  2. Veer Jee thank you for your reply. I believe your notion to be incorrect in the context that you believe that animal farming to be correct. Animal farming is nothing to do with mother natures food chain. It is an unnatural man-made method to produce a monetary return. Therefore the whole conceptual idea and the actual killing of animals is only based on a vice, possessed by us weak humans, Guru Granth Sahib Jee describes as Greed. To satisfy the the greed of man, us humans have resorted to the killing of animals in a mass-scale. If we believe ever-prevalient God to exist even in animals, through the unique entity of the soul, then man would never kill animal. This is proven by the Gurbani Tukh below: [i]bhugath giaan dhaeiaa bha(n)ddaaran ghatt ghatt vaajehi naadh || Let spiritual wisdom be your food, and compassion your attendant. The Sound-current of the Naad vibrates in each and every heart.[/i] Above it is proven that Guru Sahib is instructing us have compassion in our hearts. How can we posses this Godly-merit if we are killing the animals created by Waheguru Himself. Killing of animals neglects this merit, and rather posses the demerit of selfishness, greediness, ruthless, and clearly negligence of God Himself - Ego. I'm not sure about the logic behind what you've just said, however if you want to look at this argument in the perspective of Science, then I would also like to prove my points through "clear words." Science has proven that plants, vegetables, and other food in vegetarian diet have no nervous system. If you know what a nervous system is then you would also know that humans and animals do have a nervous system. Below I have extracted how humans and animals incur pain through the nervous system: [quote]Put simply, sensory nerves send impulses about what is happening in our environment to the brain via the spinal cord. The brain sends information back to the motor nerves, which help us perform actions. [/quote] Plants and vegetables don't have the above system implemented into them. Therefore suggesting that when they are taken out of their roots or cut, no pain is felt by them. Therefore compassion can't be felt on something which doesn't feel pain. However killing animals in anyway, whether it be through the ritual of Chatka (which its significance in the Sikh religion has yet to be proven) or mass industry led animal killing clearly shows no compassion towards the animal that is subject to the killing. The reason for this is that humans and animals can incur pain. And anything in life which we are aware of that is feeling pain, we do feel compassion. We cannot call ourselves 'learners' of the Guru, if we fail to neglect the simple teaching of having compassion for animals, humans and other entities made by God. I would like to end my post by leaving the Sangat a notion to think about. Humans have been given this blessed life, and in this human life we have been given the merit of understanding and discerning between right and wrong. Animals on the other hand are less fortunate that they are not able to understand this concept. Our Guru has given us the ultimate knowledge to understand, which is to recognise and acknowledge the unique entity of God's power manifested in all living things in this universe. By inflicting pain on to Gods creatures which can feel this pain, are we truly recognising and acknowledging God in them? Are we receiving Gods happiness and blessings by inflicting pain on animals? Another thought I would like to leave is that if we believe in the notion of Karma, in the context that we are rewarded or punished according to the actions we commit. What will be result of inflicting pain on the creatures of God? Thank you for your time.
  3. We can see this aurgument from two perspectives: 1. The Bujjer Kurehit is eating the animal itself. But feeding the animal to a dog isn't a Bujjer Kurehit, because you're not consuming it yourself. As stated in an earlier post, it is made clear through Bhai Gurdaas Jee varan that Guru Hargobind Sahib kept dogs. These dogs hunted and therefore eat meat. Guru Gobind Singh had a Baaj, and this Baaj was also utilised to assist Guru Sahib in hunting. This Baaj evidently eat meat. Whether these animals kept by Guru Sahib eat the meat according to their own will, or by the hukam of Guru Sahib is a question in itself which I don't think personally we have the answer to, however the only thing we can say is that these animals must've ate meat, and our Guru Sahibs and Gursikhs certainly were aware of this. 2. The difference between now and then is that we don't keep our dogs for hunting. They are not in their natural habitat where we can say that meat is a part of their food chain. Therefore if dogs are capable of staying away from their natural habitats then they are more then capable of changing their diet to a meat-free diet, obviously with the support of their masters. Another point to consider is that the way animals are being slaughtered on a mass scale in this fire of Kaljug is horrendous. By buying this meat for our dogs, we are only supporting the killing of animals on a mass scale, which overall is going to have some effect to our Karma. It may be natural for the dog to eat the meat, however the dog has to naturally hunt the meat in order to eat it. In conclusion... My personal view is that I think there is no problem with keeping a dog and the dog should be entitled to it's natural resource. However there may be a price to pay, in the context of karma, by buying meat products from a money covetous animal murdering industry. I would like to hear others views on my points. Thank you for reading.
