WaheguruJiKaKhalsaWaheguruJiKiFateh Please forgive daas as daas has forgotten where daas had gotten this article from. But, please enjoy it as it does provide insight into Ajaapa Jaap.

Sabad Hazare EIK ONKAR SATGUR PARSADI ONE ALL PERVADING CONSISTENT LORD, UNION WITH HIM BY HIS GRACE I RAMKALI, PATSHAEI Xth O my mind, when you will realize the Quintessence of the Divine abiding in you, and attain to Him this way, you will not get affected by the evil instincts of wrath, greed, obstinacy and attachments. (3) Practice renunciation, considering your homestead as if to be living in a forest, as a detached person. Continence be your matted hair, your contemplation of Him as your ablution, and disciplined conduct be your long nails. The Divine Knowledge and His Guidance be the Guru; and the Divine Love be the ashes to be rubbed on the body. (1) Eve…

RK2 = Raj Karega Khalsa Under standing spread of Islamic philosophy If Sikhs dream of Raj kare ga khalsa . This Raj cannot be obtained with a begging bowel ( like the currant Indian PM we have) For if Sikhs desire to leave a indelible ink in man kinds history they will have to ponder how there marching tune will be different from those of West or the Islamic jihad.march . Let us see the march Islamic philosophy march , west I shall discuss later Since its inception Islam in ancient Arabia in the 7th century it had a band of small follower who nearly got wiped out in early days .

What is a Nihang? Nihang is a Persian word meaning crocodile. The Sikhs took the name and the uniform from the Mughals. Nihangs constitute an order of Sikhs who, abandoning the fear of death, are ever ready for martyrdom and remain unsullied by worldly possessions. A Nihang is one who has nothing and is free from anxiety. The order is said to have been founded by Guru Gobind Singh himself as a fighting body of the Khalsa. The Nihangs were also called Akalis (servitors of the Timeless God). Most of them wear blue turbans. Nihangs can be recognized from a distance as they wear dark blue robes with their legs bare below the knees and high blue and yellow turbans laced with…

Salvation What is such a feeling? I'm floating, wandering amongst the clouds... No, love. Is it? It's blinding, this sense of security. Falling into the continuous void. The hollow throbbing that hung within me, Slowly consuming. Why did it suddenly stop? I hadn't expected it this soon: I didn't know you would come to me. A hand, Reaching through the lucid gray screen, You stretch towards me, with love.. It's then when I see: Your eyes, your eyes!, I can finally see them. They glow, oh, how they glow! So Beautiful, Lone fireflies, dancing in the late summer breeze. You close your eye so sweetly, And yet they still glow and shine.. That tenderness sur…

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh ਕਬੀਰ ਇਹ ਚੇਤਾਵਨੀ ਮਤ ਸਹਸਾ ਰਹਿ ਜਾਇ ॥ kabeer ih chaytaavnee mat sahsaa reh jaa-ay. Kabeer, let me remind you of this. Do not be skeptical or cynical. ਪਾਛੈ ਭੋਗ ਜੁ ਭੋਗਵੇ ਤਿਨ ਕੋ ਗੁੜੁ ਲੈ ਖਾਹਿ ॥੪੪॥ paachhai bhog jo bhogvay tin ko gurh lai khaahi. Those pleasures which you enjoyed so much in the past - now you must eat their fruits. ਚੇਤਾਵਨੀ = remind; ਸਹਸਾ = doubt; ਰਹਿ - remain; ਭੋਗ = pleasures; ਭੋਗਵੇ = enjoyed; ਗੁੜੁ = sweet, fruit; ਖਾਹਿ = eat. Bhagat Kabeer Ji is reinforcing the fact which we forget almost every second of our lives - that the so-called pleasures of this world are temporary and can have disastrous consquences for…

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh ਕਬੀਰ ਮੈ ਜਾਨਿਓ ਪੜਿਬੋ ਭਲੋ ਪੜਿਬੇ ਸਿਉ ਭਲ ਜੋਗੁ ॥ kabeer mai jaani-o parhibo bhalo parhibay si-o bhal jog. Kabeer, at first, I thought learning was good; then I thought Yoga was better. ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਛਾਡਉ ਰਾਮ ਕੀ ਭਾਵੈ ਨਿੰਦਉ ਲੋਗੁ ॥੪੫॥ bhagat na chhaada-o raam kee bhaavai ninda-o log. I shall never abandon devotional worship of the Lord, even though people may slander me. ਜਾਨਿਓ = thought; ਪੜਿਬੋ = reading; ਭਲ = good; ਜੋਗੁ = yoga; ਭਗਤਿ = meditation; ਨ ਛਾਡਉ = don't leave; ਭਾਵੈ = even if; ਨਿੰਦਉ = slander; ਲੋਗੁ = people.

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.
