  2. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Although I don't agree with homosexuality, he does make a point that as Khalse we should stand up against oppression. So the main thing is that we shouldn't practice homosexuality but if someone else does we shouldn't hate them. I don't think gay Anand Kaaraj will ever happen. It's clearly against Rehit Maryada and you can see that everyday people are coming into Sikhi and learning more and more especially the younger generation from Basics of Sikhi and all the other seva organisations so they are more aware about these topics and understand how to deal with them. However we should have more of these worldly discussions in the Gurdwara too so all Sangat what the Gurmat Perspective is. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
  3. ।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ। ਸੁਣੀਪੁਕਾਰਿਦਾਤਾਰਪ੍ਰਭੁਗੁਰੁਨਾਨਕਜਗਮਾਹਿਪਠਾਇਆ। The benefactor Lord listened to the cries (of humanity) and sent Guru Nanak to this world. Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaaj also says they were sent by Vaheguru ji ਅਕਾਲਪੁਰਖਬਾਚ॥ The Word of the Non-Temporal Lord: ਚੌਪਈ॥ CHAUPAI ਮੈਅਪਨਾਸੁਤਤੋਹਿਨਿਵਾਜਾ॥ਪੰਥਪ੍ਰਚੁਰਕਰਬੇਕਹੁਸਾਜਾ॥ I have adopted you as my son and hath created you for the propagation of the path (Panth). ਜਾਹਿਤਹਾਂਤੈਧਰਮੁਚਲਾਇ॥ਕਬੁਧਿਕਰਨਤੇਲੋਕਹਟਾਇ॥੨੯॥ “You go therefore for the spread of Dharma (righteousness) and cause people to retrace their steps from evil actions”.29. So it's clear that Guru Sahibaan were not just random people but enlightened beings that were one with God and sent by God themselves. Going back to the question, it is both Guru Sahib's path (not random though) and Divine because Vaheguru has blessed us with it. Dhan Guru Ramdas ji Maharaaj also states: ਸਤਿਗੁਰਕੀਬਾਣੀਸਤਿਸਤਿਕਰਿਜਾਣਹੁਗੁਰਸਿਖਹੁਹਰਿਕਰਤਾਆਪਿਮੁਹਹੁਕਢਾਏ॥ O GurSikhs, know that the Bani, the Word of the True Guru, is true, absolutely true. The Creator Lord Himself causes the Guru to chant it. ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾਅਕਾਲਪੁਰਖਕੀਫ਼ੌਜ॥ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਓਖ਼ਾਲਸਾਪ੍ਰਮਾਤਮਕੀਮੌਜ॥ The final line shows that the Khalsa (meaning Nirmal/pure like in Nanak Nirmal Panth Chalaieya) was created by Vaheguru Ji's Happiness. ।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ।
  4. ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ।। Bhai Sahib, Who is more powerful, Dhan Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaaj or this Sant? Obviously Dhan Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaaj. So why pray to some other Sant. Mahapurakhs don't allow people to pray to them but pray with you to Almighty Waheguru ji. Also Waheguru ji is Ajooni. He doesn't take birth so how can the Sant be God. He has the light of Waheguru ji inside us like everyone but is not the almighty creator in Sach Khand. And the caste system is not in Sikhi at all. Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji abolished the caste system and no Sant should ever use it because it discriminates against people. Maharaaj in their beautiful Bani have said that they have made all 4 castes into one. Maharaaj also says that the lowest of the low are the ones he loves the most. So why would the Sant go directly against Sikhi. You should stop praying to this Sant and pray to Guru Sahib. This does not mean that you have to leave the Sadhu. You can still do Kirtan with him, read Gurbani with him but you should also tell him that what he is doing is wrong. ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ।।

This science researcher with American educational background was working in India when in 2001, he was diagnosed suffering from bone cancer and doctors soon pronounced defeat at finding a cure for him. The story below is written by Mr Bhardwaj:When recitation of Gurbani cured me of deadly cancer, I experienced God.SGGS Page 1096 Full Shabadਜਾ ਤੂ ਮੇਰੈ ਵਲਿ ਹੈ ਤਾ ਕਿਆ ਮੁਹਛੰਦਾ ॥