Gurfathe,

the aim of this post is not to offend any one,

but, today it seems we are stuck uppon who and which jatha will be attending certain program/smagams. Im guilty as the next person, but going to a smagam cause some one "famous", a well known raagi is atending, is that the right reson to attend? are we not going because of the keertani/raagi instead of the biraas of keertan, the raas of gurbani. we look for a well known jatha yet we ignore the other jath cause they are new on the field yet they are the so called "next big thing".

by going to certain programs and not going to others because of which raagi si comming, or rather which isnt are we not defeating the purpose of a keertan darbar/smagam.

pull chuk maff.

if any brother/sister has taken please forgive me, and tell me where i am wrong so I can learn from my mistake

Guroo Rakha

if we go to program cause of keertani

then we dont go for gurbani lah, raas of gurbani but to hear the voice of a raagi and we dont gain anything,

its shudnt matter who is singing bani, as long as its gurbani u will and shud benifit. I dont mean to say raagis arent important as there effort shud be rewarded but I think picking and chossing to go to one program over another because theres a certain Raagi comming to one and not the other is wrong.

Nanak naam chadi kala, teri pani sarbat da paala.

Pull chuk maaf.

please note I am not refering to any particular Program, Jatha, etc or starting an argument but just like to bring to the attention what we are doing.

there are those that can hear the keertani sing... and there are those that can hear BEYOND the keertani singing.

we need to hear beyond the keertani singing. we shouldnt be seeing the keertani coz our eyes should be closed. Theres no use saying "yeh but thats next level stuff" or "its very difficult" because if you think like that, the subconscious mind wont let you progress any further no matter how hard you try. You can only do it if you believe it enough to be true.

    • 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!!
