  1. They were truely a brahmgyani, through love, humility and compassion they showered their blessings upon millions and did so much parchar aswell as seva of the needy. A very special soul, blessed are those who had their darshan in this life.
  2. Try to read Gurbani and understand it. And listen to kirtan. Maybe find some good sangat, some bibiyan who are of similar age to connect with to support your journey. Maybe see a counsellor to deal with any underlying issues about past actions and what you said about regretting everyday. I dont think anyones is in a position to comment or offer advice on whats right or wrong without knowing the full story or judging from the outside which isnt helpful. Except that whilst you cant change the past you can change now. The Guru is your guide.
  3. Theres an app called Memorise nitnem on googleplay . It shows first line of each Gurbani paath and you can click on it to expand if you need to see the full shabad etc. But its really good to help you learn. I rememeber some Singh suggesting thats a good way to learn Gurbani.
  4. We have a similar story in our family. My great grand father came back to india when he was in his forties and got married. Then passed away quite quickly. He had brought alot of money and bought so much land in punjab on his return. But his kids ( my grandad etc) were so young they didnt know what he owned. So alot of it was plundered , some ppl took advantage and grabbed the land etc. But no one really found out about his past in austrailia, did he have family or land or stuff out there. Didnt know where to start really as my grandparents passed away so other than his name i dnt hav much info but always wondered if theres a way to know more just out of interest. Theres one photo of him n he was mona propa dressed smart too like one of those english men photos.
  5. Its sad ppl have double standards when it comes to amritdhari bibiyan keeping kesh. Id say dont compromise your values for those sorta people.
  6. If your just starting up then you may be better off doing your own book keeping. Easy to do and manage, lots of advice online and its easy to do ur own book keeping. But if you really do need an accountant id suggest networking with other busines owners, family or friends to request a recommendation of a trusted accredited accountant as opposed to searching for one on an online social platform. Best of luck with ur venture!
  7. Her family may have had a strong influence on her decisions. Its sad but now its done, he needs to understand his feelings and pull himself together. Its a big life lesson for him. He will get through it and the sooner he does the better. Instead of being bitter think of it as Vahegurus lessons along the journey through life. All break ups where people are emotionally involved and committed are painful. This is life and it seems to happen more these days. Back to OP. As per advice above, open and honest conversations should happen by each person and their parents as soon as you think things might get serious. If the other person cant or doesnt want to speak to their parents then you know its not serious or they cant commit, perhaps dont get too involved and be sensible. This shouldnt be forced, its quite pressurising for some people, often a big issue in stricter families. In some families marriage is also the merging of two families so parents and family have more to consider so things can get complicated. Thats regardless of caste, families often look beyond the couple. In the west its more about two ppl. We sometimes get stuck between it all.
  8. Penji, sounds like the underying issue is how mother in law feels about animals, seems like has some fixed view point and feels uncomfortable and challenged with your alternative view point. Love for animals, nature and gods creation isnt bad. They are more content, living naturally and in His Hukam. Amazing.
  9. Happy Gurpurab ji Sorry watching the video i feel we can celebrate/remember in better ways, year on year the fireworks become more OTT. With all respect and not wanting to go off topic. Im not saying no to celebrations or fireworks, just some consideration needed around financial and environmental cost against spiritual benefit.
  10. Theres alot of different views above and to some extent everyones got a valid point. I do believe good or bad, it is all his hukam, however we still have a choice to act righteously or conciously. What i struggle with is when people who do wrong or hurt someone and say 'oh its hukam, chalo accept it' instead of being accountable for their actions or fixing thing. Whilst yes its hukam, the karma created is also part of that hukam. Its really complex and maybe we cant really pin point it down to a single phrase or view point. Maybe our limited intellect and ego cant really comprehend it. In the end this tuk comes to mind.... ਹੁਕਮੁ ਨ ਕਹਿਆ ਜਾਈ ॥ Hukam N Kehiaa Jaaee || His Command cannot be described.
  11. Women arent degraded by our Gurus, there are shabads you can search to read in this regard. Marayada to be followed is what is given by the Panj pyare and same for any Khalsa in attendance. You will meet many people who say many things, and with as many views thats just human nature.
  12. Why do you feel embarrassed in a corporate environment? You said you dont want to trim it. Which is obv as per the Sikhi way. Then therapy or counselling may help deal with any feelings that may be affecting you?
  13. Guru Nanak Maharaj has answered all questions already, within Guru Granth Sahib ji. They travelled far and wide and engaged with all people and answered all questions. Their darshan are within Guru Granth Sahib ji. Through reading and understanding all doubts are erased.
  14. How did you work that out? Dont think the screen shot mentions what they earn? Unless im missing sumat lol
  15. ? I thought i was the only one who was thinking that, woah ppl going off topic. I think buying a Church site is fine. No ones asking anyone to change their practices and we dont need to go digging up anything because its 'not sikhi'. I know of a gurdwara where they created a car park on some land and it had some graves, part of the conditions were to retain the area where the graves were. It also had some headstones. So they just segregated that area and kept it as a lawn etc. No one was too fussed as it doesnt mean the Gurdwara is now burying lol.
