i'd love to watch it :D! make sure you post your link!

its sad how its nearly always the women and later when they rub off the negativity onto the men they will be like 'oh what can we do, meh tha kehndi a challo koi na but eh ni manndeh' LOL !!! I know!!! people always talk about others faults and then moan that everyone they know are useless / all their relatives are for themselves, but only if they would talk about peoples positives then maybe they will begin liking people....You know what I always try to remember is, everyone thinks their doing right nobody does something whilst thinking 'Im going to do this bad thing' everyone thinks their doing good, so maybe if we try to understand the intentions behind peoples actions then the world could be a happier place lol also never feel alone, like they say wherever there is the truth, honesty and love, God is also their. So always remember that God is with you, however do try to make an effort with your family, try engaging them in good conversations and when you do know that its going off track try changing It again or if worst comes to worst just escape lol.... the reason why I say its important to spend time with them is because our sangat has a big influence on us, so if you know their bad for you in the aspect of them doing chugliyan, you should try to be the good sangat with them...

Awww bless!Lol i feel sorry for u... particularrly when it comes to parents and it all gets emotional and ethical. Its common that parents find it difficult to face bad comments from children because they want to be looked up at and when children start picking oyt faults they feel hurt as they have put in so much to raise you and all thrh really want is love... quite ethical really fo you keep their hearts or do you do put a stop to it?? Best thing is to japp naam because by doing that you are not only peaceful yourself but you create an aroma around you that make people around ypu peacefull.... try thinkibg of good positive topic you can discuss with your parents something you and them will enjoy and just trying distracting ghem... negativity is common in oldages as people have seen life n begin feeling angrier as you fong really gain anytjing unless you japp naam... remember you parents live u so make sure whatever you do your something them that you alsk love them back

I always thought about this too! Baba Nand singh ji used to really sit on tiger skin???

I have a cousin who has over stayed in the UK for about 7 years, i was wondering if there is any girl who may have overstayed or is prepared to get married to someone that has... he is a very kind and rehatwaan gursikh and has only over stayedto help his family, so please no silly comments please because i think its very stone hearted if we categorise people without understanding them, i think its quite amazing when you think about it - all the pain they go through for their family, to get them in a better position ... Anyway my cousin is aroumd 35 and has a very succesful and well runninh construction business, he is very kind hearted and fun to be around. The only request he has is that the girl should be gursikhi keyala wali as he has previously rejected a girl who was pakki here but required him to trim... If anyone wants to you can pm me, thank you... bhul chuk maaf karni

hahahha SEEE! you just had to disagree, that's why I can't agree with you because you'll always disagree with me!!!! even though this is the first time we've spoke LOL anyhow you shall be hurt! there's no escape muhahah

^^^ I agree LOL haha

Unfortunately i seem to be going thorugh a similar phase and weirdly it feels quite good to see that im not the only one suffering :lol: I always think about doing some sort of voice exercises but i havent really found any .. does anyone know any? As we're talking about this, i remember hearing a saaki i THINK it was Bhai Balwinder Singh ji rangila who's father did kirtan but wasn't very good at it as in voice wise hence people use to try to discourage him so bhai sahibs mother would always ask for kirtan di daath for her children and with the blessing of Guru sahib ji they all have beautiful voices in which they do amazing kirtan with.... Similarly Bhai Gurpreet Singh ji in an interview said that when they were young they use to travel long miles on a bicycle with their mother and then their mum use to beg the gurdwaras to allow bhai sahib to do kirtan, even if it was just for a few minutes. They said sometimes the kirtan wouldn't be so perfect but they'd ask Waheguru ji for forgivness if they had done anything wrong and remain in chardikala spirits... they never gave up... so i think maybe we should pray hard too and ask waheguru ji to bless us with kirtan di daat... lets not loose hope or give up , kirtan is a special gift, not everyone has this blessing so if we can play the vajja we should not stop even if our voices are bad, keep motivated, ki pata, maybe mahraj ji is enjoying our tone deaf kirtan haha... But seriously like they say after the darkest nights theres the brightest mornings so just keep on track because at the end of the day the time you spend trying to learn a shabad and play the shabad is also going in 'lekha' as you are singing the praises of god... so ehda socho k apna kuch janda nahi, we will only gain someting I pray that waheguru ji helps you guys with your kirtan and im sure that if you keep doing it with love and have faith, nothing will sound better than your kirtan because jithe pyar hunda, wahgeuru ji othe hunde a and jithe waheguru ji a theres no better place.... please do Ardas for me too. Saare akho Satnaam Shri Waheguru ... oooooo the amrit vela idea sounds good but maybe not for the rest of the family that are sleeping lol....

