  1. @ brother Tsingh - can you honestly understand God and Gods full prowess? Even maharaj says he is a moorakh in the face of God. However this is because the Guru's were being modest. We have virtually no understanding of the Glory of God, and for us to gain a minute fraction of Akaals Mahima maharaj had to put it in words we would be able to understand, because we are stupid humans whos understanding is within the boundary of just questioning anything and everything that is beyond comprehension, rather than accepting eg presence of almighty God.

    @ Balbir -listen the concept of God having hands is metaphorical not God itself. Before trying to be clever first try and understand the other persons perspective then quote what you perceive and then add what ever you wish to add to the argument may it be for or against it.

    No one here denies that fact that the gurus were the window for divine light ie bani to come and shower upon us, yet when we start saying that god is up there sitting on fluffy clouds with a long white beard and giant hands, thats all a bit doolally! Saying that god literally has hands is absurd, because god is without form. These "hands" are a personification of Gods power, just like to us humans without our hands we cannot survive as they are our source of physical power, Gods "hands" are Gods power and it is that power that we are beseeching for protection. And here we can tie in my argument of dumbing down Gods persona (because it is so magnificent) to us humans our hands mean everything, because with it we eat, we do activities, its where our livelihood comes from. That emotion we have for the magnificence and significance of our hands in our lives can be projected upon God. The idea of God having hands is to teach us humans that "Look how powerful you are with your hands, imagine if God was to have hands how powerful would the almighty be, and think oh human God is more powerful than you can ever think without hands!"

  2. i think its all metaphorical, god is beyond our comprehension and since our Gurus understood god they had to in a sense "dumb" gods persona down for us to understand it, because god is too great.

    Hands to a human are his greatest tools with them he creates, preserves and destroys, and hence are his power.

    so when maharaj in Gurbani says hamri karo haath deh racha maharaj i feel is saying look after me oh lord with your power which created me, and will preserve me (protect) and will destroy my enemies and obsticals. Also maharaj could have used the term haath in a cultural prespective where they say eg ohde sir te hath rakh dita, ie he placed his hand over his head and took on his protection.

    anyways these were my two cents

  3. jassea, dumalla ban, wear a kammar kassa underneath your shirt and you will be fine. remember jesa des waisa bes. Even maharaj had to change his dress to escape at the hands of zalims."JAIKARA UCH DE PEER DA!"

    and as shaheedeya said, akaalis are only required to be in full baana which includes chaar aina (armour) etc. For us sehajdhari nihungs kamarkassa and shastar and dumala are fine!

    Gur Bar Akaal!

    Sogi sache patshah tera khalsa jape akaal hi akaal sat sri akaal!

  4. how come i never see gurbani kirtan sung in pure raag ever encouraged or posted like the way this is being advertised. Not saying that there is anything wrong with it, just that saade sanskaar bhule jaa rahe ya, par horra de sanskar jaag rahe ya. I mean wheres the justice?
