Gurfateh ji,

many many thanks!

This shabad by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, what does it actually mean? I know its a bir ras shabad, but not much else. Also where is this shabad written? I havent ever seen in it the Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji.

Gurfateh Ji!

In reply to x_suman_x, Many people experienced these things in Baba Jis lifetime, first hand. My mums grandfather was one, whom would tell great stories of Baba Nand Singh Ji, amazing stuff. and u can find many others whom have experienced the glory of Baba Ji in such a way. Obviously many whom were alive at the time of Baba Ji have left this world, but the stories have passed down generations.

What is the difference between Pad-ched and Lareevaar saroops? This may sound like a silly question, but i hear many people talkin about this, but i dont really know what it means, if someone could explain it all to me, id be very grateful! Gurfateh Ji!

They were in Karamsar, Ilford for a few days. I loved there kirtan and katha, amazing.

yeah was wicked! i was late so had 2 go upstairs and woch it on da screen, didnt get to take any photos

"How the Sikhs lost their Kingdom" - Khushwant Singh. Its on Amazon. Its quite an interesting read about how the British defeated the Sikhs and the role of different people and groups in this. Its not too biased so it looks at the situation from different angles and stuff.

Man i cant even download anything from the hub, it always says no slots available.

wicked seva man! What amazing keertan

On the High Road, half way in between Seven Kings Station and Ilford station (about a 5-10 minute walk from the town centre)

wicked recordings, i was at the event and it was well good

Thanks guys

Gurfateh Jee

I presume both these shabads are from the Bani of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee, does anyone know where in the Bani of Guru Jee i can find these?

Thanks

The above tells you how much Guru jee valued the rehat of keeping hair, how can those whom apparently love Guru Jee, ignore such an imporant message of Guru Jee? Keeping hair is such a simple thing! People just long it up cos they dont have faith in Guru jee.

Yeah Vishkarma pooja is mainly done at home from what I have seen here in the UK. My uncles do it every year and usually take a day off from work on the occasian, and they spent most of their younger days in East Africa.

Some of the 'history' in the new Sampardas section on the site is very one sided, and concentrates on the negatives but does not look at any positives, of certain sampardas.

Yep same thing happened to me, starts skipping after 10 seconds.

All the keertan on this thread is awesome!

The importance that is put into Bhai Gurdas Jis writings, that same importance is given to Bhai Nand Lal Ji. Bhai Sahib Ji was a very good Gursikh of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, whom Guru Ji was very impressed with. Even the shabad, "Nasro Mansoor Guru Gobind Singh", is of Bhai Nand Lal Ji.

When I was a kid watching Baba Isher Singh Jis videotapes had such a major influence bringing me into Sikhi. And even when I feel I am straying from the path of Sikhi, i listen to Baba Jee and it puts me back on track. Also my Nan used to tell me Sakhis about Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Baba Nand Singh Ji. Those priceless moments have helped my life in such a positive way. Thanks to Waheguru for their kirpa on this moorakh.

Yep in the Tankhahnama, Bhai Nand Lal Ji asks Guru Gobind Singh Ji about which deeds are good and bad. Then Guru Ji answers Bhai Sahibs Jis question.

The final dohra of Guru Jis reply in the Tankhahnama is the following, and the first 2 lines are contained in the Ardas:

Dohra

The Khalsa will rule and the rebels will be eliminated,

All will be obliged to join and only those who surrender will survive.

The is the directive of the Guru, that if the son of a Sikh shaves the head,

His posterity will be ruined, and if a shaven one becomes a Sikh, his descendents will flourish.

In terms of proper Raags, Bhai Balbir Singh Ji is amazing, but their are many other proper Raagis whom are also brilliant.

In terms of shabads which are not in their actual raags, i would have to say Professor Darshan Singh Ji's keertan is most captivating. The way they interpret Gurbani with so much depth and care is an excellent resource for Sikhs to learn from.

A Khanda is of great significance in its meaning and to put it on such a product is totally wrong.

Sikhs are not even meant to wear such things, their meant to wear Kasheras.

Such offence and 'neglect of understanding' of Sikhism should not be tolerated by any whom consider themselves to be true Sikhs. Obviously action by Sikhs should not be taken in a manner which will bring more harm to the views others have of Sikhs.

Where can I get the complete Siri Bhagauti Astoutar? Or the Budha Dal Gutka that it is found in?

Brilliant, thanks for your help ji.

Gurfateh!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Das was listening to Bhai Balbir Singh Jis keertan, and wanted to know where the line "Sada Jai Bhagauti" is from in the Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji? Also the shabad "Rogan Te Ar Sogan Te" as well? Thanks.
