Do Sants Exist? 1 2 3
by SunSingh- 29 replies
- 9k views
Unfortunately, these days people keep saying that the only sant is Guru Granth Sahib ji, despite the fact that Gurbani calls the individuals Bhagat Prahlaad ji and Bhagat Kabir ji as sants. It's crystal clear that sants exist from Gurbani, yet people keep lying about it (or haven't read Gurbani and just keep promoting the ideology that they have been taught). It's extremely disrespectful to Gurbani. So I would like all those who believe that sants don't exist to come out and prove, using Gurbani, that sants do not exist. Perhaps all the nindya and issues can be settled once and for all. (although i doubt it)

Pretty good story I found on the net. When recitation of Gurbani cured me of deadly cancer, I experienced God. If God is with me, who can be against me? Not even the deadliest disease of cancer can take my life away and that is exactly the divinely inspiring message of the truly miraculous story of my victorious battle against bone cancer which was medically diagnosed to be multiple myloma. It was the continuous recitation of Gurbani that not only cured me of bone cancer that had already destroyed most of my bones in my skeleton, but also shattered my will to live. The blessings of Guru Granth Sahib not only triggered and accelerated the processes of complete and tot…

There have been threads on numerous forums documenting the reasons why people came into the Sikh dharm. It would be great to make these very inspirational stories into a pdf file for distribution. However, one thing is that these threads do not solely contain inspiriational accounts of how people were graced by the Guru. They also have debates. For example, People say I learned that Naam Dhrir is the only way to do simran so I went to go get Amrit chuk from akj. Others say I learned you don't need to so I went to DDt. People also debate keski, Raagmala, and sometimes other things are debated. Needless to say, the inspirational value of such a thread (although still am…

Dear Sikh brothers and sisters, Can anybody please explain the following verse from the SGGS ?

Im not sure which post I was reading a few hours ago however it said something about Guru Nanak Sahib and Sant Mardana ji and it said they sat on their assan's to read Rehraas. Im sure rehraas was compiled at a later date, and I want to find out when it was actually compiled. I say this because reading rehraas it has many different patshaiya's bani in it, for example: rwgu Awsw mhlw 4 so purKu raag aasaa mehlaa chautaa so purakh Raag Aasaa, Fourth Mehl, So Purakh ~ That Primal Being: <> siqgur pRswid ] ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad ] One Universal Creator God.

First Guru - Guru Nanak Dev Jee (In Prose) The Almighty is the Truth The Almighty is Omnipresent Sovereign Nanak is his name and he is pervaded with righteousness, No other holy-man, as distinctive as he, has ever been in the world. His detachment enhances the pride of the saintliness, And it becomes every body’s mission to sacrifice life for him. The seekers of the Almighty and common on-lookers, All are toiling for the (divine) dust sprinkled by him. When the Almighty himself eulogises him, what tribute can I render, And how can I expound his worthiness? Thousands from the domain of the spirits are his disciples, And so are the millions from the temporal wo…

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh This is a Shabad by Bhagat Kabeer Ji on Ang 484 of Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. ਆਸਾ ॥ ਕਰਵਤੁ ਭਲਾ ਨ ਕਰਵਟ ਤੇਰੀ ॥ ਲਾਗੁ ਗਲੇ ਸੁਨੁ ਬਿਨਤੀ ਮੇਰੀ ॥੧॥ I would rather be cut apart by a saw, than have You turn Your back on me.

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.
