  1. It looks like this word has been used in Faridkot teeka

    Any 136

    ਅਠਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਸਗਲ ਪੁੰਨ ਜੀਅ ਦਇਆ ਪਰਵਾਨੁ   

    ਅਠਾਹਠਂ ਤੀਰਥੋਂ ਕੇ ਇਸਨਾਨ ਅਰ ਸਭ ਪੁੰਨੋਂ ਕੇ (ਪਰਵਾਨੁ) ਸਦਰਸ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਜੀਵੋਂ ਪਰ ਵਾ ਆਪਨੇ ਜੀਵ ਪਰ ਦਯਾ ਕਰਨੀ ਹੈ॥

     

    Looks like it means parvaan if I have understood correctly.

     

    However there is also the following where Faridkot has used the same but here it seems it's been used to mean "other" or "second" if I have understood correctly, unless it means greater or foremost?

    ਆਪੇ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਏ ਕਰਤਾ ਅਵਰੁ  ਦੂਜਾ ਤੁਝੈ ਸਰੇ ॥੯॥  (Ang 552)

    ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਸਭ ਕੁਛ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਕਰਤਾ ਕਰਾਉਤਾ ਹੈ ਔਰ ਦੂਸਰਾ ਕੋਈ (ਸਰੇ) ਸਮਾਨ (ਤੁਝੈ) ਤਿਸ ਕੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ ਵਾ ਹੇ ਕਰਤਾ ਤੂੰ ਸਭ ਕਛੁ ਆਪ ਹੈਂ (ਤੁਝੇ) ਤੇਰੇ ਸਦਰਸ ਹੋਰੁ ਕੋਈ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ ਇਸੀ ਤ੍ਰਹ ਸੇ ਸਭ ਪਦ ਸਨਮੁਖ ਲਗਤੇ ਹੈਂ॥੯॥

     

    Faridkot teeka has used this word quite a bit, I think it has been used slightly differently at different times. If you put the following search in Google, you can find all the instances the word has been used in Faridkot teeka:

    "ਸਦਰਸ site:srigranth.org" (without the speech marks)

  2. Ignore the translation, the exact rehat is not to do "par istree da sang", meaning not to have sexual relations with a woman that is not yours/someone else's. The only way that a woman can be considered yours and not "par istree" is if you have had Anand karaj to her. So yes sex with anyone that is not your wife (whether you are married or not) is a bajjar kurehit. The moment this has taken place, a person ceases to be a Sikh and Guru Sahib's hand is no longer on that person's head. Such a person no longer has any rishta with Guru Sahib any more and they must confess this bajjar kurehit to the Panj pyare, accept and carry out the punishment given to them and re-receive Amrit.

  3. In short, using ATM is not the best option.  If you open a Punjab national Bank (PBN) account here in the UK, it is considered different to an account opened in India and in short you don't have any support or service for it there. The most I could do with my PBN account was withdraw some money daily which was limited to a certain amount allowed to be withdrawn each day. 

    There are currency changers in Punjab such as Thomas Cook which can change it for you. You can change some money at the airport but don't change too much money there as the rate is usually not great.

    One way is to have your money sent by Western Union to Punjab, although when you go to the post office to collect your money, they will ask you for a photocopy of your passport and a copy of proof of your address in India (a hotel bill is acceptable to).

  4. I know someone this has happened to, they were ill for a long time and didn't manage to comb their hair. So I helped him to sort it. It was really badly matted hair that looked impossible to sort out but guru kirpa we managed it. First do ardaas. Then you will need to get LOADS of coconut oil. What you should do is keep applying loads of coconut oil again and again and you will have to use your FINGERS to separate each hair. You will probably need to spend along time like more than an hour of not 2 hours to to do this. Only after you have separated them from each other should you try to comb.

    If you live in the UK and really need help and can't do this, get in touch and I will personally help you. It would be awful to see someone have to cut their hair over this.

