  1. well i dont drink, eat meat or etc nothing dodgy bout me etc BUT ma dad does drink heavily and never mixes with relatives etc........and its got me worried that no decent sikh family will ever want their daughter to marry into a family with a father-in-law who drinks......this has got me very worried and gets me angry at my dad alot.....

    Do not worry, you will get married to prince charming, who will understand everything, needn't to be worried, always pray to Guru Sahib, once you have, your dad will never look back to alcohol ever again, do it from your heart and most things will be put right. All the best!

    virji..this is not a bhenji...its a veerji...so his princess charming! not prince charming!

  2. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

    This incident took place in 1510 (during Guru Nanak Sahib jis first preaching odyssey - Udasi) . A Brahmin named 'Kalyug' had made his abode there. He was a learned man beside being very rich. Many pilgrims were his followers and often stayed in his Dera (Camp).

    This Pandit was swindling the gullible people who were not aware of what the true religion was. Many rich persons who visited him were more interested in knowing about their future life or the life hereafter. They would feel happy listening to good and favourable stories about themselves. Pleased with such fables, they would make handsome offerings to him.

    In Jagannath Puri, where Satguru ji condemned the ritualistic. Aarti (A form of prayer in temples), he also unmasked the deeds of 'Kalyug' pandit. Kalyug Pandit was sitting in meditative mood while many devotees were surrounding him. He had a small pitcher (jug) like metallic container placed in his front in which the pilgrims were putting their offerings. He would close his eyes for sometime and open them again.

    Sometimes he would close one of his nostrils, either right or left with his hand. Then he would suddenly declare that he is seeing Vishnu Bhagwan in the heaven. Similarly he would claim an audience with other gods and his visits to Brahmpuri (Abode of Brahma) and Shivpuri (Abode of Shivji). The devotees were listening to all his claims with rapt silence and expected that soon he would take them to the divine trip too. He then asked all those present to shut their eyes and perceive the heaven in their minds, and he would help them see it.

    When all those present there closed their eyes, Guru ji signalled Bhai Mardana to pick up the small pitcher like container from his front and hide it behind him in a bush. When the ' Panda ' opened his eyes, he did not see the container in his front. He was beside himself with rage and started shouting loudly and asking who had taken his small container. "Don't crack jokes with the Saints. We don't crave for money... etc.", he said. The pilgrims in his attendance were also surprised. Hearing his shouts, many more people gathered around. Guru ji stepped forward and said, "Pandit ji, you were able to see Brahmpuri, Shivpuri and Vishnupuri, why don't you look around in this Universe ? You may be able to locate where the container is lying". Hearing these remarks the 'Panda' vexed still more. Some present also said, "Pandit ji, you were seeing the divine abode but now you can't find your small pitcher. How could it be ?" People understood the deceit of the Pandit.

    Guru ji well disclosed his beguile and advised people that those who sit in meditative postures, closing their eyes, nose and ears were not to be trusted. They were like herons who stood still on one leg in the water to pounce upon at fish and frogs. Here was that 'Pandit' who could see the divine abodes but could not spot his money container lying behind him.

    Guru ji further explained that these were the tricks used by the imposters to swindle people of their hard earned money. Satguru ji explained to all the pilgrims that remembering God is the right path of this life. All other ritualistic actions are not worship but acts of impressing people.

    Kalyug Panda was highly impressed by the personality of Guru ji and his sermons. He requested Guru ji to honour him with his stay in his abode. Guru ji agreed and during this period apprised him with the true path.

    One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

    No, no, this is not the time, when people know the way to Yoga and Truth.

    The holy places of worship in the world are polluted, and so the world is drowning. ||1||

    In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Lord's Name is the most sublime.

    Some people try to deceive the world by closing their eyes and holding their nostrils closed. ||1||Pause||

    They close off their nostrils with their fingers, and claim to see the three worlds.

    But they cannot even see what is behind them. What a strange lotus pose this is! ||2||

    The K'shatriyas have abandoned their religion, and have adopted a foreign language.

    The whole world has been reduced to the same social status; the state of righteousness and Dharma has been lost. ||3||

    They analyze eight chapters of (Panini's) grammar and the Puraanas. They study the Vedas,

    but without the Lord's Name, no one is liberated; so says Nanak, the Lord's slave. ||4||1||6||8||

  3. Tell your dad...how your dastaar is your head/brain..that you cant just take it off when it pleases anyone and that taking it off would mean utmost disrecpect to Our True Guru!...and that Sangat is important because it helps us fight the 5 chors...WE NEED SANGAT!

  4. Hershi, you have to talk to uncle and try to keep your cool while talking to him! because your dastaar and sangat are extremely important! I am shocked that this is happening...you have to explain to uncle that what he has heard and the experiences he's had should not affect your sikhi! talk to aunty...i know how mad she gets if you dont go..so tell her to talk to your dad!!

  5. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

    A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said,

    "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side." Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know." "You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

    The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

    Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death,

    but I do know one thing...

    I know my Master is there and that is enough."

  6. A man was walking along the dusty footpath one day. As he was walking he fell into a well!! It was quite a deep well but it had no water inside it, hence there was no way out! The man thought to himself "how am I going to get myself out of this well?" Then all of a sudden, a long rope came down from above...

    The man thought "what a stroke of luck!! Thank God for that!!" The man then proceeded to climb the rope, he felt so glad that he had been given a way to get out. He was halfway up the rope, then, he felt something on his cheek, it started trickling into his mouth. "Hmmm..." he thought, "this tastes like honey!!" He hung onto the rope and started to eat the honey. All the while, he did not notice that there were two mice at the top of the well knawing at the rope.

    One mouse was black and the other white. The man carried on eating the honey until he was completely satisfied, and then proceeded to climb the rope. As he climbed further, the mice carried on knawing at the rope, first the white mouse then the black mouse. The man was close to the top then SNAP! the rope broke and he fell back into the well where he stayed forever...

    And the moral of the Story??

    Everything in this story represents something....this is what the each thing represents...

    The man represents us as souls

    The well represents birth/life

    The rope represents Simran (remembrance of God)

    The Honey represents distraction from Simran

    The mice (Black and White) represent Night and Day
