Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh I have posted a few sakhis about Sant Baba Harnaam Singh Ji in the past. For those you interested in learning more about this Mahapursh there are a few more stories on this site: http://www.babanandsinghsahib.org/babaharn...nghji/index.htm Baba Ji once appeared outside village Jandawale and sat under a dry pipal tree. It was the month of June. An old man named Mala Singh used to pass by that side daily. He once requested BabaJi to accept some service from him and on being allowed started bringing milk once a day. The country-side was sandy, and it being the month of June, was scorchingly hot during day time. Mala Singh not…

Hello all Firstly let me say that I have learnt so much from everyone on these boards and am still learning everyday. I have been listening to gurbani by Bhai Davinder Singh Sodhi and I really enjoy the way he tells you stories relating to the shabads - I find it very easy to to understand. Unfortunately, I have exhausted this supply now and I wondered if anyone could recommend another artist I could listen too who is similiar in style. Many thanks in advance.

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh This was an email I received. Below are some of the narrated episodes of those who have witnessed Shaheed Singhs come to protect that which is dear to the Guru. They have been entrusted to Panthic Seva even when they are already in the next world. It is believed that these Shaheed Singhs come to the protection of GurSikhs. Gurudwaras and also to continue to pay respect wherever the Word of the Guru’s Bani is recited in complete devotion.Though they are at rest with the Akaal Purakh, they are still sent forth by the Guru to continue the work of the Guru and sent forth into the physical world in accordance with the Guru’s inst…

I was cleaning my hard drive and came upon the following article. Nankana’s Endowment Lands ( Comments in the talics are of Charnjit Singh Bal. I think Charnjit Singh was the editor of the Sikh Bulletin. I may have taken it from the Sikh Bulletin, but can't find the source of the article) [ Comments by Charnjit Singh Bal , Like many Sikhs I believed that Maharaja Ranjit Singh granted the endowments lands to the Guru Nanak’s birthplace Gurdwara at Nankana. Although Bhai Kanh Singh Nabha’s Mahan Kosh does mention ‘the Gurdwara has 18000 acres and 9,892 Rupees (circa 1930 AD value) of endowments to its name, it does not mention as to who bequeathed the land. N…

This is a problem for all the seekers. It is thought that it is an appropriate place to discuss the techniques and methods of controlling the mind so that one can concemtrate.It is requested that those who have practised this may kindly throw light on this.Gurbani has stated that it is very difficult to control it.It is HIS grace that can be helpful but we should also make some efforts. Members who have practised this may kindly guide.

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.
