You have my Ardas Bro. 

Do we speak off this platform already? This Su**** Singh?

Fair warning. We keep it respectful here but media debates coincided with clubhouse debates and the end result is some debate about the divine qualities of islam, good muslims, vs cult iterations of islam. I'm probably one of the least repsctful people regarding that. 

But the plain nature of the language used to debate some issues aside my best friend is a muslim bro. 

So speaking for my own content alone, it's always a recreation on where I'm at with my understanding and it changes as my information does. 

Also as nice as muslims are bro, many of them harbor resetment towards Sikhs and other faiths. It actually in defense of that you'll hear some of my words. Be fair warned if you convert your family will probably protest. 

hello ji,

no we don’t speak. I’m a sister :). oh yes totally understand that.

Thanks ji :)

THE SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE

Bhakti Yoga

 

There are certain Do's and Dont's for the spiritual journey, called yam and Niyam. These are ten each in numbers as per details :

 

Yam : - (X)

 

1. Non-Violence :- Do not cause harm to anybody, through mind, body, intellect or speech. Pray from the core of your heart, "The glory of Name Divine is highest. Let all human beings be happy by the grace of God."

 

2. Truthfulness :- Live truthful life and indulge not in hypocrisy.

 

3. Theft :- Theft of body and mind is avoided. Theft of mind means when you do some bad act behind the curtain, i.e. in aloofness so as there is no witness to your act, like act of adulteration etc. To conceal other man's articles is theft of body.

 

4. Brahmcharya :- Celibacy is an essential requirement for the spiritual journey. It is like fuel of the body, which must be preserved. Married persons should be faithful to each other observing moderation.

 

5. Patience :-Do not feel agitated over trifles. Patience brings power- Saints must have patience in abundance.

 

6. Forgiveness :- When you have the strength to harm somebody, but you forgive him and don't harm him, you are on the right path.

 

7. Mercy :- Mercy is a must for meditation. Those who kill animals for palate, cannot imbibe mercy. You kill today and you will be killed tomorrow. That is the Divine law.

 

8. Tender Heart :- Be of tender heart, and do not be stone-hearted or a hypocrite. Don't indulge in rebukes and slander. Always speak softly, politely and truthfully.

 

9. Self-discipline :- Eat less and feel contented. Follow the dictum of the Guru :-

 

"Eat moderately, sleep less, show mercy and forgiveness and love your prime possession, the real self. (Guru Gobind Singh)

 

There are three kinds of food that we eat viz. pertaining to

 

i) tamoguna (ii) rajasguna (iii) satoguna

 

'tamas' food, includes intake of meat, fish, wine eggs etc. This food brings laziness to the man. He is likely to turn away from God and his God-consciousness is diminished. In 'rajas' is included pertaining of spicy and rich food for the sake of palate only. Heavy and rich food leads to numerous diseases.' Eat a bit less than your requirement. 'Satoguna' food includes partaking of vegetables, milk, curd, butter and cereals etc. 10. It means purity of mind, purity of body, purity of speech, purity of clothes, and purity of thought. These are ten 'yam' principles

 

THE TEN NIYAM (RULES)

 

1. Penances and devotion :- Yoke yourself to the service of humanity. Service is of three kinds ie. pertaining to rajas guna, tamas guna and sats guna. The service of Guru is at the top of all the Penances.

 

2. Charity :- Charity is also of three types - rajas, tamas and sats charity. In tamas, one gives away something in charity under duress and in anger and at inappropriate time which may result in sin. In rajas, one distributes alms to earn glorification. While in sats guna, one gives away in all humility with a faith in the fact that everything is gift of God. This kind of generosity is rewarded.

 

3. Contentment :- There cannot be full satisfaction without contentment. Unless there is contentment, the mind writhing in desire wanders in wilderness.

 

4. Theistic intellect means a staunch believer in Guru's teachings.

 

5. Worship :- Worship of the Guru. It should not be external and ceremonial only, but with all the mind and soul accepting Guru as embodiment of God.

 

6. Faith in the shabad of Guru. If you have faith in Gurbani, you will be rewarded. If you sit quietly with closed eyes, but you don't have in Gurbani, it is of no avail. Have full faith in Gurbani.

 

7. Abide by teachings of Gurbani. Mould your life accordingly. Don't go against the tenets of Gurbani.

 

8. Peaceful Mind :- Let anger not disturb your mind at all, even when provoked by somebody. Keep cool and have perseverance.

 

9. Nitnem :- Keep regularity in you daily prayers, meditation and recitation of Gurbani.

 

10. Brahm-hom means feeding the hungry Hom implies burning of 'I' and I-am-ness, effacing ego of every type. Inviting Saints and Gursikhs for partaking food is known as Brahm-hom.

