Mystical

Thats nice!

Some Sikhs believe Maharaj will come back. Muslims believe Imam Mahdi will come. Christians believe that only the bride of Christ will be saved, i.e. The Soul Brides of God.

"This video is taken from the Yug Pravah Video Magazine vol 95 (online) of All World Gayatri Pariwar (www.awgp.org). Sharad Pardhiji (the ... all » speaker) is a disciple of Yug Rishi Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya who had done 24 Mahapurashcharnas (24 Lakh Gayatri mantra per year for 24 years) before founding All World Gayatri Pariwar and has written over 2700 life-transforming books touching all facets of human life. He was also a big proponent of Scientific Spirituality and has given references to scientific research from all over the world in many of his writings. He pioneered the revival of spirituality and creative integration of the modern and ancient sciences and religion, relevant in the challenging circumstances of the present times." The video is in Hindi but has english subtitles, I found this very Interesting, take a look. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...003834905326157

On that note. I feel the meaning of Gurbani is being changed because the truer meanings of the words have been lost to the mainstream Sikhs. No mainstream sikh knows Sanskrit, let alone the other languages written by Guru Ji in Adh Guru Granth Sahib. I know Nirmalay Sikhs know a lot about Gurmuki. But are there other sampardaya's that teach the true meanings of a word from the original language it came from?

Yeah that was him. That talk was about 2 years ago I think? As for the word Simran now I feel his interpretation is wrong. If he knew Sanskrit im sure he wouldnt have that interpretation.

It was called, "The Story of India", good documentry. You can buy it on DVD now. Or watch em on googlevideo.com :wink:

haha that's funny. Great skills.

I think to keep this Jyot inside us we need to keep the jyot lit or we will be in darkness.

What are theses Nine Treasures? Is there some kind of list?

Thanks guys, any more? Please keep it coming

I'm after Aarti Shabad, couldn't see it on Kirtan.org Can anyone give me a link?

Guru Nanak Dev Ji roamed the whole of South Asia!! OMG!!!! Shock horror! Thats for sure Anti-Sikh!! (Being sarcastic) Did you also know that they taken Guru Granth Sahib outside during wars for example in WWI and WWII? Today I feel that the problem is that Guru Jis bani is boxed in four walls, seva is only to be done inside the gurdwaray, and only done for gurdwaray. And I keep seeing new acronyms used that some how relate to Sikhism, for example S.I.K.H.

I actually got a copy of Pandit Gulab Singh's Bhavrasamrit, its a good book.

Address: 60 Kingsbridge Cresent, Southall, Middlesex, UB1 2DL. Directions: http://www.gurdwarananaksar.org/english/so...directions.html

I recognise the severdarah too, its one of roads on lady Margaret Road. I can get you the address if you want.

You know what, this Gurdwara is in Southall not Coventry (I know the link says Coventry), I've been to this gurdwara before, in the Darbar Sahib near sachkand they got a big picture of Guru Nanak at the end.

Does anyone here know how Guru Har Gobind Jis Akali's lived?

Gurbani gives nourishment to the Soul, to keep you going. Body and Soul are different things but both have to be in-lined with each other.

Happy gurpurab

Two people in India? ok. Yes of course height doesn't matter, if you learn Shastar Vidiya, you will learn to take a person taller than you. Ok lets take this into account then. Of course Guru Gobind Singh Ji is sargun form of Almighty Guru. You add that Guru Ji is "free from genetics". If Guru Ji's Singhs are not free from genetics how are they going fight for Justice? If there was no Protein shakes during the time of Guru Har Gobind, how would Singhs develop Physical Strength?

To me I dont think he knows how Guru Ji looks like, like anyone here. If you hear another version of a story would you change your perception? What I'm trying to say is do more research. The audio recording also say Guru Gobind Singh ji was 5.4 foot tall, when Guru Hargobind Ji was over 6 foot tall. If Guru Hargobind Ji was his great Grand Father then how did Guru Gobind Singh ji come to be 5.4 feet tall? I feel Yogi Bhajan said he was Vegetarian because Yogi Bhajan favoured the Vegetarian life style.

I found something from here. His Khalsa, like him was to fight against all forms of religious bigotry and political tyranny. In Sarbloh Guru Durbar, Akali Nihang Guru Gobind Singh speaks of the ten virtues to be adopted by the Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa warrior and ten vices to be abandoned. Ten Guna (Virtues) of Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa: 1. Compassion 2. Charity 3. Forgiveness 4. Cleanliness 5. Control of mind 6. Purity 7. Appreciation of truth 8. Spiritually accomplished being 9. Warrior 10. Devotee of God and none other Ten Oguna (Vices) that the Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa must avoid: 1. Mentality against contemplation and meditation 2. Indiscriminate violence 3. False pride 4. Laziness 5. Miserliness 6. Heartlessness 7. Stupidity 8. Wearing dirty clothes 9. Impurity 10. Evil heart. The Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa was to be a spiritual warrior of Akal (immortal God). Bhai Nand Lal Goya, the personal scribe of Guru Gobind Singh, defined the Khalsa thus: ‘Khalsa is he who forsakes slander. Khalsa is he who fights at the vanguard. Khalsa is he who slays the five [ie. controls lust, wrath, greed, false attachment and ego]. Khalsa is he who burns [destroys] superstition. Khalsa is he who forsakes [overcomes the trappings of] ego. Khalsa is he who runs from another’s woman [abstains from adultery]. Khalsa is he who does not look at another’s woman. Khalsa is he who is absorbed in God’s name. Khalsa is he who obeys the Guru’s word. Khalsa is he who takes the weapon blows on his face [meaning fights at the vanguard]. Khalsa is he who nurtures the poor. Khalsa is he who destroys evil beings. Khalsa is he who contemplates God’s name. Khalsa is he who attacks the Malesh [meaning 'the filthy', ie. Moghal armies of Aurangzeb]. Khalsa is he who attaches others to Nirankar God's name. Khalsa is he who breaks all restraints [of caste, superstition, ignorance, etc.]. Khalsa is he who rides the war horse. Khalsa is he who wages war [both the external and internal war against his own mind]. Khalsa is he who bears weapons. Khalsa is he who kills the evil one.’ (‘Rehitnameh’, Piara Singh Padam, Pa.59) http://www.sarbloh.info/htmls/guru_akalinihang.html

You can also ask yourself something, does one become Khalsa just by drinking Amrit? Or does the definition of a Khalsa which Guru Ji gave go deeper?

"Kuji Kiri is the secret method of finger weaving used by the ninjas of Japan. Originally, these were Aryan Hindu ksatrian warrior methods that were passed along via Buddhism to Japan. Used for health as well as meditation, they are highly effective in both jujitsu and health maintenance, being useful for the prevention and treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis since they gently stretch the tendons and increase qi flow through the hand meridians."

I agree totally to that. Being a Sikh is a stepping stone to being a Khalsa. Once your a Khalsa, its becomes your Jaat. But first before you become khalsa, you need a Guru, hence the need to be a Sikh before.
