Wjkk Wjkkf Bhenji Agreed the truth is not confined to a certain religion and it is within us all! But only Satguru Ji can reavel this truth within us..... ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ The key is in the hands of the True Guru; no one else can open this door. By perfect destiny, He is met. ||7|| Dhan is our Guru! Dhan Dhan Dhan!

Guru sahib has no hate to anyone and due to this his gursikhs shouldnt have hate towards anyone. When it comes down to it the girl can do whatever she wants, however I have come across uncountable cases like this someone comes along, shows a little bit of attention to the girl, spoiles her with gifts to win her over. Next thing you know the girl is either on drugs getting pimped out or been flown out to Pakistan. I have perosnally witnessed pakistani males wearing a kara, going by a sikh name to pull our girls. The reason why so many advise against these relationships is because they have seen first hand the outcomes. They are not good.

Wjkk Wjkf Pyaario Could i ask what you guys what you think a chaur sahib's purpose is? From the above post about electrical fans it seems as if the purpose is to keep flies etc away. From what understanding daas has the purpose of a chaur sahib is to signify Guru Ji's royality and king of kings status. From the little seva Guru Ji has taken from this ant of doing chaur sahib seva it was done for satkar and to uphold the royalty of my king. Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee

Samosa Singh Ji, I have heard that the purpose of lighting a jot was due to practicality - if there light went out or in times were there was no electricity the gurbani reader could still carry on gurbani path without disturbance. ਨਾਮੁ ਤੇਰੋ ਆਸਨੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਤੇਰੋ ਉਰਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਕੇਸਰੋ ਲੇ ਛਿਟਕਾਰੇ ॥ਨਾਮੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਅੰਭੁਲਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਤੇਰੋ ਚੰਦਨੋ ਘਸਿ ਜਪੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਲੇ ਤੁਝਹਿ ਕਉ ਚਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ਨਾਮੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਦੀਵਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਤੇਰੋ ਬਾਤੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਤੇਰੋ ਤੇਲੁ ਲੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਪਸਾਰੇ ॥ਨਾਮ ਤੇਰੇ ਕੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਲਗਾਈ ਭਇਓ ਉਜਿਆਰੋ ਭਵਨ ਸਗਲਾਰੇ ॥੨॥ If we read above Guru sahib is saying everything for a Gursikh is naam and it's with naam we have to light the jot inside.

Singh - I am not going to justify his action but we havent been told the full story on this. But take into account what may have forced him to use his kirpan? What would drive someone to do that? I've been reading through all comments here and everyone seems to be tearing this singh apart for using a kirpan. Let me give you all a reality check, a kirpan is a shaster not an "article of faith". I will give you a sceniro, what would you do if someone broke into your house with the intention of hurting your family? I dont know about anyone of you but that khanda on the side of bed is coming out with the intention of destruction lol.

No need to do any doubt on this - read however much gurbani you can with pyaar, this is the most important thing. Doing path in car, walking is not beadbi, just make sure you've cleaned hands just before reading and its fine. Beadbi occurs when we dont listen to guru jis message.

How do you tie your dastaar? Make sure there are no knots in your keski or dastar as this can cause headaches. When my dastar is too tight i normally use a sly to realese some pressure lol. Your dastar wont be affecting your vision like that though - definatly migranes and the eyes going funny is probabaly something called aura which occurs during migranes. Look at your lifestyle, diet etc. You drinking enough water and eating fruit and veg?

Young Singh - One peice of advice for you and it will take your staright to the truth. Read about the lives of the leaders of both faiths and which ever side you feel is "better" follow that. Subtle hint for you - i have yet to come across anyone in this world who has given their head for another persons beleif even though they 100% do not agree with it, Dhan Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib! We have all forgotton the value of Gurshabad as we dont realise it's worth! We have diamonds and rubies sitting in the palm of our hands but the biggest problem is we have forgotton it's worth. Gurbani takes one to where it orginated i.e Sachkhand.

Big_Tera I dont thinkyou have worded this post in the best way....interacial marriage could mean anand karaj between an apna and gorah/kala/alien but if both are Gursikhs it shouldnt even been discussed as an issue. Kal taaran guru nanak aaiya, guru sahib came to liberate the world not just punjabis. The problem occurs When we see people trying to have an anand karaj that are not Sikhs and dont beleive in Guru Granth Sahib Ji as being their eternal Guru and these weddings are nothing more than tamasha and for this we have to look at our own gurdwara commitees.

First image that came into my mind after reading Sparkhill was Mr Khan All Singhs and Kaurs should do some form of martial arts...we call oursevles sipahis but the majority of us would slip a disk after throwing a few punches!

I've been listening to this kirtan track whilst working - waheguru. Uplifting

Using milk is a tradition from puratan times that is still being carried on. Milk is also considered pavitar. Floor of harmandar sahib is also cleaned daily with milk - seems likle this maryada has carried on from Guru ji's times.

