I have seen this article before, it stinks of Kala Afghana........ @

I would have to disagree. Please read this. It proves using Gurbani, that Naam is repetition of the word Waheguru.

Sat Sri Akal:

What concerns me is that the signature on the essay is ofarespected Sikh forum member of Sikhnet, Bhai Yuktanand Singh. So I e-mailed him in hopes of finding out if his name was falsified on the essay. Will get back to you with a response.

Sikhsangat admins...if possible, could you PM me that article...as I might have to present Yuktanand Singh Sahib with the article for his evaluation.

Thanks.

Admin Note: It was deleted, sorry jee. You will have to get in touch with the person who posted it. -2

hmmmmmmmmmm............is this the same dude and does it reek of kala afghana? : http://www.5knet.com/yuktanand.htm

ms514 you have a PM and yes it was from user known as Yuktanand Singh on sikhnet.

Thanks for letting me know it is questionable material, I did not read it thouroghly except for the part I was interested in. I thought it made sense to only add "Waheguru" in a shabad if one is overwhelmed with emotion. Akjforever was asking that question a few months ago. http://forums.waheguroo.com/index.ppa?act=...&hl=naam+simran

Sat Sri Akal:

Admin Jee...Ryu Sahib was kind enough to forward me the link.

There is some objectionable content in the article and I am glad that you were able to conclude that as well.

Why KA ? why you say that?

[Ryu Hayabusa]

*edit nov.14

"The word Naam means the Divine Essence, the Being of God. This Essence is formless, colourless, and featureless, but is present in all Creation. There is no place, no thing, no plant, no creature in which it is not (Jatyaa keetaa taytaa naa-on. Vin naavai naahee ko thaa-o). Being formless, colourless, featureless, this Essence cannot be seen or visualized by the mind.

We can see only the physical dimension of Realtiy in God's Creation - mountains, plants, trees, creatures, etc. Thus, the outer shell of Reality holds us (the appearances delude us) and we cannot pentrate deeper to experience the All Pervading Reality.

The physical dimension of Reality (the outer shell) is always in flux; it keeps changing. While birth, death, creation, destruction, etc., occur in the physical dimension of Creation, the Essence, the Immanent Being of God (Naam) never changes; it transcends space and time.

The word Naam is a symbol representing the spiritual dimension of Creation; it is the very Being of God permeating all that exists. Naam is not merely the 'Name of God' as is commonly believed; it symbolizes the Being of God filling all Creation."

the above is an excerpt from a footnote in Nitnaym Bananees Translated and Transliterated in English by Dr. Santokh Singh.

Just went through this article on Sikhnet. Surely, we can agree to disagree but dubbing it as anti- panthic is going over the top. An <banned word filter activated> like Kala Afghana must not be used as excuse to debar everyone else from putting across their views.
