GurjantGnostic reacted to chatanga1 in Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin
The actual place according to the katha in Gurdwara Nanaksar, Jhang, Pakistan. This is the current condition of the historic gurdwara.
It took me one year to listen all through the katha of Sri Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin. I feel blessed and have learnt so much from this Granth. I cannot recommend it enough and it has proved a valuable soure for some questions I had about Sikh history.
I hope my brothers on this forum have already started their journey into the katha of this granth.

I have been listening to katha of Sri Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin and most certainly recommend it to members on this forum.
SGGS Academy have done a great job of katha for this granth, and I have also come across this granth also which is beleived to be from Guru Gobind Singh's kavi darbar:
"Prem Ambodh Granth"

Nanded gurdwara: How Maharashtra govt has ‘taken control’
The Maharashtra government’s decision to amend The Nanded Sikh Gurudwara Sachkhand Sri Hazur Apchalnagar Sahib Act, 1956, has angered the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. Here’s why

The Maharashtra government’s decision to amend The Nanded Sikh Gurudwara Sachkhand Sri Hazur Apchalnagar Sahib Act, 1956, to increase the number of its nominees to the religious body’s board has drawn criticism from Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami who said it was “sad, condemnable and a direct interference” in Sikh affairs “which cannot be tolerated”. Dhami has now written a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, seeking an appointment to discuss this issue.
Here’s a look at the amendment and why it has irked the SGPC:
What is the Gurudwara Sachkhand Board, Nanded?
The Takhat Hazur Sahib in Nanded, Maharashtra, is one of the five Takhats (high temporal seats) of Sikhs and is of great historical importance as the 10th Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, passed away here. As per the 1956 Act, the Gurudwara Sachkhand Board, Nanded looks after the management of the Takhat Hazur Sahib. It has an annual budget of around Rs 100 crore and property worth crores.
What will the amendment change?
According to the 1956 Act, the 17-member Takhat Hazur Sahib board comprises four nominated SGPC members, four members from Sachkhand Hazur Khalsa Diwan, two Sikh members of Parliament, one from Chief Khalsa Diwan, three directly elected from the seven districts of Marathwada, one member each from Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, and the Nanded collector.
According to the new amendment, out of 17 members, 12 will be directly nominated by the Maharashtra government, three will be elected, and the SGPC can now nominate only two. There will be no representation from Parliament or other organisations.
...
What happened in 2015 and why the SGPC protested then?
In 2015, the BJP government in power in Maharashtra had trimmed the powers of the Gurudwara Sachkand Board, Nanded by amending Section 11 of the 1956 Act to empower itself to directly appoint the president of the board. Earlier, the president was elected by the board members. BJP MLA Tara Singh had become the first government appointee to the president post in 2015. The SGPC had opposed the amendment in 2015 but to no avail.
In 2019, the SGPC had blamed the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for allegedly using the amendment to indirectly take control of Sikh gurdwaras.

GurjantGnostic reacted to Kaur10 in Chaupehra Sahib
Veer ji , it is two Chaupai Sahib not five.
I did it last year. Bought new small wheat flour, ghee, sugar, small karahi , thaali, kaoli and thali cover and kept everything in one of the top shelves in the kitchen. It was bit hard work because I have to clean all the kitchen , bins, oven, cupboard’s doors , kitchen door etc on Saturday evening as my husband is strictly non-veg. He cooperated by not eating/cooking any non-veg on Sundays.
