Premi

I have been listening to katha of Sri Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin and most certainly recommend it to members on this forum.
SGGS Academy have done a great job of katha for this granth, and I have also come across this granth also which is beleived to be from Guru Gobind Singh's kavi darbar:
"Prem Ambodh Granth"
 

The actual place according to the katha in Gurdwara Nanaksar, Jhang, Pakistan. This is the current condition of the historic gurdwara.
 

 
 
 
It took me one year to listen all through the katha of Sri Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin. I feel blessed and have learnt so much from this Granth. I cannot recommend it enough and it has proved a valuable soure for some questions I had about Sikh history.
 
I hope my brothers on this forum have already started their journey into the katha of this granth.

Found this on YouTube
 
 

@Premi
Just skimmed through that vid.......
 
Looks like the peasants have even managed to turn Tarkhan lifestyle into a jaloose........typical. 

Is there ANYTHING these people wont make a stupid song and dance about????

Met Police officer found guilty of assaulting crime victim
 
A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been found guilty of assaulting a man he believed was the perpetrator of a crime rather than the victim.
PC Jonathan Marsh, 33, went to a report of a man making threats to kill and damaging a shop in Atlanta Boulevard, Romford, east London, in November 2022.
He mistook Rasike Attanayake, who had called 999, for the suspect, arrested him and punched him in the head.
At City of London Magistrates' Court, Marsh had denied common assault.
Mr Attanayake was arrested and later de-arrested at the scene.
Speaking outside court following the conviction, Mr Attanayake said he had been in pain during the incident and had believed he was being suffocated.
He said what had happened demonstrated a need for policing tactics around stop-and-search to be reassessed.
Marsh had denied using excessive force during the incident, after responding to reports that a man had been making threats to kill and was throwing a shopping trolley around.
The court heard that Marsh mistook Mr Attanayake for the suspect, and that he matched the description that had been given to officers.
'Not justified'
Police-worn bodycam footage played to the court showed Marsh pulling Mr Attanayake to the floor, swearing at him and punching him in the back of the head.
He was also handcuffed and put in the back of a police vehicle.
District Judge Amanda Pilling said Marsh had used "gratuitous violence" and his actions were not "necessary, justified or proportionate".
She said Mr Attanayake "barely had time to begin to understand what was happening".
Marsh, of Canvey Island, Essex, was charged following an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
He has been on restricted duties.
The IOPC said Mr Attanayake "was a law-abiding member of the public, who had called the police to report a crime, when he became a victim of mistaken identity".
It said it was in "correspondence with" the Met Police "over whether PC Marsh should also face a misconduct hearing".
Marsh is set to be sentenced on 29 February.

I thought they wanted a lift so I tried to run them over and hit what I thought was a bag. Yup. While cussing specifically. 

Alright! Turn 72 and murder is okay. Yuhs....

I have an audio mp3 file that starts with me playing tabla in (C1 32 hertz) and then slowly graduates in frequency ending after 3 minutes in (B4 493 hertz)
Is there some sort of computer software that can provide a report of the pitch against time so as that the 3 minute video shows the various increase in pitch at various times in the time lag of the audio file.  I can view it on audacity as a spectogram but don'e understand how to read it

HomeCollege and CampusScienceEngineeringHealthBusiness   Turban style and thickness affects head injury risk in Sikh cyclists
by Caroline Brogan02 February 2024
 
