Maya can be good or bad. Maya is illusion which keeps the world asleep and enslaved, which is bad. But its also God as well, As God is the ultimate illusionist as well, since he also fools the world when he wishes. Not sure if its a good name for a child though. The context is vital guys, 1 word can have multiple meanings so the context determines the arth. E.G - Kaal can mean death, time etc and so on. Anyone know any Puratan Singhs or Singhnis by its name? I know certain names were avoided at the time, was this one of them?

Iv asked you to show me it from 18/19th century sources. I'm sure you can mange that, I've not made any assertations here about what Sikhi promotes, you have so back it up. You whine about wanting evidence from others so follow your own wants, I wait with eager breath of your your sources, your own hand drawn translations abd so on. How would you know what it promotes. You can't even read the source material so who told you it did? ?

You can't even read Gurbani you dolt. How would you know what it says or what it propagates? Let me guess. You read a book by some guy, who heard it from some guy and you decided it was the truth. So please provide evidence from 18th/19th Century sources to back up your assertions. Thank you.

It's said in every Rehitnama around not to even touch a single hair for the purpose of removing it, its said again and again in all contemporary sikh sources. All Sikhs are meant to keep their kesh and never cut it in any form. The Rehitnamas are from the Mukhvak of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Idol worshippers of any form in any religion are called fools. Guru Nanak Dev Ji said he wasn't a Hindu, he also called Hindus as being blind to the divine. He also criticised their rituals, their way of life and even their Devtas. No one's forcing anyone to do anything, but don't shove other religions rites into Sikhi. You can't be called a sikh if you're purposely violating every tenant of it. More nonsense. Guru Sahib told Sikhs to be always prepared for battle, Do you know the future? You're walking down an alleyway and somoene tries to mug you, what will you do? hug them to death? beg? That's why you need to be prepared for any situation. Sikh laws cant be changed, no Sikh would dare change them as they were ordained by the Gurus. No Muslim i know would change their laws, maybe read a bit more before making all these claims. The Scalp doesn't need air, pick up a science book once in a while, hair follicles there produce the hair to PROTECT the scalp from the sun, what a load of tosh to say it needs to be aired. The number of hair diseases that can occur (and most of them are really uncommon) pale in comparisons to ones without it. If you're that worried about pollution then move. Good, then follow your advice. Just don't come here and tell Sikhs that Guru Nanak Dev Ji never said Sikhs should keep hairs, or it was ok to trim them. They said the exact opposite.

Muslims. You're a disgrace, how dare you post Islamophobic content here, how dare you oppress the poor minority who suffered so much at the hands of others throughout history (!)

yeah sorry for that penji, I'm an idiot. I was in the midst of doing some maths calculations, i had to use them a-lot so i was in that zone.

Penji that's exactly what I said. the (<) refers to their lifelines, hence why Maya doesn't have a less than symbol. In terms of age and how long they will live, Maya will grossly outlive Vishnu, but he'll outlive Shiva and so on. Another one leaves and has his place taken by another and so on.

That was the issue to begin with, I had heard this but I could never find the source to it. Which made it controversial to some people.

God through Gurbani & Science. The writer of the book has done a-lot of research and almost all of writing within the book reference Brahmgyanis, scholars and other mahapurkhs as the source of what he put down. If there's anything in particular you want to read I an upload it here, I really don't mind. Or message me and I'll send you it. The hierarchy is something like Indra<Brahma<Shiva<Vishnu<Maya As one passes another takes his place, same for the other trinity. Guru Ji wanted us to worship the Supreme Lord, not the Devtas. I'm speculating here (as I could never hope to understand what Akaal Purkh Saroop Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj was thinking) but if these secrets were all released at the time then there was nothing stopping the Hindus just worshipping a respected Sahibzaade to continue Devta pooja. The universe is so mysterious and vast, heck if you read other scriptures there's interesting details about why certain avatars of Vishnu had to take birth through the womb. These facts are omitted from other texts. Probably the ones that are contained to our brahmand (Galaxy) since each region has its own trinity. Again im just speculating. You dont need to tell me that penji the main issue arises when everyone tries to link Sikhi into everything, rather than treating it like a full picture they see it as a jigsaw.

took me a while but I found the book and the passage. Just remember that within Kaal Purkh (the lord) there are millions upon millions of Vishnus, Shivas, Brahmas, Indras and so on.

There's millions of devtas around, This was part of a book I read a while ago, I had it lying around so i'll dig it up and upload the extract here.

I saw something like this on Sikhawareness too, can someone provide sources? Though devtas taking birth into Sikh households isn't a new phenomenon, there's several records to it happening due to the Devtas desire to attain Waheguru too.

I don't think you realise that I'm not OP, but then again you wet yourself because someone called you a mean name. Sit down child, the grown ups are talking. I don't fear the dark, but you have already confessed to fearing some little mean words. All you've shown here is you can't read, you're a big baby and you have the intelligence level of a teaspoon. You can continue shouting at yourself, you're nothing more than a snivelling rat.

At-least i dont wet myself when someone says a small mean thing to me, You're ridiculing OP yet you're 10x worse. Boho someone said something mean to me and I couldn't handle it . I never even said im afraid of horror movies loool..thank you for showing everyone you have the comprehensive skills of a small child. If you want I'm sure your local primary school will be happy to provide you with some books to better educate your clear lack of proper people and English skills. If anyone wants a good laugh at how weak and whiney this dude is, please read this.

Why are you being so snarky? we all have our demons and fears. Last I checked you came on here and cried because you felt you were being harassed at work. Rather than face it like a man you ran away like a girl.

hahahahaa bro why are you watching horror movies at night if you can't handle it, Just relax. No evil spirit made of plastic is goiing to attack you. If you're that concerned do Sohila Sahib, or if you feel you're not alone tell the ghosts "Leave me alone or ill use chandi to blast you lot out of here"

This is shocking to hear but breaking news guys, I bet the moderators have lives too. I'm sure Singh Bhaji and his mod team are working as hard as they can but they have their own lives to contend to as well.

no worries read into it, Guru Sahib is everywhere but he protects his own (his true Bhagats) he saved Prahlad Ji's honour from his own father and Bhagat Namdev Ji and countless examples.

it means Guru Sahib is with you, and all around you. Were you feeling a bit forsaken as of late? maybe from family members or in general?

Take Singh as your name, like asap. IF you change your name to Singh then by the decrees of the Akaal Takhat you are a sikh (along with believing in amrit and the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji) , ignoring the whole "definition of a sikh" shtick for a minute here I think you've come a long way based on what you said. I think there is deep rooted predjuices within the Sikh community against blacks in general, seeing a white sikh is rare for asians but a black sikh is like finding an iphone in the stone age. Take it slow firstly, show her dad how immersed in sikhi you are. Learn about the religion and then impress her father with it, become a Nitnemi Sikh man.

One thing to remember is you're only as strong as your weakest links (qualities), avoid bad company but at the same time don't avoid all company. Make friends, forge bonds and don't be antisocial, that just attracts even more attention/weirdness about you. Be friendly to everyone but at the same time don't be a pushover.

I'm pretty sure starving yourself will bring alot of good luck to your family. Sukhmani Sahib is clear on these kind of rituals, Astpadhi 4 says that rituals will never rid you of the inner filth.

preach brother.

Certain banis have certain effects on the human psyches, why do you think Singhs read Chandi di Var before war and not Sukhmani Sahib? All bani is equally important but their effects are drastically different depending on the source you take it from.

Was he the dude that got attacked verbally by some woman calling him a muslim during a live debate?
