All these sevas not being doing by women is a direct result of a lack of resources for them to gain the right skills from. Apart from countries like Canada and the UK where still only few gursikhs have the opportunity to do santhiya and even fewer have the chance to learn to do katha, have a look in India how many deray or taksaals do you know of that teach women or encourage women to learn? The problem is that no singhni in India (also to some extent the West) is expected to or even encouraged to do santhiya, learn to read lareevaar, learn to do katha, do maharaj's seva...

The shortfall is at the initial level, there are only a few mahapurakh like Baba Jagjit Singh ji that I know encourage women to learn brahm vidiya but otherwise I know of few other places women can go to essentially become "gianis".

Quite sad

It also states that in this link:

http://indiatoday.in...n/1/172707.html

It's a fact, it's well known that Yuvraj Singh goes to see Baba ji alongside Harbhajan Singh

Sant Baba Ajit Singh ji from Hansali are mahapurakh with an extremely high avastha in fact I've heard from some mahapurakh that they are the most "paunche hoe" mahapurakh still around. This stupid man on the video has no clue, and it's maharaj who has kept him in ignorance. Baba Ajit Singh ji is nothing less than God, maharaj says "Har harjan due ek hai, bib bichaar kasch naahi" this truely applies to baba jee. In reply to ur post Simran345, if baba ji were to give bachan in regards to disease they would be the same as Guru sahib's. I know that I would, maharaj di kirpa naal, follow their bachan without question even if it were a life or death decision.

For those of you who may not know when Baba Thakur Singh ji was about to go to Sachkhand sangat asked mahapurakh which mahapurakh they could now go to and have darshan of, amongst the names Baba Ajit Singh ji was mentioned.

These people commenting on these videos really don't understand the extent to which they are ruining their lives by doing nindiya of such uch kotee de mahapurakh.

If it was me I would do ardaas they they burn in kumbi narak for the rest of eternity but I know that mahapurakh wouldn't want that so we can only do ardaas that Maharaj removes the veil of ignorance he's put in front of them to allow them to also fall in love with such Guru piaare.

Baba ji = God no joke

I believe it was Bhai Gurdas ji who said this that if a sikh requires something or is in some sort of a problem then they should do 5 japji sahibs at amritvela.

Best way to reach there? Rail/air from Punjab?

If you wish to retain any sort of sucham lol then air

Yes its is possible to astral project to both Sachkhand and Harimandir Sahib. God however is different as that is your natural form, i.e. the realisation of the lack of your own existence and understanding that the sole entity that exists is maharaj will lead you to see/expereience maharaj everywhere.

where does he belive mool mantr goes upto ???

Til Nanak hosee bhee sach.

difference is one is a actual sant other is not

lol surely paji you would need to be at that avastha of Sant Baba Jagjit Singh ji to know if they were a sant or not or if Baba Bishan Singh ji was, I think you should go have their sangat just once.. if you're in the UK PM me :biggrin2:

Boy you guys are so stupid, you can't even see who your father is. That's why we don't have Khalsa raj....I suggest you listen to a really Sants katha Sant Jarnail Singh jee, dasam katha who teaches gurmat and not some snatan mat.....wake up and become GURUS KHALSA again!

Penji that is a really stupid thing to say as baba ji comes from nirmalay samparda just like Sant baba Bishan Singh ji of Taksaal.

If mahapurakh give you bachan, see those bachan as lifelong you should kamaa those bachan with the intention to read them forever.

Wjkk wjkfateh

Its sad but the lack of response says it all. :unsure2:

Wjkk wjkfateh

Although I'm not averse to the above suggestions, I would say that sometimes it's good to recognise that these reactions stem from ego. If you believed yourself to be truly nothing then you wouldn't be offended by such remarks. When you see maharaj in everyone if he says something impolite to you then it makes no difference, it's essentially him talking to himself. It's weird but its true, I'm not saying you have to be like this right now, but one day aim towards being like that. Like when Bhagat Kabeer ji sat on a horse with what looked like a prostitiute and alcohol in his hand, most of his town slandered him, bhagat kabeer ji did this to deter people from worshipping him, but also showed us that as a gursikh we should adopt a policy of

"Nindo nindo mo ko log nindo, ninda jan ko kharee piaree..."

