bhul chul muaaf karni but i feel for Sikhi to survive singh sabhia views will have to be done away with. Singh sabha is getting more more islamised, Sikhi was never so narrow. I request all of you sangat to ask yorself this question tomorrow our children will have this question " Papaji maryada kaunsi mannde ho tusi ? 1699 waari ke ohde baad waari ? "

tuhaada aades sar aakhon te ! :)changes made !

i salute you for this veer ji ! you have said is absolutely true. i just have never understood whats the big fuss about . we are from hindustan and unfortunately for these guys our gurus couldnt think of greek goddesses like hera, aphrodite, venus. they knew just the shakti swaroops of hindustan. for them they were ladies with immense power on lions and tigers. the atitude of such people is anything hindu is untouchable but why the hell dont you think that the dharma is not the sole property of the hindus. it is of all mankind. there is so much negativity with the thought of being associated with hindu belief. guys try and understand the belief of people is dated back to the tribal times even before they were labeled as hindu.

excellent article ! my request is please all of you read it ! a true eye opener !

thanks a ton for bringing this up veers , i had inquired during this chaitri navratri which was a couple of months back ,with a veer at Sri Hazoor sahib, they dont celebrate chaitri navratri at Sri Hazoor Sahib. But yes, mainly Chandi Paath is done. Jvala singh ji if you can shed more light on the way one should the paath and then the way a chatka of coconut or goat should be done, i really would like to know the right way.

this is probably some babbar khalsa handwork i feel, google for this news and u will come across some posted news as a website http://www.sikharchives.com/?p=5576 quotes him anti sikh !

there is nothing called sufi veers , indian the population of muslims is more jehadi , but paapi pet da sawaal hai so these fatwas wont mean anything. go to all the places where prostitution is practiced , it is dominated by muslims deoband should issues a fatwa that their customers should be just muslim !!!

even the aghoris have similiar akharas and weild weapons

they do all they want , even killing each other !

they are excellent shastar yodha trshool and swords are their favorites, a few of them now have guns too

all theories said , but what i feel is, if our nihangs and aghoris form a coalition, trust me they will wipe out all the malechch off the face of Hindustan !

that goes without saying , as a joke is craked ek baar ek sardar soch raha tha !

yea could be...i have seen this a long time ago

He could have maintained Budha Dal's stand which in a way respects history and again maintains the identity of Sikhs, being part of the large hindu society and practicing Sikh Dharam is understandable. I would like to question him and the chaddi waale rss to first take their stand when sikhs are attacked and when sikhs are asking justice for the 84 slaughter. Where does that VHP international go when sikhs in usa are attacked, why dont they wag their toungues ?

guys i dont understand this nostalgia for hindu dharam, the english called it mythology, we shouldnt is what i feel, there is some history and folklore associated. we need to understand Sikhi was born in India, any of our bani will have examples from the culture of this land. This existed much before it was 'labelled' as hindu'ism'. The Dharam is Sanatan which means it is eternal. 'Ism's can come and go. There has been a lot of addition in the 'Dharam' due to other influences like buddhism and jainism, vegeterianism is one of them. Hindus do not hold any patent over the history of this land. I have seen a Nihang singh giving a discourse on Youtube, I think he is from Sri Huzoor Sahib, he rightly said that Sri Ramchanderji and other avatars were Sikhs in tradition, they had maintained kesh. The puratan idols of RAJA Ramchander ji found have Him potrayed with kesh maryada maintained.

All punjabis are mad adhrakis , i have my stuff home made an hour before lunch have ginger juliens soaked in lemon juice and salt, love it the way it turns red and i just add to rice with a small amount of ghee and some dal forcibly poured on rice.

get ready for acidity and spending some 'hot' moments in the loo ! if u dont mind yor ass on fire go ahead !!!!!

