In case you guys didn't listen to it, I managed to listen to the entire 15 minutes or so and type it out to the best of my ability.

Here goes...

Physical description of the personality of Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee

Guru Gobind Singh Jee's exact height was 5 feet 4.2 inches. No man with prettier features ever made by God. He had really long hands, up to His knees or ankles. No one who looked at Him would realize the size of His hands. He could speak loudly but very softly and had a very musical voice. When He would listen, He could look into the eyes of the other person for hours without blinking. He could close His eyes calmly for hours.

His strength was such that He could keep 2 swords and circle them around His body for up to 4 hours at a stretch. He would ask an expert archer Sikh to strike Him with a bow and arrow. He would give 5 arrows to the Sikh, and cut the arrows coming towards Him. Thus He create a shield around him with 2 swords, such was His speed.

He was strictly vegetarian. His diet consisted of nuts, fruits, milk. Occasionally He would have rice and grams and sometimes visit the langar and eat there. He was particularly fond of the langar of Bhai Nand Lal. His dress was always perfectly wrinkle-free. He never wore a wrinkled cloth. He was the neatest, cleanest and most well-behaved man ever God made. He spoke gracefully and lovingly even to his worst enemies.

He never slept more than an hour in His entire life. Maximum sleep He ever had was 1 hour. He would lie down and get up. His mind was very meditative, and completely at rest. He breathed 1 breath per minute. His was the longest inhale and longest exhale. So He never lost His cool in the midst of the worst situations.

He was the epitome of patience. He was so graceful that even in war He would prefer to be graceful than to stoop down and achieve victory. His face was never without a smile. He rarely laughed, because His laugh was thunderous, and made all others laugh and it would go on for hours. Gurujee was the most spiritual poet. No one has ever written a complete poetry in complete naad.

He always had a white hawk. It was so gentle that it would go after the pigeon carrying the message from His enemies, and without hurting the pigeon a single bit, the hawk would take the message after taking down the pigeon, read the message, put it back and let the pigeon go. Thus the white hawk was an intelligence and radar mechanism of Guru Gobind Singh Jee. This hawk was trained to fly over Gurujee at a great height and could communicate with Gurujee's horse through its wing language. Once it came down like an arrow and the horse moved to one side and took shelter immediately without the need for Gurujee's command. There were people hidden to ambush the Sikhs. The hawk has a great place in the life of Gurujee. It was trained to be a perfect surveyor and could communicate with His horse from a height as high as the clouds.

As told by Siri Singh Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa a.k.a. Yogi Bhajan

"He had really long hands, up to His knees or ankles. No one who looked at Him would realize the size of His hands."

This bit sounds weird. Only a gorilla has arms like that.

ANY MORE POSTS THAT GO OFF TOPIC WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DELETED AND MEMBERS WILL GET WARNING. 'BHAI SAHIB', HAVE SOME RESPECT. EVEN IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT IS SAID, THERE'S A WAY TO SAY THAT IN A HUMBLE MANNER. GABROO, NO NEED TO FIGHT INSULTING WITH MORE INSULTING. EVERYBODY PLEASE BE AWARE, THERE ARE CHILDREN USING THIS FORUM TOO. WE ALL NEED A LESSON IN BEING HUMBLE.

THANK YOU

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
