I never got why apne get excited when cameron (or goreh) praise sikhs or wish then a happy vaisakhi. I remember when he come to goodmayes gurdwara and all the apne had a stiffy for a week.. seriously man its like we wait for their recognition and praise like a good little puppy..

He is smashing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why should they declare their caste? Are you looking for a rishta for them?

Many people asked a question on Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s bow. An archer named Jaswinder Singh explains and provides the answer.
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s bow’s peak draw weight was 225kg or 496 lb. Guru Sahib’s arrow traveled much faster than the fastest bow can produce in modern times given the draw weight. The amount of power needed to pull the string back is 496 lb or you can think of it as picking up a weight of 496 lb with one hand. The bow of Guru Sahib weighed 5kg alone.
Historical accounts narrate that Guru Ji fired an arrow from Gurdwara Moti Bhag into the bed of Bahadur Shah sitting at Lal Qila, Delhi.
The distance from the Gurdwara to the Lal Qila is about 15km but the fly distance is about 10km. Now days, an arrow fired from a bow will only travel about half a Km.
Jaswinder Singh stated that in the market at best a 70lb draw weight bow is available but he was able to have an 80lb bow made for a special order which is considered to be one of the fastest bows in the world. In one second, the arrow is able to go about 360ft in about 1 second. Just imagine how fast Guru Sahib’s arrow must have travelled.

they are not Abrahamic concepts, but they are misinterpreted and not understood.   A 'hell' is not a permanent realm, but a place where lesser evolved or misdirected souls have to go to learn.  As for heaven,..there are many heavens and these too are not final destinations.    It's wrong to label such and such as some concept and throw them at other faiths or call them Abrahamic.

You evil mass murdering b@stard! 

Dunno. ...still a fan of something more like this :
 
 

Hmm... This is not exactly what you imagined but I think it is similar.

I cannot begin to imagine how pleasant the scene would be when Guru Ji were singing Gurbani and Bhai Mardana Ji were playing rabab accompanied by sweet chatter of birds in dawn with fragrance of flowers in the morning breeze.

I think the point of view that should be taken is, not whether or not a woman is capable /able etc. to do sewage during monthly cycle, but rather whether Guru Sahib Ji's satkaar is maintained doing sewa in this way. This is by no means a black and white issue, as on one hand you have modern day thinking for doing sewa (modern / better hygiene products), and on the other hand you have the Singhnis of the old holding on to and maintaining the tradition of not doing sewa during monthly cycle. 
However, this should not become an issue of whether or not women should do hazoori sewa at all , that's just nuts.

What's the reason for slandering the Yogi ?  Did he claim to be a sant?
Satkiran, you don't have to slander to prove that you are white and at the same time NOT affiliated with 3HO.   You can learn tons of stuff from Yogis talks, lectures and videos. He had plenty of gyan to give but it's up to you if want to go low enough to pick the grains of sugar from the sand or stay in the elephant-mind
 

How would the Singhs know if a woman is menstruating?  Do the Singhs have a special device that can tell them which female within the 4 walls of a Gurudvara is on her menstrual period? The Singhs must be very highly developed souls to know exactly which woman is on and which one isn't.
 

Yeah there was no way she could fake her facial expressions. I think its quite genuine.

@N30 S!NGH  It takes me back to audio of suleman. Many people did not believe it. I think there is a reason we come across such videos. Its a jolt to get back on our spirituality.

Jai Baba He Man!

i think this was khalsa's flag

Interestong.  So two sons had names with origin in the Islamic world while two sons had names with origins to the Sanskrit world.

Hi
they are warrior-type names, which rajputs generally took, so it could just be coincidence?  nice thought though.  surprised no one else has answered this. 
though two names, Fatah and Zorawar, are actually Arabic/Persian etymology, which we don't see usually see in Rajputs of that time (i think?)
really interesting though

Savinderpal,

This whole issue has been discussed many times when they first started up. You can find many threads on sikhsangat about him.

But to put it simply they have a 1 year naam abhyaas course where you probably stay there and do a serious about amount of daily naam abhyaas under their guidance. At the end they give you a certificate from their institution called Brahm Gyan University stating you completed the 1 year naam abhyaas course. I don't believe it states you are now officially a "Brahmgiani", which was how people started interpreting it. Think there is also a 4 year course.

Yes they have certainly raised the bar in who can partake in Amrit. They believe one should have a certain level of kamiyee and reached a certain avasta before you should present yourself to take amrit. I'm not 100% sure but I think as a minimum you should have reached the stage of anhad shabad. Even after taking the amrit I think you have to commit to spending another year doing further strong naam abhyaas as some other jugties are taught in the amrit sanchar.

They certainly believe in quality not quantity.

Think the aim is to develop pacharaks with practical kamyeee as well as knowing teachings of Guru Maharaj.

I really like his lectures. He is one of the rare few who openly emphasized that one should do waheguru simran and you should focus your dhiyan on dhun of the gurmantar. He also discussed some very advanced stages of sunn, chota pad, dasam duar.
