Chanting, deep meditation and austere self-disciplined practices are all wasted; he is deceived by the love of duality. He is bound and gagged at the door of the Messenger of Death. He is beaten, and receives terrible punishment. ||1|| Third Mehla: They inflict their hatred upon the Saints, and they love the wicked sinners. They find no peace in either this world or the next; they are born only to die, again and again. Their hunger is never satisfied, and they are ruined by duality. The faces of these slanderers are blackened in the Court of the True Lord. O Nanak, without the Naam, they find no shelter on either this shore, or the one beyond. ||2|| Pauree: Those who meditate on the Lord's Name, are imbued with the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in their minds. For those who worship the One Lord in their conscious minds, there is no other than the One Lord. They alone serve the Lord, upon whose foreheads such pre-ordained destiny is written. They continually sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and singing the Glories of the Glorious Lord, they are uplifted. Great is the greatness of the Gurmukhs, who, through the Perfect Guru, remain absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||17|| Sri Guru Dasam Granth Sahib Ji - ਚਾਮਰ ਛੰਦ ॥ CHAAMAR STANZA ਸ਼ਸਤ੍ਰ ਅਸਤ੍ਰ ਲੈ ਸਕੋਪ ਬੀਰ ਬੋਲਿ ਕੈ ਸਭੈ ॥ ਕੋਪ ਓਪ ਦੈ ਹਠੀ ਸੁ ਧਾਇ ਕੈ ਪਰੇ ਸਭੈ ॥ All the warriors in their fury, took their arms and weapons in their hands, moved forward with persistence and shouting loudly fell upon the opponents; ਕਾਨ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਨ ਬਾਨ ਤਾਨ ਤਾਨ ਤੋਰ ਹੀ ॥ ਸੁ ਝੂਝ ਝੂਝ ਕੈ ਪਰੈ ਨ ਨੈਕ ਮੁਖ ਮੋਰਹੀ ॥੩੭੮॥ The pulled their bows upto their ears and discharged their arrows and without moving backward even slightly they fought and fell.378. ਬਾਨ ਪਾਨ ਲੇ ਸਭੈ ਸਕ੍ਰੁੱਧ ਸੂਰਮਾ ਚਲੇ ॥ ਬੀਨ ਬੀਨ ਜੇ ਲਏ ਪ੍ਰਬੀਨ ਬੀਰਹਾ ਭਲੇ ॥ Taking angrily there bows an arrows in there hand they moved and the worriers were killed silectivly; ਸ਼ੰਕ ਛੋਰ ਕੈ ਭਿਰੈ ਨਿਸ਼ੰਕ ਘਾਇ ਡਾਰਹੀ ॥ ਸੁ ਅੰਗ ਭੰਗ ਹੁਇ ਗਿਰੈਂ ਨ ਜੰਗ ਤੇ ਪਧਾਰਹੀ ॥੩੭੯॥ They were all fearlessly inflicting wounds and their limbs are falling down, but still they did not run away from the battlefield.379.

i think we've forgotten one main usage of our kirpan.......to do bhog. now, can you do bhog with a gun? i don't think so it's not all about fighting lol

cheers for the reply! i rate everyone nowadays that are promoting and teaching traditional raag kirtan! but there were and are kirtan programs that are in performed in front of the sangat of Sants and Mahapurkhs, such as Sant Baba Puran Singh Ji and Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji....and the kirtan sung hasn't been in raag! if i am right, believing we should sing kirtan in the raag given by Maharaj, then why did these Sants allow kirtan to be sung in a different raag? is raag therefore not as important? (people that "are in charge" of) Guruduare in the world allow kirtan to be sung in different raags, as to those prescribed by Maharaj...are they wrong in allowing this? is the promotion and allowance of kirtan not sung in raag as bad?

Is it just me......or is raag a must! we can talk about all these different styles of kirtan, but if the shabads sung are not in raag then isn't is going against Maharaj's Hukum? i've been going through old topics that talk about we should not say other styles of kirtan are wrong....but we are not here to judge, but to follow Maharaj's Hukum! has this tradition, of not only listening to Maharaj's commands but singing in the correct format (raag) been lost throughout the world? it's virtually changing Gurbani! for example, people singing in raag bhairo instead of raag raamkali, have literally changed what Maharaj is trying to tell us! i've heard many people saying "it's not abut raag, but singing with pyaar"....but how can we sing with pyaar if we are not listening to what Maharaj is trying to tell us! to be honest the number of raagis out there that sing in the raag ordered by Maharaj are vastly outnumbered to those that do not sing in raag! i've been having this argument for a long time now.....and now it just seems to look like i'm wrong! for example, people like Giani Amolak Singh Ji did not use to sing or teach kirtan in raag all the time, but look how many people got anand from singing along with them. am i wrong to believe that we should sing a shabad in the raag that Maharaj has written it in? is it just me?

brilliant replies! thanks for the information! i was wondering if you may have some recordings of shabads in Sri Sarbloh Granth Sahib being sung in either Dhrupad or Khyaal?

Does anybody have a translation for "Vaar Maal Kous Ki" please? and does anyone have any information about "khyal"? as in the beginning of the shabad "mithr piaare noo haal moreedhaa dhaa kehinaa". cheers

do they not speak to us in the form of Hukumnameh? do they not hear our Ardaas? do we not touch their feet with our forehead, and pray that we can stay in their charan kamal? our Guru Ji clearly has a mouth, ears, and feet

This month's competition theme is: Dastaars Be imaginative, and keep up the good work! The winner of this month will receive 8 metres of Akali Blue Mul Mul Dastaar Material!

Well done to everyone who has participated in this month's competition! Probably the best and hardest competition to judge so far.....and it's only going to get better! The winners are: 1st - 2nd - 3rd -

"Now I know why sikhsangat is for kids." - yup well done, thank you for judgung us! if you don't like to see other people talking about MJ's death, then why are you still commenting on this thread? talk about looking for an argument... :rolleyes: if you don't really have any sort of respect for other people's views or interests, then you should really keep it to yourself.......or create your own thread continuing your ideas of sikhsangat "being kids" for enjoying MJ's music... i do agree though that this thread should be moved to the global events section

wait so u can have threads like the "off topic thread" and the "i admit..." one but u can't have one about MJ coz it's not related to sikhi? :6 R.I.P MJ http://www.flickr.com/photos/14038325@N03/3661368940/

WJKK WJKF Next months competition is to provide the best shot you have of a Gurudwara... anywhere in the world! We choose it as it is a simple task, allowing everyone to get involved easily. A lot of you may have exams at the moment, but can still participate this way (Good Luck btw) In the future we may have more inventive ideas, and hope you'll have the time to go out and experiment Let's be creative!
