THE POPE AND THE SIKH!!! About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Sikhs had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Sikh community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Sikh community. If the Sikh won, the Sikhs could stay. If the Pope won, the Sikhs would leave. The Sikhs realized that they had no choice. So they picked a middle aged man named Santa Singh to represent them. Santa Singh asked for one addition to the debate. To make it more interesting, neither side would be allowed to talk. The Pope agreed. The day of the great debate came. Santa Singh & the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Santa Singh looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Santa Singh pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Santa Singh pulled out an apple. The Pope stood up and said "I give up! This man is too good. The Sikhs can stay." An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what had happened. The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent the trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins.He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?" Meanwhile, the Sikh community had crowded around Santa Singh. "What happened?" they asked. "Well," said Santa Singh, "First he said to me that the Sikhs had three days to get out of here. I told him that not one of us was leaving. Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Sikhs. I pointed down to let him know that wewere staying right here in this land." Yes, yes and then???" asked the crowd. I don't know", said Santa Singh, "He took out his lunch and I took out mine."

Gur Fateh Ji The pc i'm using at home is still pretty powerful in comparison to 'average' pcs today...eventhough i built it in 2003. Cost me 650 uk Pawnd ..was 1400 canadia dollars at the time (i think) - yes i got the parts from canada!..if you go to vancouver theres a pretty good store called NCIX (in burnaby)..http://www.ncix.com/ anyway its a store with loads of chinese guys running around with very good deals! If you dont need it for gaming then im sure you will be able to pick up a very good pc for your needs at a price of £400...then again if youre not planning on going to canada or know someone who's going..then these Aldi offers sound good :lol: Gur fateh

Gur Fateh Ji I quite like some of the designs in the portfolio section...the orane mai bhago one is cool! Gurfateh

Gur fateh Ji check her blog out! http://snatamkaur.blogspot.com/ Gur fateh

Gurfateh JI this is a must read translation regarding some rehits (including cold showers) http://www.tapoban.org/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=23076&t=23076 heres an excerpt from the translation relevant to this post: go for a 20 min jog in the morning or do 50 pressups..i'm sure you will be craving for a freezing cold shower! wahegurooooo! Gurfateh ji!

man this is crazy!!! my dad gave the exact same example today!!!!

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh!! yup...all the giannis at siri harminder sahib are pretty fat every morning on alpha. in our local gurdwara..they serve tea with and without sugar..i know its not that much but its a start! as for the ladoos and gulab jamans (or cholesterol bombs as i call it - make ur heart explode )...we need to educate our people as much as possible...for example my family are jalaybee lovers (the very hot ones)..ok ok i admit i have a sweet tooth too..but the fact that its sugary stuff fried in oil doesnt really sound that good for you and so naturally my family and i have cut down the amount (and frequency) on sweets. I think if one gurdwara shows by example by always having a healthy langar..i'm sure it will stop this common trend of fry-ups every morning. Langar on a sunday could comprise of: 6am-9am = porridge/cereals/fruit/water! 9am-12pm = toast/tea...erm cant think of anything else :lol: ...(ok bring back the samosay!) 12pm-2pm = roti with daals and sabjis made sparingly with olive oil/rapeseed oil..with as much salt as possible, not to mention plenty of salad and fruit! ok forget this plan...just make everyone do 50 pressups followed by 10 laps around the gurdwara car park..then you can have all the samosay and ladoos you want (ignore this sentence) waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh isrIrwgu mhlw 1 ] sireeraag mehalaa 1 || Siree Raag, First Mehla: siB rs imTy mMinAY suixAY swloxy ] sabh ras mit(h)ae ma(n)niai suniai saalonae || Believing, all tastes are sweet.

fantastic read..thanks for sharing

hey singh...why the need for a bluetooth headset when your dastaar can hold the actual phone :lol: on a serious note this one looks like the most dastaaar-friendly headset out of the ones you posted: http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=ca&...pp4_1&pid=10147 I suppose you can wear it and then tie your dastaar over it. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

waheguru ji ka kahalsa waheguru ji ki fateh Good to hear that you have an interest in developing your sikhi. The responses above are absolutely right in saying that the universally accepted maryada of the sikhs is the Akaal Takhat's rehit maryada. However, on taking amrit you are most likely to be given more specific instructions in terms of your rehit (e.g. most amritdharis are expected to do 5 banis in the morning instead of 3). Good luck!

Fantastic thread :TH:

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh I would just like to comment that recently they visited the local gurdwara i attend and that they spoke of some things against panthic rehat maryada. This included saying 'to speak against those who shorten nitnem to 3 banis and those who shorten the mool mantar up to Gurparsad'. This is absolutely against the panthic rehat maryada and since it was being said in front of the sangat in a gurdwara with a nishan sahib (which gives it the sign that it is in accordance with the akaal takhat sahib). The issue was taken to the committee who all agreed that it was wrong of them to speak their anti-panthic opinions The panthic rehat maryada is for everyone who wishes to call themself a sikh whereas an amritdhari is given additional instructions to how to live their life. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh Having it been the 3rd smagam in Bradford, it was fantastic. There certainly is evidence that the quality of the smagam is progressing in the right direction (chardi kala). As for during the day amarjeet_singh, we tried everything in our capabilites but there simply isnt enough motivated people up here to get things done. I really wanted to do rifle shooting again and even told some singhs to sort it out since i was busy doing another task, but motivation was lacking. BTW there are more pics that my bro and I took on the following website: MORE SMAGAM PICS waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

Cov Khalsa jee i think i'm going to have to find you a trophy. We used to do grappling up north about 4 years ago with headguards, boxing gloves..etc

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh Can we stick to the topic............. those of you complaining about meat on both sides of the argument seem to think this is the most important bit about sikhi....whether or not we can eat meat. May i suggest you fight over this 'really important issue' in another post. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh Sangat jee, this is a subject that i've looked into some depth having studied some modules at school and also out of general interest. There was also a documentary on BBC horizon about 2 months ago regarding this issue and vegetarians. All I can say is that there definitely is a link between Omega-3 and anti-coagulating effects but not enough evidence to suggest clinical use in conditions such as depression and insomnia. Doing simran and paath always makes you feel 'good'.....and perhaps those of you who enjoy the placebo effect of taking supplements; make some pinia with linseed ........actually im gonna go have one now (not because they have omega-3) because they're so tasty waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