jaa thoo maerai val hai thaa kiaa muhashha(n)dhaaWhen You are on my side, Lord, why should I worry?If God is with me, who can harm me?: Not even the deadliest disease of cancer can take my life away and that is exactly the divinely inspiring message of the truly miraculous story of my victorious battle against bone cancer which was medically diagnosed to be multiple melanomas.It was the continuous recitation of Gurbani that not only cured me of bone cancer that had already destroyed most of my bones in my skeleton, but also shattered my will to live. The blessings of Guru Granth Sahib not only triggered and accelerated the processes of complete and total cure in my body, but the Guru also enabled me to experience God. This also inspired me to pursue Naam therapy to totally and permanently get rid of otherwise fatal bone cancer.Can Shabad-Kirtan and faithful recitation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib save me from fatal clutches of cancer?Contents [hide]1 Can such a miracle happen?2 News coverage2.1 The Tribune3 External LinksCan such a miracle happen? These were the questions that repeatedly crossed my mind and also dominated my dreams. Initially, I dismissed such ideas and being a science researcher with American educational background, I did not even believe in the existence of god. I have always been taught by my American scientists, teachers and professors that our life and the universe are governed by the irrefutable and irreversible laws of science and that God was nothing but a 'concept' or an illusion invented by timid and non-scientific minds. Hence, I have never been to any place of worship and also never prayed. But not anymore.Medical HistoryIt was April 27th 2002 when three different teams of oncologists and haematologists from Mumbai, Surat and Ahmedabad presented me with the unanimous medical investigation reports based on their repeatedly unanimous findings, they passed their judgment with one voice that my life is going to end in a few days as the deadly cancer called multiple melanomas has ruined most of my bones that are functionally vital for my survival. On April 29th 2002, I had completed three and half years of painful life as a terminally bed-ridden cancer patient. I was slowly dying of cancer. The bony structures of my right ear had been eaten away by bone cancer that gave me total deafness in my right ear. Repeated audio graphs done by several E.N.T. surgeons proved beyond doubt that the decibel loss was irreversible and so immense that Dr. A.B.R. Desai in Mumbai, who is reputed to be the final authority on E.N.T. ailments, told me that there was something very tragically wrong with the bones in my right year and after trying several treatments, Dr. Desai told me that he has no medicine for my ailment and that I will never be able to hear with my right ear. The reputed E.N.T. surgeon Dr. Farida Wadia of civil hospital was of the opinion that if the loss of hearing in the right year was not due to nerve deafness and was really a symptomatic manifestation of some un-diagnosed ailment then the hearing will return after that un-diagnosed ailment is cured. Is she blessed with 6th, 7th and 8th sense? I guess say so because that is exactly how the events ran their course.Medical Prognosis PoorDr. Farida Wadia was also using her imagination like telescope in time and exactly predicting things which were yet to come. Later, it was Dr. Kiran Shah, the senior most reputed oncologist haematologist in Surat who himself performed bone marrow analysis and gave me the shocking news that I am not only suffering from bone cancer called multiple melanomas but the cancer has already destroyed much my vital bones. As per his advise, electrophoresis of the blood and MRI - [magnetic resonance imaging] - of brain and skull as well as CT-Scan were also done at Mahavir General Hospital which confirmed beyond doubt that I am slowly but surely dying of bone cancer. I had been loosing appetite and had developed dislike for food. [Anorexia nervosa] in between, I had also suffered from tumour on the right side of my head which gave me excruciating headache and giddiness. I lost orientation and would fall after walking for 30 seconds. As soon as cancer was diagnosed, I was immediately admitted to government civil hospital. There they administered six chemotherapy sessions – one every 28th day. This further destroyed my appetite and all the hair on my head and body were gone. I suffered these agonies for more than three and half years when on April 27th 2002, three teams of doctors and oncologists advised me that I should prepare my will as I had only a few days left.Beginning of the MiracleNow, this was the phase when the divine miracle began to take shape. It was Sardar Kesar Singh, the owner of reputed " Kwality Group of Hotels and Restaurants" in Surat and his son Sardar Manjeet Singh, who suggested to me that I should undertake a pilgrimage to the holy Golden Temple at Amritsar and offer Akhand Path and Ardas with complete faith and total devotion and pray before Sri Guru Granth Sahib to cure me of my cancer and bless me with good vibrant health and long life to remain in his service. I initially, took this suggestion