  1. even that translation doesn't apply to physically drinking anything, metaphorically, doing anything that is conducive to durmat is to 'drink' that which brings durmat.
  2. I stand by what I said tbh, the word 'other' implies wines or intoxicants that are not pure i.e. not based on God or Naam... imo anyway
  3. its not used in a negative sense in that quote shaheediyan. all 'other' wines implies that Amrit is a 'wine' too. Gurbani often says that simran will get you intoxicated on the wine of Naam and you forget worldly pleasures. Its a metaphor, there is no physical 'wine of eveil mindedness'.
  4. "Those fools, who drink in the wine of evil-mindedness, become the husbands of prostitutes." has nothing to do with alcohol tell them they need english lessons.
  5. great so he showed himself to be the bigger person in the situation wth is it with Sikhs behaving like hooligans whenever they get upset
  6. awesome awesome awesome I wish gatka had survived in teh same way
  7. why is this blog 'invitation only'
  8. why is this a problem or is it just fashionable to fight everything they try to do as long as it is done properly i don't see anything wrong with it
  9. Does anyone know what the other 7 situtations are that were awarded this award? also could someone please find me the source behind the siraghari award, I cant find it anywhere on UNESCO's site
  10. first of all, the movie is based on a comic book, and it is completely true to the comic in its execution and tone, it's not a 'big budget blockbuster' etc. Robert Rodriguez actually quit the Director's guild to keep Sin City true to the comic (it was written by the same person). second, herodotus' book 'the histories' which is one of the earliest sources for the description of the actual battle has mythological imagery in its recounting the war, with mention of dog headed men etc - the film has a hint of mythology behind it, and is told from the spartan point of view so is obviously biased. the only change from history that annoyed me was that in reality it was because of the oracle and the ephors that leonidas went to war, not in spite of them, also Leonidas was the ver respectful to his gods, and was in charge of all ceremonies to honour them before battle, contrary to waht Frank Miller may say. The oracle told him that 'either a king must fall in battle with the persians, or all greece will fall'. also, the persian messenger that told them that their arrows will blot out the sun was actually friends with a few of the spartans, not a rude bastard as in the movie. if you want a balanced portrayal of both sides read 'Gates of Fire' - its quite awesome. no matter what was good or bad about the persians, being that the story is told from a spartan point of view they're obviously not going to be too respectful about them considering the persians tried to enslave them.
  11. no it doesnt it could be that they will be judged and treated according to their rehit, and that a follwer of Islam will either go to hell or exist in some other state until the 'end'
  12. can you put it up somewhere where all of us can have access to it when youre done?
  13. it was funny at first, but your patronising sarcasm is getting very old the way you're treating him makes you no different to his ideas that you supposedly abhorr
  14. no i know you need to put in physical effort, I was just pretty sure there was a apecific mantr to help it along
  15. Ive tried searching for this, but your search function is not the best in the world and I could find nothing could someone please tell me the mantr for gaining shaster vidya and jugti behind it please thansk
  16. ye exactly like all those gatka videos on youtube where the video clip is to kirtan "soora so pehichaniya jo larey deen kay hayt" And the message thread is nothing but "OMG IM GONNA BEAT YOU UP IF I FIND YOU" whenever someone criticises the 'martial art' which lets face it is not exactly taught in its purest/most effective form /off topic rant
  17. upload it to photo hosting site liek photobucket first
  18. i think it means the world above us, the world in the middle (where we are) and the world below us with there being differing levels of each world, I think this is what Guru Nanak Dev Ji showed someone while in the middle east when questioned as to why the koran says there are only 7 levels of heaven(?)
  19. lol also, just to reiterate, Guru Sahib is not an instruction booklet no men would do paat if they were
  20. it could mean that countless people talk of ram raheem puran and quran, but none follow their ways.
