Swami Ramakrishan Parmhans - The Film A very accurate portrayal of Shri Ramakrishna's life and that of his disciples. Kanu Banerji stars as Sri Ramakrishna in this old film of Sri Ramakrishna's life. English subtitles have been added as the soundtrack is in Bengali.

Its very sad to hear of the news that the great sitar player Pandit Ravi Shankar has passed away today. Please all dedicate this thread to him, a man who made indian classical music famous in the west and was much loved by people of all religions and castes. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2246812/Ravi-Shankar-introduced-The-Beatles-sitar-father-Norah-Jones-dies-aged-92.html

Baba Isher Singh Ji Kaleranvale once a Granthi Singh put nitnem casette on and himself went back to sleep. Baba Ji said that Kaljug nu phal milgeya - i.e, Kaljug will take the fruits of this prayer because your sadhan is via a computer and you are not doing it yourself. Computers audio players etc are the creations of kaljug. Baba Nand Singh Ji said the firts thing kaljug will do is stop you from Nitnem. When you lose your nitnem then its all downhill from there on. So be steadfast and after nitnem do ardas he maharaj bhul chuk maaf karni.

And since when did you guys know what Sikhi teachings are. Of course you CANNOT do your nitnem by just listening to it on a computer. The maryada is sitting on the floor cross legged with a parna/hazuria around you neck and read the 5 banis with love and concentration from a Gutka Sahib. Even from memory isn't emphazised unless you are doing as lot of Gurbani abyaas. Keep your eyes focused on the Guru Shabad. Let your ears hear your recital. If i don';t see the Gurbani akhar i feel unwell and seperated. The Guru's darshan is essential. Too many new ages hoody khalsa's with their mp3 players glued to their ears. This isnt nitnem, this isn't abyaas that will bear fruit. Its only sharia law - o'h ive done my 5 bania know i can act like a bad man for the rest of the day.

The earliest Sikh historian out of the ones mentioned above is Bhai Gurdas Ji, being during the times of the 4th and 5th Guru Sahibaan. Bhai Bala only came into contact with Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji when they were alraedu quite mature. So how would they know for sure the birth date of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Therefore most authority is in his statement. I also go along with the bachan of Baba Nand Singh Ji Kaleravale, who state kathak ki pooranmashi.

in the second picture posted by N30 Singh on the left is sant jagjit singh ji harkoval and below him is Sant Naranjan Singh also present are sant hari singh kahapurwale and baba harbans singh domelivale. Again these sant sanmelans were in relation to the great crisis that ocurred during the 60's such as the changing of ardas and rejection of Raga Mala aswell as SGPC deciding to change the structure of Gurbani and had printed 100000 swaroops in the manner. Could somebody tell me who the naked sadhu are?

From 38:00 minutes absolutely beautiful

In that case this video is a good point to start of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS_aXgTYIZc

the deep aspects of brahmgyaan

Cold ishnaan is good but you cant have it all the time like every day. Once or twice a week is good. Also having a shower and jumping into a challa (large pool) like they have in India are two different things. If i had a challa here i would just jump into it and then move your body around this is an amazing buzz. Under a shower can sometimes feel like torture. Benefits i have noticed are stronger bones and betetr skin. Gives strenght to your muscles, good for your senses to mention a few.

