opensikh

I have tried that one and it does not work

Is there any hub I can connect to where I can download Kirtan?

If so what is the address

Did the Bhagats like Dhanna,Pikan Shah,Bhagat Ravi Das do Nitnem?

Eventually like cyber singh said he will get there

very true

I take it,you married your own then thats fair enough.

No matter how sikh people think they are or portray when it comes to issues of marriage, people tend to marry in their own tribal lineage, unless otherwise ie:g/f and b/f situation.

Why is this?

Liono, I see in another post you mention you are a married man.

Could I ask did you marry someone within your own tribal background?

I know for sure within many family circles it is a 95% preference to “marry your own†Not cousins though we all know who does that.

Caste does exist is the real truth of the matter.

Might better to read this article again it higlights many facts.

Please Read Bhai Gurdas Di Vara the key to Guru Granth Sahib, and you will see that Baba Bhudda Ji applied tilak to the first 5 Guru's on passing of the gur-gaddhi. It is when Guru Hargobind Singh ji arose after the death of his father on the taathi tavhi (hotplate) the swords and adoned the martial turban.

Look at ancient hand written granths and you will see numerous pictures of devi devteh, this doesn't mean that sikhs are hindus if your scared of that terminology it simply shows that Gurbani has all the great saints of the past within. Look at Guru Granth Sahib, count the amounts of Hindu/Muslim bhagats with the bani were included by Guru Sahib's?

Makes you think !

Read the original nitnem and you will find the lines "Nanak Guru Gobind Singh puran Avtar" ie: Guru Nanak/Guru Gobind Singh are the utmost Avatars/Saints/Gurus

If you talk to spritual nihungs, they will tell you that when the Khalsa was being formed the Devi-Devteh, all came to give their gifts (the 5 k's) to Guru Gobind Singh.

I will post them once I have recaped my information, so that I do not make any mistakes.

btw: I am secure about my sikhi I suggest my dear brothers, instead of jumping the gun and going mad like one used to read and become learned and have a little faith and take yourselves back 500 years in india, and the puzzle will begin to fall into place.

After reading this post for somedays:

"When one is in an intense state of hatred, even a very close friend appears somehow “frosty,†cold and distant, or quite annoying. If one harbors hateful thoughts, it ruins one’s health. Even if one has wonderful possessions, in the moment of anger one feels like throwing them or breaking them. So there is no guarantee that wealth alone can give one the joy or fulfillment that one seeks.

"Only a spontaneous feeling of empathy with others can really inspire us to act on their behalf. Nevertheless, compassion does not arise mechanically. Such a sincere feeling must grow gradually, cultivated within each individual, based on their own conviction of its worth. Adopting a kind attitude thus becomes a personal matter. How each of us behaves in daily life is, after all, the real test of compassion.

"I feel there is a difference between the mental conflicts that one feels and the emotions they give rise to - anger, hostility, and so forth. If you are not able to express the mental conflicts that you have, then at a later point of your life when you able to express these mental conflicts, they are automatically accompanied by hostility and anger. Therefore, it is important to express one’s suffering, not so much the hostility, but rather the suffering.

"If any sensible person thinks deeply, he will respect justice. There is an inborn appreciation and respect for justice within our human body. In children, we find what is natural to the human character. But as they grow up, they develop a lot of conditioning and wrong attitudes. I often feel there is more truthfulness in a small child and I find many reasons to have confidence in human courage and human nature.

"A person who knows a lot but does not practice is like a shepherd who does not own any cattle but always looks after a flock of sheep or cattle. Therefore, studying, reflecting, and meditating on the nature of reality is of great significance for the progress of a spiritual practitioner."

The Dalai Lama

Surely there must be more these are great

Is there any pictures out of holla Mohalla 2005?

Pull the plug, either way shes sufering in her karam might aswell cut it short and skip to the next life

The Devi's bow to Guru and Guru ji bowed Waheguru

"Many sikhs are just anti muslim full stop, due to moghuls, afghans etc... and after 1947 and 1984 we've become anti hindu too, we need to get out of this mentality"

Fantastic Line

Installation of Guru Granth Sahib at The House of Lords

By Rishi Singh

Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - 01:29 AM GMT+5:30

A Recap

On the 19th of October 2004, in London all roads led to the House of Lords!