  4. Gurfateh Jee Yes, with Guru Sahib's Kirpa she was blessed with Naam. Only Guroo knows what divine sights she was seeing or feeling. One word to describe her is 'Bholee' she was so bholee infact that I think even if she was being blessed with Waheguroos Darshan at the time of Amrit, she might of just been thinking that everyone is experiencing the same thing! The last I saw the smile on her face was after Amrit in the Langar hall, I looked at her and she just smiled. Thank you everyone for your thoughts a feelings. May Guroo bless you all with Naam Di Daat. Gurfateh Jee

  6. Before the sublime mystery of existence, space and time, according to the will of God our beloved Jasmeet Kaur at the tender age of 14 years has departed from this world.

Guru Rakha! Amrik Singh
  7. Please could the mods remove the link and the singhs addresses as we all know there are a lot of non-sikh people who read this site and may try to use this to their advantage. it would be the greatest shame if something was to happen to the families of these singhs because there addresses were put up on a sikh forum!!!!!
  8. Fateh Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh in Gurmat Prakash writes that all Bhagats met Guru Nanak (whether that be Nirgun or Sargun, what we have to remember is Guru Nanak is Nanak Jyot which as Aad Sach - truth from the beggining). Before they met Nanak Jyot they had ego in their hearts, but as soon as they met Nanak Jyot and became Ik Mikk with the jyot their ego was totally removed. All Bhagats recieved Naam DriR from Guru Nanak as Bhagat Kabeer Jee states: kabeer saachaa sathigur mai miliaa sabadh j baahiaa eaek | Kabeer, the True Guru has met me; He aimed the Arrow of the Shabad at me. laagath hee bhue mil gaeiaa pariaa kalaejae shaek |157| As soon as it struck me, I fell to the ground with a hole in my heart. ||157|| The question arises, who is true Guru? Who else can be true Guru then Nanak Jyot. Nanak Joyt met Bhagat Jee and gave Bhagat Jee the blessing of Naam implantation. Even the Bhatts who met Guru Nanak recieved Naam implantation by Guru Nanak placing his hand on their head: sathiguroo dhann naanak masathak thum dhariou jin hatho | Blessed is the True Guru Nanak, who placed His hand upon Your forehead. A very important thing to remember is this: baabaa paidhaa sach khandd no nidh naam gareebee paaee| Baba reached the region of Truth wherefrom he received Naam, the storehouse of nine treasures and humility. When Guru Nanak went to Sach Khand he was iniated by Waheguroo himself. Waheguru himself blessed Guru Nanak with Waheguru Mantar. This Mantar is refered to as SatNaam - The true Name: kalijug baabae thaariaa sathinaam parr manthr sunaaeiaa| Baba Nanak rescued this dark age (Kalyug) and recited ‘Satnam’ mantra for one and all. SatNaam is the true Name Guru Nanak recieved from Sach Khand (makes sence SAT naam, SACH khand lol), in order to reach Sach Khand this true name needs to be blessed to the seekers of SACH. Sach Khand can only be reached by Gursikhs who have recieved Waheguru Mantar when they are initiated when taking Amrit. All the Bhagats had to recieve this Naam from Guru Nanak in order to reach Sach Khand. Only by meeting Guru Nanak was their ego subdued. Hope I made sence. Bolan Joga