its not made, basically it is iron ore. Pure 100 percent natural metal

Qualities of a Magnetic Personality By Paramhansa Yogananda Each human being is a medium through which God’s magnetism flows, but humans allow many things to obstruct that magnetism, and very few people are truly magnetic. However, the right kind of magnetic power can be developed. We may hear someone say, “Oh, I met a friend who is so magnetic; he inspired me and expanded my consciousness.” This is the kind of magnetic power that we all want – attracting, uplifting and expanding. This type of magnetic power is a quality of Spirit. It expands the consciousness but does not stupefy it, as does hypnosis or animal magnetism. Magnetic power comes from within Our magnetism is determined by our habitual attitudes and actions. To become magnetic to others, you must make yourself attractive from within. Sattwic actions, including meditative activities, are those that help you realize the pure image of the Self within. Someone with a sattwic personality is sincere, kind, accepting, and possessed of great self-control – qualities that are highly magnetic and produce a good effect on oneself and others. Positive behavior, control of speech, and kind words are qualities which clothe the soul in spiritual magnetism. Ego-inspired attitudes and actions obstruct the free flow of one’s energy and are demagnetizing. The mental habit of criticizing others, regardless of whether the criticism is gentle or severe, has a darkening effect on the consciousness and drags a person down into greater delusion. When you occupy your mind with an unholy interest in the failings of others, you also rouse and stimulate your own pre-natal bad habits. Try not to give in to moods. The darkness of moods will invariably be reflected in your facial expressions. The best cure for a bad mood is to try to do something that will raise your energy level and put you in a good mood. Always stay away from people in ugly moods, to prevent them from spreading to you their epidemic of inharmony. It is easy to see the faults of others but very difficult to see your own faults and to conduct yourself properly. If you can find your own faults without developing an inferiority complex, and can keep busy correcting yourself, then you will be using your time much more profitably than wishing others to be better. Your good example will do more to change others than your words or wishful thinking. Like attracts like. Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself, then you will find others responding in like manner to you. If you want to be loved, start loving others who need your love. If you expect others to be honest with you, then start being honest yourself. If you want others to sympathize with you, start showing sympathy to those around you. If you want to be respected, you must learn to be respectful to everyone, both young and old. If you want a display of peace from others, you must be peaceful yourself. Sincerity is a quality of all highly magnetic souls. All the great ones – Jesus, Buddha, Babaji possess this quality. Many people, to gain fame or outward success in the world, sacrifice their sincerity and self-respect, but they never derive real satisfaction from the achievement of their longed-for goals. Man’s nature is many-sided and demands all-around development, which includes being sincere and truthful at all times. Be sincere with all and above all, be sincere with yourself. Watch your thoughts to be sure they are right. When your thoughts are right, sincere and helpful words, and good deeds, will naturally follow. Carry the vibration of sincerity with you wherever you go. People will feel this vibration. Sincere, sweet words are nectar to thirsty souls. They contribute to the happiness of people in the home, in social outings, in churches, and in business offices. Above all, never forget to smile, not the mask-like smile without truth and sincerity behind it, but the sincere, radiant smile that comes from a light, joyful heart, which belongs only to the “good” and cannot be worn by the wicked. Learn to emanate sincere smiles and to wear the glow of sincerity on your face. Consideration for others is a wonderful quality and gives you the greatest attractiveness. Practice it! Consideration for others means being aware of them, listening to them, and being attentive to their needs. Try to develop an intuitive awareness of the needs of others. Let your supreme goal be to make others happy in order to gain happiness for yourself. Take a genuine interest in the problems of others. Every time you meet a receptive human being, make him feel your interest in his physical, mental, and spiritual welfare. Never neglect to do whatever you can for yourself in the forms of others. Live by the principle, “Each for all and all for each.” In getting for yourself, you must get for others too. Remember that whatever you do attracts those same actions to yourself. If you set the example of selfishness, people will practice selfishness on you, but whatever you freely give to others with love, yields an ever-increasing harvest of happiness. Find happiness in helping Exercise extreme vigilance in maintaining your self-control at all times. You must be able to put on at will the apparel of your best disposition whenever you come across people with combative mentalities. Above all, be so peaceful that nobody can get your goat. It is human weakness to get angry and scold, but it shows divine strength to be able to hold the reins over the wild steeds of your temper and speech. No matter what the provocation may be, behave yourself and by calm silence or genuinely kind words, show that your kindness is more powerful than the other person’s ugliness. Civility, heartfelt courtesy, and continuous good will are the panacea for all bad behavior. You can teach your quick-tempered friends and dear ones to mend their faults through the example of your own magnetic, peace-loving behavior a million times better than by harsh words. If you remain even-minded by holding a calm disposition and, at the same time, are both forgiving and firm in your own principles, then you will inspire the wrong-doers to reform themselves. Divine magnetism is the power of all powers. By meditating regularly, you become increasingly charged with the pure magnetism of God. Think of God so constantly that He is with you wherever you go. When you meditate and live in the consciousness that you are God’s child, you gradually dissolve all inharmonious emotions and vibrations. Always keep in tune with the Divine Magnetic Power. When your prayer bursts from your heart and God gives up His vow of silence and speaks to you — you will have gained divine magnetism

Human Rights Campaign Group To Submit Petition Calling For An End To The Death Penalty In India December 02, 2012 London UK – Human rights group Kesri Lehar shall be handing a 118,000 signatory petition to Downing Street on the 10th December calling on Prime Minister David Cameron to work towards abolishing capital punishment in India. A 6 person delegation plus cross party political representatives will submit the petition which calls for an Early Day Motion debate in Parliament urging the UK to press India for the abolition of the death penalty and for it to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the UN Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhumane or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which encompasses the death penalty. It is expected that this will be debated in the House of Commons around the time of March 2013. The 10th December is also Human Rights Day, an opportunity every year to celebrate human rights, highlight a specific issue, and advocate for the full enjoyment of all human rights by everyone everywhere. This year the spotlight is on the rights of all people - women, youth, minorities, persons with disabilities, indigenous people, the poor and marginalized - to make their voices heard in public life and be included in political decision-making. About Kesri Lehar The Kesri Lehar meaning wave for justice is seeking to end all human rights abuses perpetrated by the Indian government and to bring to justice those responsible for such acts. Currently at least 50 death sentences are passed every year by the Indian courts, however, following the events of early 2012 in India where Mr Balvant Singh Rajoana was due to be hanged to death having already served 17 years imprisonment, an international outcry occurred resulting in the creation of the Kesri Lehar Campaign. Working with other groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, some of its aims are for the purpose of lobbying the House of Commons to hold a debate on the ongoing and disturbing human rights atrocities in India and the lack of response by the government to address these issues. Exposing the Sikh Genocide of 1984 and the wide spread increase in custodial rapes in India and the gang rape of girls and women, throughout India by the police, paramilitary and military forces are also its prime objectives. Other projects are intended to guide and empower the next generation to give them a better understanding of government and politics. Kesri Lehar has aligned with several National and International NGO's and MP's and MEP's throughout the UK to guide young human rights activists in the need and manner to lobby and manage projects, to achieve pre-intended targets and objectives ensuring the success of Kesri Lehar in years to come.