A new study from Imperial College London has revealed that the style and thickness of turbans affect the risk of serious head injury in Sikh cyclists
Sudden impacts or jolts to the head can cause skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). TBIs can cause bleeding, unconsciousness, and potential changes to the brain leading to memory loss, mood and personality changes and lack of concentration - sometimes many years after the initial injury. 
However, very little research has been done to ascertain the extent and mechanism by which turbans might mitigate impacts to the head during cycling incidents. 
Now, researchers from Imperial College London and the Sikh Scientists Network have studied the performance of turban styles worn by male and female Sikhs under the types of impacts common to cycling incidents.
The findings allowed them to make evidence-based recommendations so that Sikhs who wear turbans might benefit from the best head protection possible. 
The research is published in Annals of Biomedical Engineering. 
Performance and style
Using crash test dummy heads, the researchers tested five different turbans, distinguished by two wrapping styles and two different fabrics with size variations. They then compared their findings of injury risk with conventional cycle helmets and with bare heads.  
They found that turbans greatly reduced the risk of skull fractures in areas covered with a thick layer of fabric, compared to bare heads. Also, the style of the turban greatly affected the risk of head injury. 
For impacts to the front of the head, the Dastaar turban style with 3 metre long and 2m wide Rubia Voile fabric performed the best, with a 23 per cent reduction in the force applied to the head compared to the worst performing turban style.  
For impacts to the side of the head, the Dumalla turban style with 10m long and 1m wide Full Voile fabric performed the best, with a 59 per cent reduction in the force applied to the head compared to the worst performing turban style. 
They also found that although the risk of skull fractures and brain injuries was higher with all turbans than conventional bicycle helmets, the risk might be reduced using the following recommendations: 
Covering a larger area of the head with a thick layer of fabric.  Placing energy absorbing materials between the layers of the fabric to increase impact duration and reduce force, reducing the risk of skull fractures.  Reducing the friction between the layers of fabric to reduce the rotational force transmitted to the head, thus the risk of brain injuries.  Lead author Dr Mazdak Ghajari, from Imperial’s Dyson School of Design Engineering, said: “From our previous work, we have a good understanding of which types of impacts are common in cyclists and how we should assess the efficacy of head protection equipment in the lab. This project was a great opportunity for us to apply our expertise to empower Sikhs to protect themselves from head injury.”
The study set-up, including the different turban styles, on crash test dummy heads Co-author Dr Gurpreet Singh, from Imperial’s Department of Materials and the Sikh Scientists Network, said: “Sikhs have earned the right to wear the sacred turban with pride for centuries now. However, being just 0.5% of the world population, very little has been done to scientifically empower Sikhs to continue practicing their faith with advanced, protective materials that are in-line with their religious requirements. Due to a lack of research into advanced fabrics, Sikhs currently face varying degrees of risk. 
“Our findings show that simple Sikh turbans have the potential to mitigate head impacts. This provides important evidence that we hope will point the wider scientific community to invest in the best headgear fabrics to absorb shock, which indeed will open commercial markets to people from all walks of life that deal with concussions and head impacts.” 
Force-absorbing materials
The researchers now plan to use their findings to develop a force-absorbing turban material to offer Sikhs who wear turbans better head protection in situations where helmets might otherwise be worn. 
The findings could also be used to benefit Sikhs in other areas where head protection is worn. For example, due to religious tenets, Sikhs who wear turbans are exempt from wearing hard hats and motorcycle helmets in several countries where it is a legal requirement, including the UK, India, some Canadian states, Denmark, New Zealand, Sweden and Thailand. 
Ruth Purdie OBE, Chief Executive of The Road Safety Trust, which funded the research, said: “Cyclists are classed as vulnerable road users, and therefore it is important to think about different ways to improve their safety. 
“The findings of this study could really support Sikh cyclists and help reduce their risks of head injury.” 
This work was funded by The Road Safety Trust and supported by the Sikh Scientists Network. The research was undertaken with Rehat Maryada – the Code of Sikh Conduct and Conventions – in mind.

The above video by sajjan thug is utter nonsense....its not wise to apply ammonia bleach agents such as fairy liquid or the equivalent to metal...your basically ingesting these chemicals when eating food from them.....its not khalsa maryada to use detergents on utensils.....yes cleaning clothes thats okay, although detergents are a casue for skin problems in those who have sensititve skin 

The unpeeled skin of almonds is rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin E, providing a nutritional powerhouse to support your well-being. Embrace the combination of soaked and unpeeled almonds in your diet to unlock their full nutritional potential and enjoy a healthier and happier you.
 

