Looking at the photos above....it doesn't seem like Dhundha would've spoken against Sri Dasam Granth Saheb infront of so many Nihung Singhs.

I loved it. How do you do it?

Googled it :D :bl: search for 'let me google that for you'...click on http://lmgtfy.com/ after you create the search...it gives you a link to copy and so on. It's cool, isn't it?

Well thanks.

Hope you didn't mind, it was only a joke... :mellow2:

What is kumbh mela?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=kumbh+mela

Love this one! :D

Wow! The pictures are quite interesting. Looking forward to seeing this year's pictures.

I'm 13 years younger to my Singh. We have a beautiful little son, lovely family....

I don't see any problems with our age gap. :happy2:

edit: Also, the age gap between my mother-in-law and father-in-law was 10 years. Honestly, the age-gap doesn't matter as much as compatibility does!

If your families know about it...and you do feel a connection...why don't you guys get married?

Do remember, the 'connection' you're talking about is your soul connecting. You've said...what if something goes wrong... If it does, before you get married...you might end up 'connecting' to someone else as time goes by. Spiritually, it DOES make a difference. The bonds that the soul makes...just don't simply get erased. Take it all very seriously.

I suggest you guys get married and save yourselves the guilt.

I thinks the following attachments might help understand about the importance of Gurbani in relation to (not as opposed to) Gurmantar.
These are excerpts from the book "Naam te Naam da data Satguru" written by Bhai Saheb Bhai Randheer Singh Ji.

The gist of it all is as quoted: "Gurbani di sahaeta ton bina naam de simran vich navin chardi kala nahin wartdi, jo gurbani paran sunan wale naam abhiyaasi di dasha vich wartdi te pallardi hai, kyonki Gurbani te naam dono ot-pot han. Gurbani di paaras kala di sahaeta ton sakhne nire naam de abhiyaasi aksar khardi kala vich reh jande han."

(apologies for lousy transliteration)

In English: Without the help of Gurbani, there is no Chardi-kala (uplifting?, uprising?) in the chanting of Naam (Gurmantar/Waheguru)...that happens in the case of a seeker who reads and listens to Gurbani, because Naam and Gurbani are bother interrelated. Without the 'paras-kala' (?don't know correct translation?) of Gurbani, mere chanters of Naam, usually have no progress spiritually.

Edit: point being that Mool Mantar and Gurmantar are inter-related. It's not wise to speculate which one is stronger than the other.

I've heard that it's an another name for the Kalki Avtaar.

Who is the SGPC to decide this?

Avtar makkari is known to regularly consume alcohol.

I have absolutely no doubt about the corrupt ways of the SGPC. However, if they do make the aforementioned excuse, what should be our response? Should a Gurmatta have been passed?

I do understand that this particular saroop of Maharaaj Ji is of historical importance. But the other 'birdh' saroops in and around Harmandar Saheb...Who gets to make decisions about them, usually/normally?

I totally agree with you all about the destruction of heritage and 'evidence'.

I just have another question: Would it be wrong to do saskaar of that particular saroop of Maharaaj ji if the saroop is 'birdh'?

What do the doctors say? Is it merely cradle cap or something else?

Again underestimating the distortion that 3HO are doing to the Sikh nation worldwide. Spreading idol worship, spreading yoga practice is the key to Sikhi, making Gurbani secondary, and accepting Yogi Bhajan as Guru. Compare and contrast Naamdhari to 3HO and they are the same. In no way is Dhunda worse than 3HO, both are destroying the true teachings of Sikhi in their own way. One is appealing to the punjabi community alone and the 3HO have taken on appealing to a wider community that includes the punjabi community. Additionally they use the punjabi community to further their wrong teachings.

Now you've officially turned the thread titled "~~ Re Man Eh Bidh Jog Kamaao ~~~" into a 3HO bashing thread.

Bhaji, Why don't you understand?

We're not worshipping the 3HO here...nor are we trying to promote them or anything. We just simply shared videos where the titled shabad was being sung.

You still haven't explained your first statement of accusing us of hypocrisy.

A hate thread would mean for me to take a subjective approach in respect to 3HO. I know many people hold attachments to others regardless how wrong the organization, person is, but if you or another person can refute that 3HO don't preach yoga is the key to Sri Vaheguru Ji Maharaj, then please do open a different thread. The otherside as well stacked evidence to show otherwise.

If you or another is hurt by the evidence, then I'll apologize and ask you to look beyond your attachments and understand its about accepting Sikhi as Satguru teaches; Nirbhou and Nirvair.

Too many people today have grown attached to organizations and people that they forgot who the actual Guru is.

Bhai Saheb, we were simply sharing videos that we liked. I've never met a single 3HO person in my life. I find Snatam's videos very calming and the one I shared helps me concentrate. I struggle to understand how is it hypocritic at all!

I know N30S1NGH bhaji has friends/acquaintances within that group....but why is that so bad?

Bhaji, if you wanted, you could've simply ignored the thread and moved onto the next topic you liked! Why did you have to be so rude and hateful!?

edited: Although I do agree about the organisation's condemnable practices. But that certainly doesn't restrict us from sharing whatever good we're able to see in them.

The irony and the hyprocrisy is too great is this thread. But i wont turn this into a 3HO teaching yoga the way to Sri Vaheguru Ji Maharaj thread.

And please, don't try to turn it into a hate thread either. Thank you.

Here is full version

Have you listened to this one bhaji?

Omg! Snatam Kaur's video is the first thing that came to mind when I read the title! The chant is absolutely soothing!

kesri isnt in accord with bana? good point tho since i did say kesri is not the "ligit" colour for Nishaan Sahibs

Bhaji, I'm not entirely sure about the history behind colours of Nishan Saheb.

But my reply was in regard to the kesri colour being legitimate for Khalsa's representation and not necessarily bahmanvaad.

In the image linked above Sant Giani Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale have tied a Kesri dastaar. Is it possible that they would've tied a dastar of a colour that's not in accordance to Sikhi bana?

wow, im just gettin into raags, not heard many but of those i have, i love.

how can i learn more about them and listen to more as my search on youtube does not get very far.

thanku ji.

Bhenji, follow this link:

http://www.jawadditaksal.org/index.php/General/raag-siri.html

There is an index of all 31 Raags on the left hand side. When you click on any notation image...a window/tab opens for the audio of that particular shabad.

I personally found it a wonderful compilation!

Sri Raag! :l:

My most favourite audio track of Sri Raag is sung by Bibi Geeta Kaur Pental. I believe she's from Jawaddi Taksal.
