Please forgive me if i make mistakese while talking about these 3 questions.

Q1. why is the colour orange inportanat to vasakhi?
The Kesri Rung (orange color) signifies Sacrifice. Sikhs have made many sacrifices and Baisakhi is such an important day in Sikh History when 5 Sikhs stood up to the call and gave their heads to the Guru. On this day, Guru Gobind Singh Ji taught a unique way to live the life, love and sacrifice.
Q2.what is the purpose of Matha tekh to Guru Granth Sahib?

I have a cd by Prof. Darshan Singh Ji and he explains the cocept of Matha Tekh in deatial. It would be better if you listen to this cd. I remember lil bit of it. Mathe vich Matt hundi aa. When we go to Gurdwara, sometimes we matha tek with a dollar. Once that dollor is put in the golak, that dollar belongs to Guru Ji. We cannot say, "that dollar is mine" because now it has become Guru Ji's. Same thing goes with matha tek. We have our mat ( thinking) in our matha (forehead, head), and when we put this matha in front of Guru Ji (touch the floor) we are actually giving our mat (thinking) to Guru Ji, just like a dollar. Now once, we have done matha tek, our mat is no more ours becau

se we have given it to Guru Ji, but in return, we ask Guru Ji his mat, "Guru Ji, meri mat lai lao, te aapni de deo". Just like after putting a dollar in front of Guru Ji does not belong us anymore, same way, after matha tek, outrmat does not belong to us either.

Q3. Why do people do Parkarma?

Parkarma has a very deep signifance. In our everyday life, we need someone to guide us. No matter where we go, whatever we do, we always need guidance from our Guru Ji. Parkarma is walking in a circular way. No matter what point on a circle you are at, you will always be at an equal distance from the Center, radius. In this case, our center is Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and when we do parkarma (walking in a circular way), it means, Guru Ji is the folcal point, the center of our lives, no matter what direction we are at, where we are at, how fast we go, how slow we are in our lives, or even if we stop, Guru Sahib will always be the center of our lives.

i agree with this. also the significance of math tekh na is a way of showing respect, and as a statement of puting ur ego behind and giving ur head to guru ji. thus u can gain the enlightenment from guru ji to find ur way to akal purak

      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.
