Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Penji
Made me cry. Khalsa is within you. Waheguru. Much Love Penji. 
Khalsa purity, of love lives infinitely within every nano cellular level by vibrating the truth of love.
I'm very blessed to have sangat with a Khalsa Ji like Jagraj veerji. Whose words completely and wholly mesmerize and enrapture me. Those words spoken by Shabad Guru. Our beloved Gurbani.
Infinitely immortal, without judgment encasing pure unconditional love is what Khalsa Ji teaches. Let's send our love & unconditional support to Jagraj veerji knowing Gur is Poora and keeps his beloved lals always in chardi kala spreading much love & light ?❤️?
Thankyou to the sangat who have magically appeared to support & love

Virtual Sangat - every sunday became one of the exciting highlights for myself to listen to katha. Seeing and spending time with Jagraj Veerji changed my life and my mother knows to what levels. I started to live again.
His subtle compassion to tap into an issue without unfolding an entire personal story. I fought him fiercely with questions and he always won over with me giving deep love and respect to Bani.
Many girls have approached me from random walks of life - as girls do confide in each other. I always showered them with empathy and love. However I started getting advice from Khalsa Ji Jagraj Veer ji - and I started to realize the girls could only action once advice on issue given - Im in no position to give such gurmat advice. My heart bleeds as to how all these questions that come my way - how I can search out more than one khalsa Fauj member. Jagraj veer ji told me Khalsa is immortal. Im so overwhelmed. Sukhmani Sahib on repeat play.  Where are the khalsa brothers like him whose advice I can share with countless sisters.

WJKK WJKF - interesting listen.
However, sadly why do I feel I have never actually met any  persons truly representing Panj Pyare across UK, India or Canada. Breaking it down as in katha above, I truly believe the 5 Pyare are embodiment of such distinguished qualities that are NOT humanly possible to achieve to completion - so why do we get men dressed up representing such distinguished qualities ?
1. Daya  -  merciful, kind, compassionate
2. Dharam -   righteous living
3. Himmat -  courageous 
4. Muhkam - steadfast 
5. Sahib - masterly / lordly
Surely we should be confessing to the qualities not the people trying to represent the qualities. As this is what I feel Japji Sahib refers to.

Precisely, I have met many Hindus with this monotheistic view from vedas.

Why are you looking down on people who want to meditate or do bhagti ?
Shakti only comes after your are perfect in Bhagti.  Not the other way around.
Sant Jarnail Singh was a true  khalsa.He meditated on Japji Sahib.

Coming back to the topic at hand, try to attend the jaap programs. If you cannot, please do your own individual ardas as part of your nitnem. 

Veera & Virtual Sangat,
Just one small snippet of Jagraj Veerjs love, non judgment and humbleness. My mother put her hands out bowing to him thanking him that her daughter (me) was the little girl she raised (albeit stubborn) because of the his kathas, Q &As, actions, encouragement and support. He lifted my mother tears in eyes and bowed down completely to her. My mother is no MahaPurkash or even baptized. 
Jagraj veerji felt the heart of my mother - he heard her silent cries. And lifted her. He is observant and compassionate and knows when truth is being spoken.
The day (few year ago) when Jagraj veerji bowed to my first version of ParathMa - my Ma, I melted. Melted into an abyss. Jagraj veerji did not even know I was in the room observing.
Benti ... Pray for Jagraj Veerji. Bani is most powerful as he taught me and the little I have experienced.
 
Bhul Chuk Maaf Karna Mere Waheguru Saahib 

just to add a personal message..i have utmost respect for jugraj singh as he spoke of topics dear to me personally... he got very emotional on grooming which is a uk issue..but we had no backing from no one...let me tell you "show off" sikhs, when sh!t hits canada (first then usa)..us uk sikh mans will represent in numbers...
 

