  2. Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Maybe this can be used to show our fellow Muslims how much acceptance and tolerance is there in Sikhi.
  3. THIS IS A BOMB I HAVE HARDLY EVER READ ANYTHING CLOSE TO THIS MUCH MUCH RESPECT TO YOU VEERJEE NO WORDS LEFT
  4. http://www.tapoban.org/phorum/read.php?f=1...107&t=15107 Adorning weapons, chakars [quoits] and knifes they wore many [in their dumallas – high conical turbans]. Forty kilos of weapons and armour they adorned. Dressed alike were young and old women. They were strong, powerful and of great charity. Some wore dress of women. Five dressed like men [i.e. in full warrior dress]. Getting Singh and Singhnias ready thus. Sending one Sirdar with them, the Singhnia set off towards the royal palace. The powerful Singhs stood outside. All the royal women came out to see them. They [singhs] had great moustache and beards. Their eyes were full of rage and eyebrows greater. Wearing many weapons. Seeing their great form and beauty, they were as if incarnations of the warrior spirit. The Begams were astonished. Begams sent them [singhs] gifts. Saluting the Singhs, they sent them away. Then they looked at the Singhnia. They took them into their palace. They [singhnia] said, “Sat Siri Akalâ€. They replied “Salaam†and sat them down. Seeing their form and strong bodies. Dressed in armour and weapons. Listening to their conversation of plundering and war. And how to kill a hunt. And how to aim with bows and muskets. Hearing them, they were astonished. Under their ‘Salwars’ [trouser like garments], were ‘Kashehras’ [breeches]. Seeing their great clothes. Listening to their manly words. The Begams were astounded. The four Singhnia had a special female dress. They wore silver ornaments twenty pounds in weight. Seeing this they were awe struck. Their Salwars were twenty yard long. They wore heavy lower garments. Their top knots stood span and half high. Their Shmeezes were of special design. Their physiques were large and heavy. Seeing them the Begams were astounded because they stood unarmed and weak of body. Fearing the Singhnia they cowered to half their size. Then began discussion on religion. Singhnia dismissed all other religions. The traditions of Muslims [Turks] they called false. The way of Mohammed they said was full of faults. The Singhnia described all the atrocities of the Turks. Hearing them the Begams shuddered. Shocked they covered their mouths with their hands. Hearing of the chastity, sincerity and morals of the Singhs. The Begams spoke nodding their heads. “Singhnia you are of great fate. You move about with you husbands. We are pathetic and suffer greatly. Our life is like life imprisonment. One king has sixty wives. By marrying we are as if trapped in a trapâ€.’ (‘Naveen Panth Prakash’, Giani Gian Singh Nirmala, 1877, Bhasha Vibhag Publication, Pa.1151-1153)
  5. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh so SGGS does't say to keep hair is interpreted as we shudn't keep hair...hmmm... question 1 : SGGS does not say to keep hair, so why should we keep hair? fair enuff... question 2 : SGGS does not say to cut hair either, so why should we cut it? hmmm ? bhul chuk maaf waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
  6. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh sorry if my dum thoughts offended anyone...again these were just questions to myself, and can be far from right (well maybe they are)... waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
  7. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh i have thought about this as well...here is what i think...and lemme mention in advance that this is just my way of thinking which can very well be wrong and is open to corrections...also, i apologize before hand if this is offensive... shahadah : There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger...now break it up and see how it looks like... There is no God -->> atheism ? But Allah -->> fanaticism ? as only Allah is the name of God and all others are fake names? and Muhammad is His messenger -->> thats like claiming God as a property of those who follow Muhammad Sahib... Now the moolmantar ikkoangkaar : There is only one God ->> a true fact satnaam : True is His Name -->> another true fact karta purkh, nirbhau, nirvair, akaal moorat, ajooni saibhan(g) : the qualities of God, namely creator, fearless, hateless, timeless/deathless, unborn/self-existent gurprasad : realized thru the Guru ( and for those who follow the complete version, here is more ) aad sach jugaad sach : was true in the beginning and has been true always hai bhi sach : is true even now nanak hosi bhi sach : will be true eternally in future as well dunno if i made sense, but u can make ur mind as to which one actually tells u more about God... bhul chuk maaf waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
  8. The sign of a true GurSikh! Gurujee said it and thats it! Proud of you veeray!
  9. By the way, tomorrow is Bhai Taru Singh Jee's shaheedi diwas. A great GurSikh whose scalp was taken off, but his hair couldn't be cut off!