The Sikhs of United Kingdom celebrated 400th year of Installation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in The House of Lords, London. The Sikh Forum, UK, was instrumental in organising this first event of its type in the UK Parliament. Lord Viscount Slim, who has a long association with the Sikhs since the Second World War, was host to the august gathering. Many prominent Lords, MPs, Barons and distinguished personalities of United Kingdom joined the Sikhs to mark the occasion. Sikh Forum President Ranjit Singh OBE began the programme by reciting the mool mantra, from the Japji Sahib.

S. Ranjit Singh laid stress on the fact that Sikhs have done well for whichever country they have adopted. They have contributed and been recognised in every sphere of society whether it is economic, social or political.

Sharing his views, Former Justice Mota Singh QC, Patron of The Sikh Forum, commented that not much is being done to bridge the divide between different world communities even though world citizens are better connected with each other as never before. He reiterated the fact – as enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib – that the Sikhs will stand by with the 'Right Cause with reason' as they have always done throughout their history.

The Sikh Forum honoured K.T. Singh, a well known and distinguished advocate of India for his contribution to the Sikh community. In his speech S. K.T. Singh pointed towards the pioneering contribution of British historians in writing on and understanding the Sikhs and their scriptures. In his soft manner he explained the meanings of Gurbani and 'Sat Sri Akal' and said that Gurbani voiced four hundred years ago what United Nations stated as the Human Rights declaration.

Lord Viscount Slim released a booklet of The Sikh Forum. The Deputy Commissioner of Metropolitan Police shared his vision of Policing in London where every citizen had a right to be protected. He also said that Metropolitan Police was the oldest Police to recognise the Sikh identity. One could notice that there are many Sikh officers working for Metropolitan Police, some of whom were present in uniform during the function.

Like every celebration, this one also ended with a vote of thanks by the Secretary of The Sikh Forum. Historically, it was a landmark celebration of the Installation of Guru Granth Sahib in Sri Harmandir Sahib, as it was the first one in the House of Lords!

Rishi Singh is a Ph D Candidate at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.

Typical even on his staute Duleep Singh suffers pain after years of his death. Typical Racists not a clue about him or anything that Queen Victoria done to his family.

I would suggest everyone buys this fantastic book

The Duleep Singhs: The Photographic Album of Queen Victoria's Maharajah

by Peter Bance

Synopsis

This book collects together 200 superb black and white photographs which tell the story of the Duleep Singhs, the family of the late Maharajah of the Punjab, who was deposed at the age of eleven by the East India Company, and exiled to Britain. The owner of the famous Koh-i-noor diamond, and a Christian convert, Singh became a country squire, indulging in royal hunts with the Prince of Wales and enjoying life as a houseguest of Queen Victoria at Osbourne House, as well as playing the field with a string of young beauties from Norfolk maids to Cockney stage artists. As well as telling the story of Duleep Singh's own life, the book also shows us the lives of his children: Frederick the archaeologist, antiquarian and benefactor to East Anglia; Victor, the gambler and serial bankrupt whose wife was forbidden by Queen Victoria to have any children; Sophia, the fanatical suffragette; Catherine, the secretive and notorious visitor to war-torn Germany whose relations with her governess were more than intimate; and Princess Bamba, the grumpy self-styled Queen of Lahore, who outlived everyone, living in her own imaginary royal court.

I have also been thinking about this question if the creators of http://www.damdamitaksal.com/ who are from the uk have real claim I wish they put more information on to their site with more proof would be great. Even a counter view to those highlighted in sarbloh.info.

Something would be nice to see ie: the other side of the coin. Like more textual and pictorial information on Ithas.

Because the longer it is left then people will go with the sarbloh.info view as nothing else has been said or showen which means that in the long term people will see taksal lineage a a lie and the truth is sarbloh.

A huge benti GET SOME info on the NET.

I would like to 2nd that these books are so simple but yet so advance, appeal to every person looking to delve and inspire themselves into gurmat.

Your Atma(Soul) is talking to your Parmathma (Waheguru) keep on simran, forget the techicals and keep things simple.
