Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

First of all I would pray that all users of this board..silent or active, get drawn closer to Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj.

I would kindly like to ask anybody who can help me in obtaining a photograph of the late 'Panth Ratan Sant Singh Ji Maskeen'.

I took a photo to my studio to be enlarged but as it was a very small photo taken from the net, it wasn't possible for them to enlarge any bigger than 8x10.

I would like a larger size photo (in megabytes rather than kilobytes) that I could enlarge to a size 20x24.

If anybody could help I would be so so grateful and may their sewa be parvaan. You could email me the photo to my private email address or if you know where I could buy say a framed one, please please let me know.

I was privelaged to have listened to Baba Ji's discourses and when they visited London, attended their katha programmes. They played a great part in bringing me closer to Sikhi.

AT the time I used to trim my beard and they said something in their discourse in London and I was immediately drawn to the power of their words and the gian behind it. I stopped trimming my beard and in the subsequent years took Amrit.

To this day my eyes fill with tears when I listen to Maskeen Ji..they were an ocean of spiritual knowledge and the least I can do is at least pay them some respect by having a photograph of them in my house.

Please help..

Laala gola ji, it is good that you have pyar (love) for the ocean of Brahm Vidya (Knowledge of God), Bhai Sant Singh ji Maskeen.

In my opinion veer ji, the best way to 'pay respect' to bhai sahib would be to listen to their katha, read their books and learn follow their teachings.

You do need to hang any photos in your house. Instead when you need darshan of a particular Gurmukh, just use the internet, thats what I do.

The highest darshan is darshan of Shabad Guru. Let our eyes have darshan of Gurbani as much as possible. I'm sure bhai Sahib would be more happy to know that you are listening/reading to his katha/books and reading/singing Gurbani rather than having a picture of them.

This goes for all Sants,Gurmukhs of all jatha's, taksals. Just my opinion.

Yes thats true.

However, looking at photos of Saints and Gurmukhs is better than viewing other photos such as of worldy people, wouldn't you agree? After all, God also gave us this physical body too and these eyes must serve their highest purpose of doing Darshan of Gurmukhs.

Just as viewing somebody like David Cameron or Tony Blaire, or Obama you get reminded of politics, by viewing photos of Gursikhs, one remembers the Lord.

Veer ji, I am not against doing darshan of Gursikhs. I think it is better just to use internet rather than putting up pictures of Gursikhs.

I feel that it is better just to do kamai of Bani and listen to katha/kirtan. We do pooja/worhsip of Gurbani and Naam.

Also I feel that bhai Sant Singh Maskeen ji would be more pleased that you listened to his katha, read his books and most of all increased your simran and paath rather than hanging his picture up. Maskeen ji remained a humble Gursikh all his life, he was never interested in promoting himself. He was just interested in doing parchar through katha and bought countless towards Guru Sahib. Internet is always available to us when we require darshan of Gurmukhs that have left this earth.

Ask yourself, would bhai sahib be more pleased if you did extra paath and simran or would they be more pleased if you hung up a picture of them? The answer is obvious.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