very lightly and argued back that I do not understand Punjabi or Gurmukhi and would therefore, not follow any word of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and whatever brief knowledge of Sikhism and Sri Guru Granth Sahib I acquired was in April of 1999, when I wrote six researched articles on the 300 years of Khalsa celebrations published in the Indian press. But, Sardar Kesar Singh, who is also the president of Gurdwara at Udhana-Surat, convinced me that Sri Guru Granth Sahib's blessings are not restricted to those who speak or understand Punjabi or Gurmukhi. It is the faith and sincere devotion to the Guru which makes you worthy of his blessings.Inspiration and DedicationI found Sardar Kesar Singh's advice very much inspiring. Moreover, my sister-in-law Miss Kunti, a staunch devotee of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and a faithful follower of principles of Sikhism since her childhood, was equally instrumental in motivating me to undertake this pilgrimage. she taught me the basic philosophy of Sikhism and brought me a copy of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in English. My mother-in-law Ms.Shanti Hotchand Khatri, have a separate room at their bungalows at Baroda where they offer prayers, Ardas and listen to Shabad Kirtans every early morning. Their persuasion proved to be decisive.The MiracleSo we left by Golden Temple Mail express train which departed from Surat at around 1-15 a.m. on April 29th 2002. We were received by the staff of Golden Temple and particularly Sardar Diljeet Singh Bedi who is in charge of liaisons with press and the public. Myself being a leading journalist, foreign-educated researcher and U.S.A. trained science writer, was given a VIP treatment and given accommodation in room no. 16 of Sri Arjan Dev Niwas. Since I had only a few days to live according to my doctors, they quickly made preparations for Akhand Path and Ardas after I paid Rs 2100 as fees. My wife Kanta, my daughter Halley and my brother-in-law's daughter Puja also sat with me. I was permitted to photograph and tape-record entire Akhand Path as well as Shabad Kirtans which I wanted to keep listening till I was to breath my last on my death - bed.BlessingsBut I was never to be lying on my death-bed because the moment the Granthi started reciting the Akhand Path , I began to feel streams of energy entering and flowing thru my body. It rose majestically from the pages of Sri Guru Granth Sahib like a serene cool flame of light entering my body through my fingers. The excruciating pain which I had suffered while struggling to reach the Golden Temple also disappeared. After 48 hours, I got up on my own two feet and began to feel and enjoy such vibrant health that I almost ran with joy towards Sri Arjan Dev Niwas and quickly climbed the stairs to my room no. 16. My appetite returned. I first took bath and then visited Jaliyanwala Bagh and then went to the 'Hotel Cityheart' and for the first time in three and half years I enjoyed a variety of Punjabi and Chinese foods which I had missed like deserts miss the rains.Return to SuratWe returned to Surat on 18th May 2002 and on 25th May again bone marrow analysis and electrophoresis tests were done on my body. No cancer was detected. Hence, to obtain second medical opinion, the samples were sent to Mumbai and Ahmedabad and medical doctors there also confirmed that the bone cancer is gone. My oncologist at Ahemedabad Dr. Pankaj Shah was preparing for stem cells transplant on me which was to have cost me Rs. nine lakhs. The entire medical world was taken by surprise. All doctors agreed that this is, indeed, a miracle because there is no medicine in Allopathy that can cure deadly cancer within 48 hours and effect a 180 degree change. The latest electrophoresis: serum protein test done is dated April 7th 2003 at Abha Clinical Laboratory. The doctors have signed this medical test report with comments: " no melanomas band."Post-Miracle AnalysisI have preserved all the medical reports and x-rays done before and after the Akhand Path and Ardas at Golden Temple and they all tell the true story of my miraculous cure. Ever since this miracle, I am not only experiencing Guru's vibrations within me but also feel God's spiritual energy within me which inspires me and guides me in thought and deed, and vibrate in unison with him. I am joyfully back to " cheers and gears of life.", soulfully sharing my God-Given spiritual energy with those who love and faithfully listens to Guru Granth Sahib and enrich their mind, body and