-Slander me, slander me - go ahead, people, and slander me. Slander is pleasing to the Lord's humble servant.

As ustat (praise) is probably much worse than being slandered, being slandered reduces your ego whilst praise only elevates it

thanks

any more maryadas?

I believe you have to do the aramb and bhog of sehaj paath from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji maharaj

With all due respect bhaji, you have probably never worn a chunni (I hope not anyway ) so you may not fully understand why so many of us choose to wear chunnia over our dastaars

All I'm going to say is that a chunni provides a little more modesty than usual which is unfortunately required these days. It can be worn "khilaar keh" a bit like a shawl which keep us covered up and makes me personally feel a lot more comfortable.

lol I understand penji it's your own choice but at times it's quite important to see the practicality of things, modesty etc. is very limited to this body, it's jsut a piece of cloth and yet people put so much emphasis on clothing or even modesty. I'm not saying that one should walk around to attract others attention but at the same time one shouldn't feel like they have to compromise practicality and basic living in order to follow what is really culture.

lol what makes you think I'm a Singh? :sleep: :happy:

I agree that singhnia need to start wearing dastaars not patke or chunnia, Guru Arjan Dev ji maharaj wrote Baavan Akhree for Mata Ganga ji and told them to wear a dastaar, it's also important for us.

Chunnia = impractical and unnecessary as your head's already covered

Rog and dukh are the expression of karam from our past lives. The more kamaee you do the more karam you will remove, tell this singh to see mahapurakh if he is finding this very difficult they act as like catalysts. If you do the same amount of kamaee but mahapurakh have given you hukam to do so its value is not just worth the kamaee its now also worth the phal (fruit) for obeying the instructions of a saint. PM me if you need more info.

Even though it sounds cliche and stupid, I think you should do whatever you are passionate about. Not what is easy or what you are good at, but what you are passionate about. I truly believe that in the long run you will do just fine if you go down this path. I would also try to do something difficult, something that most people are not good at (ie: engineering, science, med) because not only is it more rewarding on a personal level it will also usually translate to a higher paying job in the long run. If you do an "easier" field you will have to do extraordinarily well in it in order to be ok financially. In my first go round I went finance because it was extremely lucrative at the time, and then the bottom fell out and it ended up not being a great field (although I did luck out with a good job). So if you pick something for the money right now, it could very easily change.

If you are interested in being a mom first and a career person second, I would certainly not recommend medicine and absolutely not recommend surgery. I think pharmacist (my wife is a pharmacist) have an excellent work/life balance, at least if you make an effort to make it that way.

If you are very good and passionate about what you do, you will be fine. I know a girl who dropped out of pharm school to be a makeup artist, now she makes wwwwaayyy more money than she would have as a pharmacist.

I hope you got something out of this ramble... i am cramming for finals and not in the best state of mind. :-)

God Bless,

lol i would, to the final yr med student, there are gynacologists/surgeons in india that have attained v high avastha (they have sangat of mahapurakh i no) it's perfectly fine to do hard graft in terms of ur career... and they're women

Become a doctor, maybe a surgeon it's a shame only 7% of all surgeons are female. :D

As a fellow "western-blotter" I can sympathise with the constant micro pipetting :rolleyes:

On the other side I wouldn't matter too mcuh about stuff in your ingredients, yes by all means try your hardest but I assure you, you won't be able to eat within rehit (i.e. no animal products) unless you keep some sort of bibek like making your own food and not eating from shops.

On the taksali side of life, if you feel that way about your amrit sanchaar then you should go to panj pyaare and consult them, although it doesn't necessarily have to be a taksali amrit sanchaar just one where pooran nitnem is read. Saying that I've heard that Leicester amrit sanchaars are taksali-fied.

LOL at this thread... to the original poster I think you should do what you think is right for yourself... the only reason I said what I did was that's what my panj pyaare told me and several mahapurakh like Sant Baba Jagjit Singh ji who travel quite often by aeroplane do the same... it's up to you.. it's no big deal but the whole causing yourself pain thing... once you detach youself from this body i.e. you realise that it is only the vessel then you can live in a bhora (cave type dwelling) for 40 days without food like Sant Baba Attar Singh ji I assure you I feel no "pain" by not eating a few hours and nor do I do this ritually rather it's part of my discipline, I would do this for any of my kakkar if they became detached from my body - this is the rehit given by Guru Gobind Singh ji maharaj

I'm not saying you're wrong penji above I think you just hav to realise that in Sikhi there are many ways to answer the same question as long as you know why you're doing it, it's fine

Buy dell iCore i5 processor or higher...

Maybe the new XPS or an Inspiron

AMD processors are just as good but cheaper

Okay let's look at what you just said. I'm not going to ask for which Saint said it or ask of the katha, but if you can provide this katha, I really want to listen to it. This story which you provide still does not equate to what the monk did. What the monk did is clearly suicide, where he had the intention to take his own life and no one else was forcing him to do it, against his own will. The events before Guru Sahib shaheedi explains Guru Sahib fulfilled his duty, whether the sword took his head or not. Guru Sahib presented a solution to the problem and the Muslim rulers accepted it; a King's head to save Hindus from being killed. Say for example Guru Sahib had taken his head off without even letting the Muslim rulers servant apply the force of the sword to his head and try to cut it off, then it could be said the act was suicide, (the intention to take his own life). Guru Sahib didn`t wait for the Muslim ruler to give his finally orders and he decide to do what he choose, which is suicide. This is strongly against Sikhi. But this is not true (just used to show the difference). The servant of the Muslim ruler applied the force and had every intention to cut the head off of Guru Sahib. And Guru Sahib knew no matter how hard the guy tries, his head would not have been cut off. This will leave an agreement he made with the Muslim rulers not fulfilled. Regardless, on how the head was removed from the body, the act of force was there and because of this force that was applied, the act in itself is not suicide or equal to what the monk did. Sri Waheguru ji's Hukam was being fulfilled in the Ninth form.

Now look at the monks act. The monk planned to burn himself alive. He planned to get his disciple to pour the gasoline over him. He sat there at his own will with the intention to take his own life, without any force. He completely knew that he was taking his own life. No one pushed/applied force/ against his mind(will) to burn him. He decided on his own that I will take my life. Show me where in Gurbani it says any human can take their life for any reason. Gurbani repeats many times to us that, the body and soul is Sri Waheguru ji and we must obey the Hukam of his command, by letting Sri Waheguru ji take the soul at his command. The reason why the monk took his life is irrelevant to the act of burning himself alive. The Hukam of Sri Waheguru ji to take the soul when he commands is higher than the reason. We read in Sri Japji Sahib his command is the highest of all. Now why are people making that same Hukam lower than a reason? Let death come to you and not the other way around, where you force death upon yourself.

We know Sri Waheguru ji, himself came in the form as the first Nanak to the tenth Nanak, but still, we want to question our Guru`s actions and then equate them to a monks obvious suicide. Sri Waheguru ji in the Satguru`s form showed us how to act according to his Hukam. Gurbani is Sri Waheguru ji's Hukam and we need to follow it.

If Bhai Gurmukh Singh ji jumped onto the fire, then that is called suicide. And Sikhi strongly condemns taking your own life for any reason. If someone forces their mind(will) on you and life is taken then that is not suicide or against Gurmat. To deprive another from life is not the victims fault, but to deprive yourself of life at the mind's will is the victims fault and Sikhi does not agree with it. Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji Maharaj said the rehat is more dear (meaning i love the rehat more) to me than the Sikh. Bhai Gurmukh Singh ji should have followed this teaching of Satguru. I'm not taking anything away from Bhai Gurmukh Singh ji, but it's Satguru's teaching.

lol you're right in many ways, but the beauty in sikhi is that it's very subjective, you can b right and so could someone disagreeing with you and yet both things can co-exist although as a paradoxic... Sorry if I make no sense it's just that it's funny that this all can't be understood with our logic and yet I'm trying to (which is kinda pointless lol)
