  1. What I heard is wearing of Massive Dhumally were not practiced in the Nihang Dals in the past. Huge Dhumally are inpractical even in yud and serves no real purpose. A practical Dhumala would be one that allows you to wrestle with the Dhumally on.

    I think now adays wearing Massive Dhumally is done for Holla Malla, correct me if im wrong.

  2. If we take the meaning of each word that we use and define it according to how Hindus and Muslims define it, then that would be a huge mistake.

    Hows it a mistake? You might find a deeper meaning. Guru Gobind Singh Ji knew a lot of languages. People in those days knew more than one language. Ive actually known some people who have even changed the meanings of bani to suit their own cause and they say this is what it means, which isnt true. Once you find the actual meaning and understand it in the Gurmat way (Gurus way of thinking) then you'll know what it means.

    A Shaheed Singh can only be a Singh who is Shaheed, the world “Singh” is inseperable from the word Shaheed in our tradition since both terms go togather like hand in glove. A Muslim or a Christian can be Shaheeds in their own respective traditions, but they cannot be a “Shaheed Singhs” in the Sikh tradition since they are not “Singhs” to begin with.

    The word Singh was first used in Rajpoot traditions. But when the Khalsa was formed everyone taking Khandey Da Amrit becomes Singh or Kaur.

  3. And during his training , he would hang weights as high as 250 kgs to his bow and then practising shooting with that weight hanging down. Other Singhs also used to practise like that.

    I agree Guru Ji was very Strong but hanging weights to the bow? 250KGs? On a Woodern bow? Im sorry but this doesnt sound authentic?

  4. "Kalaripayattu - The Orient's treasure trove, a gift to the modern world and the mother of all martial arts. Legend traces the 3000-year-old art form to Sage Parasurama- the master of all martial art forms and credited to be the re-claimer of Kerala from the Arabian Sea. Kalaripayattu originated in ancient South India. Kung- fu, popularized by the monks of the Shoaling Temple traces its ancestry to Bodhi Dharma - an Indian Buddhist monk and Kalaripayattu master.

    Crafted in ancient South India drawing inspiration from the raw power and sinuous strength of the majestic animal forms - Lion, Tiger, Elephant, Wild Boar, Snake, and Crocodile ........ Kalaripayattu laid down the combat code of the Cholas, the Cheras and the Pandyas. Shrouded in deep mystery and mists of secrecy Kalaripayattu was taught by the masters in total isolation, away from prying eyes.

    Following the collapse of the princely states and the advent of free India - Kalaripayattu has lost its significance as a mortal combat code. In a Phoenix-like resurrection, Kalaripayattu is today emerging in a new avatar - an ancient art form - a source of inspiration for self-expression in dance forms - both traditional and contemporary, in theatre, in fitness and in movies too."

  5. ''Karbala: When Skies Wept Blood'' examines the final days of the life of Imam Hussain (AS), the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and sets out to establish the reasons behind the tragedies that took place at Karbala in the year 61 of the Islamic Calendar. Using unique footage, and talks by leading scholars, the viewer is presented with an excellent presentation for followers of the Ahlul Bayt (AS), and as an introduction to followers of other faiths.