With Gurus grace , das was able to finish 1,25,000 repetition within 40 days but with many mistakes.
Hence, my experience will differ from those who will do it with more pure minds or at different spiritual stages. I did have some personal aspirations as a reason for this jaap. Only Guru Ji & time will tell.
regardless, Here was my experience:
- i stuck to mental japa because of time constraints. I think it will be impossible to do loud japa for 16 hours straight.
- most of the days were consistent 32 malas, however there were 4 days on which the number differed as following, 16, 6, etc
- 38-39 days were in one spot, i think i did end up changing the spot
- i did light jot for 38/40 days. lighting it everyday in itself was a challenge,,and so was making sure to keep water everyday
- the first week was full of enthusiasm, but the rest of the time it was ok
- first time i did it , it took around 5 hours, then slowly the mental speed got faster and i averaged between 3 to 3 hours 45 minutes / 32 malas depending on mental alertness. if i was sleepy it would take 4 hrs to finish
- as for focus & concentration....that was only the first 20 minutes...but the rest of the time mind was distracted with many thoughts, mostly thoughts of lust & vishe vikar
Things I learnt:
- it is very difficult to take on 40 day challenge or chalisas with fixed timing, fixed spot , fixed ghee jot, water everyday. I think these are successful for mahapurush of pure mind, who have control over their minds. it is better to do a khula japa with less restrictions.
- i cannot ever entertain the thought of doing a siddhi of a mantra...i would rather do a casual japa of moolmantra with loose timings.
 
Post-Japa
-  i dont think I am sensitive enough to notice any changes yet...the mental state is same,..hmmm... i think a ton of japa is needed, in my case, to hammer my mind, also along with japa mind needs to be trained 24/7 to live consciously and make conscious choices.
 
I have had this desire to do this japa for a long time, almost a decade. I am glad Guru Ji got it done from me...rest is upto him to take care of me ...
 
 
 
 

A true inspiration , a role model , a doer - may waheguru keep him and his family in chardi kala
Tina KAur Bains , very touching and yet beautiful how such a soul changed ones life and in fact many with is passion and love for Sikhi. 
A true Gursikh where , all you read is praise upon praise upon raise  and sincere praise... so beautiful 
Penji Khalsa is within you , keep doing what you are doing  to enhance your sikhi , you too will start giving advice with maharaj ji's kirpa

asurs - origins vedics meaning demons.   Look around there are many in fancy dress from cloths, dhootis, salwaar kamzees pyjama suits, white & blue robes - 
Dont let the exterior fool you. As daily we are reminded

Note : Translations to english of of asian languages does not provide justice, as often there is not a 1:1 interpretation. Hence some essence if lost in translation more than often.

I don't think this is the case.
Khalsa was the army only. They should uphold the core principles passed down by the 10 Gurus and they should be ready to fight in battles at a moment's notice. And so the disciplines for being a warrior, keeping yourself healthy, etc all followed. These disciplines are not required by the general Sikh population.
No he did not intend all Sikh to be in the Khalsa army. Of course he wanted the khalsa army to be as big as possible but he also recognized that many Sikhs would be unfit for the army.
I think words like Sehajdhari and Amritdhari emerged during British Rah to categorize Sikhs.
When these words are understood in the context of Guru Granth Sahib, they mean the same thing. However when understood in the context of public sphere then they are referring to two very different groups of people.
A lot of families gave 'Khande da Amrit' to children after they are born. However we do not call these children Amritdhari.
 
All Sikhs were initiated by their Gurus via Charn Amrit. This was a tradition wide spread in India. So all Sikhs were baptized by Gurus. All Sikhs of 10 Gurus were baptized by the Gurus. Some did it through Charn Amrit , others did through Khande da Amrit.
However unlike previous Gurus, Guru Gobind Singh ji's baptism was for creation of Khalsa army also, so not all Sikhs underwent this special initiation.

Kaur comes from Kunwar which actually means prince and Rajput ladies generally had Kunwar attached to their names in the past is what i recall of mentioning . It was giving a masculine form to the females from their tribe and they too were trained in Shastarvidiya and horse riding .

Commonalities in all spiritual practices tend to be these ideas of love and compassion. Even in the past few weeks, I have noticed that being in a very positive and compassionate frame of thinking pushes the mind into a very deep blissful state of meditation. 
 
Is there any reason behind this phenomenon?
What do you personally do to stay in this frame of mindset?

Sikh, Hindu & Muslim research on empire, faith & war here  http://www.empirefaithwar.com/ Immense research done via various sources across UK, India and Pakistain. Its a complex & sensitive research programme .
I met Iqbal Hussain from The National Archives last week as learning office on Muslim contribution to WWWs.
Research experts on the field can further enlighten you on this. If you like I can share details.
 
 

haan ji pehen ji jarrur ...there is one in Rishikesh that i know off my head and i happened to have darsan of one of the Sants there. I was foolish enough to have not interacted with haume in my head that i dont need any Dehdhaari Babas to teach me .

Firstly, after the Anglo Sikh wars, those who mainly took part in the mutiny...they had fought against the Sikhs some years earlier so the Sikhs did not want to help them, it was their way of taking revenge against them in the Anglo Sikh wars.
