meant to be done at night, so in accordance to your statement that reciting gurbani is reciting gurbani, it can be done at any time of the day.

    Bhai saab, why cant you fathom that Satguru gave us a direct order, and we overlook it?

    Kirtaniya are depriving you the sangat from experiencing the meaning of baani by not doing gurmat sangeet, as there is no better way of expressing baani than gurmat sangeet. This is because music is a universal medium.

    Like i said before if we were all to do Gurmat Sangeet, this problem with kachi baani would not occur.

    Out of curiosity, I must know. You just said that Rehras is meant to be done at night, and that is true. But then why does Rehras contain shabads in raag Asa? Asa is a morning raag is it not? And I'm sorry, but I don't see how not performing gurmat sangeet is depriving the sangat of the bani's meaning. The meaning lies in the words that compose the shabad doesn't it?

  3. like mskcan said, man is neither but more commonly known as an omni-vore. My personal opinion is that I see too many negatives to meat than positives. From a purely scientific stand point, there is always going to be risk because Meat will carry disease. Mad-cow, undercooking, food poisoning and plenty of other diseases and bacteria are unnecessary risks, and are reason enough without other implications to not eat meat. In response to the article, does it really matter if vegetarians never become mr. universe or mr. world? These are trivial things, but I suppose that is more important to body builders than it is to me. That being said, I do know some exceptionally strong people that happen to be vegetarians.

  4. it sounds like you need someone to talk to. I know it's tough having alot of people come up to you that you don't know constantly reminding you of your loss, but you need to connect with people. You don't have to be alone in this. You've posted here, and you've gotten a therapist, which shows that you really want to stay. This is good, because you have hope and you have the will to live. Do not give up hope, I know things seem dark, but you can get through this. I've got faith in you, PM me some time.

  5. You shouldn't be looking at religion when making friends, you should be looking at the quality of character and similarity in ideals. I've got more than a couple of friends that aren't Sikh, and I find it hard to believe that in the West you can get by with just Sikh friends. Like Mehtab said, there's basket cases in every group. If you honestly believe that all Muslims are out to get Sikhs, then you are indeed discriminating against them, and no doubt other groups.

  6. having experienced ther country for 3 mnths now... i've come to the conclusion that English ppl can't distinguish between Americans and Canadians.. they just think we're the 51st state... disappointing but w/e v2.gif

    Can't really blame them when something like 75% of your population lives on the border between us tongue.gif

  7. Actually veerai its not USA its Canada tongue.gif

    You have a good day now you hear :)

    I am so confused grin.gif

  8. Khalsa04 ji, I'm not saying Maharaj Ji couldn't have gone to those places. I am saying that the information on that website is not proof. Rather, it's an attempt to gain some sort of acceptance from the West. Why do we need approval from the western world to firm up our beliefs?

    It reminds me of the 'house negro' syndrome.

    edit: Guru Sahib changed the lives of all they met. Look at the lives and teachings of some of the people mentioned on that site and you'll realise that they couldn't have met Maharaj Ji. Some of the claims just make us look like idiots.

    I've gotta say I disagree. I haven't seen anything on the website to suggest that it's looking for acceptance from the West. The site just has a bunch of pictures and lists them as places that Guru Ji allegedly visited. I'm not saying I don't believe it, on the contrary, I think it's entirely possible that Guru Ji visited these places. And while Guru Ji had a profound effect on people throughout his life, not everyone immediately joined up and forgot their ways. You seem to look down at the people listed on the site. Why? Martin Luther was a great Christian reformer that helped stop the corruption that was poisoning Christian Churches at the time.
