But those eternal principles which are part of Sruti

im not really knowledgable so what is Sruti and what are the eternal principles?

Hinduism can be criticized. But Sanatana Dharma cannot.

Is that not the problem then Hinduism is claiming to be Sanatana Dharma.

When was the word sanatan dharma first coined up ?

thanks maha singh and jattboot i'll get searching , i found this dudeee

Well im looking to take up some form of martial arts so i thoguht i'd ask the sangat for any recommendations. What your views on Ninjistu, Thai Chi and Akido?

Ive done Thai boxing and abit of boxing for a while so im not sure if i should try something new

Lol what an idiot he is

That's pretty easy to change, Singh. It also assumes he's still in the same location.

i heard you only have to unplug your moderm for a few mins and it changes

Through the grace of the late Sant Baba Joga Singh Ji,

I have come across the Shardaa Pooran Granth which was attributed to Bhai Mani Singh Shahid. I know many members wanted information on this particular granth, its quite interesting from my viewing so far.

The granth contains various lines from gurbani and it gives a method of how many times to say it in how many days to reap certain fruits. From what I've read these include, aatamik gyaan, making ones (mind) shaant (peaceful), to get darshan (view) of Guru Ji, to get rid of dukh (pain) and illness, and even stuff like making it rain so crops grow, to yield a good produce in your fields, to get a wife quickly.

The methodology of how to do these are interesting and it is explained at the start. The mangalacharans are also interesting and I will post them.

The most interesting one, in my opinion, was one where it said if you do 7,000 recitations of the shabad below, from Tuesday till the next Tuesday. So that would be 1000 recitations per day.

Sunai Saraa Gunaa Ke Gaaha

Sunai Sek Peer Patishaah

Sunai Ande Paavah Raahu

Sunai Haath Hovai Asgaahu

Nanak Bhagata Sadaa Vigaas

Sunai Dookh Paap Ka Naas

The phal (reward) of this would be to get darshan (view) in your sleep of your Isht Dev.

I will post more, if anyone has any information about this granth, or questions let me know. One member of the board asked me if I could photograph the whole granth. I will digitize the granth, but as exams are coming up in december, it might not till happen till mid to late dec.

What is Isht Dev?

also are the 1000 jaaps a day to be done in one sitting? can it be done standing? walking? etc...

also what other types of rewards are there? from the different japs in the granth? maybe you could post more in english as my punjabi isnt the best

I got a question, hopefully i am not going of topic.

Why have some of you felt this divine light, divine, mother/father etc... while people like me havent?

is it simply karma? or am i doing something wrong somwhere

Reminds me of the Zen koan. "If you see the Buddha on the road, cut him down."

Just make sure that it's not just any old buddha that you cut down.

K.

hahaha made my day

Out of curiosity what is the ardas in that gutka?

so let me get this straight guptsingh you don’t believe in jaap Sahib or chaupai, tva prasaad?
