Please Bros and Sis, If you want to help. Email the foundation and be professional. We need to act on this. Being an online Gangster won't help the situation...so please save all the swearing and the dirty remarks and send a positive email with facts to the Centennial Foundation .

These are quoted from an interview he had with Jagpal Singh Tiwana

For being one of the most well known Sikh literary internationally and for his contribution to Sikh Lifestyle ...

Vaheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguroo Ji Ki Fateh!!! I recently found out from a Singh that Khushwant Singh is being honored by Centennial Foundation. As many of us know Khushwant Singh doesn't even consider sikhism as a distinct religion. He claims that sikhs are keshdhari hindus and in many of his articles, he has insulted mahaan shaheeds of the panth . He also blatantly states that he's a wine lover. Please Khalsa ji, take some time to contact the Centennial Foundation and let them know that such a person shouldn't be honored as a Sikh. Clearly its a failure to honor someone such as him and give him the status of a role model for our young Sikh brothers and sisters.

What are the "Nau-Nidh" (Nine treasures of wealth)? Gurmukh Singh – Panthic Weekly Columnist Gurbaani is essentially poetry. To convey the message effective language tools were needed to explain to individuals the message of Vaheguru. These included using metaphors, imagery and similes. Guru Ji drew upon the culture, beliefs and ambient practices of the society when Gurbaani was revealed to help explain to the common folk the universal message of Truth. Therefore, to fully understand the message of Gurbaani a person needs to have knowledge of the culture, mythology and languages of the Indian sub-continent, which combined with the aforementioned language tools and grammar allows one to fully understand in correct context what Guru Ji is saying. As a result of ignorance of the latter mentioned points one can sometimes misread and misunderstand the message of Gurbaani. This week’s article will focus on what are the ਨਉਨਿਧਿ (Nau-nidh), translating to mean ‘nine treasures of wealth’. This term is mentioned in the Ardaas ( recited daily by Sikhs) and in Gurbaani. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the Tenth Guru, writes the first part of Ardaas. Guru Ji ends this verse by writing: ਤੇਗ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਸਿਮਰਿਐ, ਘਰ ਨਉਨਿਧਿ ਆਵੈ ਧਾਇ॥ ਸਬ ਥਾਈਂ ਹੋਇ ਸਹਾਇ॥ "Remember and meditate upon (Guru) Teg Bahadur; and then nine sources of wealth will come hastening to your home. (O Respected Gurus!) kindly help us everywhere." ‘Nau Nidh’ appears in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 39 times. According to Indian thought traditionally Nau Nidheeaa(n) or Nine treasures are described as the following: 1. ‘Padam’ – gold, silver, and the like 2. ‘Mahaan Padam’ – gems, jewels etc 3. ‘Sankh’ – delicious things to eat 4. ‘Makar’ – training in the use of arms 5. ‘Kachhap’ – clothes, corn and the like 6. ‘Kund’ – dealings in gold 7. ‘Neel’ – trading in gems and jewels 8. ‘Mukand’ – mastery of the fine arts 9. ‘Kharab’ or ‘Warch’ – riches of all kinds In the context of Gurbaani the Nau-Nidh or nine sources of wealth are related to ‘Naam’ (the Lord’s Name). ਆਪਿ ਸੁਜਾਣੁ ਨ ਭੁਲਈ ਸਚਾ ਵਡ ਕਿਰਸਾਣੁ ॥ ਪਹਿਲਾ ਧਰਤੀ ਸਾਧਿ ਕੈ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇ ਦਾਣੁ ॥ ਨਉ ਨਿਧਿ ਉਪਜੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਏਕੁ ਕਰਮਿ ਪਵੈ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ॥2॥ "The True Lord Vaheguru knows all; He makes no mistakes. He is the Great Farmer of the Universe. First, He prepares the ground, and then He plants the Seed of the True Name. The nine treasures are produced from Name of the One Lord. By His Grace, we obtain His Banner and Insignia. ||2||" (Ang 19, SGGS) ਮੈ ਛਡਿਆ ਸਭੋ ਧੰਧੜਾ ॥ ਗੋਸਾਈ ਸੇਵੀ ਸਚੜਾ ॥ ਨਉ ਨਿਧਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਮੈ ਪਲੈ ਬਧਾ ਛਿਕਿ ਜੀਉ ॥8॥ ਮੈ ਸੁਖੀ ਹੂੰ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਗੁਰਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਵਸਾਇਆ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਪੁਰਖਿ ਵਿਖਾਲਿਆ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਧਰਿ ਕੈ ਹਥੁ ਜੀਉ ॥9॥ "I have forsaken all my entanglements; I serve the True Lord of the Universe. I have firmly attached the Name, the Home of the Nine Treasures to my robe. ||8|| I have obtained the comfort of comforts. The Guru has implanted the Word of the Shabad deep within me. The True Guru has shown me my Husband Lord Vaheguru; He has placed His Hand upon my forehead. ||9||" (Ang 73, SGGS) ਸਬਦੈ ਸਾਦੁ ਜਾਣਹਿ ਤਾ ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣਹਿ ॥ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦਿ ਵਖਾਣਹਿ ॥ ਸਚੇ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਨਿ ਨਉ ਨਿਧਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਵਣਿਆ ॥5॥ "Those who know the essence of the Shabad, understand their own selves. Immaculate is the speech of those who chant the Word of the Shabad. Serving the True One, they find a lasting peace; they enshrine the nine treasures of the Naam within their minds. ||5||" (Ang 115, SGGS) It is clear from reading Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji that the Nine treasures or Nine sources of wealth mentioned in the Ardaas in fact refers to the ਨਾਮ ਰੂਪ ਦੌਲਤ, the wealth of Naam rather than being concerned with the Nine things which are believed to be treasures and sources of wealth according to the traditional beliefs of the Indian subcontinent in themselves. ਮ: 5 ॥ ਵਿਣੁ ਤੁਧੁ ਹੋਰੁ ਜਿ ਮੰਗਣਾ ਸਿਰਿ ਦੁਖਾ ਕੈ ਦੁਖ ॥ ਦੇਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੀਆ ਉਤਰੈ ਮਨ ਕੀ ਭੁਖ ॥ ਗੁਰਿ ਵਣੁ ਤਿਣੁ ਹਰਿਆ ਕੀਤਿਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਿਆ ਮਨੁਖ ॥2॥ "Fifth Mehl: To ask (from You) for any other than You, Vaheguru, is the most miserable of miseries. Please bless me with the Naam, Your Name, and make me content; may the hunger of my mind be satisfied. The Guru has made the dried woods and jungles and meadows has made them green again. O Nanak, is it any wonder that Vaheguru also makes human beings green and blessed as well ||2||" (Ang 958, SGGS) Gurmukh Singh can be reached at gurmukh.singh@panthic.org source (The Panthic Weekly www.panthic.org): http://www.panthic.org/news/129/ARTICLE/1463/2005-06-26.html

