I have provided enough answers to that post. You have never addressed any of my points . It seems like you are in the business of just debating about things . Why else would you come on this thread and ask such a naive question? If you wanted a reply you can have PM'd me. So my reply to you is

mUrKY nwil n luJIAY ]19]

moorakhai naal n lujheeai ||19||

Don't argue with fools. ||19||

sukhdeep singh, what a liar you are! and a bloody hypocrit as well!

where did you answer the question that i asked you?

i waited for a week but you gave no reply even tho the quetion was directly at you.

why hide behind pm ?

you can give any answers in front of the sangat.

why didnt you pm KAM yourself, if PM talk is better for you?

why ask the question in the post in front of everyone and then try to hide behind PM if someone wants to ask you a question?

you are a hypocrit! you only call others idiots to hide your own hypocrisy.

no wonder panth is in such a mess. I will ask you again to answer the question that i asked you over 3 weeks ago.

dont try to be smart and post 1-liners from Bani.

Also In My Opinion,

They will be Those that Speak up Against Sri RaagMaalaa Because of Their Love of Gursikhs, and They Will Always be Those That Love and Speak For Sri RaagMaalaa, because of their Love of Gurmukhs!!!!!!

There are Those who Will Speak out Against Sri RaagMaala because of Their Love of Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji and Perhaps Other Gursikhs. And There are Those that Will Love and Speak For Sri RaagMaalaa Because of Their Love for Gurmukhs Such as Baba GurBachan Singh Ji Khalsa and Other Gursikhs!!!!!

There will be those that are Fighting to Keep up the Honor of Their Beloveds Gurmukhs! We should not make THEM fight!! That is what we are Doing!! We are Making Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji and Sant Baba GurBachan Singh Ji Fight!! They Would not Want That in My Opinion!!!

Lets Concentrate also on the 1429 Angs We Have in Common!! Sri RaagMaalaa Sahib must Always Be in Sri GuruGranth Sahib Ji!!!!! Ratio we have in Common is 1430:1!! Lets Not let the 1 Cause Us to Divide Us Again!!!!! (Kala Afgana and Gang Use This Tactic to Divide as Well!!)

There Will Always Be Those Gursikhs Who can Give Very Beautiful Deep Meanings of Sri RaagMaaalaa!! Baba GurBachan Singh Ji Must be Respected Too!!!!!

Those that Do Want to Remove Sri RaagMaalaa from Sri GuruGranth Sahib Ji through Sarbat Khalsa have to accept with Prem that that CANNOT OCCUR!!!!! Panth Aashikhs (Lovers of United Khalsa Panth) Singhs and Kaurs Always have Sri RaagMaalaa in Sri GuruGranth Sahib Ji!!!!! There are Many Gurmukhs of Past including Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji who Loved Sri RaagMalaa!!!!! It will be a Maha Paap to Remove Sri RaagMaalaa from Sri GuruGranth Sahib Ji; For it Would be an ATTACK also on Sarbat Guru Khalsa Panth!!!!! (Anti Khalsa Panth People Will Be Using this To Further ATTACK Khalsa Dharma!!!!! Kala Afgana, Etc have already ATTACKED Sri RaagMaalaa!!!!! This is the Tactic They Use to ATTACK Entire Sri GuruGranth Sahib Ji!!!!!)

Let us Not Fight to end up becoming like 'darshan ragis'!!

There is So Much we Have to Do to Bring Chardi Kala to Khalsa Panth!! Arguing over Sri RaagMaalaa is not Productive!!!!!

Do Not Argue about Sri RaagMaalaa Sahib; Please!!!!! TILL DEATH!!!!!

THE ENEMIES OF THE PANTH WANT YOU TO DO THAT!!! IT IS A VICIOUS FIGHTING CYCLE THAT CAN NEVER END!!!!! KHALSA WILL ONLY END UP FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!

Gursikhs Such as Sant Baba GurBachan Singh Ji Also Hold Very High Esteem in Sikh Panth!!!!!

Chardi Kala!!!!!

Dhan Dhan Sri GuruGranth Sahib Ji!!!!!

Dhan Dhan Dasam Patshah Bani!!!!!

Dhan Dhan RehitVaan Panj Pyareh, Khande-Pahul Amrit, and Khalsa Rehit!!!!!

Dhan Dhan Bhai Gurdas Ji Bani!!!!!

Dhan Dhan Bhai Nand Lal Singh Bani!!!!!

Dhan Dhan Bhai Gurdas Singh Bani!!!!!

Dhan Dhan Bani in the Palace of Guru Gobind Singh Ji!!!!!

Dhan Dhan Gurus' Raags!!!!! Dhan Dhan Gurus' Instruments!!!!!

Dhan Dhan Simran!!!!! Dhan Dhan NishKhaam Seva!!!!! Dhan Dhan Gurus' Daswandh!!!!!

Bhai Khalistan Zindabad Singh Khalsa Jee the reason for the 2 "1's" is because:

This is the reason for the 2 1's. Furthermore if you look at raagmala's numbering system it doesnt fit according to Guru jee's numbering system.

Furthermore If you study Guru Granth Sahib jee's structure where a shabad, then astapadi, then cchant. Also the guru's baania come in order and then bhagat baani.

Following this example in reality mundavnee mehalla 5 and slok mehalla 5 tere keeta jatoo should come before slok mehelaa 9 jee's baani which is Guru Teghbahadar jee's baani. However guru jee placed mundavnee and slok mehalla 5 after slok mehlla 9 because mundavnee is the seal of guru granth sahib Jee.

Takes some time out and actually study the structure of each raag and then you will realise.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