(188) Kabeer, to use force is tyranny, even if you call it legal. When your account is called for in the Court of the Lord, what will your condition be then? (187) Kabeer, the dinner of beans and rice is excellent, if it is flavored with salt. Who would cut his throat, to have meat with his bread? (188) I wouldnt cut mine, would any of you?

I wonder how many anti cow £5 noters would make a U turn on their stance if all employers started paying with new £5 notes cash in hand! Animal rights will go out the window . Waheguru!

Big choice coming up soon, pizza or aloo wale parothe with plenty of butter for lunch Vand ke chakko applys on everything in life.....apart from dhaniya wala pizza lol!

We should support our own Singh's opening restaurants - got to be better than giivng all your money to some <banned word filter activated> chicken shop . On a side note i could do with a dhaniya pizza right now.....

WJKK WJKF ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਤੀ ਗਣਤ ਜਿ ਰਖੈ ਹਲਤੁ ਪਲਤੁ ਸਭੁ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਗਇਆ॥ One who enters into a calculated relationship with the True Guru loses everything, this world and the next Not all about the counting, we all need to ready gurbani and take the message deep inside of us which is the hard part! I've tried counting and you end of just focusing on the number rather than the bani and i dont know about any of you guys but it increased my hankaar meter to the red zone if though i hadnt done much path! Its good to have targets but the aim should be to exceed these everyday day and not just stop at them! Going slighlty of topic - a singh once told me its easy to sit in a kirtan programme for hours or read a lot of gurbani when the mind is yearing guru shabad, however guru's counter starts when you dont want to sit in kirtan and dont want to do path. That's when we have to battle our mind and force ourselves to do it!

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh, Sangat jee everyone share the bania and shabads which affect you guys the most and why? Let's start disucssing the greatness of Gurbani! _/\_

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh Bhenji the worst hell for a sikh should be living without his Guru. Look at the below shabad to see the love of Guru Raamdas Ji Maharajh: ਝਖੜੁ ਝਾਗੀ ਮੀਹੁ ਵਰਸੈ ਭੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਦੇਖਣ ਜਾਈ ॥੧੩॥ Even in violent storms and torrential rain, I go out to catch a glimpse of my Guru. ||13|| ਸਮੁੰਦੁ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਬਹੁ ਖਾਰਾ ਗੁਰਸਿਖੁ ਲੰਘਿ ਗੁਰ ਪਹਿ ਜਾਈ ॥੧੪॥ Even though the oceans and the salty seas are very vast, the GurSikh will cross over it to get to his Guru. ||14|| ਜਿਉ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਜਲ ਬਿਨੁ ਹੈ ਮਰਤਾ ਤਿਉ ਸਿਖੁ ਗੁਰ ਬਿਨੁ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਈ ॥੧੫॥ Just as the mortal dies without water, so does the Sikh die without the Guru. ||15|| ਜਿਉ ਧਰਤੀ ਸੋਭ ਕਰੇ ਜਲੁ ਬਰਸੈ ਤਿਉ ਸਿਖੁ ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿ ਬਿਗਸਾਈ ॥੧੬॥ Just as the earth looks beautiful when the rain falls, so does the Sikh blossom forth meeting the Guru. ||16|| ਸੇਵਕ ਕਾ ਹੋਇ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਵਰਤਾ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਬਿਨਉ ਬੁਲਾਈ ॥੧੭॥ I long to be the servant of Your servants; I call upon You reverently in prayer. ||17|| ਨਾਨਕ ਕੀ ਬੇਨੰਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਪਹਿ ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈ ॥੧੮॥ Nanak offers this prayer to the Lord, that he may meet the Guru, and find peace. ||18| and: ਰਾਜੁ ਨ ਚਾਹਉ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਚਾਹਉ ਮਨਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲਾਰੇ॥ I do not seek power, and I do not seek liberation. My mind is in love with Your Lotus Feet. This is the pyaar we should want and do ardas daily for Guru Sahib! If we have this love in our mind then hell is a place away from Guru Ji's feet. Once we starting reading bani and doing simran and grabe a hold of Guru's feet do you think he will ever let us fall into hell? Look at out puratan shaheed singhs like Bhai Taru Singh and Bhai Mani Singh - they gave their life for Guru Ji! Anyone who scares you about going to hell is trying to trick you into following their faith. If we go by the logic in your post above it would mean Sikhs like Baba Deep singh and Bhai Gurdas Ji are going to hell! Is this even possible? Look deep inside of you and you will see Guru Sahib sitting there. Sangat ji forgive this dog for anything wrong i've said. _/\_

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਏਹੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਹੈ ਗਿਆਨਿ ਰਤਨਿ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਹੋਇ ॥: This body is the "Harmandir" (Hari's Temple, but this secret) is revealed by the Jewel of the Divine Wisdom (ang1346). Guru ji says we can make our body into a gurdwara by putting simran and gurbani into it.

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh! Diamonds are found deep within in the earth's mantle - a lot of effect is required to reach them. Same thing with sikhi. Im still digging.......
