  1. kaam, and trying to find a partner are two different things. We have to bring kaam under control, not stay away from it, its not possible to get rid off it or simply stay away from it, its one of the 5 thieves and actively attacks your mind.

    as with anything, too much of something is bad, there was another thread on this recently, I dont remember where exactly, but search and you should find it.

    It doesnt mean you shouldnt enjoy sex, it means you shouldnt let sex rule your life. you shouldnt sleep around, you shouldnt have sex and think of sex all day every day.

    and if you're not married and dont have a prtner, kaam is hardly something to base a relationship on.

  2. theres nothing wrong with questioning anything - all it shows is that you want to know, and its what we need from young people these days.

    theres basically 2 points of view, some people say you can eat meat, some say you shouldnt. Of the people who do eat meat, they may not eat beef out of cultural respect.

    I personally think that eating meat is not conducive to spiritual growth, and that it is a hindrance.

    You'll fast find out that Sikhi is not just a set of rules, its a way of life that leads to God, and the discipline behind following a set of rules will help you along. for example, an athlete needs to train and eat healthy food in order to be competitive, the discipline behind his/her diet and training is their 'dharam', in the same way, the things that Sikhi say to do or not to do are simply what is and what is not conducive to union with God

  3. i agree, they are not mythological and do exist, and are in constant service of Waheguru.

    I believe that Gurbani says that 'Gurmukh is the most excellent way' because it is only through human birth that normal souls can actually merge with Waheguru, I remember hearing that even the Devi and Devte wish they could have human birth to have the chance.

    Its mentioned in Jap Ji Sahib too :

    'Tin chele parvaan

    Ik sansaari, ik bhandaari, ik lae di ban

    Jiv tis bhavai tivai chalave jiv hovai phurman

    Oh vekhai ona nadar na hovai

    Bahuta eh vidaan.'

    Scuse any mistakes please, I wrote it off the top of my head.

  4. Maharaji said that bani is kuchee withot the Guru. Baba Ranjit Singh is praising the Guru, so the Bani is not kuchee. Sayin that dharnas are kuchee is like saying that what Bhai Gurdas Ji wrote is kuchee bani. if you love Guru ji and praise them in your own words I highly doubt that they will be annoyed.

    you have sufficient intelligence to see whether what he says is right or wrong, pro or anti Guru Sahib.

    none of us who are not Brahmgiani can really comment on whether he is a Sant or not, jus go do simran bhakti till you have the necessary avastha, then you can talk.

    i find it strange how people who denounce all sants also believe that they can merge with Maharaji, but reject the idea that it has happened to anyone else.

    but its cool, people have always said bad things about sants, from Baba Farid ji to Guru Nanak Dev Ji to Guru Gobind Singh Ji to Guru Granth Sahib ji to modern sants...itll always be there. its of no consequence, if someone is faking it they will have face Dharam Rai, its not our concern. stop being pedantic and get on with your work, stop looking at others,

    Gursikh andaro siane hondey, bahro bhulla chhuka marde.

    Nirvair.

    Asankh nindak sir kare paar.

  5. why cant they just leave the Sikhs in peace...we dont sit around telling everyone that Allah and Waheguru are the saem thing so everyone should be called Sikhs.

    How can we 'come back to huinduism when we never in it to begin with'

    ...their claims to history are pretty stupid too, yes, the land was once under Hindus, but then it was under the Mughals, so what. 6000 years ago it was under idol worshippers, maybe we should give it back to them....before that it was under the apes, maybe they should be in power...theyd probably be smarter than the VHP

  6. we shouldnt have indian flags at the entrance.

    read this

    The title of your pic says it all, the Indian government has no jusrusdiction over Harmandir Sahib, who are they to make any plans for it.

    Itll be classed as an Indian cultural site if this goes through, and they will get funds and expertise for maintenance etc whereas this should be done via seva not financial grants. read the link mate

  7. Did I miss those pages of Sri Guru Granth Sahib? Maybe the English translation I have isn't very good. :wink:

    like i said there is technique to everything. if you dont wanna do it then dont. I prefer to listen to Mahapursh who by looking at you know that you didnt use a jot for your mornin paat, (yess this has happend) and like challenge everything said, Guru Granth Sahib Ji doesnt say much about maryada and technique. maybe the english translation isnt good, coz i remember when it (the kyoo thing) was explained to us, a quote was used.

    And I used to use english translations too, once i started understanding the Gurmukhi script I can honestly say that the english translations goin around can be quite misleading - no translation is perfect, and with Gurbani these difference are much more important - many english words that arent usually associated with the corresponding Gurmukhi are used, and misunderstood till you learn to understand. So maybe yea, the translation you have isnt good.