what happened ??? I kind of got lost at this point?

amazing! veere a humble request, please keep posting imspiring saakhis! amazing to read!

HAHHAHHA your hahah made me laugh even more!!!

veere please share some saakiya about baba ji .... you were blessed with the sangat of such a great mahapursh and you must remember that not everyone has the lucky opportunity to find a true saint. Be strong, do not cry instead make a promise to baba ji before they go, that you will at least fully follow one of their bachans ... this way you will make your jeevan saffal and be blessed with baba ji's khushiyan... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR-iYHq7FAc

waheguru jiii whenever baba ji use to see 5 singhs together they use to make them stand infront of guru ji and do ardas for duniya di chardikala and ask for our forgiveness.... dhan guru nanak

Fateh veer ji or pen ji first of all I would like to apologies for my delay in replying,,, suicide is a very sensitive topic and I just didn't want to say anything without thinking I through properly.... suicide thoughts are actually more common than you may think I remember when I was young me and my friend use to talk about suicide, how you could just end everything there, bang, bas everythings gone. however only thanks to sache paathsha I have realised suicide is the end to nothing, apart from happiness. I remember hearing in the katha once that by committing suicide 1. your automatically into another life cycle 2. your now carryng extra baggage of paap for ending your previous life. So thinking about it whats really the point? What happens to us today is due to our karam, right? so why make more bad karams by suicide. Personally in my mind I see suicide as a maze, you get out one door thinking "pheewww i'm gone" but then your trapped in another puzzle. Also a point to think about is we don't know whats going to happen the next second forget about the next day so imagine if we were to die tomorrow but today we committed suicide, what have we done? we've just gone and messed everything up.... so please please PLEASEEE, don't think about suicide the dukh that we have in our karam we have to go through, its like schooling no matter how much we hate it we have to go through it, so why don't we just accept it and allow gods will to flow. Your probably thinking now, 'why is god doing this to me? what can I do to make it all stop?' and the simple answers are, gods doing this because we haven't japp'ed enough naam and only by japp'ing naam this will go away. Its like if you have a black paint brush, no matter what colour is underneath you can use it to hide it.... Also my top tip which I give to everyone (not that i'm worthy of giving tips but still lol ) is THINK POSITIVE! Trust me I cant explain or emphasises enough that just by thinking positive you can make a problem which looks as big as a mountain look like a tiny little pebble. Remember most of our problems/worries don't even exist outside our brains/minds. You say you have low self esteem, think why? why should you have low self esteem when yours just like all of us? Your the creation of the benevolent waheguru ji and so are we, you have the spark of the divine in you so do we, fir kyu? Remember waheguru ji isn't angry with you he doesn't hate you he loves you and is just waiting for you to pray and call him, think of him as the fire brigade, he has all the equipment to stop the fire and will even risk everything to save you but he can only do that if you call him to the rescue..... call wahgeuru ji like you would call your mother, when we need our mums we don't just sit there and blankly say "mum " we shout out "muuummmm :') " << it would've been much easier if I could sepak this out - hope you understand what im trying to say lol :D okay han ji I know what your probably thinking - what do you know? you haven't been through what i have ? i'm not you ? but hey I know someone who knows exactly what you've been through and is a part of you - WAHEGURU JIIIII ਹਮਰੀ ਬੇਦਨਿ ਤੂ ਜਾਨਤਾ ਸਾਹਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਕਿਆ ਜਾਨੈ ਕੋਇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Hamaree Baedhan Thoo Janatha Saha Avar Kia Janai Koe || Rehao || You alone know my inner pain, O King; what can anyone else know? ||Pause|| Waheguru ji has been through whatever you have because he is always within you, talk to him, do simran, make him happy.... I know doing simran sometimes can be very hard , what I do is when im praying for worries I sing a shabad, so what i'll do is find a shabad according to its meaning and my problem so for example imagine if i'm worries about something about my family I sing this shabad - ਸਿਮਰਉ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਉ ॥ Simaro Simar Simar Sukh Paavo || Meditate, meditate, meditate in remembrance of Him, and find peace. ਕਲਿ ਕਲੇਸ ਤਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਮਿਟਾਵਉ ॥ Kal Kalaes Than Maahi Mittaavo || Worry and anguish shall be dispelled from your body. the reason why I do this is that it helps me actually think about what i'm saying and what type of feeling/bhavna to have when talking to waheguru ji, it make it more personal and I feel that waheguru ji is listening to me .... Your lucky you can read Punjabi, think about all those people who want to read bani but they can't read punjbai and have so many difficulties... also your still young, everyone always says that its much easier to change your life around when your young because to be honest who really knows you, you haven't made your mark on the world yet, you still have the opportunity to change, people see your as a kid, you have that chance to change without all those people bugging you... you can do it waheguru ji kirpa karan... charna da pyar bakshan.... bhul chuk maaf karni, let us know how you go ... take care and remember chuck the sue outside- no thinking about suicide :D

