  1. As for laws in Muslim countries, thats their business. If people don't like them, then don't go/live there. I like the laws in the UK, hence I live here, when I don't like them, I will consider moving. I have met plenty of people including Iraqis, Iranians, Afghans and Pakistanis who hate the legal system, and some even hate Islam, they have decided to leave their respective countries, and set up a modern/freer lifestyle here, thats what people do.

    Presumably then you would have no problem, as another veer ji has queried, with France deciding to ban the burqa and the dastaar, and similarly you see nothing wrong with the Nazi extermination of Jews in Europe (after all, it was German land, and the Jews could just have packed up and moved elsewhere), or indeed the Mughal government of India butchering Sikhs and martyring our Gurus since presumably you feel they should have just gotten on a plane and come to the UK to work in a factory for minimum wage?

    Seriously, Singh, I didn't want to say this, but for all your protestations about the human race being a single race, it's clear that you choose to think the worst of your own people based on the stereotype of Punjabis in parts of the States and Canada all being drug dealers and prefer to ignore the fact that most terrorists are of the Islamic persuasion.

    That you claim to believe in the oneness of the human race yet you seem to have no difficulty reconciling this belief with the fact that Sharia law discriminates against women, children and non-Muslims is pretty odd and repulsive.

    I find your hypocrisy and self-hatred more depressing than offensive. I hope you sort it out if only because the Panth is doomed if there are many chardikala Singhs like you who think this way.

  2. Funnily enough, there are some people who believe that the weapons described in the Ramayana were nuclear type weapons and that the vimanas (the vehicles used by the devatas to fly) were actually a variety of space ship. Robert Zelazny's novel Lords of Light builds on this theme.

    I figured the Sudarshan Chakra would be something useful to have in one's pocket should kirpans ever be banned. It would be pretty cool to whip out the sudarshan chakra and obliterate a continnent the next time I'm stuck in an arm bar. Hmm. Actually, maybe that is why this weapon is not available anymore.

    On a serious note, I was wondering whether the emphasis that Guru Ji placed on shastar as divone embodiments of shakti meant that these mystical dharmic weapons are no longer available in Kaljug. Is it, as Mithar has said, because the knowledge of them has disappeared? Is it because they would not be used in a Dharmic way in Kaljug?

    I've seen mantras and sadhanas and such that enable one to obtain Hanuman's powers etc, and I wondered why I had never seen anything similar for the weapons of other devatas.

  3. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

    Weapons like the sudarshana chakra were available in Mahabharat times to Dharmic heroes. Are these still available in kaljug? How would one go about obtaining them?

    I've heard that someone once asked a similar question of Sant baba Jagjit Singh Harkhowale. Does anyone know what his answer was? Neo?

  4. yes by sulleh , and it is happening all over, this is what i thinking, to open a branch and get our munde tyaar bar tyaar. trust me veera its easy to unite in UK or amreeka, than in india, in india we r jats , khatris tarkhaan and everything but sikh.

    It only took 5 heads to initiate the Khalsa Panth and to bring down the Mughal Empire. Start with 5 Singhs, do an ardas, and go from there.

    Perhaps start at a local level and open a martial arts and gym/worout arena at your local gurdwara. You can start a gym with just a bench, a barbell, some weights, and perhaps a power rack. This can be done at someone's house if need be. Train the local Sikh youths to be tyaar bar tyaar, encourage them by example to learn Shastar Vidiya and Sri Dasam Granth vidiya.

    Make it known that you and the other 4 Singhs are able to visit families who are having problems and talk to them about solutions, even if it is just to educate Sikh kuriyaan about Sikhi, about the sacrifices their ancestors have made so that they could remain free of Islamic tyranny. In my mind, it does not matter if these girls choose to lose their religion for the sake of some silly Bollywood fantasy marriage with some would be Shah Rukh Khan. The onus is on the local Sikh community not to let them go without a fight. If after all this help, the youth is determined to follow her own path, then fine - but don't give up on them out of laziness and some modern day fantasy about it being OK to give up Sikhi and follow a Muslim lifestyle.

    And yep, be prepared for the greatest backlash and criticism to come from your own people who are to scared to do anything themselves.

  5. To quote one of the posters on the video "funny how a good beating will make someone speak perfect english and behave properly."

    "Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing." - Conan, in Robert E. Howard's The Tower of the Elephant.

    Some nice boxing in this one. Moral, don't hit random women walking in the street!

    Serious note: I don't like how the happy slapping chavs are allowed to get up and follow the man and his woman. If one is in such a situation, make sure those chavs can't stand back up. Either beat them unconscious or hamstring the fools and cut out their eyes. Mercy in such a situation is likely to get you stabbed in your back.

  7. I should have been more clear, I think.

    I mentioned non-Deistic religions because a) their goal is above any kind of swarag, though both Daoists and Buddhists believe that it is possible to enter these levels but that these are not the end goal, B) the disbelief in any form of Divine Architect of the Universe means that the question of approaching their end results excludes any consideration of prema bhakti (because you need a Beloved for bhakti marg).

    Perhaps a better question would have been this one: is there any difference between merging with Akal Purakh, attaining Nirvana and Return to the Dao? (I think it's clear that there is a difference between union with Akal and Hindus ending up in Shivalok, Muslims arriving in Dargah and Vikings ending up in Valhalla.)

    I've read Bhai Gurdas Ji's work differentiating Sikhi from the 6 darshanas of Hindu philosophy, but as far as I recall, nothing similar written about non-Deist religions.

  8. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

    We all know that Sikhi respects the attainments of Bhagats from other religious traditions in India, and, I believe, teaches that these Bhagats attained the supreme goal.

    But what is the Sikh perspective on the goals and attainments of non-Deistic religions (i.e., religions which do not necessarily use prema bhakti as their method of realisation)?

    For example, Philosophical Daoism teaches a return to the Dao (where the Dao is usually described much the same way as Nirguna Brahman without attempting to anthropomorphise the Dao) and Buddhism urges an aspirant to attain Nirvana without attaching significance to a God-like entity or even nessarily believing in the existence of the atman.

    Would a Daoist aiming for the Dao, a Buddhist meditating to obtain Nirvana, and a Sikh doing bhakti to merge with Waheguru achieve the same end result?

    Regards,
