wjkkwjkf,

khalsa rule means we rule teh entire earth???????

im confused :?:

No, it means Khalsa will rule.That doesn't necessary mean "we" will rule.Only Khalsa.

Primary meaning = desire, wish

Secondary meaning = lust, sexual desire, human love

I think the word could be pret or jakkh.

Pret = ghosts that have to go through purgatory or punishment

Jakkh = yaksh = earth spirits

Well there are loads of different types of dreams, but regarding the dreams you are referring I can confirm that from my own experience the more you practice simran and meditation your dreams start acquiring new qualities. They actually help you a lot in understanding yourslef or possible problems in your inner life. Always be open to dreams, they're very very informative. There is also lucid dreaming which is really fascinaing. MY brother has done it for quite some time and it's amazing what you can achieve with it.

Do Naam Simran in dreams/sleeping, maybe you will experience bliss, but be careful of illusions (Maya-jaal) like seeing your life flash before your eyes, this is an obstacle, ignore it.I speak from experience

kam is not lust :evil:

The meaning of Kaam is desire or wish.But Kaam also has secondary meaning of lust, sexual desire.

Main meaning is desire/wish; secondary meaning is lust/love.You have to understand context in which the word Kaam is written.

Prime meaning is desire

Here are a few quotes from The Art of War - Sun Tzu (translated by Thomas Cleary):

"Leadership is a matter of intelligence, trustworthiness, humaneness, courage, and sterness." - Sun Tzu

"A military operation involves deception.Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent.Though effective, appear to be ineffective." - Sun Tzu

"It is said that if you know others and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you win one and lose one; if you do not know others and do not know yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle." - Sun Tzu

"To perceive victory when it is known to all is not really skillful.Everyone calls victory in battle good, but it is not really good. - Sun Tzu

What everyone knows is what has already happened or become obvious.what the aware induvidual knows is what has not yet taken shape, what has not yet occured.Everyone says victory in battle is good, but if you see the subtle and notice the hidden so as to seize victory where there is no form, this is really good. - Zhang Yu

Ordinary people see the means of victory but do not know the forms by which to ensure victory. - Wang Xi"

"It does not take much strength to lift a hair, it does not take sharp eyes to see the sun and moon, it does not take sharp ears to hear a thunderclap." - Sun Tzu

I recommend Sun Tzu's The Art fo War to everyone, you'll learn a lot; how to deal with your own enemies, external and internal.

Sat sri akal..

I have this question, we have pictures of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the other gurus. But how can we be sure they looked like this?

An artist once asked Baba Nand Singh Ji to give him darshan of Satguru Nanak.Baba Nand Singh told the artist to follow him to the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.Baba Ji showed the artist the beautiful Bani of Guru Granth Sahib and told him that this is Satguru Nanak, here within Gurbani.

You want darshan of Satguru Nanak, read Gurbani.

Naam = The Word, the Real Name of That (Vahiguru), Unknowable/Can be known, Is/Is not, Exists/Exists Not.

Naam = :?:

Jap Vahiguru Vahiguru Vahiguru...and you will experience something really interesting happening...

Naam Jap will lead to Naam

Well RSS and VHP get their money from the diaspora: our mission is to attack their basis in UK, Canada and USA. HOW? Attack the very notion of Hinduism as being a colonial construct ie Hinduism never existed before the Birtish there just different religions brought in one group by the Brits!

Yes, correct lalleshvari.India is a land of many different schools of spirituality.From the sublime to the absurd, the sacred to the profane.

The Sikhi of Nirankar Saroop Satguru Nanak is the Ultimate school.

Keep an eye on the forums from time to time.

Can some intelligent Singhs help me out a little at http://ahmadiyya.ibforums.com/index.php

I post as Hari Singh.They have a sub-forum on Sikhi.

If you know about Ahmadiyya Muslims, you'll know they are very tolerant of other faiths, they really love Satguru Nanak.But unfortunately they can't seem to stop calling Satguru Nanak a Muslim, meaning that He accepted Islam, went to Hajj (udasi to Mecca etc), read from Quran, wore a Muslim chola (Chola Sahib).They won't back down from this belief of their's.Other than that, they respect Sikhi.

I've even posted some Gurbani, check out:

http://ahmadiyya.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=3439

What other Muslims would let you post Gurbani on their forums?

Don't get angry with them, but please participate in the Sikhism forum led by a guy called Shield.He's a pretty cool guy, a gora non-sectarian Muslim, who has a healthy curiosity with Sikhi.I believe he's even been to a Gurdwara Sahib in Canada.He's a member of this forum too.

Anyway go to: http://ahmadiyya.ibforums.com/index.php?s=&act=SF&f=44

Make some intelligent dicussion with the well-meaning(?) but deluded Ahmadiyyas.

The only Sikh I see who are fat are the Gurdwara Bhai's from India eating too much Karah Parshaad, those that drink too much alcohol and old Bibiaan.

