  1. rang daban all the way!!!!! bt mayb i shud b nice 2 u and play snap so u undastand wats goin on. :LOL:

    snap... that's the one where u have to get a set of 3 aces... no... i mean u have to say if the next card is higher or lower... no that's not right either... do u have teams in snap?... i'm confused! :? :cry:

  2. I dont rely on Sikh historians and gyanis for info.

    jx3, u don't believe in learning to read scriptures, & u don't seem to want to rely on any external sources for information... where then do u get your information? divine communication?

    "why is it that if a man talks to god he's religious, but if god talks back he's insane?!"

  3. i think this is because wood is natrual

    also because the guru new what was good and bad for example did you know that ifyou have a wooden kanga in your hair then lighting will just pass through you scientest have proven it and thats why people say stand under a tree if caught out in lighting as the lighting will pass through the branches and into the ground. the gurus new this how many years ago same with keshrea scientest have proven people should wear boxers

    i am not sure if this is the answer to your question but hope fully it helped

    i'm sorry, but what a load of crap!! if u get struck by lightning, having a piece of wood in your hair won't do jack! think about it like this... a bolt of lightning has just 'torn' its way through a mile or more of air (an excellent insulator), raising the temperature of the air to 30,000 degrees C (5 times the surface temperature of the sun) & literally tearing the molecules in its path apart, ionizing the air... but it's ok, because that tiny piece of wood in your hair will protect u!!! :LOL: & the last place u want to stand during a storm is under a tree... the human body is a better conductor of electricity than wood (or earth for that matter), & the bolt will go through u.

    'the flame is still alive', u should really check out your information before saying something... before someone actually believes it & gets hurt!

    if anyone wants more info on lightning, they can find some interesting stuff here:

    ps it's spelt lightNing, not lighting!

    now about the actual question, i think pheena hit the nail on the head... who cares what the kanga is made of. there was no plastic in the guru's time & a metal kanga may well be too hard for the scalp as well as incredibly hard to make. wood on the other hand, is cheap, readily available & easy to work with.

  4. In fact, I challenge anyone to beat the Beast on the Gladiator thing at the Sikhi camp providing they adhere to the following stipulations:

    - they are weaker then me, or

    - they are female (or both)

    Moohhooohahahahaha

    i doubt u'll be able to beat anyone... but on the off chance u do, i feel sorry for them & the humiliation u'll put them through... your moves on jallundara pop into mind!! :LOL:

    sorry all... private joke! :roll:

  5. I don't take pride either

    congratulations rupy... u solved it... we are not worthy of one so intelligent! show us the path! :D:D

    on a side note, i just realised where you're from... i've been to boston! :D

    I'll challenge Niddar if he comes down too.

    But only if he sticks to MY maryada:

    1. Niddar is blindfolded.

    2. His hands are tied behind his back.

    3. His legs are tied together.

    4. His stick is actually a carrot.

    5. I'm allowed 3 weeks to go into hiding before he hunts me down and kicks my ass.

    Oh, and when he finds me I'm going to say it was all Mugermach's idea so he gets his ass kicked too.

    even with all those stipulations, he'll still beat u... he'll be able to smell u coming from a mile away!! :LOL::LOL::LOL:

  6. there are various sikh camps now run all over the world. they provide a variety of different functions... introducing 'newbies' to sikhi, providing access to information & different views from speakers, networking etc.

    i wanted to start a thread to get feedback from everyone who's been to a sikh camp (especially camps aimed at 16yrs+) & see what everyone thinks of them.

    which camp(s) have u been to?

    what was good about the camp?

    what was bad about the camp?

    what improvements/suggestions can u give for future camps?

    which types of speakers were particularly good / particularly bad?

    anything else u can think of?

  7. Well, as I'm sure ur aware Guv, some MEN tend to have very FEMALE tendencies and characteristics...

    now that u mention it, i have noticed that some men have feminine traits... & vice versa.

    Sometimes similarities to the opposite gender are so great, confusion is inevitable....

    that's very tru... er... not that i've ever made the mistake of thinking someone was of the wrong gender... no siree... not me... :oops: :roll:

  8. there are many paradox's in gurbani. probably the most well known being the nirgun (non-physical) / sargun (physical) attributes of akaal.

    as jt posted on another thread:

    'Sahas tav nain nun nain huhi tohi ko, suhus moorati nunaa ek tohi'

    so how can this apparent paradox be resolved?... i have a few alternatives...

    1. part of akaal exists in physical form, & another part as non-physical. there is a dynamic relationship between the two. to truly appreciate akaal we must worship both the manifest & the non-manifest qualities.

    2. akaal is non-physical & the references to sargun attributes are metaphorical... poetical representations of love.

    3. all physical reality is an illusion. it is a lie created by our minds. & as such so are the sargun qualities of akaal.

    4. akaal exists as both nirgun & sargun, whereby not part of akaal is nirgun & part sargun, but all of akaal is both nirgun & sargun at the same time. the only analagy i can think of is wave-particle duality in quantum physics, where light is both a wave and a particle at the same time.

    5. akaal is beyond both nirgun & sargun & exists in a state which is uncomprehensible to the human mind.

    6. none of the above.

    i don't know if any of what i said makes sense, or whether i'm just being really stupid.

    personally i think it maybe a mixture of 4 & 5... that akaal exists as nirgun, sargun, & beyond. & a stage of enlightenment is expanding your mind to encompass & accept these apparently contradictory ideas... à la double think in george orwell's 1984.

    then again... it could be that... :? ...

    help!... i'm confused!! :?:
