guru'sfateh

Gurfateh jio, are there any book stores in the midlands that will sell this book?

I forgot to add: the power of ardas is so amazing, your friend was right to advise you to pray.

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh, If you are wearing a steel kara then that is what is most likely reacting badly with your skin, it isn't really a problem for humans to wear iron as our bodies naturally hold iron component (lots in our blood).. so try a completely iron kara. Also the kara should be worn on the wrist. Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

BEAUTIFUL! Thats the sort of thing that it was aimed at doing.. raising awareness. I remember being new to sikhi, its such a eye opening time. Its like you were asleep and your waking up and looking around for the very first time. Vaheguru ji's kirpa you will soon be iniated into the panth too!

I believe you are fickle.

I am offended that you would refer to the sakhi and facts of the first amrit sanchar and the birth of the khalsa panth as a MYTH. Vaheguru, is kalyug this bad that people can't even embrace their own history but determined to distort it? Vaheguru help us.

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh, I think the singh thinks he has achieved a result but in fact nothing has changed. A box blessed by the gurdvara sahib?! (Yeah right) Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

Sangat ji, Do you have to pay to go (i.e. for petrol consumption etc) ?

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh, It wasnt just a coincidence that you stopped talking to her, guru ji obviously did it for a reason. You are being faced with cross roads, make sure you choose wisely. We want to help people that we care about that sometimes as a results we ourselves drown instead. Dont make the same mistake I have done in the past, if she comes to for help then do not refuse her but I think you should keep your distance because talking to ex-relationship people from your past life (before amrit) is a very TRICKY game to play. You have to remember your path that your walking, there isnt room for you to share your love and attention. I know you want her to get clean and into sikhi but DO ARDAS instead, that will help both her and keep you safe from slipping up. Also not everyone has it in their kismat to come into sikhi unfortunately. Take care Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh

It is annoying, I agree, it reflects your personality well.

W H O C A R E S ? ? ? ? ?

^ Thats your opinion, however sex is a form of lust even if people choose not to believe it.

Leaving isnt the answer. I used to have problems with my parents too, someone gave me advice that this is sort a test of your faith. Keep at it, you obviously owe these people something from a previous life, you have to balance your sikhi and your family. Many people do it, they most probably think that you are going through a phase so keep strong and show them that you are serious about sikhi. Always remember that you are guru's-sikh and you are representing your father guru gobind singh ji, therefore try not to back chat them or show disrespect towards them, be a good example for them and they will soon change. Sorry if I have said anything wrong. Take care jee. Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

Such is life, we live in KALJUG, I'm not saying that we should all accept sex before marriage but I think we should not make it a criteria for our future spouse to be a 'virgin' or not. At the end of the day gursikh marriages go beyond the physical body, if you have commited such sin which my guru forgave when u take amrit.. what mortal being cannot forgive? When it comes to finding a furture partner, I'm not going to ask 'are you a virgin?' because that implies that I care about that and I dont! By the fact that this singh cares about you being virgin says alot about him.. think about it. I would marry someone who had done committed any sin as long as he had repented it in front on maharaj and is a pure gursikh.. Sex is NOT part of gursikhi.

To the topic starter, I wouldnt worry too much because if you are seeing these things, it most probably means that you can handle them. If you are seeing them during paath, I would think that maybe they are listening to the bani themselves and probably are looking for mukti or something, I dont know. Do not be afraid because Vaheguru is with you at all times, and yes do rakeah de shabad. A friend of mine experienced something similar to this, except the other thing was confronting him (coming towards him), my piara friend pulled out his kirpan and it vanished, although my friend was very scared- I think he himself realised that the spirit came to him for mukti?? I dont know, vaheguru's khel is too beant for me to understand. Just have faith gurmukho, you will be fine. To others, what is sulemans ghost? Take care of yourself jeeo, let us know of any advancements but please keep who you are gupt from the sangat. Thank you Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh, t-singh jee, I felt such emotionreading your post, please do not feel let down and disheartened. I can assure you that there are real gursikhs out there who would never dream of doing what your brother or father have done to you. I understand that you have been through many difficult times and unfortunate circumstances but now you are older you are able to educate yourself on things which your father or brother did not teach you. You are able to see true sikhi for yourself and become the gursikh that your father and brother aren't. Please dont feel defeated, they will pay for their bad karam in some other way however you can move on with your jeevan and build good kamai. I read something today which helped me- from the top of my head, it was about how Guru sahib is with us in the good and bad times but he only puts grace on those who seek His sanctuary and do ardas with single-pointed focus. If you are calling out to Him, I give you a promise that He will come to you. Right at that moment when you feel like giving in and crawling into a dark hole.. He will come and help you out and the amazing thing is, that you will feel His grace on you. Please dont feel down, you have all sorts of choices.. please dont choose to be defeated.. choose to change and be uplifted. Start your life again, fresh and new.. AMRIT. Please research more into sikhi, you may be pleasantly surprised Good luck to you and have faith in your ardas, it will be heard. Take care jee Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh

I am speechless, what will be next? This is absolute stupidity...

Why are you listeing to rumours? worst way to ruin your kamai bro, also who are you to know/judge whether some gursikhs ran back or forth to the fight? Concentrate on yourself and dont be concerned on what gursikhs in india are doing because even though you may think you are ready for torture, its all talk as of yet because you will not know until your there. I implore all these people who are just on the internet 24/7 wasting time by communicating there pointless views should be doing bani and ardas for those in this dispute in india. What is a forum going to achieve for them!?