 

These are two disciplines - Yam and Niyam and third is 'Asan'.

 

Asan :- Find out quite place, where there is no noise, and where one can sit comfortably without any disturbance. Make a seat (asan) for meditation and use this 'asan' daily for prayers and meditation.

SAA ji,

So I wanted to know more about Amrit. But I cannot understand the process fully from the Amrit posts because there are alot of punjabi words that I don’t know the meaning of. please can someone simplify for me in English. 

Please clarify; 

1.) what is Amrit?

2.) what is the process of Amrit?

3.) Why do some Sikhs take Amrit and some do not?

4.) After Amrit, what changes do you have to make in your life?

thank you

Yeah please, and if you are what you say you are - in this day and age of mass grooming going on, and with all the emerging details of predatory behavior all over society, from street level to the BBC, Hollywood, parliament and even the royal family in the UK, please be more sensitive. And please don't be surprised, angry or shocked if some of my own community, fed up to death of decades of having to deal with the types of animals in the videos I posted earlier, are hawkish in protecting vulnerable members of our community.  If you are a female you should understand and maybe even applaud cautionary measures - given these realities. 

Thank you for relaxing your temper. To be honest I never even thought of it that way. And yes I should take extra precautions. It didnt even occur to me that what im saying is risky. So sorry for my mistake. 

meri problem aa hagia. sidi saadi kuri hagia. thori kamli v lol

 Are you sure? 

There are hordes of pervert muslim blokes who seem to prey on vulnerable females (especially underage ones) of other communities. How do we know that you aren't one of them? 

And if there is any sister who would actually PM some random muslim over the internet - they must be retarded. 

And the rest of you here - don't be retarded and put any of our sisters under any potential risk.

 

 

look I am a female. All I wanted is some help. You dont have to be so angry about it.

The hate against muslims is clear in your words. Talking to "Anyone" online would have made more sense then using the word muslim!! 

I didnt think of it that way as I wouldnt do that to anyone anyway.

I only wanted some help in my research. You dont have to be so full of hatred against me. The perverts are disgusting lowlifes and its obviously wrong.

Your approach was uncalled for. There is a way of talking even online. 

I am getting the answers I need now. Its best to do this my way.

Resptected Bhen Ji,

The dream you have essential is a Blessed vision of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj, further the following dargahi approach may be helpful for you if you wish to further your spiritual journey, while remaining a loyal Muslim at shariat level, you can broaden your devotional love for Allah and have Sri Guru Maharaj Ji's Blessings.

 

In the possession of this unique Parshad, Divine Ticket, thousands of His disciples including Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims migrated from far off places to the other side during partition of 1947 but not even a single one of them suffered even a slightest bruise

ivinely commissioned and appointed by His great Master to spread the gospel of Sri Guru GranthSahib, He set out to scatter that unique flavour far and wide, the like of which has not been seen so far, and is far beyond the limits of human endeavour.

He unfolded the Supreme grandeur of Sri Guru Granth Sahib splendidly and glorified the eternal Sri Guru Granth Sahib as the living Guru Nanak magnificently. Blessing of Sri Guru Granth Sahib was supreme and He advised everyone to invoke that blessing by completing one path of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in a month in the following manner:

• Complete recitation of the whole of Sri Guru Granth Sahibin a month.
• Complete 50 paths of Sri Sukhmani Sahib in a month; recite 2 paths of Sri Sukhmani Sahib daily.
• Complete 250 paths of Jap Ji Sahib in a month; recite 10 paths of JapJi Sahib daily.
• Complete 180 Malas (Rosary Mala of 108 beads) of Mool Mantra (from Ekonkar to Nanak Hosi Bhi Such) in a month; do six malas daily.
• Complete 80 Malas daily of Gur Mantar 'Waheguru'; 20 Malas of Waheguru if the Nam is recited four times on each bead.
• Complete 160 Malas daily of Ram (Nam); 40 Malas if Ram is recited four times on each bead
• A Mohammedan was advised to practice and recite the name of Allah on each bead as above.

Hundreds of crores of Sri Guru Granth Sahib's paths were thus distributed as the most blessed Parshad to millions of devotees in His life time and are continuing uninterrupted since then.

Many many Blessings.

Thank you so much. I agree. I am learning to seek knowledge not to convert.

Sat sri Akal,

Thank you so much. I'm a sister lol

Say Sri Akal,

hello all, I hope you are all well. I have some questions and wanted to do some research on Sikhism. 

I am hoping to go to a Gurdwara soon so I can talk to someone in person.

But in the meanwhile, I wanted to know the following things.

When did Sikhism start?

how did it begin?

Some more information on Guru Nanak Dev ji would be useful.

Thank you.
