Some one who takes you from dark to light.

who knows there is much confusion . Maybe someone has met him in person?

Can Budda be considered a SatGuru for budists? Can Jesus be considered a SatGuru for Christians? Can Mohammed be considered a SatGuru for muslims? Etc., Etc. Or is Guru Granth Sahib Ji the SatGuru of all.

Is it essential for person to do simran for divine enlightenment. I was chatting with a Christan man who said he has lot of problems physically and mentally. So i told him to get up at amrit vela and focus his mind on god. He replied that we do not believe in these kinds of mediations. We just believe is Jesus. A long time ago on a Sikh forum i read that the Pope John was braham Gyanni. So my question is do we have to do simran. Or was Pope not a brahm gyanni.

One who turns away from the Guru, and becomes baymukh - without the True Guru, he shall not find liberation. pwvY mukiq n hor QY koeI puChu ibbykIAw jwey ] paavai mukat na hor thai ko-ee puchhahu bibaykee-aa jaa-ay. He shall not find liberation anywhere else either; go and ask the wise ones about this. Anyk jUnI Brim AwvY ivxu siqgur mukiq n pwey ] anayk joonee bharam aavai vin satgur mukat na paa-ay. He shall wander through countless incarnations; without the True Guru, he shall not find liberation. iPir mukiq pwey lwig crxI siqgurU sbdu suxwey ] fir mukat paa-ay laag charnee satguroo sabad sunaa-ay. But liberation is attained, when one is attached to the feet of the True Guru, chanting the Word of the Shabad. khY nwnku vIcwir dyKhu ivxu siqgur mukiq n pwey ]22] kahai naanak veechaar daykhhu vin satgur mukat na paa-ay. ||22|| Says Nanak, contemplate this and see, that without the True Guru, there is no liberation. ||22||

Sorry for my ignorance Khalsa Ji, but what is a trishool?

Why do we label people who tell sakhi's and interpret Gurbani as sants or baba's this n' that. My family is from Rara Sahib (near by pind ). I have been to Rara Sahib Gurdwara myself. And there is a special kind of a little house in the memory of Sant Isher Singh ji. People go in there to mettha teek, and are usually given parsahhad of fruits when they exit. Inside of the house there are many sandals, loads of pictures, that people bow down to. Why? What is that suppose to prove? And the sevadaars are always telling you to hurry up and exit. But I did saw this one sevadaar who just kept on pumping the water from the nalka. Also, i seen videos of people in England placing there head , on Sant Isher Singh Ji feet. Why would they alow this? My elders told me it gets rid of you bad karams. ? But aren't we only allowed to bow to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? Who decides who is Sant? And there are so many deras of ?sants? in punjab it's crazy. Also, what's up with the continuous linage of sants? People claiming i am from this and that dera, i belong to this jatha and or that jatha. People promoting their marayada over others. I dislike it when people say i am nahing or nanaksari etc. is that suppose to be your direct ticket to sachkhand. Also, people might think i am crazy but i have a serious issue of bowing down to people, ( sants). Would this be considered sant ki nindya? If a sikh didn't bow to Sant( Isher Singh ji ---example), they would know that a sikhs head only belong to Guru Granth Sahib Ji. There are so many purtan sikhs that do not have the title sant attached to their name (Bhai Gurdas Ji).

Her katha sounds weired. Maybe cause i am used to punjabi katha. For some reason i am learning new things about hinduism from this katha. But anyways who is this bibi maybe a pic or video/of the her katha.

How can i download these videos. Google video only gave the options for ipod and psp. I want to download them and burn them as a dvd.

i wouldn't go that far.

It doesn't matter what you tell these people, they will just continue babbling. You are always made to feel that you are not welcomed here. I don't want to guess what they will say, if i told them that a dastaar is weapons fortress, with all the airport security reasons. But what i wanted to know was that did the founding fathers of america built the country on christen principles.

you probably want to make this thread in the islam section of the forum. or the admin can just move it there.

Why do you wear that towel on your head. So your brains don't fall out. Some one said this to me at work. If it was funny maybe i would have smiled . But the joke makes no sense. Unfortunately this is the only thing some Americans can come up with or go back to your country. Why do white americans claim that this country was founded on Christan values. Is this true. Are we not all foreign in the U.S except for the natives.

Also, if you don't wear bana are you doing bipran ki reet ? following the ways of the world. Or it doesn't matter what we wear. Living in the west can we still adopt bana? Or is it just history . Should the youth be encouraged to also adopt bana.

I don't know if you are trying to make fun of me or not, no i don't want a picture. What is the difference between a kachera and a underwear?

Does kachera mean underwear.

"Bana as far as the Sikh Rehit Maryada is concerned is a kachera and Dastaar for a man. " Okk, but is chola considered bana. or it doesn't matter. Does kachera mean underwear. "deepsingh, perhaps you could let us know what you think "bipran ki reet" is referring to?" What i think bipran ki reet is referring to is that khalsa should be distinct, stands out. I may be wrong. if this topic has been discussed already could you please provide the link.

What exactly is bana, is it a punjabi kurta punjama. or a chola that taksali singh's wear. What is the importance of bana. What is the bana for women, is it salvaar kameez? Also, if you don't wear bana are you doing bipran ki reet ?
