Read any book written by Shambala press. The way they teach and explain buddhist teachings is practically a work of art. Much of the subject matter is universal for all dharms, so we can learn a lot from there as well. I would love to see more Sikhs able to explain our dharm with such erudition as they have used.

Bandgi Nama - journal of a spiritual seeker. very very inspiring and useful

Discourses on the Beyond - English language books from Sant Waryam Singh ji Ratwara Sahib. Explains the spiritual path in great depth, probably deeper than any other English language book on Sikhi.

Atam Marg magazine - a lot of deep spiritual stuff

Books from Gurmatkhoj.com written by Sant Scholar Naranjan Singh ji. Amazing depth of knowledge. Sant ji was the one who taught Bhai Jasbir Singh ji Khanne wale kirtan.

the pianist

the boy in the striped pyjamas

schindlers list

all three are based on the Jewish experience during ww2. very powerful films.

another film that i would recommend is one of my favourite all time films of all time - Thelma and Louise.

if you are looking for something closer to home, try watching Mother India, it is a truly amazing film about a dedicated mother, and I would always recommend this film to youngsters who are born in the west, so they can see the poverty that our forefathers escaped from to give us future generations a better life in the west. It should be a must watch for every panjabi/indian.

I do not see any reason for editing DELETING the name of book STATING IT TO

be banned word, while many participants are using punjabi synonyms very

freely to slander others on the forum , Deleting the name of recommended book

defeats the very purpose of the thread

Mod, plz show the deleted name for benefir of all

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!!
