Birthhee kadhae na hoveyee jan kee ardaas || The prayer of the Lord's humble servant is never offered in vain. Please read the whole shabad: http://www.sikhitothemax.com/page.asp?ShabadID=3083

Anyone have Bhai Harpreet Singh's "Toon Prabh Daata Daan Mat Poora" or the same shabad in a different tune starting from the line "Ghat Ghat Rav Rehea Banvaari"? It may have been done during a past Vancouver Smagam.

Cocoa and carob powder are not the same, but can be substituted for one another. You can use carob powder in place of cocoa powder in any recipe. I usually add slightly more carob powder in place of the cocoa powder, but slightly less sugar in the recipe then.

Ask around for contact info of Professor Parshotam Singh who resides in Waterloo, right near the UW campus. He is well known for teaching keertan and tabla. He can likely get you a really good set of tablas and might even have some on hand for you.

You could also look into Shaheeds who were in the prime of their youth when they gave their lives to the panth. Check Tapoban.org for stories and pictures. A few I have off hand are the following who were in their mid-20's or so. http://tapoban.org/phorum/read.php?f=1&amp...204&t=27204 http://tapoban.org/phorum/read.php?f=1&amp...978&t=40978

Please see HERE and HERE for info/pics on 8-year-old Bibi Satnaam Kaur and 6-year-old Bibi Waheguru Kaur.

The answer is no. To have no emotion would not be a good thing...it would mean no daya or empathy for others, no ability to feel for others. There are stories of great Gursikhs and their relationships with their wives, as well as closeness to other gursikhs and sangat. These relationships were surely not without emotion. Bairaag is another example of a very intense emotion Gursikhs of high spiritual states experience. These emotions are based on Gurmat and aimed towards Gursikhs and Guru Sahib, as opposed to being directed towards maya, as stated earlier.

Maybe she eats in your dishes so she'll have fewer to wash. And maybe she eats last because she's still making rotis by the time everyone else is finished eating. Maybe you could try switching up the roles...you cook and wash dishes and maybe she'll feel more at liberty to eat before you and use her own dishes

To me, a patka is not really a significant symbol of anything in Sikhi. It is not a keski or a dastaar, nor a kirpan or anything else of that nature that comes along with "responsibility" and the idea of honour and representing an image. It has no significant history or tradition behind it. A patka is more like a chunni...just something with which to cover the head. Just as many women wear a chunni without any preconditions, to me, a girl in a patka is pretty much the same thing. Many girls go from wearing a chunni to wearing a patka before eventually progressing to donning a keski and dastaar, so this girl may just be on her way from one point to another whereby she's trying to progress but hasn't been able to stop cutting her hair yet. The issue isn't really "she isn't worthy enough to wear a patka" because to me, a patka doesn't really mean much more than a chunni. The issue is simply that maybe you could help her stop doing beadbi of her hair.

I'd suggest Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Jee's "Jail Chittiyaan/Autobiography". It is a really good read and has inspired many people to find and follow Gurmat.

Here's an excerpt from a story posted on the Tapoban forum. Read the full story here. This incident occurred around 1939, when daas (the writer) was working as the DSP (Deputy Superintendent of Police) of Moga city in Punjab. I had not been given permanent status yet and was working as a temp. My wife who is a very religious person, decided to do 125,000 recitations of shabad “Thir Ghar Baiso Harjan Pyaaray”, in order to get me permanent position as the DSP of Moga. She did paath with utmost faith and enthusiasm. On the day of Bhog (on the 40th day), I myself performed the ardaas for the completion of 125,000 recitations of this shabad and asked for the fulfilment of our ardaas. When I reached my office on the 40th day, I found a telegram on my desk, informing me that I had been appointed as the DSP of Moga on permanent basis. I was astonished to see the power of Ardaas and Gurbani.

We don't really see that term used much in Canada, but I see now. Thanks for the clarification. Could Sikh Awareness Society, or anyone else who knows, please give more info on the seminar planned for the 24th?

Maybe check www.tapoban.org as they have lots of great files on shaheeds. For Gurdeep Singh Deepa, I found this: "gurdip singh deepa heran was killed in a encounter with a police party led by sho kamaljit singh near phillaur town at the end of year 1992" There's a picture of Bhai Hardev Singh Bapu about half-way down this page.