I used to be fat until I changed my life around, because of my Satguru.

I am forever grateful to my Satguru Guru Granth Sahib for teaching me some Buddhi.

I just know that none of our Satguru were fat.I very much suspect they were lean and fit, and physically STRONG, especially Satguru Har Gobind, Satguru Teg Bahadur and ofcourse Sacche Patshah Guru Gobind Singh.

I hope all Sikh out there are strong too.I've been blessed with above average strength I have a mean grip :twisted:

dasamgranth.org doesnt hav english translation does it??

They have Panjabi viakhya of Dasam Granth.It's too bad the Dasam Granth section has numerous printing/spelling mistakes.

I heard that jewish people have some sort of halal meat. Is that true.. I could actually ask one of my jewish mates, but i thought that since Punjabis know everything about everything, someone here might know.

It's called Kosher meat.

Dear lalleshvari,

Could you be so kind as to respond to my queries:

lalleshvari: Quote:

DO YOU GUYS ACTUALLY KNOW THAT THE PROPHET (PBUH) USED TO KISS THE HANDS OF HIS DAUGHTER FATIMA AND SIT HER ON HIS THRONE IN FRONT OF ALL THE LEADERS WHEN SHE WAS JUST A CHILD?

Interesting, why did Prophet Mohammad do that?Is Fatima the one that Shia Ismaili call "the tablet upon which Allah writes"?What is meant by this?Does she represent Mahat?What is the significance of Prophet Mohammad treating Fatima the way he did, as described by you?

Quote:

DO YOU ACTUALLY EVEN REALISE IN YOUR IGNORANCE THAT IT IS THE SWORD OF IMAM ALI THAT IS CONSERVED IN KESHGARH SAHIB AS A GIFT TO GURU GOBIND SINGH?

Is this the same sword that Bahadur Shah gave to Sacche Patshah Guru Gobind Singh?I read that this sword is actually a copy and not the original sword of Ali.Am I wrong?I'm keeping an open mind on this.

If you can't be bothered, can you please say.Thank you.

Mugermach:

hey, if hes gonna starve for so long, then why dont he do it during ramadam.

Because he's Jewish.

RupZ:

Do u kno wot, dis story sounds like Jesus Christ's story? Wen he put all of humans-kinds sin on his head.

It's no surprise, all of the Jesus stories are copies of older mythologies, like Osiris, Dionysus etc.

"Christianity also borrowed elements of Jesus' mythology: the virgin birth, the miracles (including turning water into wine, walking on water, and especially healing the sick) were all common elements of pre-Christian Pagan religions. Mithras had 'em. So did Dionysus, Attis, Osiris, and Orpheus. And more. And they had them centuries before Christianity was a twinkle in Saint Paul's eye."

Above quote from: http://www.entheology.org/POCM/

I would not recommend the translation at www.dasamgranth.org

It has many printing/spelling mistakes.

The Dasam Granth at www.dasamgranth.org has quite a lot of printing/spelling mistakes, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.I have downloaded and checked through and found mistakes; wrong letters and vowels in many places.Which is a shame.

Mugermach:

the colour thing is good for begginers, its easier to increase your vocab in gurmukhi. But if you want to read larrivar, then, the colour thing sort of takes the fun out.

Yes, you're correct, it would be good for beginners.You could have both types of Saroop.One for beginners and one for advanced.

Yes lalleshvari, I agree.We need literate Granthi.

Soul = psyche, jivatma

Atma = Self, literal translation is "self," transcendental SELF

Anatma = non-self

There is: Atma - Jivatma - Sharir

Consciousness - Psyche - Body

I believe what Buddhists call anatma is the impermanent self, the Psyche.For me Atman does not mean "soul".Atman = :?:

A Larivaar Saroop can be printed that is easy to read; each Shabad alternating in colour.Like what the Hukamnama at www.panthkhalsa.org

Check out:

http://www.panthkhalsa.org/hukam.asp

Notice at the bottom they use light blue then dark blue alternating.I wonder if a Larivaar Saroop like this exists?If it doesn't, it should.You would have Larivaar Saroop, that's easy to read!

Mugermach:

would be good to print the GGS Gutkas on 'Rag paper', rag paper is paper made using rags of linen and cotton. Its the same metiral as Money paper. This is the reason its doesnt messup when money gets wet. It has linen and cotton in it. Most paper is made from trees (actually the cellulose part of the tree. Yep im a geek), thats why normal paper soaks up in water.

Good idea!Is it financially viable though?No pun intended.

SinghMunda:

I think it is pretty much obvious to most people how high in regard Hindus hold the River Ganges (stampedes and all!), but I have also heard that it can be holy water for Sikhs too. Is this in any way true?

No, Ganga Jal has no significance to a Sikh of Satguru Nanak Dev.Have you ever seen the Ganga in the lowlands, it's so dirty.Higher up it's crsytal clear in the Himalaya, lovely scenery up there.
