  1. thats would be amazing, wouldn't it! . By the way one of the rehitnamas (which I posted in another thread) states that only an Amritdhari can be called a Sikh. However, I am not going to debate over that. not really! :roll: true check this out : http://www.sikhawareness.com/sikhawareness...highlight=amrit NO! YES! Gurujee is jyot, not mere mortal body. Guru Amar Das Jee became Guru at the age of 72, and Guru Harkishan Jee at the age of 5. Its Divine Jyot and has nothing to do with the age of the physical body. You don't exactly have it all wrong, but age matters only for us mortals, and so yes once a kid is mature enough to understand the responsibilities he/she can very well take Amrit. There are people who took Amrit at a very early age and follow their rehit strictly till date. Besides everything else, one needs loads of kirpa of Gurujee to take Amrit and follow the rehit completely. Mere efforts on our part hold little value without kirpa, which is why you will find many people who do take Amrit but prove to be the worst possible examples for others.
  2. nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we do need to be true Sikhs and then Gurujee will Himself bless us with KHALISTAN !!!!!!

  5. This question of Khalsa Raj once popped up even in the court of Guru Gobind Singh. If anyone bothered to read http://www.sikhawareness.com/sikhawareness...opic.php?t=4460 , you would come across a paragraph that reads something like this : Giani Pritam Singh once mentioned that even during the time of Guru Gobind Singh, the question of Khalsa Raj came up. Gurujee carried out a test. Sweet rice, with many other expensive and delicious ingredients was prepared and was spread on a white sheet. About a dozen dogs were then brought in. The dogs barked and snarled at each other but none ate the rice. They just spread the rice around in dirt with their feet and kept snarling at each other. Similarly, Bhaisahib says, the Singhs are not understanding the value of Gurbani. They quarrel for leadership, but until the Khalsa begins to observe the Rehit, recite Gurbani and do Naam Simran, Khalsa will not get its own raj. Khalsa Raj is inevitable as Gurujee Himself said to Bhai Rama Singh Jee. But only after we are Khalsa in the true sense!
  6. http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040916/punjab1.htm#9 Indira did not consider Operation Bluestar a mistake: Alexander Prabhjot Singh Tribune News Service Chandigarh, September 15 “Indira Gandhi did not consider Operation Bluestar a mistake. The mistake was in the manner of implementation of the decision and not in the decision itself,†writes Mr P.C. Alexander in his book “Through the Corridors of Powerâ€. Mr Alexander, who retired as Governor of Maharashtra a couple of years ago, was Principal Secretary to both Mrs Indira Gandhi and Mr Rajiv Gandhi. “It was Indira Gandhi’s consistent policy not to criticise the Army either in private or in public even if she was convinced about the lapses in the implementation of the decision,†he writes in the chapter on the Akali agitation. The initial Army action was “confined to the siege and flushing out operations in the identical gurdwaras in different places and in the Golden Temple in Amritsarâ€. “There was no reference to any plan except for an effective siege of the buildings involving cutting off telephones, electricity, water, food and inflow of men and weapons. However, there were major and sudden changes in the plan that had been approved by the Prime Minister on May 25.†General Vaidya after a quick visit to Punjab and after consultations with his senior colleagues in the Army sought an urgent meeting with Mrs Indira Gandhi on May 29 to inform her of some important changes in the plan. “Needless to say the PM was taken aback by this sudden change. She was quite perturbed at the suggestion of use of force inside the temple and asked Vaidya several questions seeking clarifications. She enquired as to what would happen if the terrorists put up stiff resistance ? She also wanted to know how long it would take to subdue such resistance and particularly as to what would happen if the terrorists took refuge in the inner sanctum where the Guru Granth Sahib was placed. She asked him why the previous strategy of siege and flushing out was being discarded so soon (after all, Vaidya, had outlined it only on May 25). She also sought details about the comparative analyses in terms of loss of life and damage to the temple with respect to either of the plans. Another question she raised was whether such an action inside the temple would have any adverse effect on the loyalty and discipline of the Sikh jawans in the Indian Army,†writes Mr Alexander in his book. He further says that Vaidya spoke with such confidence and calmness that the new plan he was proposing appeared to be virtually the only option open to the Army. Vaidya said that the other option was fraught with dangerous consequences and hundreds of innocent people may fall victim to firing along the roads leading to Amritsar and in the vicinity of the temple. Mr Alexander also reveals in chronological order the sequence of events about the series of secret meetings a special panel headed by Mr P.V. Narasimha Rao had held with jailed Akali leaders. Some of these meetings had taken place in a private house in Chandigarh and a few others in another private house in Vasant Vihar in Delhi. Claiming that as one closely associated with all behind-the-scene discussions, decision making processes and strategies concerning the Akali agitation during the period 1981-84, he was perhaps more in the know of the facts on the subject than many others who had written about it, he was always conscious of his responsibility as a witness to history to present the facts correctly to the people at large. He writes that he wanted to include the Akali agitation in Punjab and how Indira Gandhi handled it in his series of articles he had written about his years with Mrs Gandhi after quitting as Governor of Tamil Nadu in 1990. “When I informally consulted Rajiv Gandhi for his opinion, he expressed his anxiety that publication of certain facts might lead to unnecessary controversies. His advice was to postpone the publication for some more time. But ‘this some more time†turned out to more than a decade as I was Governor of Maharashtra till July, 2002. Now that I am free from the trammels of office, I can place the full facts about the Akali agitation, as I knew them,†writes Mr Alexander. While talking about the possible reason of why Indira Gandhi did not consult Giani Zail Singh before Operation Bluestar, Alexander says that “the only reason I can think of as to why she did not inform President Zail Singh about her decision on the final stages of Punjab operations was that her relations with him by then were strained to the extent of her losing full trust in him. Another reason may be that the way the operation inside the Golden Temple turned out was quite unexpected and she could not have anticipated the seriousness of the damage caused.â€
  7. and which page number would that be?
