Can we have more quotes/link to quotes from GGSJ please!

Where else in particular is Sikhi growing, anyone with any info?

I guess most of us overindulge, but what if you're a jawani munda growing up...needs his food, his sleep! But then again younger people should find it easier to get out of the bed!

Can anyone suggest any outstanding books that highlight the stories of people who were manmukhs then became gurmukhs, and the tales of those who sacrificed their lives for their strong beliefs! Only the best books please!

Harjbhela-yeh, i gotta agree with you, good point you got there, but isn't it chameleons that are able to change themselves, i.e skin colour

I wanna start this subject cos i think there are important differences and similarities between Sikhism and Buddhism. My knowledge on Buddhism is very limited so I was hoping people may be able to contribute to widen my knowledge and that of others. I will start off with anything I know, but if I am wrong, please kindly correct me: Both believe in meditation-altho I am not sure entirely how Buddhists approach this because there is apparently no emphasism on the belief of God in Buddhism. Both believe in overcoming the cycle of life and death through meditating and achieving meditation Sikhism unlike Buddhism has the central belief that one must keep their hairs in their natural form Buddhists have idol worshipping no (big statues of Buddha no? and "laughing Buddha statues") That's all i can, please would the learned further this discussion

Does anyone know of any of the Gurdwaras that have some connection to the Gurus that are really serene and peaceful, but unknown, not like some Gurdwaras I have been like Guru Ke Lahore (hope that spelt right), but Gurdwaras that are even less known, and deserve more sangat

As the Dharam Raj and Yama the same, but with different names?

Whenever or wherever in the history of the world, meaning the early days of mankind, there was no religion was there? I mean like one of the 6 major religions in the world today, not counting paganism/polytheism/idol worship. So if people had absolutely no religion or reason for the belief in God, how could they achieve the ultimate goal of life? This is more of a question to satisfy the views of any atheists out there rather than my own. My own views is that maybe God decided these people didn't deserve religion yet, or were going to have to go through several cycles of life before getting this honour. I just want to satisfy atheist/agnostic questions because some say that if people haven't been worshipping God from the beginning of mankind's time, this prooves God was merely invented later on. Please reply thoughtfully, and please correst me if you find any fault with my own beliefs with reference of GGSJ or any other writings of the Guru. I also have a feeling that Hinduism may even be able to explain this...

Isn't reading and getting inspiration from GGSJ part of our pre-set destiny then, so that we can get to God?

Can anyone please give me more information on the Suraj Parkash and Bhai Santokh Singh (1787-1843), who composed it

This may come across to most people as fairly obvious to most people, but it's got to be more than just coincidence that light always is better than dark/darkness. An obvious example is that a lot of people are afraid of the dark, and most, if not all people prefer it to be sunny outside rather than dark. We might consider light in this sense to be "good", and dark to be "bad". So surely this represents something, a God-given insight. What I mean is that since we do not like this darkness, it could be part of a wider picture, that the "good" which is light is like Saachkhand, could be related to Saachkhand, which I believe is supposed to have great light, and also people who have near-death experiences of Heaven have described it to be awesomly bright. On the contrary, we hate darkness, which could be compared to a typical picture of hell. Am I making any sense here?

When a person eats in the langar, if possible they should have made some contribution, e.g maybe buying food, or helping with preparation of food, serving food, cleaning dishes etc (i'll excuse any poor ppl as the langar is meant to be free kitchen for everyone). What disturbs me is that people sometimes people eat too much in langar, for example, asking for like 2 more rotis when someone is coming round offering more, or eating an extra helpful of daal. I think this is wrong and people should eat no more than basic requirements. It's olrite if u take more water or something, but it's no wonder that most of the people who eat too much in the langar are overweight...

What about people begging for money?

I was hoping for more sensible replies, and replies that would help me...none of these have
