Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! We are all attached to our lives..at least manmukhs moorakhs like me are.. For someone to give up their live for a cause means that the cause must be a great one..The pics of Saheeds from 1984, or other saheedia in history are there to remind us that those singh's and singhnia gave up their lives so it would be easier for us to follow sikhi. We would have less hassle from whatever opposition because it would be known that Sikhs will give up their lives but NEVER EVER will they give up their sikhi! Paaela maran kabool, Jeevan kee chad aas! Bhul Chuk Maaf! Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Bibek is just not about the food you cannot eat or who it's made by. It's also about the way the found is made. Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh was known as bibeki because he only hungered or thirsted for naam. Siraff Naam. Cheese, butter, bread, cookies, etc that are not made at home are just exceptions. At the end of the day, the less you eat from outside the more you can ensure you food is prepared in a Gursikh way, you are guarantee suchum and if it's bibek it will have the asSAR of naam.. The point is the food should be prepared by Amritdhaari's that keep their rehat and they should really be doing paath or simran. So when this food is consumed that person will also benefit from the naam and simran done by the singh/singhni that has prepared that meal. In turn that singh and singhni will also do naam. Naam is the essence of our lives and that is what we are here to do... If the food is prepared gossiping about things than that is that asSAR that will be on the poeple that eat the food. I hope this helps clarify things a little.. Bhul Chuk Maaf! Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

does this mean that you're not allowed to take off your kacheara and kangha for life? :| Your kakkars are a part of your body. They must NEVER leave your body. When you change your Kachera you take one leg of your old kachera and put it into the new kachera and then take the second leg out and put it into the new kachera, This way your kakkar is always a port of your body and will not leave it. Same with your khanga. When you wash your kesh, attach in to your gatra or something..but it should always be with you. Veer ji, you may need to get your gatra altered if is bothering you. I ensure my gatra is perfect for my Torso so my kirpan sits perfectly by my waist. Like the sangat have suggested, use a kamarkasa if your activity is very active like martial arts. If i t's normal gym activity then you should be ok with tucking your kirpan into your pants and if your gatra is the right size then their won't be any excess gatra sticking out of your T-shirt. If your gatra is a bit to long, just get a safety pin to fold a bit of it and make it smaller. That's what I do And my kirpan doesn't bother me when I am working out... Bhul Chuk Maaf!

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Personally, I don't see any point in arguing with people like that. I just walk away and continue to believe what I believe is right. Don't bother getting frustrated. It's a waste of time. These kind of people are the kind of people that will ask for 'evidence'. And will probably have a silly answer to anything you say to them.. It's their loss..so don't worry about it :wub: Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Welcome veer ji :TH:

When the person is mature enough deal with it and stable in their personality, rehat, sikhi etc.. I guess that can be at any age that is decided by guru sahib.. It all boils down the where and when guru sahib has decided this for you..and where you sanjogh is written..

Hanji veer ji! It was pretty great.. I was not there in person but watched the broadcast. The buffering was darn annoying. So in the end I watched the video and put that on mute so I could listen to the kirtan on Real Player...finally the keertan was not interupted! :wub: Harpreet Singh and Apaardeep Singh Ji .. :cool: The others were good too like Jasbir Singh and Amolak Singh...so hard to narrow the best keertani down.. :T: But a pretty awesome raensabaee Bhul Chuk Maaf!

hmm, pic didn't upload..so here it is..

There are others here that tie great damalla's but they are just too shy to put their pics up..or they have to much nimarata.. So I think it's my duty to let the sangat see any that I can find.. :wub: Sangat Ji, if I never post again it's because the person in the pic has probably killed me..So Singh (I will keep the ID of this person gupat) I am sorry but the sangat need to see this.. Please don't get mad Surrey Singh, Your damalla is pretty awesome too and Mukh Har Har Har Boleeia you tie a good damalla too. So don't be shy. Put some pics up ... Bhul Chuk Maaf!

http://www.akj.org/skins/default/live.ppa Another smagam and more kirtan laha. For those of that can't be there thank Waheguroo they are broadcasting! :wub:

Wow...mind blowing veer ji This is soo true, my father always says a gursikh should always talk with mithaas and piyaar... But I am too much of a fool to remember how to behave like a gursikh :wub:

Now this is a story about Parm, Who lived in bham A hard-core desi with a desi desire, His kacha was always in a raging fire To control his heat he looked for a kuree and started by knocking on his neighbor's door. His neighbor was of Jamaican descent, Six feet tall with a Brooklyn accent. Her name was Tyson. She looked like a Bison, But that didn't matter. Cos our veer was fatter! Parm was desperate, he had little choice. So he started his chat-up in a deep hefty voice; "Meri Jindagy, Meri Pyari, Meri Heer, Meri Kali!" She listened to his lines then gave him the crux; "I'll go out with you if you give me ten bucks!" He put on his Brylcream and they started to date. PARM was in love; "Oh, thank-joo fate!" But Aunty Bachni was on the prowl, She'd smelt the perfume, it was foul! Her senses were tingling, something was up. So she checked out our bro, she wanted the gup! She found him quickly in his pagri laal, Then gave a shriek; "OH KALI DE NAAL!" "Nee mae marrghay!" Aunty Bachno raises the alarm; "PARM's down town with a Kali on his arm!" "There's only one way to stop his blunder, I'll call his mother in district Jallundar!" When mummy heard the news she threw a frenzy! "Main audhay tukaray karkay rakh dhongy!" She picked up her shawl and headed for BHAM, To eliminate the girlfriend and bring back PARM! As soon as she landed she grabbed his ear, "Stick to Punjabis!, Maine tenoo kinee war kayha!?" Kala Kaloota Sara Tabar Loota! Why didn 39;t you come to me? I know many Punjabis! "OK mummy ji, just find me a voti Who'll make me saag and mukhi dee roti!" "My kali friend was a bad move, She doesn't even like the Bhangra groove!" "Serves you right! I've told you many times, Marry a Punjabi, one of your own kind!" "I'll find you a kuree in England my son, I hear there are plenty in Bolverhampton!" "Mum, get the jelebis and lead the way! Punjabi girls here I come, Ballay oh Ballay!" Apologies if the poem offends anyone..I just thought it was kinda funny

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Since I was born we have lived with maharaj's parkaash at home. The Beer was given to us by Bhai Rama Singh Ji :wub: I don't think I could live without guru maharaj's parkaash at home, because I am so used to waking up and doing guru ji's darshan and when you want a moment of peace, sitting in guru maharaj ji's charan in the room doing simran or kirtan is just the perfect way to unwind... I think all gursikh families that can do maharaj's sewa should try keeping maharaj's parkaash at home, because I cannot describe the feeling you get when you have guru maharaj ji there at all times. I myself realised how important guru maharaj ji's parkaash was to me when I had to move out and live by myself without guru maharaj's parkaash. I couldn't handle it and quit a pretty good job just so I could be home with guru ji and sangat. Some say 'home is where the heart is'. I say, home is where guru sahib is! Bhull Chuk Maaf! Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

As Mehtab veer ji says..it's all about keep you're intentions pure. There was this other very useful post about intentions..I have pasted the link below http://forums.waheguroo.com/index.ppa?act=...=ST&f=12&t=5129 Guru maharaj ji has written our sanjogh's so it's not something we should try and worry about.. Nanak satguru tinah malayia jinah dhuray bhayia sanjogh! Bhul Chuk Maaf!

ohh..I found this too.. :wub:

I couldn't find a pic with shasters..and my scanners messed up so I can't scan anything.. But I love this person's damalla...!

How very true...

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! We should all dress appropriately to guru sahib's house. I think the best is to wear guru sahibs bana, because that is not cultural/western dress, but the dress of the Khalsa Panth! Bhul Chuk Maaf! Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Hey, I want to take part, but I dnt want to post up pics of me and my damalla.. and I HATE taking pics...

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! With all due respect sangat ji the purpose of this topic was to think of the gurupurab. No offence but I think we have gone off on a tangent And I do not think it is entirely right to be questioning guru sahibs roop. As noonespecial says who are we to put limitations on guru sahib. Today we are questioning the size of guru Hargobind sahib ji...only guru sahib knows what we may end up questioning tomorrow...just because something may seem to far fetched at first glance does not mean that its not true, after all, Dhan DHan Baba Deep Singh Ji fought with his head in his hand. Should we question that because it seems scientifically impossible? Sangat Ji, I think we should just have faith and know each and every one of our Gurus and great historical gursikh warriors/leaders were beyond the realms of normality. We gain nothing from questioning the size of Guru Sahib...we are only allowing doubt to enter our minds about the greatness of Sikhi! And like I said, that will get us no where... Bhul Chul Maaf! Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

We out our initials on the Kachera just at the bottom so they do not get mixed with other family members...

now that was an eye opener...

Wow...it's true we should just leaving everything to bhana..

Uphold the image of the Khalsa! If you feel comfortable wearing a damala and bana...go fot it!

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! I saw a cholaa that guru ji used to wear. It made an average man look like a midget..Guru Hargobind Sahib ji was HUGH! In those days people were recognised by their unique physical characteristics since photos did not exist and that was Guru Jis nishaani. Bhul Chuk Maaf! Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!
