  1. What kind of books are you looking for? Books on history? Philosophy ?

    The sword and the Turban of the sikhs by Tarlochan Singh is awesome...

    I'd prefer philosophy etc... maybe commentries on spritual aspect of sikhi to. also commentries on bani.

    Neo Singh are you working on translating any kathas like the Jap Ji Sahib one?

  2. Wasnt Sikhsangat site hacked though ? apprently it lost some of there threads because of it maybe that explains the baba mit singh thread disapearing

    A while ago I remember reading on the forum the story of Bhai Randhir Singh asking Sant Gurbachan Singh to do ardas to ask maharaj for forgiveness for the mistakes which he had made with regards to Raagmala issue. This is a story verifiable by many mahapursh and Singhs from both Jathas have verified that this took place.

    Which mahapursh and Singhs are these? were can i read about it

    i can understand though that people might not agree with the story as that would mean der "bhai sahib, baba, sant" was wrong.

  3. well, do u need katha websites.. or just particular katha links!!

    if u need individual katha links.. then it wud be better to let us know your interest.. like.. katha related to history, or straight line to line meanings.. or deep veechar on a specific tuk from gurbani.. or just a general kathaa on any topic (like vikaar, pain, maya.. etc.)

    thx

    thanks shaheediyan

    and curious ji yes i would like some on general topics like vikaar, maya, also on veechar on nirgun/sargun etc..

    or if they are any compartive katha on religions

  4. Its amazing that we have all of these books that you hardly ever hear about. thanks for sharing the list with us

    I've never heard of them myself

    The Sarkatavali is written by Pandit Hardiyal Ji who was a distant relative of Guru Amadas Ji again focusing on the need for the Guru, Gyan, Dharam, etc

    I would definatly want to listen to the veechar for this.

    Also i heard Bhavsramrit has been translated in english somewhere?

  5. I feel your pain samosa singh i alot of the time feel preety much the same way and question alot of things even the existance of God at times.

    I came across this quote recently on pain by an american poet Jim Morrison i think it was

    “People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
  6. Do these centre's actually do parchar? or are they opening just another gurdwara? Who is it funded by? I've seen many little "organizations" talking about how they will spread in depth sikhi parchar etc... but when i've visited these talks/ seminars etc.. i ts always been the same old stuff grow you hair take amrit... thats why alot of sikh youth arent fond of sikh events and talk that take place anymore.

    Is there even a place were one can learn about sikhi/ gurmat philosophy/theology in the west?

  7. Thank you for the replies :)

    Could you possibly explain Sankar Amrit, Naam Amrit and Gyan Amrit and the differences between them?

    Also im guessing by sankar Amrit you mean Khandeh di Paul? is Khandeh di Paul Amrit ceremony simply an initiation into the sikh fold and accepting Guru Granth as Guru? Can you not accept Guru Sahib as Guru without taking Amrit or is Amrit a must?

    Also Neo Ji what is Adyadhamic Sikhi? I'm not familar with these techinical terms :( lol

    Maybe you could create a glossary of words :P