  9. Aston is a redbrick uni not metropolitan. Main concern for employers these days is experience not University.
  10. Gurfateh Heres a few things that can help: - A quick way to solve this issue is by smiling. I'm no psychologist/bioligist but I do know that when you smile edorphins (sorry if i spelt it wrong) get realised into your body. This hormone (or what ever you want to call it) stimulate the reward pathways which in return make you feel good about yourself. So SMILE SMILE SMILE!! Remember smiling is such an exellent way to bond with people. EVEN BABIES REALISE THIS AT SUCH A TENDER AGE!! Gursikhs who continually Jap Naam have a constant smile on their faces. A smile causes positive energy around us and makes people around us positive. So a quick fix is just smile. Even if your nervous just smile. If you don't know how to smile then take a look at the following picture, its sure to make you smile: http://www.sikhlionz.com/bhai%20jeevan%20singh%202.jpg - Another thing you may be deprived from is a good sleeping routine and exercise. Good sleep and exercise also release endorphine hormones around the body. Adrenaline rush is felt sometimes when one is suffering from social phobia so a good regular work out reduces the adrenaline debt. - There may be certian things that trigger the social anxiety. These needs to be indentified, here is a list of the following things that could possibly make you anxious; eye contact, not knowing what to say in a conversation, embarresment for saying the wrongs things or being humiliated, knowing the other person is nervous therefore making you nervous. You need to make a list of all the stuff that makes you anxious. Here are a few techniques to help you when exposed to social situations. Eye Contact - Some people find it difficult to maintain eye contact. Remember you don't have to look directly into the persons eyes. Its helpful if you don't keep shifting from eye to eye, now that would deffnitely make you look nervous. Find one eye your comfortable looking at, a good option would be the left eye. Apparntly its something to do with which brain controls emotions and you have some level degree of control over emotions of fear just by looking at the left eye. Remember u dont just have to look at the eye, its ok to look around the eye area such as the bridge of the nose or eyebrows. Infact whilst talking to someone when you look at their eyebrows it is a sign of consideration and shows you are listening. Remember to keep nodding your head to show you are enganged in the conversation, even if you don't speak least the other person will know you were listening. Nodding the head is a sign that you are acitvely listening to what they say. Even if you didn't say a word, you will leave the conversation feeling positive whilst the other person leaves by feeling they had the most say :S lol. Knowing what to say in a conversation - Some people get nervous just because they don't know how to respond to peoples questions or whatever. A good starting point is to indentify things YOU are good at. What has Waheguru given you which is so special. You might wake up Amritvela, do your nitnem, or are into sports or certian television program. You may find others are interested in similar topics and this is a good way to start a conversation. Ultimatly you should be Japping Naam Athi Pehar so there is no need to talk :g: Embarresement or getting humiliated - Who cares what others think!! The key here is thinking realistically instead of negatively. The only reason you're getting these problems is because you're mind is a prisoner of your thoughts. If you think realistically what have you got to be embarresed about? You just need to think that everyone has good and bad points and everyone is in the same boat as you when it comes to getting humiliated, just laugh it off! Knowing that the person you talk to is nervous - Remember think REALISTICALLY. Is the other person actually nervous? He/she is most likely not. And so what if they are, just smile at them! Whats the worst that could happen? You get sweaty palms? You loose eye contact? Wow big deal. You need to make a list of all the stuff that makes you nervous. Then slowly tackly each one by doing manable exposures to social situation. Example you find that you get fear random people talking to you who you don't know. A good way to over come this is asking someone for directions, asking someone the time. Remember EXPOSURE EXPOSURE EXPOSURE! The more you expose yourself to social situations the less you will feel anxious around people. Its time you got out of the SAFE ZONE! And start to take managable risks. Or you could take the following options: - Do enough Bhagti to see Guroo Ang Sang. When Guroo is Ang Sang you have no fear which in result will not make you anxious. - Get to such a state of mind through Simran that Dukh, Sukh, fear, anxieties, hunger, sleep are all abolished and your mind is at forever peace. - Bhudists talk about having mindfulness. This is where you're able to think of the now for example concetrating on your breathing, but as Gursikhs when we take Amrit we are blessed with Gurmat Naam. By constantly Japing Naam we are at forever mindfulness as the mind will never get affected by negativity. So in conclusion: SMILE SMILE SMILE!! EXPOSER EXPOSER EXPOSER!! PRACTISE PRACTISE PRACTISE!! Ok thats enough of me ramabling on. If you need more help PM me. Gurfateh