So walking and talking in a group through london will bring awareness? HAHA. Also this is for the thread starter - what the ell is 'patheh'? its FATEH What is the need for going against the grain? Do you get some entertainment from it because it isnt helping your jeevan whatsoever. Could you maybe leave out negative comments you may have, unless you better ways of creating awareness, then please take them into action and we will all gladly support you. Live and let live. Take care jee Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh, As princess has replied; yes, you can go like anything other day because maharaj's darbar is open to everyone at all times. However, I personally would not do maharaj di seva on those particular days because you need complete sucham. Some bibiya like to cause uproar about this issue and claim that they are being prevented from doing seva and there is lack of equality between genders but I think it is a matter of common sense. There is not sexism going on, only respect for Guru Granth Sahib Jee, do you really want to do seva of maharaj knowing there could be a breach in sucham? Although I have mentioned that you shouldnt really do maharaj di seva (out of respect) this does not mean we are prevented from going to the gurdwara and getting darsan of our father. Many people think that they dont have to do their nitnem etc if they are menstruating. This is not the case. Menstruation is a natural element of the female reproductive system which has been installed into us bibiya for a reason by maharaj... we get the gift of giving birth and a maternal bond with creation for 9 months which singhs arent physically capable of doing, so please bibiya do not feel inferior to singhs - menstruation is not a burden on us. IT IS A GIFT. Sincere apologies to anyone I may have offended. Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

PSD jee, If I knew how to answer your questions on how to become khalseh and how to implement truth into our every breath then I would be formally known as SANT guru'sfateh. Haha. PSD, we were given these attributes from the five but overtime have they become suppressed? Have the chor caught hold of us? Going to these camps will definately aid our sikhi and allow us to get that laha and talk to gurmukhs etc but how many times do we spend doing this timetable at home by ourselves? I believe we need that balance, sanagt but also sangat with our OWN SOULS too. Sometimes we can get so caught up in sangat and 'people' that we forget who we are and where we are going. I think without having conversations with yourself first (you and your guru) whats the use in having conversations with others? From everything I have learnt on this path- I think the most important thing you can do is to establish a FIRM (rock solid) relationship with maharaj - and for me this was only achieved when I was by myself. I think I have waffled. My 'talk less' plan has been ruined. Take care jeeo Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

PSD jee, Maharaj takes care of TRUE khalsa; we are not all true and so the panth IS in a bad state. I dont think that comment is an unfair one to make as khalsa for a start in more divided than united. If you dont agree then I am sorry. Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

Singhni, I had problems with facial hair etc when I first came into sikhi, although I never removed it, I was always aware of it and would feel embarassed if I saw people talking to my moustache instead of me! But through many ardasan I noticed the change in me as I slowly accepted my hair, I now feel beautiful and know that this is how I SHOULD look and this is how guru ji WANTS me to look - what we think doesnt matter. When people look at my facial hair now, at little part of me is happy because they can SEE my STRENGTH because our kes is our strength. Every time you take a plucker to those 5 hairs, you are giving into public opinion and conforming to society. Who is your guru? Society or Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee? Go to the next amrit sanchaar and take amrit again ASAP. Take care. Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh.

Punjabi link jee, I would advise you to change your sangat. You have many misconceptions on what sikhi is about. Firstly, a sikh is a disciple (gursikh = sikh of THE guru) which requires us (through our own choice) to follow our guru's hukum and rehit. Secondly a sikh is a learner. Speaking from experience, as you find it difficult to relate, I was once at your stage and trust me, the true LEARNING does not begin until you have declared the ultimate truth and stepped on this path. I understood once I took amrit that through guru ji's kirpa I began to understand much more about this game of love once I had the thirst for amrit quenched. I stongly believe, if I hadnt given my mind, BODY and soul to Him, those things would have never had clicked. I believe I still would be roaming around like a stray dog. When you give EVERYTHING to your guru (which includes your roop) you are still that same dog but you no longer are a stray. Guru makes us His and puts a leash around our necks and we have a owner that we love and cherish. We as dogs would never forsake our owner, our sustainer, so when when other people do- I admit it does annoy me a little. But that being said, I cannot argue with fools (sorry). Now coming to your point about 'Singhs are fighters'.. Singhs are 'fighters' to some extent BUT the important distinction between 'fighters' and Khalsa is that Khalsa only fight for TRUTH whereas general fighters fight in order to gain for themselves. The only true battle that exists for Singhs and Singhnia is the battle from the 5 thieves in our minds that loot us every single second of every single day. Please do not critisise anyone because the filth is only buliding in your own mouth. Take some time out and discover yourself. Sorry if I have said anything wrong and offended anyone.

Bhai sahib, if I sit to have my langar and dont talk to the person next to me, it is not because I want to look good in front of others or I dont like the look of that person. I simply normally do not do so because we shoudnt really be striking up conversations with people whilst eating langar in the gurdwara while there is bani/keertan to listen to. Personally I dont feel that I need to talk to someone to make myself acknowledge the fact that we are all equals- I can just simply say fateh and by sitting at the same level as everyone it is well established that we can sit together as one and eat guru ji's langar... in my opinion idol talk is not necessary to achieve this. I see your point, I think you mean to do gurmat veechar etc and integrate as gursikhs right? Well this is not frowned upon. If a bibi came up to me wanting to discuss gurmat issues in the langar hall- I would be more than happy to do such veechar. But I agree with _anon_ that we should refrain from idol chit chat and not talk about things that do not help our relationship with guru get stronger. Our breath is only going to go in vain that way. Everyone's sikhi is different, we are all at different levels of understanding. I have only given my opinion and you have yours. I am not right and you are not wrong. Do what your conscience allows you to do... peace be with you my brother. Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh
