Although the driver had virk as a surname his first name seems to be Muslim ...all of these guys are scum and need to be put down , full stop.

Veer ji ,

we have different physiology than mice , but I would say yep Cow's milk as we consume it here in the West is very damaging to health, it is very acidic(forms acids) on digesting so the body leachs calcium from skeleton to buffer and rebalance ph levels of blood stream, if repeated then osteoporosis occurs , better off eating leafy greens, oranges, nuts and seeds for calcium and magnesium . Due to pasteurisation the protein become denatured and harder to digest/utilise as opposed to raw milk straight from cow . The heightened Ig1 hormone levels will also encourage development of insulin resistance and high blood sugars which wreck organs.

Also when Bhai Mardana passed on his skills to his son , he also told his son to keep kesh always if he wanted to be a rababi for Guru ji, so Rababis were rehitvaan too.

Rehit of Gursikhs has always been there, I have personally seen Guru Teg Bahadur's Kara which was discovered hidden in a wall in Guru ka Bagh Patna. I have heard from other Gursikhs that he also wore Kacchera...so my feeling it has always been there but Dasmesh Pita crystallised it to protect his beloved Gursikhs from Dhils.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

One of the commitments that Bhai Mardana had to make to Guru Nanak Sahib was to keep kesh. It appears to be from the beginning. Source: Katha I randomly remember and multiple citations multiple times on Internet. Either that Kathakar is really popular, or they are all referencing one source that I don't know the name of.

Some state that the original Janamsakhi had this reference in a conversation between Guru Nanak Sahib and Peer Bahauddin Source: http://gurmatbibek.com/forum/read.php?3,30325,30325

Mundan cermemony - That Guru Sahib rejected janeo ceremony is known. Mundan is unknown to me and has not been cited explicitly.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

There must be a specific knee targeting disease in the India that disables all politicians and requires them to sit on chairs when in the presence of Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib...yeah, that's it.

I think I've found the cure....ek kaaaske chittar to the back of the head

They are crying today but will they keep their rehit and become Gursikhs Tomorrow? That is the million dollar question .

If you look back on original rehitvaan sikhs , they would give choola to the baby on birth or the very least while a child, the child would be brought up with the rehit uppermost in their lives and they would then take Amrit later once they understood what is expected and could maintain rehit. So logically everyone was amritdhari by the time Anand Karaj was a thought, that's why it wasn't an issue . Over the past century and a half dhils have been introduced into our rehit , very few babies are given choola at birth thus very few are brought up in rehitvaan lifestyle, and finally even fewer take full amrit; our women were excused from rehit of dastar because they too became dhilian in rehit (personally I feel that is where we created the damage as mothers were not strong/knowledgable in Sikhi so, being the first teacher of the future generations we should have stopped the rot then), the Men became complacent about having amrit and so it continued in a downward spiral to today.

Those few lucky ones who still are living the rehitvaan lifestyle are being Sikhs in the fullest sense by actions not just words, which is after all The Guru's way, may we all go back to being fully on board with Guru ji and prosper in this age of Spiritual Darkness

p.s. to be Guru's sikh you had to be rehitvaan and take charan di pahul , charan di pahul= Khanda di Pahul thus to be sikh one has to give our 'everything'- tan,man, dhan to gain the Guru's kirpa.

And where did you get this bright idea that "anand karaj is for amritdhari only."

Go and read the Sikh Rehat Maryada on Anand Karaj and ask if you cannot understand whats written there.

Raw veganism is amazing ....

I am training hard in the gym (powerlifting ) so peanuts are an excellent source of dense calories

BTW the reason I went vegan was primarily animals however the health benefits were just incredible.

have you tried hemp all the aminos you need plus omegas ?

Your logic makes no sense at all. I'm trying to make a point here. According to your logic...last week was the Gurpurab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. On TV they had a live 48 hour broadcast of the full Akhand paat sahib from a gurdwara in Toronto. According to your logic...the only way I could have listened to this Paat is by buying a brand new tv that is used solely for gurbani? Did I commit a sin by watching the broadcast on my TV which obviously has a lot of gandh on it?

I'm trying to make you think outside the box a little. I'm not going to feel guilty reading Paat on my laptop. I understand that there is gandh online... But I'm not watching that stuff... I'm reading Bani. When you guys do parchar like this, there's one thing you don't realize: you are breaking people away from Bani (not on purpose). You make reading Bani so difficult, that many people will not even bother, or feel guilty about doing so. Please open your mind and realize that when you write things like this, you could be influencing a lot of people to also live in a paranoid, guilt ridden state. Not a good way to live bro.

