I'd recommen "In Search of the True Guru" (punjabi version- "Roop Gobind Ka, Raj Khalsey Ka, Sika Soney Ka") by Bhai Rama Singh Jee

Its an awesome book. i haven't finished reading it all yet, but so far, its reallyyy wicked. Reading bhai Rochak Malang's summaries themselves are awesome, just think what the book itself would be like..

unditthi duniya, rangle sajjan, jail chitthiyaan, anhad shabd dasam dwwar by bhai randhir singh are AWESOME literature.

bijai singh and sundri by vir singh jee is nice and very inspiring.

other books .... i like chicken soup for the soul....all series.... cuz its so inspiring and heartwarming...can never get enough of reading them ;)

simulacra and simulation by jean baudrillard is a fairly worthy read. alt. it barely seems related to godliness, it gives a new perspective on life...which is worthwhile. :(

Just wrote a long reply, only for it to be erased when i accidently hit the wrong button lol.

Anyway two books which I found really inspiring are NON SIKH`S VIEW ON THE EXCELLENCE OF SIKHISM by Sarup Singh Alag, more commonly known as Excellence of Sikhism and Sikhism: A Faith for the Modern Man by Sikh Missionary College, Ludhiana.

Another book which is good but not quite great is Hair Power by Sarup Singh Alag. All of his books are distributed free, and are available in both english and punjabi i think. Although they might not be so easy to get your hands on outside of india.

As for books available to download online, Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh's short books are good, and so are the articles on www.gurmatps.org but most of these are really short. There's a good collection on http://www.sikhi.org.uk/. I haven't ready of the books but I have heard good things about some of them. Especially The Buddhist Princess, and "The Way of the Saffron Cloud".

If you visit that site and click on the articles, by length link you'll find a range of publications available to read or download online. Smaller articles are at the top of the list while the bigger books are at the bottom of the page. You may want to view the article index by author or something else.

I just downloaded these pdf files which were around 500k in size.

The Way of the Saffron Cloud by Dr. Kulwant Singh 177 pages

Prakasina - The Buddhist Princess by Prof. Puran Singh 121 pages

and The Si

kh Religion by Sikh Missionary Center, USA 251 pages ISBN: 0-9625383-0-2

Another book which I recently spent 20 something dollars on at borders is

WORLD SCRIPTURE: A Comparative Anthology of Sacred Texts. So far what I've read I've found pretty good. It's pretty interesting to learn how much in common all the scriptures have. This book can't be downloaded but the chapters can be read online at http://www.unification.net/ws/

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