  10. sukhi, silence kaur bhenji said "If someone lost their hair through disease"...so i said its natural...coz mostly diseases are natural...i guess thats true...u are to stay natural as God made u...its only when u tamper with what nature put on u that u realize, or may realize what u've lost...
  11. Bhenji, that would be natural right? So howcome the loss of bhagti as losing hair or cancer was also hukam in the first place?
  12. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh Therefore each pore of your being meditates on Waheguru. Taking it off would be one's own spiritual loss. I heard a similar theory in a katha by Gyani Sant Singh Jee Maskeen @ proudtobesikh.com, under Gurbani Viakhia Sahit, entitled Kakaar. hope that helped waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
  13. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh many many happy returns of the day purkha stay in chardi kala akaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal hi akaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal ananddddddddddddddddd hi ananddddddddddddddddd waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
  14. one thing i heard is that he was in the indian intelligence, and he says that shaheed satwant singh and shaheed beant singh shot dead indra gandhi coz they found out she was planning a massacre of Sikhs in amritsar by waging a war on pakistan and blaming Sikhs to be "traitors" and helpers of pakistan...this was called operation shanti...they found this and shot her dead before she could order any such attack...dunno the details though...
  15. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh Since Sikhi teaches equality, i don't think a Sikh should bad-mouth any religion. We have the greatest of the greatest example of Guru Tegh Bahadur Jee who sacrificed His life for religious freedom of Hindus, gave His life to protect the janeu (tilak janju rakha prabh ta ka) which Sikhi is totally against (janeu symbolizes caste superiority). So why talk ill of any religion at all? Remember there are good and bad people in all communities, and so bad-mouthing an entire community coz of a few bad apples is a very immature and irrational generalization and foolish stereotyping. bhul chuk maaf waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
  16. eka naari jati howe, par naari dhee bhain vakhaani
  17. Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! HAPPY GURPURAB EVERYONE
  18. One Day a good woman said something that hurt her best friend of many years. She regretted immediately and would have done anything to take back those thoughtless words. Close as she and her friend were, she hadn't considered the effects of her hasty action. What the woman said hurt her friend so much that she herself felt the pain she had caused. In an effort to undo what she had done, she went to a village elder for advice. The older woman listened patiently to determine just how sincere she was, then asked "What are you willing to do to repair the damage done?" The answer was heartfelt: "Anything!" There are two things you need to do to make amends. The first is extremely difficult. Tonight, open a small hold in each of your best feather pillows. Then take out the feathers, Before the sun rises, you must place one feather on the doorstep of each house in the town. When you are through, I'll thee you the second task." The good woman hurried home to prepare for the chore, even though the pillows were very expensive and dear to her. All night long, she worked alone in the cold, going from door to door and placing a feather on each doorstep, taking care not to miss a single house. Her finger were frozen, and the wind was sharp it caused her eyes to water. But she trudged through the streets, thankful there was something she could so to set things right again. Finally, as the sky was getting bright, she placed the last feather on the doorstep of the last door. Just the sun rose, she returned to the village. She was exhausted., but relieved that her efforts would soon be rewarded. My pillows are empty, I placed a feather on the doorstep of each house." "Now", said the wise women, "go back and refill your pillows, Then everything will be as it was before." The young woman was stunned, That's impossible ! The wind blew away the feather as soon fast as I placed them on the doorstep! You didn't say I had to get them back. If this is the second task, then things can never be the same again."That's true," said the wise old woman. Never forget, Each of your words is like a feather in the wind. Once spoken, no amount of effort, regardless of how heartfelt or sincere, can never get them back into your mouth again. So choose your words well and guard them, especially in the presence of those you love."