http://www.rediff.com/getahead/2005/mar/15diab.htm This is the concluding part of a two-part series on diet tips for the diabetics, by dietitians Priya Khanna and Seema Tarneja: Part I: Diabetics, heed these diet tips! Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder in which the body fails to convert sugars, starches and other foods into energy. Many of the foods you eat are normally converted into a type of sugar called glucose during digestion. The bloodstream then carries glucose through the body. The hormone, insulin, then turns glucose into quick energy or is stored for futher use. In diabetic people, the body either does not make enough insulin or it cannot use the insulin correctly. This is why too much glucose builds in the bloodstream. There are two major types of diabetes: 1. Type 1 This is popularly known as Juvenile Onset Diabetes. Here, the body produces little or no insulin. It occurs most often in childhood or in the teens and could be inherited. People with this type of diabetes need daily injections of insulin. They must balance their daily intake of food and activites carefully with their insulin shots to stay alive. 2. Type 2 Also known as Adult Onset Diabetes, this occurs around 35 to 40 years. The more common of the two types, it accounts for about 80 per cent of the diabetics. Here, though the pancreas produce adequate insulin, body cells show reduced sensitivity towards it. Type 2 diabetes is usually triggered by obesity. The best way to fight it is by weight loss, exercise and dietary control. Sometimes, oral medication or insulin injections are also needed. ~ Symptoms of diabetes Here are a few: Extreme thirst and hunger Frequent urination Sores or bruises that heal slowly Dry, itchy skin Unexplained weight loss Unusual tiredness or drowsiness Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet Whether Type 1 or 2, diabetics need a balance of diet and exercise. Here are some foods you can eat, and some foods you must avoid! Foods you must avoid! i. Salt Salt is the greatest culprit for diabetics. You get enough salt from vegetables in inorganic form, so reduce the intake of inorganic salt. ii. Sugar Sucrose, a table sugar, provides nothing but calories and carbohydrates. Also, you need calcium to digest sucrose. Insufficient sucrose intake might lead to calcium being leached off the bones. Substitute sucrose with natural sugar, like honey, jaggery (gur), etc. iii. Fat Excessive fat intake is definitely not a good habit. Try and exclude fried items from your diet totally. But, remember, you must have a small quantity of oil to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin E. iv. For non-vegetarians Try and stop the intake of red meat completely. Try to go in for a vegetarian diet. If you cannot, decrease the consumption of eggs and poultry. You can, however, eat lean fish two to three times a week. v. Whole milk and products Try to switch to low fat milk and its products like yogurt (curd). Replace high fat cheese with low fat cottage cheese. vi. Tea and coffee Do not have than two cups of the conventional tea or decaffeinated coffee every day. Try to switch to herbal teas. vii. White flour and its products Replace these with whole grains, wholewheat or soya breads and unpolished rice. viii. Foods with a high glycemic index Avoid white rice, potatoes, carrots, breads and banana -- they increase the blood-sugar levels. Special food for diabetics i. Bitter gourd (karela) This vegetable contains a high dosage of 'plant insulin'. It lowers the blood-sugar levels effectively. Have the juice of three to four karelas early morning on an empty stomach. As a vegetable, too, it can be taken on a regular basis. Powder the seeds of karela (measuring 1 teaspoon), mix with water and drink it. ii. Fenugreek (methi) It is the most common food used to control diabetes. Gulp a teaspoonful of these seeds with a glass of water daily. Soak the seeds overnight. Have the water in which the seeds were soaked. You can make a chutney with methi seeds. You can also eat them sprouted, dried and powdered, or mix them in wheat flour to make chapattis. iii. Indian blackberry (jamun) This fruit is very effective in preventing and controlling diabetes. Powder the stone of the fruit and eat it -- it contains glucoside, which prevents the conversion of starch into sugars. iv. Garlic This is used to lower blood-sugar levels. Garlic is rich in potassium and replaces the potassium which gets lost in urine. It also contains zinc and sulphur, which are components of insulin. Take about three to four flakes of freshly crushed garlic daily. v. Onion Because of its diuretic and digestive properties, onion works against diabetes. Raw onion is more useful. vi. Flaxseed This is the richest source of Omega 3 fatty acids. It helps control diabetes because it maintains the sensitivity of the cell membrane, facilitates insulin, and thereby the uptake of glucose by the cells. vii. Fibre Soluble fibre, found in apples, kidney beans, oatmeal, soyabean, etc, help control diabetes. These aid slow digestion and absorption of nutrients, resulting in a slow and steady release of glucose. They soak up excess bile acids found in the intestinal tract, the same acids that are converted to blood cholesterol. They also help empty the stomach and trigger satiety that can help Type 2 diabetics to achieve weight loss goals. viii. Cinnamon solution Water extracts of cinnamon have been found to promote glucose metabolism and reduce cholesterol. You can boil cinnamon sticks in water and drink this water. ix. Antioxidants Diabetes is often associated with conditions like heart disease, diabetic retinopathy, immune deficiency and kidney disease. Many are caused by free radical damage. Therefore, make sure you include antioxidants, especially vitamin C (lemons), E, selenium, zinc and chromium (Brewer's yeast), in your diet, as they have been shown to control blood sugar levels. DON'T MISS! Part I: Diabetics, heed these diet tips! Priya Khanna, Seema Tarneja

methi or fenugreek is the also a good for diabetes. fenugreek seeds be soaked overnight and taken first thing in the morning. Here is something more i found on wiki " Several human intervention trials demonstrated that the antidiabetic effects of fenugreek seeds ameliorate most metabolic symptoms associated with type-1 and type-2 diabetes in both humans and relevant animal models by reducing serum glucose and improving glucose tolerance. " but before advicing anything the person should first consult the doctor preferably in india, since these 'nuske' are better known here.

thats what they have stored even at that site in afghanistan, of what i have heard prithviraj chauhan was buried there and people step on his grave there.

He is revered for his brave deeds, however the truth is , he lost his control over his kingdom behind his lady love Sanyogita.

This reminds me of the famous doha or couplet in Hindi is char bans chaubis gaj , angul asth praman, ta uper sultan hai, mat chuke chauhan Meaning 4 bans and 24 yards , 8 figers above is sultan .. do not miss him Chahuan

i have no idea how can one do sawa lakh in 40 days, it takes me atleast 7-8 mins to do the complete mool mantar 108 times