soul with divinely vibrant health.Chardi-KalaNow, I am enjoying the life of guru-inspired faith and taking Sri Guru Granth Sahib and God as my constant companion. It is the miracle and the divine magnetic spell of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, which I also realized through Naam therapy that has not only blessed me with healthy life but considering my greatly vibrant health, spiritual strength and new youthful looks and glamorous shining black hair, the same oncologists tell me that I am totally free of all kinds of diseases. I myself feel so close to the Guru that something tells me that I will live for 125 years and remain in Guru's service and bring true love, happiness and inspiration to all my friends.My life has taken a spiritual turn. I get sound sleep without any sleeping pills. Since 25th April 2002, I am no longer on any medicine. I read Nitnem and get sound sleep and get up early to read Paath and enjoy Shabad Kirtan on Punjabi TV channel. Guru's teachings have gone a long way in dispelling the darkness of ignorance. Guru has not only changed my destiny but made me a devotee with the faith that is not blind but enlightened.ConclusionSo often, I see and meet Gurus in my dreams and they taught me a new healthy life-style to give happiness to others. I am never angry. I have no bad habits and always remain jovial. Now, my motto is: ' people enjoy the happiness they feel. but I enjoy the happiness I give. Guru's one of the teachings says : " Kirat Karani and Wand Chhakana." - Meaning: earn the fruits of your hard work ‘ Naam Japana’; and share your fruits with others with love. I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when not feeling it. I believe in God even when he is silent. There is one God. God is truth. He is the creator of the universe and all beings. He is without fear and without hatred. He is the eternal being and the divine soul, birth less, self enlightened. He is enemy to none. Through grace of the Satguru he is met. Diseases and sins are destroyed by hearing the name of God says Guru Nanak. The Name, revealed to me by Guru's advice, is the breath of my life and the praise of the lord is my life's vocation. " Truth is great but greater than truth is truthful living." says Sri Guru Granth Sahib ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ।।

Also, these heavy foods aren't digested as quickly as Daal etc. So how are Sikhs going to be able to wake up at Amrit Vela. We can't be eating meat for the taste of the tongue. Siane Gurmukh Pyare will have more to say. And by the way, Daal is tasty too. ।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ।
  9. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ This is really interesting ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
  10. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Veerji, I was thinking about why people get depressed and then I thought about our history. The older Sikhs were in Chardi Kala and a lot still are. Bhai Mani Singh ji was in such Chardi Kala and as a result he was willing to get fingers chopped first instead of his wrist. Bhai Taru Singh ji willing to get his scalp taken off to keep this precious Kesh we have been blessed with. I think you should tell your brother these Sakhis. They are so inspirational and show how Chardi Kala the Sikhs are and never depressed. He will want to know why they were so brave and in bliss and then you can tell him about Gurbani and its greatness. That will be the start to his faith. Listening and reading to Sukhmani Sahib, Nitnem and Other Paath and Katha will help too. Books of Gurmukh Pyare will help too like Se Kinehya about Sant Baba Harnaam Singh ji's great life. Ask him to read it with a soft heart and it will touch him. Remember Ardas is the greatest Shakti (power) we have and if you do an Ardas with love for Maharaj, he will surely help if he wills it. If he can't understand Punjabi, Ask him to start watching Basics of Sikhi and also tell him that we can experience Vaheguru ji and can know that he is real. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