  24. Stubborn mindedness This Shabad is by Guru Amar Daas Ji in Siree Raag on Pannaa 65 Siree Raag, Third Mehl: Those who go around acting in egotism are struck down by the Messenger of Death with his club. Those who serve the True Guru are uplifted and saved, in love with the Lord. ||1|| O mind, become Gurmukh, and meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Those who are so pre-destined by the Creator are absorbed into the Naam, through the Guru's Teachings. ||1||Pause|| Without the True Guru, faith does not come, and love for the Naam is not embraced. Even in dreams, they find no peace; they sleep immersed in pain. ||2|| Even if you chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, with great longing, your past actions are still not erased. The Lord's devotees surrender to His Will; those devotees are accepted at His Door. ||3|| The Guru has lovingly implanted the Word of His Shabad within me. Without His Grace, it cannot be attained. Even if the poisonous plant is watered with ambrosial nectar a hundred times, it will still bear poisonous fruit. ||4|| Those humble beings who are in love with the True Guru are pure and true. They act in harmony with the Will of the True Guru; they shed the poison of ego and corruption. ||5|| Acting in stubborn-mindedness, no one is saved; go and study the Simritees and the Shaastras. Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and practicing the Shabads of the Guru, you shall be saved. ||6|| The Name of the Lord is the Treasure, which has no end or limitation. The Gurmukhs are beauteous; the Creator has blessed them with His Mercy. ||7|| O Nanak, the One Lord alone is the Giver; there is no other at all. By Guru's Grace, He is obtained. By His Mercy, He is found. ||8||2||19|| This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Gauree on Pannaa 251 Shalok: By all sorts of religious robes, knowledge, meditation and stubborn-mindedness, no one has ever met God. Says Nanak, those upon whom God showers His Mercy, are devotees of spiritual wisdom. ||1|| This Shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Aasaa on Pannaa 356 Aasaa, First Mehl: He Himself does everything, the True, Invisible, Infinite Lord. I am a sinner, You are the Forgiver. ||1|| By Your Will, everything come to pass. One who acts in stubborn-mindedness is ruined in the end. ||1||Pause|| The intellect of the self-willed manmukh is engrossed in falsehood. Without the meditative remembrance of the Lord, it suffers in sin. ||2|| Renounce evil-mindedness, and you shall reap the rewards. Whoever is born, comes through the Unknowable and Mysterious Lord. ||3|| Such is my Friend and Companion; meeting with the Guru, the Lord, devotion was implanted within me. ||4|| In all other transactions, one suffers loss. The Name of the Lord is pleasing to Nanak's mind. ||5||24|| This Shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Aasaa on Pannaa 469 Pauree: If an educated person is a sinner, then the illiterate holy man is not to be punished. As are the deeds done, so is the reputation one acquires. So do not play such a game, which will bring you to ruin at the Court of the Lord. The accounts of the educated and the illiterate shall be judged in the world hereafter. One who stubbornly follows his own mind shall suffer in the world hereafter. ||12|| This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Gujri on Pannaa 496 Goojaree, Fifth Mehl: He decides to go to the west, but the Lord leads him away to the east. In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; He holds all matters in His hands. ||1|| Cleverness is of no use at all. Whatever my Lord and Master deems to be right - that alone comes to pass. ||1||Pause|| In his desire to acquire land and accumulate wealth, one's breath escapes him. He must leave all his armies, assistants and servants; rising up, he departs to the City of Death. ||2|| Believing himself to be unique, he clings to his stubborn mind, and shows himself off. That food, which the blameless people have condemned and discarded, he eats again and again. ||3|| One, unto whom the Lord shows His natural mercy, has the noose of Death cut away from him. Says Nanak, one who meets the Perfect Guru, is celebrated as a householder as well as a renunciate. ||4||4||5|| This Shabad is by Guru Amar Daas Ji in Raag Vadhans on Pannaa 593 Shalok, Third Mehl: No one has ever found the Lord through stubborn-mindedness. All have grown weary of performing such actions. Through their stubborn-mindedness, and by wearing their disguises, they are deluded; they suffer in pain from the love of duality. Riches and the supernatural spiritual powers of the Siddhas are all emotional attachments; through them, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, does not come to dwell in the mind. Serving the Guru, the mind becomes immaculately pure, and the darkness of spiritual ignorance is dispelled. The jewel of the Naam is revealed in the home of one's own being; O Nanak, one merges in celestial bliss. ||1|| This Shabad is by Guru Amar Daas Ji in Raag Sorath on Pannaa 644 Third Mehl: The mind of the self-willed manmukh is so very stubborn; it is stuck in the love of duality. He does not find peace, even in dreams; he passes his life in misery and suffering. The Pandits have grown weary of going door to door, reading and reciting their scriptures; the Siddhas have gone into their trances of Samaadhi. This mind cannot be controlled; they are tired of performing religious rituals. The impersonators have grown weary of wearing false costumes, and bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines. They do not know the state of their own minds; they are deluded by doubt and egotism. By Guru's Grace, the Fear of God is obtained; by great good fortune, the Lord comes to abide in the mind. When the Fear of God comes, the mind is restrained, and through the Word of the Shabad, the ego is burnt away. Those who are imbued with Truth are immaculate; their light merges in the Light. Meeting the True Guru, one obtains the Name; O Nanak, he is absorbed in peace. ||2|| This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Soohee on Pannaa 738 Soohee, Fifth Mehl, Third House: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: His service is insignificant, but his demands are very great. He does not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, but he says that he has arrived there||1|| He competes with those who have been accepted by the Beloved Lord. This is how stubborn the false fool is! ||1||Pause|| He wears religious robes, but he does not practice Truth. He says that he has found the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, but he cannot even get near it. ||2|| He says that he is unattached, but he is intoxicated with Maya. There is no love in his mind, and yet he says that he is imbued with the Lord. ||3|| Says Nanak, hear my prayer, God: I am silly, stubborn and filled with sexual desire - please, liberate me! ||4|| I gaze upon the glorious greatness of the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. You are the Giver of Peace, the Loving Primal Being. ||1||Second Pause||1||7|| This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Kaanraa on Pannaa 1308 Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl: The debaters debate and argue their arguments. The Yogis and meditators, religious and spiritual teachers roam and ramble, wandering endlessly all over the earth. ||1||Pause|| They are egotistical, self-centered and conceited, foolish, stupid, idiotic and insane. Wherever they go and wander, death is always with them, forever and ever and ever and ever. ||1|| Give up your pride and stubborn self-conceit; death, yes, death, is always close and near at hand. Vibrate and meditate on the Lord, Har, Haray, Haray. Says Nanak, listen you fool: without vibrating, and meditating, and dwelling on Him, your life is uselessly wasting away. ||2||5||50||12||62|| This Shabad is by Bhagat Kabeer Ji in Salok Kabeer Jee on Pannaa 1366 Kabeer, do not struggle in stubborn pride; nothing happens just because you say so. No one can erase the actions of the Merciful Lord. ||32||
  25. This is how we spend our lives This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Gauree on Pannaa 267 The Lord, our Help and Support, is always with us, but the mortal does not remember Him. He shows love to his enemies. He lives in a castle of sand. He enjoys the games of pleasure and the tastes of Maya. He believes them to be permanent - this is the belief of his mind. Death does not even come to mind for the fool. Hate, conflict, sexual desire, anger, emotional attachment, falsehood, corruption, immense greed and deceit: So many lifetimes are wasted in these ways. Nanak: uplift them, and redeem them, O Lord - show Your Mercy! ||7|| The true food and drink This Shabad is by Bhai Mardana in Raag Bihaagraa on Pannaa 553 Shalok, Mardaanaa: The Dark Age of Kali Yuga is the vessel, filled with the wine of sexual desire; the mind is the drunkard. Anger is the cup, filled with emotional attachment, and egotism is the server. Drinking too much in the company of falsehood and greed, one is ruined. So let good deeds be your distillery, and Truth your molasses; in this way, make the most excellent wine of Truth. Make virtue your bread, good conduct the ghee, and modesty the meat to eat. As Gurmukh, these are obtained, O Nanak; partaking of them, one's sins depart. ||1||