hahha!!! Happy new year to all the sangat, may waheguru ji bless each and every one of us with his naam di daath

thanks, this will be useful for me because for some reason I just can't seem to get my 1 hour of simran done i'll try but just fall asleep or get so tired and agitated that I can't continue... may waheguru ji forgive me for any mistakes..

Guru Angad Sahib Ji lived at Khadur Sahib in the Punjab, India. There lived a yogi named Shiv Nath in the same village. Yogis were saints who did not marry. They had a great hold on the people. Shiv Nath was very proud. He became jealous of the Guru's fame. So he started making plans to get rid of the Guru by fair means or foul. He was on the look out for a chance to make the Guru feel small. Once, it did not rain for a long time. There was a danger of drought. So the people were worried. They went to the yogi and asked him to do something about it. The yogi replied in anger, 'How can you expect rain, you fools, when you look upon a married man as your Guru? Turn him out of the village and you will surely get rain." The people were carried away by the yogi's words. They went to the Guru and said, "O Guru, the crops are dying for want of rain. If you will kindly leave this village, the yogi can save us by bringing rain for us." "Dear friends," replied the Guru, "Rain and sunshine are natural. They are in the hands of God. Still, I don't mind leaving the village if it is in your interest." The next day, the Guru left the village. The people went to the yogi once more to ask for rain. The yogi could do nothing against the law of nature. It did not rain. The people waited for some days but then became very angry and realised their fault. They dragged the yogi out of his hut into their fields. It so happened that it rained in every field into which they dragged the yogi. So everyone was keen to drag the yogi into his own field first. They dragged him this way and that till he was sorry and accepted that he lied about the Guru. The villagers were very sorry to have turned the Guru out of the village. They realised their mistake. They went to him and begged his pardon. They brought Guruji back with great respect. The Guru told the people to have faith in the Will of God. He then started a common kitchen in that village, with the help of his followers. This was known as the 'Guru Ka Langar' ("the Guru's Kitchen"). Anyone could come at any time and have a free dinner in the Langar. Men, women and children of all castes, religions, colours and races sat and ate together. Many people cheerfully offered free service in the Langar and joined the sangat regularly. "Why call him blind, who is blind by the Will of God? Nanak, it is he who will not understand God's Will, who should be called blind." (Guru Angad Sahib ji) "What pleases Him, Nanak, is good. They who must abide by His Will, have no power of their own" (Guru Angad Sahib ji) "When He gives His order, Men must follow, Men must act according to God's Will; Nanak, Men come when they are sent by God, And die when they are called by Him." (Guru Angad Sahib ji)

waheguru ji! I hope maharaj blesses me with the strength to do so.....

