I don't if by controlling what goes into your mind relates to being a friend or foe with ones mind. but it definetly would help the mind wandering on to manmukh things. if we have our minds and our self towards our Guru (Gur Mukh) and say we are apart of the khalsa, and by being khalsa we want to be the best as our victories are always for him, our mind shouldn't wander. I should be the last person to say this je kuch galat keh hogaya hovai bhul chuk maaf karni sangat jio. fateh

yep, check this youtube vdeo out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMKeos3EU40

has anyone heard of Baba Kahandas? just wanted to know a lil bit about his history

funny how he's jumped on the band wagon, especially when promoting or taking smack, anything for maya hey?!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX4rWLeTDWM and then there's manmohan waris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8WRuFlOZCg

i remember when, i had to leave darbar sahib, and i was walking backwards, and i stumbled over those wooden lil desk things (don't know what their called) So I've stopped walking backwards and faced the way I walked out of no disrespect to Maharaj.

i think the same can be said for all people in these times... 'Don't be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind'

ermmm so can we have more details about the amrit sanchar in Southall on Saturday?

this reminds me of that uproar the muslims had about the illustration of muhammud, its a similar stunt

Thank you so so much. :wub:

Yes 5 vices are our enemies...but they are our inner vices and they have been the vices of every individual since beginning. But apart from that there are some worldly enemies too. Like we had mughals, turks, afghanis, pahari raje etc but that doesn't mean we didn't have 5 vices as our enemies then they existed at same time with every individual's 5 vices. Likewise apart from our 5 vices there are a lot of other enemies who have nefarious designs aimed for inflicting damage on people's lives. I understand what your saying bhaaji, by me saying enemies are 5 vices. I was trying to say lets sort out whats going on within ourselves and our community before flaring up feelings of hatred. I, as many lads, would read such blogs, and feel stirred up feelings towards other people who appeared to be a enemy, but not all people who appear to be the enemy are the enemy.

our enemies are the 5 vices

i find your blog very right wing, and could see that youth with very little foundations set in sikhi, to take this blog to flare up their emotions and then landing themself in trouble.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahegure Ji ki Fateh. Yesterday I was talking to the guys from punjab at my uni, literally about all these issues hitting punjab. 1. Punjab Infustructure - No jobs (especially I.T) these guys have to go to Bangalore. Jobs which are available in punjab are mostly in Chandigarh, and the people who get the jobs are usually connected with ministers and pay money under the table to get them. So the guys who work really hard don't always get the best jobs. The private jobs which are available are not paying enough, around Rs5000 a month, which is nothing. 2. Petrol prices Rs70 a litre i think(don't qoute me, might be the price of a full tank). and the only reason the prices went up was because of the war on iraq, India and Iraq had a good relationship and hence oil was cheaper. 3. This Baba, who says he can make the 7 setaray. 4. All the young people of punjab coming into foreign countries. Rather than trying to make changes in their own country, they HAVE to come to other countries to provide for their families. With the lack job oppurtunities, and labour jobs paying hardly Rs100 a day, how can they feed their families. And even the jobs priority is given to the stoot castes. I understand that in Sikhi their is no Caste, but surely a job should be offered to you on your abilities. 5. Drugs are a major major problem in punjab, nearly 80% of the guys left in punjab on on drugs. be it Smack, Heroine. The amount of off licences opened in punjab have qudrupled. So much so that it was cheaper to buy a four pack of beers than water. Drugs such as smack are in so much demand that even the pharmacies sell them. Them drugs sell more than the medical drugs. I asked the student from punjab, doesn't police do anything. they laughed. They said their the ones selling them, if they don't sell they go out of pocket. This was a problem which really had me worried. even got me researching into anti drugs campaigns. And didn't find any major clinics. I saw an article from one of the sikh websites. but have forgotten which one but it was written about one clinic where they shave the addicts hair including eyebrows, so they will now run away. The article also spoke about it not being right and not the gurmat way. This is one place in which we can help our punjab, even if we can set up a campaign or anything to counter anything. But then my reluctance came into play and thought that all these drugs where do they come from. My thoughts only turned to the government, and the fat cats of punjab. 6. Their are so many educational institutes in Punjab now, that colleges are finding it hard to enrol students. I s'pose its not bad, but some of these colleges do not have many recognised boards. So if a student wants to come to the UK the college they attend would have to be apart of a certain board for them to be eligible for their application to be accepted. In the next ten years most india's population is going to be under 20's, which is the only shown promise that the young population will be educated and changes will come. p.s. forgot about the water issue.

I'll be going, and i'll help do anything i can get my hands on,

waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh. Sangat ji, i've been reading that topic for about half an hour, and some thing in my mind keeps me thinking, keep ya rehat maryada, and look to the future.

waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh inspiring phaaji

a glass of dhaal after a great work out beats any protein shake!

when's it gonna be complete, i think we should organise a good ol' sikh sangat pilgrimage!

not to pick on you, but you have a khanda with an overlay of a union jack. what's the difference between that and flying a british flag along side the nishaan sahib? nishaan sahib is religious, not political like the union jack, and vice versa. It should be lower, but I don't see any real problem with it. I know there's a situation out in california where they wanted to put up the nishan sahib, but the county or something had an ordinance that said that the u.s. flag had to be the largest flag on a property, so they can't legally put up the nishan sahib. In that situation, I can see that it's wrong to do that, but if there's no ordinance saying that in British law, what's the problem? Just fly a lower one underneath. Sorry for the late reply, when I posted my post, I know I was gonna get asked that. The khanda has the british flag within it, to represent british people, the Khanda is a one symbol for sikhi, with deeper meanings. This represents the people or the sikhs, rather than a gurdwara, Which is a Guru da Ghar, We have nationalities, weather it comes before religion or be nationality is another arguement but since when did Guru ji have a nationality, never, which also brings on another arguement should we have nationality, isn't our nationality the Khalsa, i'm getting confused Bhul chuk maaf karni ji!