Veer ji,

I was saying that if you are in that frame of mind to use gandh (the original subject was porn) One should try to stay away from it altogether ...if you can't manage that, then don't do it in the same situation/place like veer's example his bedroom where you do Bani and try to keep that place shudh , I mean Puarantan Sewaks keep their Akhand path Raul clothes specifically for that sewa, they don't use those clothes for any other thing in their life. There is a reason for it , we need to keep clean inside our minds and outside in body and behaviour, and wearing those clothes help them stay focussed o their sewa.

If we know that we have that kaami content on the machine our mind which is dheeth will wander into thoughts which have no place when we are trying to do Simarna of Akal Purakh, it is hard enough to control the mind on shudh ucharan , gurbani vichar without knowingly put distraction/temptations in the way of our subconscious.

I don't want people to stop getting laaha I just want them not to be their own enemies and make it ten times harder

Dhadhi Jathey can teach so much if we just listen... beautiful

ensure Sikhi in your family, be Guru duar da vawadar Kookar ....

The answer still remains the same for Sikhs in India too.

The parents have no time to speak to their children in Punjabi.

How long does it take? My Mum and Dad managed to swap out english gradually and replace it with Punjabi in household conversation,Dad used to drop arths on us from time to time as we listen to kirtan/paat in the home. This is while they were out of the home 12 hours out of 24 , like the gorey say 'where there is a will there is a way' . When they felt we were not being served they sent us to a dedicated Punjabi school(not gurdwara based) for a couple of terms. I can read and write punjabi , granted my reading is slower than I like but I think without listening/talking Punjabi it would be much harder to understand and might have gotten put off from striving to improve. My sister spent a year in India so her conversational skills are a lot better than mine (tet punjabi) so we only chat in Punjabi when we talk so both of us benefit with the practice.

I use the same technique with my kids as Mum did and I try to expose and encourage them to listen to Jugraj Singh ji's and Baljit Singh ji's English katha as the arths and terms used to explain concepts are helpfully put up on screen as they speak in Punjabi. I did send them to local Gurdwara Punjabi school but it was chaotic and they didn't benefit much. Next I will use a combination of youtube resources , classes at Karamsar Gurdwara and loads of conversation at home. Waheguru kirpa karo.

Watched this on FB

looks like a good practice to add to our skill set

OK...so since you close your room door so no sound can come in...then I guess this same logic can apply to a computer. if a computer has a file with Bani on it...simply don't open other files at the same time! What's the difference between closing your room door and closing all other files on your computer when you are going to read Bani? Think about it bro. Use your logic. You said you close your room door when others are watching TV etc... So why not just close other files while reading Bani? Why do you feel the need to delete files off of other people's laptops when you are basically doing the same thing?

Veer ji

but if the PC had gandh in terms of file contents on it and the person used those files then are you saying that it is permissible/ to use gurbani in same PC just so long as you shut the gandh up at the time?

would you have peeps behave as massa ranghar one minute then shut that down and next minute start gurbani paat in same arena i.e. on the pc; surely it would be better to say don't do it ever if you can and try not to use any machine which you use to listen read gurbani on? Just wondering.

Blame it on the parents who have no time to teach Punjabi to their children.

veer some parents have limited colloqiual panjabi but know gurbani and arth of the panjabi used there , whatever they have they are passing on is that the best start ?

I would love to learn more but I feel that what is useful in day to day is limited help as people don't speak so eloquently in Panjabi these days ...would love to be able to speak my beautiful maa boli to the fullest extent and stomp out those people's opinions that it's the language of ujard lok

image.jpg

surely it's ehme ...fifty percent punjabi failed ....aieee

Seriously that's how the Chinese tried to destroy Buddhism they attacked the language first , and how the slaves were subdued by White traders preventing them from speaking their languages. And that is how our future generations are being distanced from original historical information, and increasing their reliance on the gandigi being printed in Hindi text and English by SGPC and RSS

no tarsem singh tarmala's group i guess

The Singh ji speaking in English sounds so much like Singh ji from CK Jatha ... oh well good lecture

who is speaking ? is it the guys from chardhi kala jatha ?

its maryada itself came from punjab , puratan bibi jis never took amrit , they only took chula , only a few took amrit

no one was called sikh until they took chula

How can you say? Amrit is only one, Khanda da bata da after all Mai Bhago only became Mata Bhaag Kaur after Amrit, she is one example of many women who became Khalsa (Guru ji's mahal must have had to keep rehit and other women of the household had amrit too. I'm sure Guru ji would not have sanctioned a different method for women as this is going the opposite way to break all bharam of caste, race, sex etc. We do choola of kirpan for Mother and child at the birth of a child accordig to Taksali maryada I am not sure if any other institutions say different.

