Thank you,GurburAkal

Actually wanting kirtan with proper raags applied.Like Chardikala jatha's Japji Sahib kirtan.

Anyone knows a kirtan artist who do good kirtan ,pronouncing gurbani correctly and his kirtan is melodious to listen? Mainly Nitnem banis kirtan. Also kirtan style similar to raagi's doing kirtan in Gurudwara Sahib's.

From my point of view Earth will have a drastic climate change over the coming 10-30 years and then will come the "khalsa raaj". Have anyone listned to Katha of Giani Thakur Singh ji about the tsunami waves?

Do you really thing any of us can give you a proper and required answer or are you here just getting hurt more and more? None of us can analyze the situation as you two do. Be a "KHALSA" Ask your Guru,only they can set you free.

Start doing "Chaupai Sahib" paths.Quantity depends on your problem.The more you do the less your KAAM,KRODH,LOBH,MOH,HANKAR gets.Maybe you can start from 15/per day minnimum.These are the reason gems of bani are given to us by Guru maharaj.

Start listening katha it will help u more from www.GurbaniUpdesh.org etc.

Let me explain this by the caste division system.As you know there are 4 classes of people divided: 1)kshatriyas 2)brahmans 3)shudars 4)vaishyas Kshatriyas were the people who managed the empire (i.e kingdom),they were the kings.They also used to eat meat.But in Sri dasam granth some of them are said to be of high spirituality and resulting in "mukti". Some havans done by Brahmans also needed animal sacrifices too.Animal sacrifice is also related to the victory of goddess Durga on the demons. Sikhi is made by combining 4 classes(kshatriyas,brahmans,shudars,vaishyas) into a single person.That's the main reason Shri Harmandir Sahib has four doors ,explaining that it is open for all 4 classes.A Amritdhari(khalsa) can take life of someone for the purpose of selfdefence.But sacrificing and eating animals is not allowded in Sikhi due to the spiritual cost and the negative energy from the eating material. The universe is made by the God with "Maya" as he himself remain untouched to it.Maya further made 3 guns 1)Sato gun 2)Rajo gun 3)Tamo gun and then 5 elements were made. 1)sato gun is the state of mind of a person with compassion,faith,love etc. 2)Rajo gun is the state of mind of a person with intellectual skills,more interested in politics etc. 3)Tamo gun is the state of mind of a person who is short temppered,always ready to fight. Tamo gun is the lowest of these guns.Meat is a Tamo gun food.It increases tamo gun in us.Sikhi's ultimate aim is to reach the 4th gun state (Brahm gian) which can only be given by God not Maya ,after one reaches the state of sato gun then brahm gian is obtained. These answers will help you : Question: Master ji, we all know that it's very crucial to abstain from the eating of meat because this increases our karmas, but can you explain in more detail the reasons for becoming vegetarian? Thakar Singh: We should not increase our burden of karmas as you have already said. There is karmic value in every kind of thing we use in this world. The air we consume, we have to pay for. The water we use, we have to pay for. The light of the sun or moon is also not free for us, and this green grass is also to be paid for - nothing is free. Depending on the "Jun" (life-form), there is a price to be paid. Lower life forms have a lower price to pay. Plants have a lower spiritual price than animal life forms. So why take the higher burden? If you are to construct a house, you don't make it with gold or silver or jewels. If you can, you make the house with stone - Stone is very strong and cheap -- So, why don't you make your house with stone and bricks instead of gold? This body is like a house. Build it with material that is spiritually cheap and strong. Fruits and vegetables are spiritually cheap and they can make you spiritually and physically strong. Higher life-forms are expensive - and you will have to pay a higher price! In the same way, if we can maintain a simple life style, with a spiritually lower cost - with this greenery, fruits, etc - then why attract so much burden and payment of karma by consuming higher life-forms? God did not really say that it is "burden-less" or it is all free. He has never explained it like this, but He has allowed us to have these lower forms because with our meditations we can release ourselves very quickly and easily and therefore we will not "over-burden" ourselves for a long time. This is also the case with people who eat animals. Their nervous systems have been seriously disturbed and shaken. Even if you look at an animal that has been killed you will be emotionally affected; your nervous system will be disturbed and you will lose so much peace; you will not feel good and your heart will be affected by it. Look at a dying fish. It is out of water and if you look at it, for one or two hours or even some days your heart will not feel good. You will think of the condition of that fish and it will feel horrible and your heart and mind will be in some kind of perturbed state. For months even this state of mind will continue. Maybe after a long time you will forget this scene