Sikher

Very good !

I take it you don't beleive in Bhagat Kabir Ji's Bani either then

From seeing angels of death [fearing death] now I see but Ram [Ramachandar/Nirankar God].

My suffering has fled and comfort taken abode [in my heart].

Those denying God [the five senses], have become noble [having acknowledged Nirankar God].

Now I have attained complete bliss.

I have been cooled [mind settled] when I appreciated Gobind [God].

In the body are found innumerable troubles.

Now, spontaneously in comfort, I am absorbed in God.

I have recognized my true self.

Now no ailment of the three fevers affects me.

Now my mind has changed and become Sanatan.

Now I appreciate [Truth] having died whilst alive [meaning being unaffected by temptations of the world].

Says Kabir, in comfort spontaneously be absorbed in God.

I fear no one, nor am I intimidated by anyone.’

(‘Adi Guru Durbar’, Raag Gauri, Pa.326-327)

I like the calendar idea maybe a "Celebration of Sikh Art Calendar" for next year.

How about some websites with Sikh Artifacts and other circulated pictures, that sangat can see and maybe a facility to buy a print online framed maybe.

As far as I can see are:

http://www.sikhcybermuseum.org/ (More History than Art) but they have done a great job of old war time pictures

http://www.sikh-heritage.co.uk/frame.htm (Fantastic Site) even though people panic about the namdhari Slant.

also the obvious www.sarbloh.info for some rare pictures

Any more ideas?

In a reponse to the "Threat to Sikh Heritage" what can people out there do to Preserve Heitage.

Let's see what comes out..............

List as we go

1) Use a Digital Camera and Capture Any Images of any Visits to Gurdwara's etc

2) Any Painting's on Gurdwara walls take Pictures of and find out the artists name and backgorund.

3) Record Digitally and "Gupt/Not so read ballards/poems" or any Dasam/Sarbloh Guru Darbar Bania ontp MP3/CD.

4) ..............

This post is most inspiring maybe it may some up some of the debates going on

:shock: powerful :shock:

I have just read this article again it is seriously inspirational and thoughtful to many peoples hidden truths/agenda's/lies.

What about all the uncles/aunty's and the thousands of punjabis's that cut their hair/drink/eat meat sleep around and then go to bow to Guru Granth Sahib on Sunday are they more "Sikh"?

Is it me or is this link just such a proof of insecurity

If you notice,the shastervidiya.org/sarbloh.info has had an admin cut I wonder why? :roll:

Fair point, would never hit the mainstream maybe one day then again nihung maryada from what I can see is not for everyone. (please beg to differ)

I will have to "sikh" out this info from elsewhere

True say Dynamiic

However, Does anyone have any more information on the origins of the colour change from blue to orange?

Have you tried to talk to him, with Love :welcome: to the club

Ok this thread got me thinking,

http://sikhawareness.com/sikhawareness/viewtopic.php?t=4353

If the RSS are using a saffron(orange) flag, should sikhs not begin to use their original BLUE nishan sahibs(sikh flags) to remain distinct?

I have seen a few old pictures such as, one the Jaito Morcha with Singh's holding Neela(blue) nishan sahibs

Does anyone have any more information on the origins of the colour change from blue to orange?

What a joke, a person who finds Guru (Satguru) you cannot change their mind what ever people write/propogate

(Saffron flag)??? Bring back the Blue

"Raghubir claimed that RSS had earlier taken out a similar yatra during the tercentenary of birth of Khalsa from Patna Sahib to Anandpur Sahib which was led by Parmanand Ji Maharaj. He claimed that chief of Damdami Taksa, Baba Thakur Singh had welcomed the yatra and had arranged for the langar at Chowk Mehta. "

Please Explain this ?

Not just Nihungs that have belief in Sri Dasam Granth,Sant's know the deal too,just never been mentioned before.

Sant Teja Singh Ji has been keenly devoted to the Gurbani. Besides the 'Banis' of 'Nitnem' and 'Panj Granthi' he has learnt most of 'Shri Dasam Granth Sahib' by heart. Sant Isher Singh Ji used to be charmed by his recital of Gurbani

Brilliant

Cane sticks I hear are used sometimes for the major high ones

This debate is going no where

What is this picture of? Is it Bhai Mani Singh Ji Shaheed giving discourse to Nihungs. Please confirm

Sant Attar Singh Mustuana, Sant Baba Nand Singh ji (Nanaksarvale), Sant Gurbachan Singh Bhindranwale, Sant Sundar Singh Bhindranwale, Baba Jagjit Singh Herkhowal, Baba Jwala Singh Herkhowal, Sant Mukhtiar Singh Saarang, Sant Bishan Singh Muralewale..

WOW they are some of the greatest of this century, I recently came across a book called, "Sikh Saints" by Harbans Singh Doabia,in there he mentions that babaji Baba Nand Singh ji originated from Nirmalay.

Excellent very good like you said everyone has this stero-type of lame, nahkame"lazy/non-workers"/druggies etc, hence, one can follow the maryada and live in this world as normal family man.

With your wife everything is there for satifaction, to build relationship

Well said,Jhamka

Is this all we ever do is argue over the point who done what etc

Move on respect each others maryada's etc and strive on there are still millions of people out there who could benefit from Sikhi but we are too busy "nit-picking".

(These lines were impressed on a seal made by the Sikhs after the Guru left for his heavenly abode, and were adopted by Ranjit Singh for his coinage after he had assumed the title of Maharaja in the Punjab)

I didn't know that I thought it was written down in Sri Dasam Granth,or some other text, has anyone any more information on this passage?

amazing goat pictures
