No, it is you that is FULL OF RUBBISH. People that have the propensity to show off are the ones that are 'full of rubbish!' Knowledge makes us humble and not God. Stop fooling yourself. YOU ARE NOT GOD. You are too arrogant! So you believe everything you read, just because some Afghan or Mughal has had the opportunity to brainwash you. How ignorant can you get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not the one wasting your time. You are the one wasting your own time by responding to my post.

To believe that the Khalsa fauj solely depended on the tactics of dhai phat symbolizes how ignorant you must be.

Let me repeat myself again. The Khalsa fauj did not rely on this tactic only. They were very powerful souls who had done all the groundwork to gain spiritual strength by reciting the Dasam Banies as well as the Banis from the SGGS. They had faith in Waheguru. It is their faith which made them so invincible like spareribs has mentioned in his post. Their faith in the Guru, plus recitations of the Banis and fighting tactics is what made them inexpugnable to the enemy. This requires a lot of self discipline and determination. One has to be resolute in following this path and there are no two ways about it. One has to have unwavering qualities and mindset to pursue this path. It is not easy.

The Khalsa fauj were souls not embodied in 'physical cowards or seriously lazy' bodies but vice versa! They are the ones that teach us what can be achieved if we follow our Guru ji's teachings resolutely. They are our real ROLE MODELS. They teach us that we can achieve anything if we put our minds to it seriously and sincerely!

Sikhism is a path with involves both Miri and Piri. Sant and Sipahi. Those that claim to be sants are not sants unless they have balanced it out with shastara vidya. They have also to be sipahies. And no sipahi can claim to be a Guru ji's sipahi unless he is also a sant!! THIS IS KHALSA. Shastrara vidya is compulsory for everyone who follows the path of the mystics. There are plenty of good examples in old vedic literature where this has been demonstrated. One is not suppose to demonstrate one's riddhies and siddhies. That's the reason, Bhai Bhanda Singh Bahadur had to surrender to the Dasam Patshah to receive the Amrit.

Whenever the Akal Purakh orders his beloveds to appear on mother earth they have to accept a human body. Once they accept the human body, they are completely forbidden by the AP to use any miraculous powers to rescue themselves from hardships or suffering. We have very good example of Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji. They have to live like ordinary human beings and teach us how to cope with hardships and suffering on a human level. They come to this earth to teach us how to rise above our human conditioning. They are our Saviors. They don't display their shakti to get out of trouble. That's not why they are sent. They live their lives just like us, but they are way too above us. We can never reach their heights when it comes to what they are capable of doing. Jesus could have easily destroyed the whole of the Roman Empire to save himself from the Cross, but he didn't. Yet, he is Christ!! They live under the AP's Bana, Hukam and that's what they teach us too. Another example is Sri Ram Chander Ji.

There is NO substitute for FAITH. Although, there is such as theory known as 'mind over matter!' Spiritual paths strengthen our souls, our minds access spiritual (this) strength in the form of wisdom, physical strength, belief in the impossible and much more.

I would hardly refer to the Khalsa and its Father as a 'puppoo' if you don't mind using this term, please!! They are our role models and we can learn so much from them. We can learn to live in Waheguru's Hukam and Bana, to start with!

Paajji, the comments in your post have made me cry. My eyes are full of tears. You really seem to feel the dard, it's amazing!

Read up on what happened on the 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23rd of December in our history! It is to do with Anandpur Sahib Ji, Dasmesh Pita Ji and his entire family, his Singhs, Sirsa Nadi, Pariwaar Vishorra, battles of Chamkaur Sahib and Mukatsar. Also read up on Guru Ji's arrival at Machiwarra and Dina Nagar.

December is a very sad month for us. We are suppose to reflect deeply and somberly on the events that took place during this month. Don't forget to pray too.

Yes indeed! The month of December is full of 'dard' for those that care to spend quiet time in recollection. I would also add, reciting the 'Zafarnama' during this period. When our dear Guru ji vacated Ananpur Sahib together with his companions, Sarsa's tide was too high to provide a safe passage for them, so, lots of bad things followed.

But, it's everyone's personal choice how they want to spend this montth.

U gotta be kidding right? Ive been on record on this forum previously, stating how i and many many many others, esp here in the uk, cannot wait till these old fools hit their funeral pyres or r too old to run our gurdwaras! That day will be sweet, coz u just gotta look at who r the modern day masands? Its always those old haggered saggy secretly india supportin, saropa givin mugs who r sellin this panth of ours out. We have A LOT of problems, but thanks to the new generation of young sikhs/parcharaks, we r gona c more transparent gurdwaras, where pappu/flower power sikhs will be told to bugger off if they dont like that the panth is goin back to basics!

Though this thread was started in 2013, i think has a lot has changed in the sikh community, atleast here in uk anyways. For eg, basics of sikhi, will be opening a parcharak school, i mean y shud future wannabe parcharaks have to go back to panjab to get a sikhi schooling, y not here? Future is bright in my opinion, though the fruition wont be apparant till a few yrs, which is understandable.

I am so happy to read this. Let's hope we can portray a positive image of our religion to the world, which has been brainwashed into believing that there are only three religions in this world. All we hear is about their religions but nothing about our religion. We need more praschar.

Hope all will be sorted out soon.

wow i cant believe this

The following video has surfaced online showing

Shiromani Ragi Bhai Balbir Singh in feet of

Ashutosh Jha, the Noormehal cult pseudo-Guru.

https://www.sikh24.com/2015/08/22/shocking-video-of-world-renowned-ragi-bhai-balbir-singh-with-noormehal-pseudo-guru/

I have just watched this video and I can't believe my eyes.

Please, I urge you all to watch this video again and see what happens at 3.49 minutes. It shows someone is handing Bhai Balbir Singh some money in the form of notes which goes straight to his pocket! I think apples/some fruit is parshaad. I might be wrong but it looks like he was paid to do what he has done so they could make a video to sikhan nu barkaan vaste. I am so shocked at this. Corruption and corrupt people are so vile and cancerous they simply don't want to go away. They are like a malignancy. No radiation or chemotherapy treatment has the power to cure this malignancy!!

I have also been watching some videos of sikhs marrying muslims or others in the gurdwaras, on the youtube. I somehow don't think they are all real. They have been so well choreographed that even bollywood is no match to them. I think these videos are also work of those that are trying to decimate the sikh religion all over the world and not only in India. In fact, I have been studying these videos for their authenticity and I have my doubts. They are making these videos to mislead our youth. It's is not only our youth that needs to wake up, it is time for the whole quame to wake up now before it is too late.

I dread what is coming next!