and its effect will be gone from your heart and then perhaps you cannot remember it - still it has its effect. If just looking at a dead fish causes this then what will be the case when we eat it and all these negative vibrations enter into our system. So many diseases will come up and our mental systems will be disturbed. But when we eat some greenery or fruit everything is wonderful. The plant produces the fruit for consumption by an animal so that the seeds can be transported to new places. In fact by eating the fruit you are doing a favour to the plant! - the fruit is a bait for the animal to do a function that the plant desires - That is the function of a fruit. If you look at fruit that is ripe the colors tell you so wonderfully that it is ripe. A fragrance is also available and when you smell it you enjoy it and even when you remember the smell you feel good. Your heart is also enjoying and your mind and body are at peace. Q. Flesh-eaters often say to vegetarian Sikhs, if you eat only vegetables you are also taking life. What, then is the difference between taking the life of, say, a pig and that of a vegetable? A. All the difference in the world. Does a potato cry out when it is taken from the earth the way a calf does when it is taken from its mother? Does a stick of celery scream in pain and terror when it is picked the way a pig does when it is being led to slaughter and is having its throat cut? And how sad, lonely, and frightened can a head of lettuce feel? We don't need a polygraph to demonstrate that plants have consciousness of a sort, but this consciousness is obviously of a rudimentary kind, far different from that of mammals with well developed nervous systems. Nor do we need tests to prove that fowls and pigs and sheep experience pain to the same degree as human beings, for it is common observation that animals wince, howl, wail, and show terror when abused or injured and make every effort to avoid pain. Actually many fruits and vegetables can be picked without killing or even harming the plants. These include berries, melons, legumes, nuts, seeds, pumpkins, and many other vegetables. Potatoes are taken from the ground after the plant has died. Most vegetables are annuals, harvested at or near the end of their natural life. In fact, there is considerable scientific evidence that the human physiology, like that of our closest living creatures - the great apes, is vegetarian in design. The structure of our skin, teeth, stomach and bowels, the length of our digestive system, the composition of our saliva, stomach acids and urine, etc. are all typically vegetarian. There is also a mountain of evidence proving that a meat-based diet contributes to a whole range of diseases. Many scientists now concede that fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains appear best suited to the human body. Finally, we know that we cannot subsist for long without food, and all food is matter that was once alive. But since we can subsist well and even thrive without meat, why take animal life in addition to the plant life we need to survive? Among certain spiritually oriented persons one will often hear this strange rationalization: "Sure, we eat meat", they say, "what of it"? What is most important is not what enters the stomach but what comes out of the mind! Although it is true that ridding oneself of one's delusions, breaking out of the prison of the ego-I into a life of sympathy with all sentient beings is paramount, how can we establish a sympathetic rapport with non-humans while we are feasting on them? "Do not cause pain to any creature, Go back to your Home with honour." (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, pg 322) Story of Bheesham Pitama In accordance to Hindu mythology, Draupadi asked the saint Sant Bheesham Pitama, why he had not come to her rescue when she was stripped of her clothing in Duryodans court. She queried him, saying that if he was a saint, why did he not raise his voice when evil was going on before his very eyes in Duryodanas court. He started to cry and said, Daughter, I shall tell you the truth; my mind became clouded by darkness as I had eaten in Duryodans house. Therefore, this shows how the love of God breaks away from a being as their mind becomes clouded by filth and prevents them from performing good deeds.

Gurbani uses this techniques too.The "Gurmukhi" composed by our second guru "Guru Angad dev ji" is written in such a format that a good language pronouncer will get the benifits of sound and vibration techniques automatically,many more techniques are included.The 31 raags included in Gurbani also have their own significance. Also in "Anand Sahib" path ,pauri 38 ,4th guru describes that god created doors of awakening in one's body.The air shows them when one practise.The 10th door remain closed and is found by the grace of a true master. Gurbani has much more secrets hidden in it.What we need is curosity and a pure mind and some hard working on it.

Guru sahib is watching ,he is the one who looks after all and his sikhi.So try to focus on your own goal,means your avastha.People will automatically get inspire when he wants.