U look awesome Singh keep it up :lol:

im not canadian Bhai Sahib Ji :lol:

and ear plugs...hehe

not necessarily, it all comes down to who's running the business and if their aim is solely to make money . I remember in BC there was this pizza place where only amritdhari Singhs make the pizza..Correct me if I am wrong.

Don't worry I hear there's an AMRITDHARI RESTAURANT COMING SOON in the Future!!!

Thanks for sharing your experiance jio...Jss veerji and Maltonk..U singhs were in India too Please share your experiances also

Vaheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguroo Ji Ki Fateh Pyario, A decision like this is only upto u. You have to decide what you want to be doing and where your interests lies. Both Professions are good.....and if U take the qualities a sikh should have into any profession ...it will be very fruitful for the society on the whole...but If u can't figure out what u want ...then do ardas and take a hukumnama from Guru Sahib. I am sure he's going to help you make your decision.

Vahegurooo I think you really hit it with this post bhai sahib. I think the moderators need to act on these kinda things. I know its a hard task moderating but we can't have alot of these wack views on sikhism thats being allowed to go through. All the hate and the name calling flying around...Vahegurooooo Vaheguroooo...

Guruvah, You got to realise that KHALSA (Daljeet Singh)'s intention was to just get information on why Tapoban phorums didn't promote other events. I agree he should have asked them. But you have no right blaming him for stuff said by anyone else. I know KHALSA personally and Im sure that wasn't his intention to make if a big CHUGLI FETE ... Btw this post is a couple of months old. So take note of that too. Vahegurooo Ji Ka Khalsa Vahegurooo Ji KI Fateh

I agree with Singhavelli. If someones got a problem with Tapoban forum, Discuss it there, if they got a problem with Sikhiunleashed discuss it there. You come on here and push your thoughts . What's that going to do? You come across making it seem like a. big forum competition . Talk to them ...tell them what you don't agree with...if they dont listen then stop going there if its affecting you so much... Increase the peace. Spread the love. We all brothers and sisters man.

even though i thought him :nihungsmile:
