at the moment i am registered with my surname from birth...however i do not like the fact that i have to say my surname when ever i apply for something...as i know guruji said not have a surname which shows your caste/ state etc, therefore i understand that very well and sooooo want to remove my surname... but would not be allowed to do so at the moment as i havent taken amrit( want ot tke it soon) and the thats the only way i could do this as my family will accept it then......

...anways ... the most that i try to do is change my surname to "Kaur" when i write my name down for a competition or make accouunts on the internet for different sites etc...(basically where my passport details or birth certificate etc are not asked)...

however i was just thinkin is it right for me to do this..call myself Kaur before taking amrit.. as i thought your only meant to change your last name to "kaur" after taking amrit? :D

just want to know what are the sangatji's views on this?

sorry for the delay d_oh.gif

i was in the exact same boat as you, i knew King of Kings Dasam Pathshah gave the surname Singh to the Khalsa whilst i was still using a surname which made it clear which caste i used to belong to. so i changed it through deed poll to only 'singh'. it costs around £40 depending on your age. for more UK-based details:

oh and i did it 4 years before taking amrit - changing your surname isn't as big a deal as continuing to take steps towards Guru ji and becomming a Khalsa.

this goes for everything including taking amrit: more important than taking the step is continuing to ensure we are worth of taking it. so continue to progress in simran, rehit, spiritual jeevan and Guru Ji will serve as your Guide across the world-ocean and illuminate your path

      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.