The thing that Bijla Singh is trying to convey is that a person cannot be a "true" sikh if he is under the unnecessary attachments of maya.By getting baptised a homosexual totally contradicts the point of getting baptised. There are many relationships in Sikh history of 2 persons of same gender,that is of Guru and sikh.The relationship is not physically based but pure love based like of a son and father.

Japji sahib is not a bani to be read in night it should be recited only before the sun set and after midnight (i.e 12:30 a.m approx). You cannot reach satisfaction from our points,facts and stories.Hard work is necessary and by hard work i mean faith,patience,compassion and dicipline. There is a theory that there are 5 main realms (khand) which a human being goes through.Every obtained khand remain with him as he continues the joury. They are 1.Karam khand 2.dharam khand 3.gyan khand 4.saram khand 5.sach khand 1.Karam khand÷All people have this,they all sow the seeds of good and bad here and get them when crop is ripe.When a person does good deeds he is promoted to dharam khand.But as said he also have karam khand with him. 2.Dharam khand÷It is the place where he starts becoming religious.Follow the order of his guru with 100% faith and with rules and regulations. 3.Gyan khand÷After that comes gyan khand where guru gives necessary knowledge to the learner.Then the cover of illusion is teared from learners mind and reality is brought into focus.Due to his hard work he is gifted with the opening of third eye(divya drishti). 4.Saram khand÷The realm in which when one enters notices the reality.Angels,demons,heaven,hell etc can be seen by him. 5.Sach khand(The realm of TRUTH)÷Here we gets access to the place where the GOD recites. These all are the truths i have told you from my experience of learning from Gurbani's teachings.Any further questions can be answered in inbox.

No one told you that you are totally wrong.But research on history ,how the contents of banis,confusion of reciting 5,6or7 banis are made.There are many rumors that Akal takht members are in control of badal sarkar.Which also seems true in many casses. The fact i want to discuss is that do not believe anyone blindly ,only follow the hukumnamas given by Guru Gobind Singh ji via Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji.

First of all i would remind you that all religions are the way to meet god.All says the truth,it is the human mind which makes a religion rot by modifying its true values day by day. 1. For them the existance of god cannot be sure because they have not seen god.Buddha was a saint,he believed in the energy in our body which continouosly flow with the energy outside of our body.But there are limits to his knowledge as he was not totally enlighted. For example÷ When Guru Nanak dev ji was on his journey a quazi said that, u says there are many of many heavens and hells but in quran it is written that there are only 7 heavens and 7 hells . Although both were correct but Guru Nanak dev ji was talking about the whole universe in which there are many galaxies and each galaxy have 7 heavens and 7 hells. 2.Bani is the words of Guru so we call them "Gurbani".Without a guru no one had or will achieve god because guru is the only medium which gives us enlightment.Kirtan,naam simran ,katha all are forms of reciting Gurbani because all are composed of the words form Gurbani.For more understanding on this i recommend you any biography on life of a mahapurush for example "se kinehiya" which can also be found as english version on google. 3.Homosexuality can be seen as a result of our past life karams.Due to our bad habits and bad sexual life.More can also be explained by the means of Guru sakhis and biographies of mahapurushs. 4.Basically 90% of love marriages are the direct result of lust and immaturity etc.Chatting,watching movies and many more things as two teenagers in a relationship makes a huge impact on our spirituality too.Love marriage can be done but only the compatablity sholud be seen in the relation. Inter-faith marriages can be done if the another partner agrees to be a part of sikh family(i.e get baptised).If your partner belongs to other religion how can you both live together and be faithful to your own religion. 5.Surely he said that "there is no hindu,no muslim " because all the world was on a religion war that time saying that there religion is more superior.He has also stated that "a hindu should be true hindu and a muslim sholuld be true muslim"(they must deeply learn thier religion values and reasons).This type of knowledge cannot be gained just by reading internet blogs and sites.You must study a religion scripture very deeply(In Gurbani there are many correct explanations,teachings to 1 line ).For more information why Guru Gobind Singh ji made a religion,get the explanation of "Dasam Granth" from a well known sikh site. 6.There is almost 4 lakh years to happen it.....lol. No one knows what will happen.Try getting a very high avastha,open your third eye and see it yourself.