Skin on badaam is useless and has no nutrition its like saying i want to eat a egg and also eat the shell.  Badam is low in fat and carbs and high in nutrition and protein it in the highest of all nuts...but both are garam taseer

If you have any young kids in the family (with chewing teeth!), it doesn't hurt to give them 4/5 skinned badaams a day (if they are not allergic). Traditionally (Ayurveda I guess) they are really good for brain development (Omega oils I think). They are also rich in protein which help muscle growth. Many give young ones skinned badaams in the run up to exams to assist memory recall. This needs to be done overtime and NOT considered some sort of overnight magic pill - this is because the right nutrients need to be built to sufficient levels over time.

As various posted articles say: Soak them overnight and you can remove the skin easily by 'pinching' them out.

They are garam with or without skin, (probably slightly less without skin. When you see the texture of the dried removed skins, you'll see that the digestive system would have to go into overdrive to absorb them!

I remember my mum giving us hot milk with a spoon full of almond oil which I thought was the height of grossness back then! lol

Personally I think using actual badaams is better than using the modern processed 'tayal' (oil) myself.

I think vegees could do with extra to make up for protein/omega oil shortages. But be warned too much will give you the usual side effects of 'garam' foods! i.e. the runs.

I'm pretty sure both are garam.

Don’t worry they’re slow from all that inbreeding. It took them a couple of decades to figure out Maidenhead was down the road from Slough and another decade to find out  about Reading, Tilehurst and Newbury. 
They don’t consider moving to places like Andover, Bracknell, Basingstoke, Lambourn etc. even though their money would go a lot further from selling up in more expensive parts of the south east. I find this surprising as I’d expect them to want cheaper housing to pay for their bigger families. 

Great idea. 
Can you get a BrahmGiani ji involved ?
is the Haap meant as additional to any personal Nitbem?
 
thanks

And didn’t mean to come across rude/nasty, sorry

I agree most of your points make some sense
I don't think anyone denies we have overlap with Hindus

These were not from translations 
You are not espousing the full truths either, smiley face or no smiley face. 

I have heard multiple Katha where it is clarified that it is Ik Oankaar.
What's your source for 'Ik Omkaar'?
What's prompted this topic/thread?
Thanks

This deserves its own thread . Wouldn't done this to a Muslim I'm sure.

Court Hears London Imam Shouted ‘Sister F*cker, Child of a Pimp’ as he Ran Over and Killed Man Lying in Road

OLIVER JJ LANE 10 Jan 2024112 2:08 Imam Qari Abassi claims he believed Harvinder Singh was a discarded briefcase or dustbin lying in the road when he ran over his head as he drove to mosque in London, a court has heard.
A man was killed and two men who were trying to protect him believed they had to jump out of the road “to save their lives” as a speeding motorist tried to drive to a London mosque to early lead morning prayers on the 4th of May 2021.
Court News reports the Old Bailey, the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, was shown dashcam footage of the moment Imam Qari Abassi ran over Harvinder Singh, who was lying unconscious in the middle of the street. Per the report, the court heard audio of Abassi shouting “Sister fucker, child of a pimp, your mother’s pussy of you sister fucker Gandoo, sister fucker” as the car drove over Singh. In Urdu, gandoo or gandu is a derogatory term for a man who receives anal sex.
 
Two men had been trying to protect Singh directing traffic around him while they waited for the arrival of the emergency services. The Old Bailey heard allegations that Abassi, however, drove straight at them instead. He told the court he believed they were drunks or otherwise unfriendly. The men had told the court they had to jump aside “to save their lives” from the oncoming car.
Singh was struck in the head and chest by the car as he lay in the road and died from his injuries.
Abassi said his verbal outburst was at the two men who had jumped clear, not at the man lying in the road, who he believed was a “bin or briefcase or something”. He told the court through an Urdu interpreter that: “I was going on my way and these people are making gestures with their hands and I didn’t know. I was a bit angry about why they are doing this to me. I am just going on my way… When people ask you to stop and you don’t know those people, you don’t stop for that reason.”
Per Court News, Abassi accepted he had been driving over the speed limit but did not ultimately accept that he had done anything wrong, and denies causing death by careless driving.
