No, they are not the same. Have you heard of Luv and Kush?

I look forward when this happens.

Baba Ram Rai Ji is Guru Ji's son, we should always respect him. Agree.

With Vaheguru's kirpa we were blessed with twin girls. We are looking for Sikh names for letter R and S. Hoping someone with greater knowledge can help with suggestions and what those names mean. Been trying to find a full english translation of the Mahan Kosh but only one I have been able to find are missing volume 4. Thanks!

Sukhprab, comes to mind for (S) and Rabji for (R). 

More like a part of the studio furniture.  Sits there like a permanent fixture, too old to be shifted or removed! Is this show still on air?

Truth is he was not tyaar khalsa but 'modern' fashionable sikh , unarmed and easy target. SIkhs around the globe have to wake up NO ONE in authority will help us we can only help and rely on ourselves and each other . We need to remove our rosy-tinted spectacles of nostalgia and think properly by what right and action have we proven waaris to Sikh Kaum and rectify that shortfall.

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I think we are waking up now to this reality.

I don't like the guy or his songs. He has got one of roughest singing voices I have ever heard. It sounds like a broken drum that needs tuning. Totally out of tune. Sorry to say this, but he is not one of my favs!

Have you even tried reading the article on him?

As veer posted above of guru maharaj mahvak says - 

ਗੁਰਿ ਕਹਿਆ ਸੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਧਰਿ ਹਾਂ ॥   गुरि कहिआ सु चिति धरि हां ॥   
Gur kahi▫ā so cẖiṯ ḏẖar hāʼn.   
The Guru says to install it in your consciousness.  

I is the key here, start witnessing your mind (how I arises, form identifications with thoughts/feeling) see how the drama of mind is being unfolded in form of- thoughts/emotions i feel, i feel like our association with thoughts and emotions etc etc. Form a gap between I (shud surat- consciousnesses without any identification of i am xyz person) by witnessing the mind without judgement - without grasping or without resisting)  and surat identifying with thoughts emotions (ego) feel/emotions/thoughts you will notice - thoughts will loose its power on ya then slowly but surely by maharaj grace- shud surat (consciousness) will merge back to its source, leaving you with internal sehaj- absolute balance- equipoise/chardi-kalah in all situations.

Sikh spiritual path is quite paradoxical, its easy and hard at the same time. Enjoy.

Thank you paji for pinpointing the Panktee above with precision and accuracy.  I hope it will help our brother CEO with his restlessness and uncertainty in his quest. Sikhee is a difficult Marag but not without spiritual joy and fulfilment.

The best things ever invented in the entire history of mankind for a Sikh are Kacherrays, Kanga, Kirpayn, Karra and Dastaar.  Please, don't change anything, leave our Kakkaars as they are.  They are precious gifts to us from our Guru Sahiban, so treasure them. Guard them with your life.

I am a really moody person, i think according to my mood. Sometimes i feel really close to Waheguru, i feel spiritual, but then sometimes i feel far away from Waheguru, i feel logical & scientific. I always try to stay motivated on what is important, but then philosophy kicks in. I feel like i need to become a hermit & start living on a mountain (if you know what i mean). Then another time, i feel as if success is as important as breathing, and that i need to know everything, from politics to poetry. Then another time, i feel careless and that fun is what matters. The point im implying is that does this happen to you too? And if anyone knows the recipe to stay motivated on one important thing, such as Sikhi, please do share. SSA  

I can help, are you prepared to listen?

Heavenly..

Waheguru..

Interesting conversation between mother and son. Do you have one between mother/father and daughter? Only joking!

Sri Aurobindo Ghose, he belonged to a secret anti-colonial movement called precisely Yugantar, meaning “New Age” or “Transition of an Epoch.”25 There was a strategic purpose behind the announcement in 1894 that the Kali Yuga was over and the Dwapara Yuga, a better age, already in progress; also behind the emphasis on 1899, only five years away, as the year that the new epoch would come into its own. In the early years of the twentieth century, the movement’s propaganda announced that the “sinful Iron Age was over” and urged insurrection. This is not an attack on Sri Yukteswar and those who respect him and his disciple Yogananda, but simply a reminder that even sages have their agendas. Guénon said as much about the authors of the Puranas!

This makes some sense.

The French government and the family of the French General Jean François Allard, who served in the army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, will install a statue of the Maharaja in St Tropez, France on September 17 and Ludhiana businessman, Harjinder Singh Kukreja during his last visit to Paris had initiated efforts to make the people of France aware of the great Sikh emperor.

The statue will be of 2 feet and 8.68 inches tall with 110 kg bronze. The statue was presented to French ambassador Alexander Ziegler at Punjab Bhawan in Chandigarh by Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on July 12.