Anyway the meaning of chula is taking amrit with the understanding that the person will adopt full rehit eventually so is no different ultimately. When I had choola as a kid it was from same bata as everyone else.

If you guys really feel this hardcore about Bani being on the same servers as anti Sikhi stuff, and Bani on laptops with songs etc.... I challenge you to get rid of your TV at home because I'm sure you have a Gutka sahib at home. Don't talk the talk...walk the walk. Get rid of your TVs..there's so much garbage on it, how dare you have it in the same home as a Gutka sahib. But... I'm pretty sure you'll find an excuse about how it's ok. Haha.. Hilarious.

We can try our utmost to respect bani, nothing wrong in that. My point was if we feel that our web content is stored in locations or by people who may not safeguard it from hacking , malicious altering, or serve people who have nefarious content, then make our own ...

what's 'anti-sikh' ? if you mean stuff that increase panj chor sure I agree we should avoid contact mentally with that stuff. It's not a big deal to have dedicated pendrives, mp3players for bani in the home. I don't keep my gutkey mixed in with my worldy gian books, they are kept seperate, above head height,with covers, always have .

i have always wondered about that,

Maybe it is better to make bani only webservers which have to be subscribed to ...

Jkv yes i do eat lots of fatty fruits such as coconut and avocado but oils not so much

I also eat lots of peanuts and since going vegan i have lot more energy better sleep better digestion etc

Yep I agree when I did raw vegan I dropped massive amounts and slept less, but had tons of energy, the mind was more shant too, real sabar came with it. Fats ideally should only be in natural form not from pressed oils , too calorific but peanuts are really not so great...but to each their own.

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is well. I have been well. Something in me try's to avoid doing God's will. It might be fear. I think it is. How can this be overcome?

Veer ji,

it is just your mann squirming because it knows its power over you is waning/lessening just stick to what is working for you...amritvela, bani, nam jap ...all will be well

Waheguru ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh

Ayurveda fans - it also highly recommends cow urine drinking as a cure for all ailments.

I think this is degenerating into an ego argument instead of an exchange of ideas.

World's longest and healthiest living populations e.g in okinawa do not consume any dairy and very little meat.

I am myself a vegan for about 2 years now and have shed 40 pounds , and my LDL cholesterol has dropped to an incredibly low levels.

But does that mean you refuse Karah Parshad?

THE COLUMN

Volume 10, Issue 20, pp. 8

A team of researchers at the University of Huddersfield, UK, has investigated the potential of okra for emulsification of certain food products using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.1 Okra is a flowering plant and originates from Africa. Okra pectins are acidic, random coil polysaccharides composed of galactose, rhamnose, and galacturonic acid. Pectins are used in the food industry for their gelling, stabilizing, and thickening properties. Okra pectins differ quite substantially from those extracted from apple, citrus, and beet in terms of protein and acetyl contents, indicating their greater hydrophobicity and suggesting that pectin derived from okra can be used as an effective emulsifying agent.

Extracts rich in pectins were isolated by aqueous extraction from okra pods. Extracted polysaccharides were assessed using SEC and FTIR spectroscopy. Lead author of the study, Katerina Alba, told The Column: SEC was performed in order to obtain information with regards to molecular dimensions of isolated pectins. This data contributed to further understanding of the effect of extraction conditions on the physiochemical characteristics of okra polysaccharides, and consequently their potential to act as emulsifying agents.

The two extracts, OE6 and OE4, both showed good emulsification but differed greatly in terms of their efficiency towards long-term stabilization against coarsening. OE6 emulsions were stable; OE4 were more susceptible to coarsening, which resulted in droplets of greater than average size. The increased stability of the OE6 emulsions was attributed to the higher protein load of the interfaces, resulting in increased rigidity; viscosity was also two times greater than OE4.

Katerina detailed how beneficial this research could be for the food industry and for consumers. She said: Recently, the nutritional and functional properties of okra pods have re-awakened interest to research its potential uses. There were several studies that have revealed the antioxidant activity of okra flour, whereas okra seeds are also considered as [a] high-protein oilseed crop and can be used as a complement to other pectin sources. Physiological studies have demonstrated hypoglycemic

properties of okra polysaccharides, suggesting their potential use as functional food ingredients. However, the structural analysis and potential of okra isolates to act as a food hydrocolloid in model food matrices have not been reported yet.

The team concluded that okra extracts are good candidates for emulsification in acidic environments. Katerina concluded: Future research will involve the evaluation of gelation properties of polysaccharides extracted from okra pods and further exploration of its potential in drug delivery systems.