BLESSING OF SANGAT Once the State Governor (subedar) carne to see the Guru with the question "O Guru, when you are pleased with a Sikh, what do you give him?" "When I am pleased with a Sikh, I send to his house one who is dear to me", replied the Guru. "Guruji, if you are very pleased with a Sikh, then what do you give him'!,' "When I am more pleased with a Sikh, I send to his house, two of my dear ones." "And if, Guruji, you are still more pleased, what would you give him?" "In that case I would send three of my dear ones to his house." The subedar continued to repeat his question, until the Guru had raised the number of dear ones to ten. "When you send ten dear ones to a Sikh, what does the Sikh gain out of it?" "The more the dear ones that visit a Sikh, the more is the praise and discussion of the Lord. In the company of saints, spiritual discussion automatically takes place. Whatever the Sikh hears will stay in his mind, and ultimately liberate him from the cycle of birth and death. At the same time his livelihood will flourish, and his family will also follow his example in serving the saintly persons, to become pure like him. Such are the benefits of a saint's visit." The reply pleased the subedur. saadhhoo dhhoor karo nith majan sabh kilabikh paap gavaaein || I take my daily cleansing bath in the dust of the feet of the Holy, and I am rid of all my sins.

it took me a while to find this in my diary but here it is .... this was just a poem which randomly came to my head when I heard a speech by Jathedar Mal Singh ji about the Beadbi of Guru Granth Sahib ji's saroop.... They were saying that we should be ashamed of ourselves k koi saddeh Guru nu mitti da tehl pa ke agan peth kar deve and we can still get to sleep at night? ..... I was so touched by their words and embarrassed to call myself a Sikh as I too just simply went to sleep, but that night I didn't , I stayed up and thought about this poem- ki saddi zameer mukh gayi, ki sadi anakh wali soch sukh gayi ? lokha de hakh jo dawonda c khalsa, ajj apne hakka layi dar-dar appeala pounda khalsa, jehre desh layi sadde gurra ne khud nu vaar ta, ajj ohna ne hi sada akaal roop granth saar ta jail'a vich band karke rakh laye saddi kaum di ankhi sher kehra chadda'veh ohna nu, kon hai ehna daler ? Bhai Gurbaksh Singh ji a bête la ke pukh hartaal Dasso kehre leader'a nu a fikar, kehne kitti ohna di puch partaal? sikho! kehra mooh leh ke jaavo geh Dasmeh pitta kol? kivveh dassugeh, ki ohna de updesha nu ditta tusi rol? dikha ditta tusi duniya nu, k jehre guru ne chirriya toh baaz si tharaye ajj ohda hi Sikh pull geya, apni sardari kivveh bachaye? utho, jaago sikho, haje v waqt hai saambh loh apne peo di pagg nu khalsa hajjeh vi chardikala vich jeoda hai, dikha deo jagg nu! Bhul chuk maaf karni Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fathe

awww woaw thank you, i didnt even think it was that good ! haha han ji i do have more poems and ill share them ... but cannot promise that their very good lol

