Freed Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Gurfateh ! Prompted by the ongoing saga that is the 'Sikhs 2 Islam' thread I thought I'd post this. I am not one for major debates like that - My heart sinks every time I read that thread - to my mind those type of threads always descend into - and please pardon my crass analogy - a playground "Who can piss the highest" competition. My post - as regular readers will already know and expect - takes the form of pictures and films - in the hope they will inspire ( hope that isn't too preachy) - they all have a deep important Message - one which we call for in our ardas twice a day. The First film is Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's rendition of Guru Arjan Dev Ji's Bani - Koi Bole Ram Ram - filmed at the Ramgarhia Gurdwara, Slough UK in 1989. This clip is amazing even the most dark hearted cynic will be reduced to tears. Always makes me blub !

Some serve Him as 'Gusain', others as 'Allaah'. ||1|| He is the Cause of causes, the Generous Lord. He showers His Grace and Mercy upon us. ||1||Pause|| Some bathe at sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and some make the pilgrimage to Mecca.| Some perform devotional worship services, and some bow their heads in prayer. ||2|| Some read the Vedas, and some the Koran. Some wear blue robes, and some wear white. ||3|| Some call themselves Muslim, and some call themselves Hindu. Some yearn for paradise, and others long for heaven. ||4|| Says Nanak, one who realizes the Hukam of God's Will, knows the secrets of his Lord and Master. ||5||9|| The second film is from Eid Celebrations in Birmingham UK 1989 (shown on BBC2) - It also is of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - here he is singing my favourite - Mastt Nazron ----- The last line is one to listen out for -- a message for all those of all faiths who like to pontificate or 'posture' religiously - the Punjabi word being 'Dikhava' or show; "Bus hamey Sheikh ji aap jaisey Allah valon se Allah Bachaye" the translation reads - "Oh preacher ! you lust for the maidens of Paradise - Showing off with your bowing and scraping - Oh Sheikh from you and your kind Dear God please save us " Click on link to see clip ; http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...85&hl=en-GB The third film is of the Late Jagmohan Kaur singing Baba Bulleh Shah -- wise words !