  11. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ I think we should stop trying to criticise Christianity. In my opinion it's quite rude and will break a brother or sister's heart if they come on this website and see that we are trying to make fun of their faith. Alright there are somethings which are quite unusual and have been mixed with the Pagan religions but still let's try to keep Gurmat. Remember Satgur Paatshah Bibek de Saagar didn't make fun of anyone else's faith. When Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaaj was invited to the Mosque, he didn't start saying that Islam is false. Something interesting, apparently some people found the Ark on Mountains Ararat. They found wood, thousands of feet up in the mountains, frozen and a guy brought back a piece of wood found there and that type doesn't grow anywhere near there, I think. And even if Noah's ark is true, I think Noah (who is said to be hundreds of years old in age - a person in Satjug?) would have some common sense don't you think? Don't you think he would have brought babies on instead of a leopard eating a deer and there being Chaos? And also does it affect Sikhi at all whether this happened or not. Maharaaj has told us: ਜਿਨੀਐਸਾਹਰਿਨਾਮੁਨਚੇਤਿਓਸੇਕਾਹੇਜਗਿਆਏਰਾਮਰਾਜੇ॥ Those who have not kept the Lord's Name in their consciousness - why did they bother to come into the world, O Lord King? ਇਹੁਮਾਣਸਜਨਮੁਦੁਲੰਭੁਹੈਨਾਮਬਿਨਾਬਿਰਥਾਸਭੁਜਾਏ॥ It is so difficult to obtain this human incarnation, and without the Naam, it is all futile and useless. ਹੁਣਿਵਤੈਹਰਿਨਾਮੁਨਬੀਜਿਓਅਗੈਭੁਖਾਕਿਆਖਾਏ॥ Now, in this most fortunate season, he does not plant the seed of the Lord's Name; what will the hungry soul eat, in the world hereafter? ਮਨਮੁਖਾਨੋਫਿਰਿਜਨਮੁਹੈਨਾਨਕਹਰਿਭਾਏ॥੨॥ The self-willed manmukhs are born again and again. O Nanak, such is the Lord's Will. ||2|| ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ

  13. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Remember that Waheguru is not going to destroy the world yet.

  14. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ That's amazing Bhai Sahib. Great job for asking Maharaj for help. Greatest Shakti (power) we have is to do an Ardas with Pyaar for Guru and with faith Keep your Kesh and do Ardas from the bottom of you heart. Take little steps and Maharaj will take millions of big steps towards you.

  15. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Sister you don't have to leave. Forgive those who have been rude to you and remember a Sikh/Khalsa is never meant to be rude to anyone about their faith. Sorry you had to face that even though you came with sincerity to learn about Sikhi. Good that you say that those who seek God, do so by love because that's similar to what the 10th Guru says in a Shabad. ਸਾਚੁਕਹੌਸੁਨਲੇਹੁਸਭੈਜਿਨਪ੍ਰੇਮਕੀਓਤਿਨਹੀਪ੍ਰਭੁਪਾਇਓ॥੯॥੨੯॥ I speak Truth, all should turn their ears towards it: only the one absorbed in True Love shall attain the Lord. 9.29.
  16. Bhai Sahib, I disagree with you, not trying to be rude. Hitler was a naastak. He even went in church and said some foul words to the cross. He maipulated the church and tried to twist it (mainly protestanism as the Catholics weren't going to get rid of their faith). And there was quite a lot of opposition from the church anyway like Martin Niemoller and many others. Hitler also believed that Jews were the least evolved and that they were the reason for evil in Germany e.g. unemployment. They actually weren't and it was just a stupid and manmukhi thing that Hitler did. He made it seem like there was a problem and then made a common enemy for the people so that's they would be hostile towards them and praise Hitler for somehow saving them from a problem that never really existed. Unemployment existed but not because of the Jews. This is similar to Indira Gandhi in 1984 making a problem and dissolving government because she wanted to stay in power and because she knew that the Khalsa and Sikhi were prosperous and destined to rule (seeing from how the Singhs were fierce and were solid in our principles), she made us look a common enemy so India could give her praise for solving a fake problem to maintain her own power. Secondly your point about the youth. Hitler was indoctrinating his youth (e.g. with Hitler youth and other groups etc.) training them for war and, teaching them that the aryans were the best and not actually helping at all to get rid of corruption. That is the opposite from clearing the rubbish in society. Thirdly it wasn't the Jews fault for the corruption in traditional values. It was due to the relaxed attitude of the weimar republic that allowed for all of this. I don't think they are because why would someone have to lie about that. Sorry if I said something rude to you Bhai Sahib, ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