  5. This guy is a joke. A few years back he was living in London like a typical freshie boy trying to make it in Southall. Guess it didn't work out so he thought it would be more profitable to go back home and become a baba.

    There pics of him being matha tek etc.

    There are some pics speculating that he has also trimmed his mucha

  6. waheguru ji ka khalsa

    Waheguru ji Ki fateh

    Can any one please clear my doubts

    In dasam granth Guru Gobind Singh ji saying

    ਪੁਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਮਾਨੰਦ ਕੋ ਕਰਾ ॥ ਭੇਸ ਬੈਰਾਗੀ ਕੋ ਜਿਨਿ ਧਰਾ ॥

    ਕੰਠੀ ਕੰਠਿ ਕਾਠ ਕੀ ਡਾਰੀ ॥ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਆ ਨ ਕਛੂ ਬਿਚਾਰੀ ॥੨੫॥

    ਭਾਵ ਕੀ ਰਾਮਾਨੰਦ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦੀ ਕਿ੍ਰਆ ਕੁਛ ਨ ਬਿਚਾਰੀ।

    Then there's is bani of Bhagat Ramanand JI in dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib

    ਰਾਮਾਨੰਦ ਜੀ ਘਰੁ ੧

    ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

    ਕਤ ਜਾਈਐ ਰੇ ਘਰ ਲਾਗੋ ਰੰਗੁ ॥ ਮੇਰਾ ਚਿਤੁ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਮਨੁ ਭਇਓ ਪੰਗੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

    ਏਕ ਦਿਵਸ ਮਨ ਭਈ ਉਮੰਗ ॥ ਘਸਿ ਚੰਦਨ ਚੋਆ ਬਹੁ ਸੁਗੰਧ ॥

    ਪੂਜਨ ਚਾਲੀ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਠਾਇ ॥ ਸੋ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬਤਾਇਓ ਗੁਰ ਮਨ ਹੀ ਮਾਹਿ ॥੧॥

    ਜਹਾ ਜਾਈਐ ਤਹ ਜਲ ਪਖਾਨ ॥ ਤੂ ਪੂਰਿ ਰਹਿਓ ਹੈ ਸਭ ਸਮਾਨ ॥

    ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਸਭ ਦੇਖੇ ਜੋਇ ॥ ਊਹਾਂ ਤਉ ਜਾਈਐ ਜਉ ਈਹਾਂ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥੨॥

    ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮੈ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਤੋਰ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਸਕਲ ਬਿਕਲ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਕਾਟੇ ਮੋਰ ॥

    ਰਾਮਾਨੰਦ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਰਮਤ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਕਾਟੈ ਕੋਟਿ ਕਰਮ ॥੩॥੧॥

    If I'm not mistaken is guru gobind Singh Maharaj talking about same Bhagat ramanand ji in Guru Granth Sahib or some one eles

    The section in Sri Dasam Granth that you are quoting from is the part where Vaheguroo is talking about the various sadhus, religious leaders, prophets, etc. that were on earth prior to Satguru Nanak manifesting in human form. It is written in chronological order, with each prophet/saint being mentioned in the order that they came to Earth. It is impossible for the Ramanand mentioned in Sri Dasam Granth to be the same blessed Bhagat Ramanand Jee whose bani is in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee as the Ramanand in this passage appears BEFORE Islam's prophet Muhammed. Muhammed was born in 570 CE while our Bhagat Ramanand Jee was born in the 14th Century, long after Muhammed's death. The Ramanand talked about here in Dasam Granth is definitely someone different.

  7. It is insanity and an insult to call a random selection of 5 people panj pyare. True panj pyare take on the form of Guroo Sahib and are in fact collectively sitting on the Gaddi of the eternal Satguroo for the time that they are assembled as the Panj. This is seen only and only as tyaar bar tyaar khalse(I.e resembling Guroo Sahib in spiritual inner state (kamayee), lifestyle (rehat) and appearance as much as possible. Frankly this is disgusting and those who have taken part in such an activity are tankhayiha as far as I am concerned. Had this taken place in India, the organisers would have been summoned to pesh at Sri Akal Takht Sahib by now.

