Dear All Please read this comment with open mind do not take this blog with complex thought, Guruji had given Kipan us in 15th centurary that time we need it very badly bcos we were less in counting and the governing body is cruel, that time Guruji thought it is neccesary for a Khalsa, but if Guruji were alive in this modern world I m verimuch assured he never told us that it is neccesary bcos now a days we r not to fihgt with anyone. Please read it if u thing i m wrong please clarify my doubt i ll help me. Thanks

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ke Fatheh Hope the above does not seem like a silly question. From my understanding Gur-Mukh = Guru's Student. Does that mean that to be classed as GurMukh you have to be AmritDhari? Pull Chuk maaf

Old age, I decided, is a gift. I am now, probably for the first time in my life, the person I have always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometime despair over my body - the wrinkles, the baggy eyes and the sagging butt. And often I am taken aback by that old person that lives in my mirror, but I don't agonize over those things for long. I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become more kind to myself and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend. I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I…

36 Principles of Baba Nand Singh Ji 1) Sri Guru Granth Sahib shall have to be worshipped as a living Satguru Nanak Dev ji. 2) Prayers for getting rid of all worries, diseases, pains and poverty etc. shall have to be sincerely made before Sri Guru Granth Sahib, fully believing that Satguru Nanak Dev ji is sitting there. 3) Whatever you eat or drink should be offered to Sri Guru Granth Sahib before you take the same. 4) The Satguru wants to test your intentions, devotion and sincerity. He is not in need of any worldly things. Whatever you place before him is a token of your affection for him. He is the True Giver. 5) One must spend at least two and a half hour in…

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