  8. When Guru Gobind Singh Jee gave darshan to Bhai Rama Singh Jee, He said that Khalsa Raj was inevitable, but only when the Khalsa stands upto its true meaning, and becomes a true Khalsa. A Shaheed Singh also appeared to Bhai Sahib and told him loads of details about Khalsa Raj. Check here for more : http://www.sikhawareness.com/sikhawareness...opic.php?t=4460 Its not that Khalistan won't be able to stand on its own. Its just that once we are true Khalsa in the real sense, thats when we will be invincible and undefeated. If you wanna doubt something stated clearly by Gurujee Himself, and even a Shaheed Singh, both of whom told this to a great GurSikh, feel free.
  9. http://headlines.sify.com/news/fullstory.p...n~alarming~rate Census: Sikh girls vanishing at an alarming rate Sunday, 12 September , 2004, 12:54 New Delhi: The Sikh community has the lowest sex ratio of 893 females per 1,000 males well below the national average of 933. This is revealed in the census figures of 2001 based on religion released recently. As regards the disparity of the absolute and relative number of males and female population in the society, expressed in terms of sex ratio or number of females per thousand males, the Hindus recorded 931 and were slightly below the national average whereas sex ratio among Muslim was 936. The sex ratio among the Christian population grew handsomely from 994 in 1991 to 1,009 in 2001, it said adding, for the Buddhist and the Jains, the sex rato remained almost the same as 953 and 950 respectively. The report also emphasised on 'signs of definite decline' in the Parsi population in the country. The Parsi population deserves an exceptional but definite mention and place due to their very small number not only in India but also in the world, it added. As per 2001 Census, the Parsi population in the country was 69,601 (33,949 males and 35,652 females) as against their population of 76,382 (37,736 males and 38,646 females) in the 1991 Census, he said. The 2001 Census also contained data on economic activity for different religious groups. The proportion of workers to total population (work participation rate) varied from 48.4 per cent among those following other religion and persuasions to a very low of 31.3 per cent among Muslims. In terms of type of economic activity, 33.1 per cent of the workers among Hindus returned themselves as cultivators and among Muslims they were only 20.7 per cent, the Census 2001 said. Of Buddhist workers, 37.6 per cent were recorded as agricultural labourers, not owning land. Among Hindus, the percentage of agricultural labourers was 27.6 per cent and among Muslims it was 22 per cent. Importantly, the percentage of workers in household industries among the Muslims was highest at 8.1 per cent, much above the national average of 4.2 per cent for all communities and percentage of female workers in the segment was also quite high among the community at 19.3 per cent, reflecting their traditional association with arts and crafts and such household industries. The literacy rate for all the religious groups, as revealed again for the first time in 2001 Census, was very encouraging, shattering many myths in circulation earlier when such a data set was not available for the country as a whole, the Census Commission said.
  10. Consider yourself lucky that it happened immediately. You don't want someone to be with you as a compulsion. Its the opposite in my case (according to me and some friends while others still disagree) except for the "throwing at me part"
  11. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS !!!!! :D :D woohoo !!!!! :D :D and today she is _ _ years old...hehehehehe :P :P
  12. Vaaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh Sukhsagar radio telecasted live broadcast from Nanaksar Thaath Isher Darbar Gurdwara in UK. They had daily sakhis and kathas about Sant Isher Singh Jee and Baba Nand Singh Jee starting at 8 pm GMT. It was amazing!! Vaaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh
  13. waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh veerjee, try to keep a strict amritvela to begin with. A Sikh doesn't exist without AmritVela. Guru RamDas Jee said "Gur SatGur Ka Jo Sikh Akhaawe, So Pal Ke Uthh HarNaam Dhyaawe". So its a mandatory rule for a Sikh to keep his/her AmritVela (if you wanna be a true Sikh from WITHIN). Also, in Japji Sahib's 4th pauri Gurujee tells us that the only thing we can offer Waheguru is simran at AmritVela, which makes it all the more compulsory. Another thing you can do is live your life with as much humility as possible. Guru Nanak loves humility, and once you are humble, His kripa will rain on you like a flood. thats my 1 cent...please forgive any errors...this is just my opinion...and by the way, you are doing just fine, so take it easy !! bhul chukk maaf waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
  14. You might wanna take up this issue with the one who started the Khalsa - Guru Gobind Singh Jee Himself. Please come back and tell us how it went.
  15. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh All the Gurus were one jot. Its true that every jot of Guru Sahibaan had a new message, but I'd say the basic philosophy in essence was the same. None of the first 5 Gurus advocated non-violence, but never picked up arms either, as that was to be done by the sixth and tenth Gurus. The 6th, 7th and 8th Gurus' Bani is not recorded in SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB, but that doesn't make their message unimportant either. bhul chuk maaf Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
