Hi,

Can anybody please recommend any good books on Sikhi? I'm looking to read some inspiring books...

Can you also very briefly describe what the books main theme is and what's good about it (in your opinion).

Thank you.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!

Heres one of my all times favourites Books...

Se Kinehiya

sekinehiya2006.pdf

It is the autobiography of Sant Baba Harnam Singh Ji (Rampu Khera) Sant Ji was a Pooran Bhraimgyani, who's soul was merged with waheguru and this book gives a detailed account of his life and spritual experiences. This was one of the first books i read about sikhi and served as a big inspiration to my sikhi path.

enjoy!

:)

I would definitely recommend The Game of Love by Harjinder Singh.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Love-Harjinde...3604&sr=8-1

The Game of Love tells the story of the Sikhs and their freedom struggles throughout history. Guru Nanak the first Guru of the Sikhs started the revolution of Sikhs standing up against tyranny and oppression, in the 15th century, this movement of freedom struggles has carried on to the present day. In the post 9/11 world, the word of the 10th Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh resonate, When all peaceful means have been exhausted it is just to draw the sword The Game of Love portrays the tears, torture and the sacrifices of the Sikhs throughout history, the readers will decide if they are termed freedom fighters, insurgents, militants or the popular word used by oppressive governments to term the brave and courageous.

flashman and the mountain of light. a sad story about the demise of the khalsa raj and the destruction of the khalsa.

I wouldnt recommend that book to anyone under-18. Actually the same goes for the diary of anne frank. but yeah, Flashman and the Mountain of Light was pretty interesting and melancholy as the khalsa raj sounded like a great place, until it was invaded.

    • 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.
