Aren't we sapose to respect d_oh.gif our Guru Ji

Then why does the Sangat these day give a quater to Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji but give like 5 dollars to the ragi's (Not all people do this but u get my point or where im comin from). Im not saying don't respect the ragi but im just saying why are we puting them almost to the same Level as our Guru Sahib? Does anyone want the explain this cuz im totally puzzled :wub: @ grin.gifwacko.gif

Ahhh stupid server.. didn't published my first long reply no.gif

Anyway... The reason why ppls give more money to raagis is because its the donation from sangat that provides the income of all raggis and keertani jathas. They are usually on very low income by gurdwara sahib supreme members rolleyes.gif , so mostly rely on whatever they get from sangat. PPLs donate as much as they can because they feel that they are helping them indirect way. The system is wrong because sometime it causes friction between different raggis jatha on the time spot. Many complaints that they get less time or dead time and so on.. For ex: Many raggis want the prime time because thats the hot spot when rush hits in (11ish am sunday time) and when the rush comes.. eventually $$ comes in.

Regarding the Guru Granth Sahib jee.. it doesn't matter how much you keep in front of guru sahib jee... Guru jee is the one who provides the food/money/comfort to the whole world, so how a quarter or 100 dollar can effect guru jeee.. These doesn't matter in front of guru sahib jee.. When we are in the line in front of guru sahib jeee.. the respect in your heart counts, not the money in your hand. Just my views :TH:

Me n my grandfather had a long duscussion about this and to sum up the whole conversation he told me that we are acually giving it to guru ji's bani and not the granthis, we are not puting the granth's higher or lower than guru ji because he is the one who we are giving our token of our apprecation to in any case. We are just rewarding the granth's for doing kirtan for us so we can anand manlia.

Guru Ji Resides in all of us so we shouldn't think like i did...

      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.