  17. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Vaisakhi is the time we celebrate every year of when Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaaj stood in front of the whole Sangat (holy company) and asked who is willing to give their head and die for the Guru. Maharaaj was holding a sword too and after some time one person in the crowd stood up went to Guru Sahib to give his head. It happened 5 times and after that it revealed that Maharaaj blessed his Sikhs to be apart of the Khalsa blessing us with a new baptism/initiation ceremony called the Amrit Sanchar. There you get the fruits of the name of God unlocked and the daily practice of keeping the 5k's, the specific prayers to read everyday and to live your life as a Khalsa (a pure one) everyday. ਜਉਤਉਪ੍ਰੇਮਖੇਲਣਕਾਚਾਉ॥ If you desire to play this game of love with Me, ਸਿਰੁਧਰਿਤਲੀਗਲੀਮੇਰੀਆਉ॥ then step onto My Path with your head in hand. ਇਤੁਮਾਰਗਿਪੈਰੁਧਰੀਜੈ॥ When you place your feet on this Path, ਸਿਰੁਦੀਜੈਕਾਣਿਨਕੀਜੈ॥੨੦॥ give Me your head, and do not pay any attention to public opinion. ||20|| This is a Shabad written by Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaaj about giving your head to the Guru. Before Guru Gobind Singh ji made the new Amrit Sanchar, there was Charan Amrit, drinking blessed water where the feet of the Guru was dipped in. It was still mandatory to keep hair and read prayers. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ (If you were wondering what this means, it means that the Khalsa - the pure ones/holy people - belong to God and that all victory belongs to God too)
  18. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Bhai Sahib, imagine that Guru Sahib is standing right next you or that you're in Guru Granth Sahib ji's Maharaaj's paavan pavitar Hazoori. Read some Bani to get rid of the urge. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
  19. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Of course not. The reason for sexual relations is to have kids and only in marriage. Otherwise it just becomes lust. And anyway, why wouldn't you want to have kids born into the Khalsa Panth. Imagine the how much more Chardi Kala the panth will be in with more Gursikhs. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
  20. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Maharaaj has told us to live in Grishti Jeevan (family/householder's lifestyle) so it's fine. Bhai Gurdas ji writes that even with one partner (wife), one remains celibate. ਏਕਾਨਾਰੀਜਤੀਹੋਇਪਰਨਾਰੀਧੀਭੈਣਵਖਾਣੈ। Having one women as wife he (the Sikh) is a celebate and considers any other's wife as his daughter or a sister. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
  21. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ He says belief is something you're unsure about but we are 100% sure and know that Vaheguru ji exists. Just look at the Great Gurmukh Pyare and experience Vaheguru ji yourself. That's proof. He getting mixed up. When we say belief or have faith, what we're really saying is that Vaheguru will take care of us and help us in our lives. Of course he exists. Many people's Vishvaas has been broken by these new age preachers. Quite sad really. Still don't understand how this people are called spiritual when you need to Vaheguru to have spirituality. The fact that there is a spiritual plane of existence as told to us by Gurmukhs shows that's Vaheguru is there too. Salok Kabeer Jee - Bhagat Kabeer Ji - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji - Ang 1371 ਕਬੀਰਸਾਕਤਸੰਗੁਨਕੀਜੀਐਦੂਰਹਿਜਾਈਐਭਾਗਿ॥ Kabeer, do not associate with the faithless cynics; run far away from them. ਬਾਸਨੁਕਾਰੋਪਰਸੀਐਤਉਕਛੁਲਾਗੈਦਾਗੁ॥੧੩੧॥ If you touch a vessel stained with soot, some of the soot will stick to you. ||131|| ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
  22. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ Homosexuality is not allowed in Sikhi. Our Guru has told us that the marriage ceremony is between a Man and Woman only. As result homosexuality practices are not allowed because it is adultery (outside of marriage). In addition homosexuality is based off lust. We should control this desire and it's only purpose is for procreation when we're married. http://manvirsingh.blogspot.com/2019/02/a-gurmat-perspective-lgbt-relationships.html?m=1 Great article by Bhai Manvir Singh ji (very respectable Gursikh). However, just because some people our homosexual (in today's world), that does not mean that we should discriminate against them. We should still treat them normally and kindly with respect. However for a Sikh, it's not allowed whatsoever. Following God's path is about giving your head and accepting his hukam (command and will), not our own egos. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