In his last visit to Paris, Kukreja, who is a social activist too, cycled across Paris, starting his bike trip from Hotel de la Tremouille, where the last Sikh Maharaja, Duleep Singh died in October 22, 1893. Kukreja cycled across the French capital to top attractions such as Napoleon’s tomb and Les Invalides, the Louvre Museum and the Eiffel Tower. He stopped at the spots along with his French speaking translator and spoke to groups of people about the installation of the statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh at St Tropez, France.

Kukreja cycled to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed banks of the Seine River and stopped for a break among the trees in the pretty Tuileries Gardens. He distributed pamphlets to visitors at the Arc de Triomphe, the Orsay Museum and more, and shared information about the historical Franco-Punjab relations.

“The French capital is widely considered among the prettiest cities in Europe and a bike tour of Paris is a wonderful way to engage with Parisians,” says Kukreja.

“The Sikhs and France have an excellent historical past and I wished to celebrate that by creating awareness about it,” he added.

Most don’t know that Maharaja Ranjit Singh had a French elite army called FaujE-Khas that was trained by the famous French General, JeanFrancois Allard.

“Kukreja’s cycling activity has contributed to the awareness of turban and Sikhism in France, and also reminds the French of the great memories between Sikhs and France,” says Ranjit G Singh of Sikhs de France, an organisation which represents French Sikhs.

Thierry Morel, a French diplomat in India, appreciated Kukreja’s efforts on behalf of the French Embassy in India for highlighting Franco-Punjab relations.

"I must not understand the the meaning of the word mistake. Does it mean when a person or organization does a wrong, but refuses to change their ways after countless request from countless people from the sikh sangat around the world? I have tried approaching sikhnet elites like Guruka singh and gurmustak singh in the past and they actually ignored me. Only when I got very loud and abrupt did they make a noise, but never did they change their ways from anti-gurmat practices. Instead they found dubious ways to reconfirm how they are actually practicing Sikhi by practicing manmat acts. Jugraj Singh is a political figure who favors Sikhnet and 3HO and will never tell them to stop their manmat practices. Yet Jugraj Singh never hesitates to attack Sikhs with punjabi backgrounds. Jugraj Singh says in this video not to criticize, then why did he make a whole video on Sri Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar being criticized by him? Basically, what I learned from watching this whole video is that Sikhnet plust Basics of Sikhi can criticize anyone and get away with it, but the sikh sangat can't and if they do, Sikhnet members and Basics of Sikhi will shame the sikh sangat. Give these fellows a big applause, They deserve siropa for biba putt characteristics.

They pick on Gursant Singh, why don't Gurmustak, Jugraj and rest of the lot have an open discussion with Gursant Singh? It's easy to pick on him when he is not there to defend himself. Long before I even heard of Gursant Singh, I caught wind of Sikhnet and 3HO practices on my own and was trying to address their wrong doing. Guruka Singh completely ignored my messages People from india who don't know me or Gursant Singh are aware and speaking out against their wrong doing. But we independent individuals are wrong for asking them to change their ways. Which backwards world does Jugraj and his buddy next to him live in? The characteristics of a Singh is to speak up against wrongs in Sikhi when given the opportunity. Perfect opportunity for Jugraj Singh to address why Sikhnet and 3HO are allowing women to be in the Punj Pyare and/or support this behaviour, why they practice astrology (endorse it), mudras, dancing to Gurbani, idol worship, etc. Instead Jugraj Singh puts the blame on those who are asking Sikhnet to change their ways to Gurmat.

Sikhnet is not making mistakes. They are supporting their mistakes as rights. The punjabi Sikh community is straight out calling Jathedars and telling them you are in bed with the government and ruining Sikhi. Any punjabi Sikh who supports the corrupt Jathedars is also being called out by punjabi Sikhs. Tell Jugraj Singh to ask, where are Sikhnet members or 3HO members who are criticizing their own for not following Gurmat? If you want to talk like a man, then walk as one. Any time Guruka Singh or Gurmustak Singh want to have an open discussion on this site, I am ready. Gurbani will be the root dicussion and if it is decided mudras, idol worship, astrology, dancing on Gurbani is not allowed, Sikhnet will openly teach these practices are against Gurmat on their site, partner sites, videos, social media and every other network medium they have available. Punjabi Sikhs are already teaching against alcohol, drugs, womanizing, partying, cutting hair and rest of the blame the 3HO and Sikhnet puts on us to justify their actions.

Any time Sikhnet elite members are ready for an open discussion, I am ready. They can gather all the material they need. Let's see if Sikhnet accepts this open discussion. They took a full hour in a video to say we want open discussions. So let's see if they actually meant what they said or is it all for show."
