vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw!
vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!
A kirpan was given to us by guru sahib for self defence for us and for others! And only that and not to use at anytimes. We only pull out our siri sahib when ALL ELSE FAILS. When you are in a situation, guru kirpa dis doesnt happen, but when u r and u use all da skills u have well it be da karate u learned in high school, or the playful fights u have wit ur dad, when all else fails and u know u only see death in front of u, only then pull out your siri sahib.And about the little kirpans, and the big ones, dont matter what the size is .. when guru does his kirpa on u that little 2 inch siri sahib of yours will turn into a very lethal weapon
Of course, you are right!

Please forgive me if I am wrong, but I think I recall that Guru Gobind Singh Ji had a small gold kirpaan (2 inch blade?), one that he NEVER used (it was purely symbolic).
So if Guruji never used that, should we?

It seems to be more of just a loophole... if it ain't a 'religious symbol', then they can still wear it...
Although common sense would dictate that would be even LESS of a reason to have it .

Good point Pheena. But I do think that that langar does have bhog done to it (in a separate ardas). Am I right?

Right on moorakh mugadh veerji! Marrage isn't supposed to be something that you can just randomly hope works out well, it probably won't. If you are too different...

Although I see that most here are of the opinion that it is important to keep all of the Khakars on at all times, I do see the point of kirpakaro.
Sikhi is about rejecting the ritualistic methods that hindus had maintained in India for so long... but in a way some that take amrit may be keeping their khakkars on all the time... but not know why? For those people, it HAS become a ritual. :e:

I think one of the most powerful aspects of the SGGS is the fact that it is not partisan - it has shabads from many people and applies to all religions and faiths.
Its really cool that although many people say that their holy book says something whereas other holy books say something totally different on the same subject, no one can pick out ANYTHING in our 11th Guru that is not totally true! (even those of other faiths!)

Yeah, Gurps is right. I know a few people out there who have taken Amrit but who really don't follow it to its intent . ON the other hand, I know many people who are more faithful than me but haven't taken Amrit either.

They are a youth group in Calgary. They use to do many activities including drug awareness programs and youth kirtan programs. A few years back they did a sikh awareness presentation at their university for which they received an award. They were probably one of the best youth groups I have seen in any country.
That was then. Today the Dasmesh Mission is nearly non-existent. It has become just a weekly kirtan group. I know a few of the founding members who have told me that the new generation of youths has not continued with the same motivation and that is why the group is slowly vanishing.

Sadly, I know of several Sikh youth groups which have slowly gone that way.
But thank you for enlightening me!

Could someone please enlighten me?

Yeah, I can't believe that a Sikh could think such a thing. Sikhism is a modern religion and we of all people are supposed to show compassion towards the disabled...

Yeah, there are a lot of political problems at gurdwara. The sad thing is that as people get more apathetic towards Sikhi, more monas are taking over gurdwara positions. Thats stupid cause youth look up to these people, and when they see Monas everywhere, they just fall into the crowd so easily... its so sad!

I agree with balwinderkaur. I think that if Nitnem is missed because of illness or your incapacity to do it for some major reason, Waheguru will certainly forgive you because you did try your best. But if you just don't do it for no reason, than thats a big pop.

My god, something as great as that paraded by a bunch of drunks... its an insult to everything the gurus fought for.

..just to add to ssk's point. Perhaps it's the labelling that causes all the problems. Instead of saying it's an AKJ program or a Sadh Sangat Program or a Taksali Program, maybe we should drop the labels and just say "Live Broadcast of Samagum"
totally correct

The Sangat in Edmonton follows Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee.
No doubt about that!

I seriously don't believe the intent of this conversation was to shorten Mool Mantar in any way. The way I see it, It doesn't matter which form of the 'mantar' you recite, as long as it is done with the heart, that is all that matters.
As to my personal opinion, the Guru Granth Sahib has within it written many times "Ik Onkaar Sat GurPrasad".
That is in fact a short form for:
Ik Onkaar, Satnaam, Kartapurkh, Nirbhao, Nirvair, Akaal Moorat, Ajooni, Sai Bhang, Gurparsad.
If that itself has any significance, it might be to show us what exactly the mool mantar really is. :e:

I agree. Just that I really don't like the idea of saying conflict is the answer to everything!! Diplomacy must ALWAYS prevail, especially when we are dealing with a country like France. If you start attacking people like some have suggested in this forum topic, the blood only fuels more blood... and no offence, but the last thing that Sikhs need is a bad rep. like the Muslims have now.
fateh!