    Sure they may have wanted to have an interfaith event which is fine, but to say that they have gone too far would be an understatement.

    It is also very ignorant to say that now that a ceremony has taken place their journey has ended. Guroo Sahib has very clearly taught us that on death the soul simply leaves the body and moves on. Guroo Sahib writes in Gurbani that let alone cremation, it doesn't make a difference if the body is thrown in water or eaten by dogs!

  8. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

    Sat Sri Akal,

    I am in need of help and feeling very lost and alone right now. Ever since I was a child, I have gone to gurudwara on Sundays with my parents. Neither my parents nor I have taken Amrit, but we've always believed in Sikhism, and I always refer to it in my religion.

    In recent years, I went to university and became distant from Sikhism. This is when my confusion and trouble started. I became too busy to go to gurudwara and started doing the wrong things. I became interested in Islam through my own when I started seeing how many people around me were Muslim. I watched lots of "dawah" or "shahada" videos on youtube and developed a strange fascination and began wondering what if I did the same. I should emphasize that I never believed the teachings of Islam and in every debate between Sikhishm and Islam, I've seen, I never felt that my dear Sikhism was any less than Islam. In fact, I have always considered it my religion and the truth. But today, I went to an Islam chat website and was connected to a girl. I was so curious to see her reaction that I volunteered to take shahada. I typed it back to her, but I never believed what I was typing. But now the deed is done, and I hope with every once of my body that I'm still a Sikh. This is the religion that is dear to my heart and although I lost it in recent years, it's still the one that I believe and want myself to belong to.

    I am just looking for some reassurance and support that the shahada was not authentic and I'm still Sikh. I could never forgive myself for changing all because of a chat with a girl. Please reassure me that I'm Sikh or I truly won't have the will to live anymore.

    The best thing for you to do is to do ardaas... the ardas doesn't even have to be the formal one, just stand up and speak to Guru Sahib. All you have to say is that you forsake all other dharams, faiths, gurus, prophets and leaders and only take the sanctuary of Guru Sahib. You can say this to guroo sahib:

    ਸ੍ਵੈਯਾ ॥

    Swaiyaa

    ਪਾਂਇ ਗਹੇ ਜਬ ਤੇ ਤੁਮਰੇ ਤਬ ਤੇ ਕੋਊ ਆਂਖ ਤਰੇ ਨਹੀ ਆਨਿਯੋ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਰਹੀਮ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਕੁਰਾਨ ਅਨੇਕ ਕਹੈਂ ਮਤਿ ਏਕ ਨ ਮਾਨਿਯੋ ॥

    Paahe gahe jab te tumre tab te kou aankh tare nahi aanyo|| Raam Raheem Puraan Kuraan aneyk kahai mat eyk na maanyo||

    O God ! the day when I caught hold of your feet, I do not bring anyone else under my sight; none other is liked by me now; the Puranas and the Quran try to know Thee by the names of Ram and Rahim and talk about you through several stories, but I do not accept any of their opinions;

    ਸਿੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਬੇਦ ਸਭੈ ਬਹੁ ਭੇਦ ਕਹੈ ਹਮ ਏਕ ਨ ਜਾਨਿਯੋ ॥ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਸਿਪਾਨਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਕਰਿ ਮੈ ਨ ਕਹਿਯੋ ਸਭ ਤੋਹਿ ਬਖਾਨਿਯੋ ॥੮੬੩॥

    Sinmrit Shaastra Bed sabhai bahu bhed kahai ham ek naa jaanyo|| Sri asipaan kripaa tumri kar mai na kahyo sabh tohe bakhaanyo||863||

    The Simritis, Shastras and Vedas describe several mysteries of yours, but I do not agree with any of them. O sword-wielder God! This all has been described by Thy Grace, what power can I have to write all this? (863)

    ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥

    Dohraa

    ਸਗਲ ਦੁਆਰ ਕੋ ਛਾਡਿ ਕੈ ਗਹਿਯੋ ਤੁਹਾਰੋ ਦੁਆਰ ॥ ਬਾਂਹਿ ਗਹੇ ਕੀ ਲਾਜ ਅਸਿ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਦਾਸ ਤੁਹਾਰ ॥੮੬੪॥

    Sagal duaar kau chhaad kai gahyo tuhaaro duaar|| Bahe gahe ki laaj as Gobind daas tuhaar||864||

    O Lord ! I have forsaken all other doors and have caught hold of only Thy door. O Lord ! Thou has caught hold of my arm; I, Govind, am Thy serf, kindly take (care of me and) protect my honour. (864)

    In fact if you read an entire chaupai sahib path before ardas that would be brilliant.

    Best thing is for you to take this as an opportunity for a true change and take amrit.

  9. I have heard that nihang singhs would forcibly remove the kesh of animals who committed such crimes. Reading this article, one can see the sense in such a policy. I am shocked to read that the Sikh community has asked for leniency for this scumbag. To the contrary, now that legal justice has been done, the Sikh community should seek out their own panthic retribution against him as well.

  10. A few things that I have found:

    -Size certainly does not equal sturdiness. In fact in most cases a well tied smaller dumalla is much more sturdy than a large dumalla.

    -Mal mal kapra i very good as it is very 'clingy', so to speak. Use mal map kapra for both dastar and bunga.

    -Tie a bunga into your kes and wrap the remaining material around your head at least three times so that the bunga can act as a keski. As a result you can tie your dumalla straight onto of your bunga without having to tie an extra keski in between. In my experience, tying an extra keski between the bunga and the dastaar makes it less sturdy.

    -As the lars come around the back of your head, tie them as low as possible.

    -Also the most effective thing I have found- When starting their dumalla, most people take a bunched up lar from the top of the head and diagonally bring it down over their ear. Instead of this, you should open up the lar, and bring it across your entire head before covering your ear. The lars will therefore be more horizontal however, this makes the foundations of your dastar very secure around your head.

    -When tying your bunga, try and keep your joora as small as possible. don't even wrap the extra material around your joora to try to make it big, just wrap all of the remaining material around your entire head.

    My dumalla is not very fancy to look at, partly because I just prefer it to look more simple, but also because personally its secureness is more important to me. Generally speaking a more sturdy damalla will end up looking like a goal dastar with a bunga underneath.

    EDIT: Also make sure that you actually put a knot in your joora, and not just curl it into a ball by going round and round.

  11. Not sure if this thread is serious, however I shall answer anyway.

    You have misunderstood the shabad by Bhagat Trllochan jee and the principle in general.

    You have interpreted it almost as if we get given something we wish for. That is not the case. If it was how you are thinking, it would be that someone who dies in kaami thoughts gets reborn to live a life of "enjoyment" with the other gender, however in bhagat jis shabad we are told that such a person takes birth to become a prostitute! Which is not in the least bit an enjoyable life.

    The principle of death thoughts and the next life as per my understanding is that, however you lived your life will affect your mental state at the time of death as you will think about what is held most dear to yourself. What you hold dear is the best indicator of your spiritual state and closeness with God. The more base your desire, eg. lust, food etc. is an indicator of a lower the spiritual state. The highest is of course to remember naam which is proof that inside yourself you love Vaheguroo more than anything which is why Vaheguroo then gives you himself! Anyone with other thoughts obviously has a low if non existant spiritual state and it is their internal avastha which affects where/how they are reborn.

    As for your superman question, for someone to have such a thought at the time of death is an indicator of extreme houmai and also a great love for worldly rass as opposed to naam rass (love for Vaheguroo), which indicates that the person did not have much of or any relationship with Vaheguroo. Instead they were probably involved with worldly rass and entertainment so as a result of such a life they probably would not have a great next janam.
