Just a couple of more books to add....

Prof. Puran Singh Ji has written a ton of amazing books that you might want to check out...he has written i think an 8 book set volume called Spirit of the Sikh which is truly inspiring. Also, another amazing book he's written is Spirit Born People.

Another Bhai Veer Singh ji book to add would Gurmukh Sikhiya which is in punjabi...it's an amazing book...currently reading it...it's all about doing simran and answers a lot of questions...really really inspiring...

Also, a Gurmukh piyaray has written 132 short booklets in punjabi under the pen name Khoji, which explains sikhi according to what gurbani says....very inspiring...also some articles are available in english including:

Power of Thoughts

Divine Religion

Oasis in the desert of Maya

very inspiring books...can be picked up at samagams and many gurudawaras in north america and india

Also, there is an american writer who has offered a lot of spiritual insight named J. Goldsmith. One book you might want to check out is Practicing the Presence.

oh ...almost forgot....Autobiography of a Yogi is an AMAZING book written by Pamahansa Yogananda....

and another one written by one of his disciples is called Only Love by Daya mata ji... i think that's her name...

hope this helps....

Found this website with loads of ebooks. I couldn't find any Sikh related books, except for Songs of Kabir by Rabindranath Tagore and Hira Singh by Talbot Mundy but they have a lot of ebooks that you can download for free. There in txt format so they don't look very nice but there's tips on how to convert them, and there's also some ebooks in Microsoft reader format. The Hira Sing book sounds pretty interesting, its about some brave Sikh soldiers I believe. The following quote is from a New York Times article dated July 1915: "For Sikhs to attempt what they carried through, even under such splendid leadership as Ranjoor Singh's, was to defy the very nth degree of odds. To have tried to tell the tale otherwise than in Hira Singh's own words would have been to varnish gold."

Before I forget, here's the link abacci ebooks/books

There's a lot of other books on religion and philosophy, but like I said not much on Sikhism. I read the book Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse (fiction) last week and thought it was a great story. Was only about 100 pages long, if you read a chapter at a time (about 10 pages) and take breaks you could easily finish that book in a day.

    • 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.