thank you i like this saaki too .... Bhai Suman Ji and Bhai Moosan Ji were a father and son who were beloved Gursikhs of Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj. Although these two Gursikhs were very poor materialistically they were very rich spiritually. On one occasion they had travelled to be blessed with Guru Ji's darshan. After arriving in Guru Ji's darbar and kissing Maharaj's charankamal they did a benti to Guru Sahib to bless their village with his holy presence. Maharaj smiled at his two beloved Sikhs and accepted their request. In the presence of his Sangat Maharaj told all the Sikhs that they would be going to Bhai Suman Ji and Bhai Moosan Ji's house on such and such a day.Bhai Suman Ji and Bhai Moosan Ji headed home with tears of happiness as they had been blessed by Maharaj with such a mahaan seva. Many times we often question how we will be able to do a seva that Guru Sahib has himself given us. But look at these two beloved Sikhs of Guru Sahib who didn't have any maya to their name begging Maharaj for this seva. Bhai Suman Ji and his son Bhai Moosan Ji began to work day and night on the land of a rich man. Every day they would take the Name of Dhan Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj on their lips and would not stop working for sleep or food or water. With Maharaj firmly implanted in their minds all they thought about was the seva that they had been blessed with. After working very hard in this way finally the day of their payment had arrived. Bhai Suman Ji and Bhai Moosan Ji had planned to use this money to buy all the things they required to make Guru Sahib's langar with their own hands. When they went to see the rich man to collect their payment their clothes were dripping with sweat and had been stained with blood from their limbs. The rich man opened his door when he noticed Bhai Suman Ji and Bhai Moosan Ji were coming, looked at them and simply refused to pay them for the work that they had done. Bhai Suman Ji and Bhai Moosan Ji were heartbroken and went home. They were deeply saddened not that the rich man had refused to pay them but that they would not be able to perform Guru Sahib's seva. After a while they though to themselves that the money they are owed is their right. They soon made a plan to go back to the rich man's house in the night to take what was rightfully theirs. At night Bhai Suman Ji and Bhai Moosan Ji used a ladder to climb into the house of the rich man. Bhai Moosan Ji went in first, slipped and was dangling from the rich man's ceiling. As Bhai Moosan Ji was dangling he began to hear voices and realised that the rich man's family had woken up. Without a second thought Bhai Moosan Ji looked up to his father had said, "Pita Ji cut my head off". Bhai Moosan Ji had asked his father to do this as he knew that if the rich man came and saw him dangling there word would get around that Sikhs of Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj are thieves. This is the love Gursikhs have for their Guru. Bhai Suman Ji knew this too and quickly took out his sword and with one blow cut his son's head off. This is the love Gursikhs have for their Guru. Bhai Suman Ji wrapped his son's head in a cloth and went home leaving his body there. When the rich man came out he saw a dead body which had been decapitated on the floor. He then began to think that if people come to know that there is a dead body in my house they will think that I am a murderer. With the help of one of his servants he put Bhai Moosan Ji's body on a cart and decided to take the body to the house of Bhai Suman Ji and Bhai Moosan Ji as these were the only honest people that he knew who he could depend on. When he arrived at Bhai Suman Ji's house he gave Bhai Suman Ji the money that was owed to them. He then told him that there was a body that he had bought with him in the cart that he wanted them to get rid of. Bhai Suman Ji took his son's body from the cart and into his house. He then placed it with the head of Bhai Moosan Ji that he had brought back and covered both with a sheet. Bhai Suman Ji did an ardas to Maharaj and thanked Guru Ji. He then began to make the langar for all the sangat who were due to arrive the following morning. In the morning Bhai Suman Ji's beloved Guru arrived with his sangat. As Guru Ji was about to have his langar he looked at Bhai Suman Ji and said, "Suman where is your son Moosan I haven't seen him. Go and call him." Guru Ji then turned towards the house where Bhai Suman Ji had covered his son's head and body and started calling out to Moosan. As soon as Guru Maharaj did this Bhai Moosan Ji came out of the house and bowed together with his father Bhai Suman Ji at the charankamal of their beloved Guru. Akho Satnaam Sri Waheguru ji.

i was wondering about the lemon thing becuase i always hear people say that 'khatiya cheza' encourage acne, like juice, curry etc
