Actually depending on the geographical location and time period in history, God has sent avtars to every nation in the world. Muslims believe in 124,000 prophets who came to various countries, majority of them being in the Middle East. Guruji's avtar was in Punjab, and so in order to reach out to the common masses, as Brahmins used Sanskrit only for educated "upper castes", He used Punjabi. The purpose was to spread the message of God to every common man, no matter what man-made caste he/she belonged to.

In Jaap Sahib, Guruji states clearly that God doesn't belong to any particular ethnic background.

punjabi is a language set by baba farid. gurmukhi is what the gurus wrote and hence the mother tongue.

not punjabi...but gurmukhi!

gustaphi maaf

God ent Punjabi!!! Coz i cant see Him drinking and dealing in dowry and arguing about land prices

you also forgot that god doesnt go to peoples weddings and starts fighting with the taya chachai like "tu koan ya" and knocks someones paag off and then falls on the floor and has to get someone to carry him off.

actually today im in a good mood. theres a story i came across....

typical punjabi viah. theres a person who is really really drunk, and hes laughing so loud. a group of folk say to him "calm down your killing the party", the drunken guy gets up and is like "tu koan ya" and lunges at one of the group. he gets into a fight (do consider he was high on drugs). so this guy is beating the innocent guy up. so the group joins in. women at the back are so scared that one woman even decides to throw some bottles of alcohol at the guy in a bit to calm him down. actually youd be surprised this isnt a scene from a bollywood movie as he actually carried on fighting. his shirt turned from a white, to red.

the aftermath was one person died (im not sure if it was the guy who was drunk or the guy he was battering, or maybe both)? but because im in a good mood right now, thought i should paint some typical punjabi viahs.

gustaohi maaf

because i never heard a shabad in english, japanese or dutch

and i know a lot of sikh who are not punjabi

but what does that have to do with the omnipotent, omnipresent divinity? the language used to describe him or express his greatness has nothing to do with his identity. PUnjabi languge had an origin and will ultimatly have an end. As languages have been lost thru time, will God also be lost one day?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa. waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is written in one type of letters. those letters are also used in Punjabi. in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, there isnt only one language. there are many in there. (in many, many places the languages are mixed up.) the scriptures are written by using the same letters we use to write Punjabi, but the language is called Gurmukhi.

.....and God=Punjabi????? :doh: @ :doh: @ :doh:

WAY "NO" TO THAT JI.

Sikhs and Punjabi people are very very VERY different. believe me, i know. Punjabi people do lori (celebration of birth of a boy) and dont do as much for girls when they're born. Punjabi people deal way too much in the man is better than women issue. punjabi people dance to bad music these days. male Punjabi freshies check out females and stuff. Punjabi people drink, eat meat, and party like carzy. Punjabi people follow the caste system too much; my parents always go on and on about how im a jatti and how i should make them proud and if i let them down then other people will be like "oh. youre not jatts. youre a disgrace to jatts. blah blah blah " Punjabi people think too much about what other people think of them "Oh, I need a bigger house and more cars. What will others think about me if I don't get more, more, more?". most Punjabi people thses days would rather go to a party rather than the Gurudwara. Punjabi people think theyre all that.

**ok...i know not all punjabi people are like this. but this generalization is SO true. and i know that you all know it is too.

mind you all....I am a punjaban "so called jatti" too. so i know how it goes :doh: ...unfortunatley. no.gif

when we'll get a Khalistan, we wont have to worry about all of these problems. :)

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
