Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh As most of you know that we were down for almost one week because someone hacked into our server on two occasions. It was not an automatic bot attack but actual person who was managed to get into our server and gave one of his id (never posted publicly) it's own admin access. We decided to check on our forum security due to recent spam postings and we found the hacks that happened last month. We pulled our forum down and did the clean sweep, updated the software and screened the database. We encourage our members to change their password as soon as they can just to be on safe side. Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh

What happened to our website? Have all the issues been resolved now? It took quite a long time to come back on.

The path of sikhee, is a path of devotion, of love, of surrender of our wicked minds to the Beloved. We can not take it as a business deal, like I give this so much to have that in return... That is not the right attitude. When one loves someone, there are no calculations or speculations, it is just giving oneself selflessly to the beloved. So should be our love for Wahiguru, at all times, at all places .... When He has given us so much without restrictions, why to limit Him with numbers and times? The following are some words full of wisdom from the Bani, guiding us for if we want to play the game of love with Him: jau qau pRym Kylx kw cwau ] (1412-2) ja-o ta-o paraym khaylan kaa chaa-o. If you desire to play this game of love with Me, isru Dir qlI glI myrI Awau ] (1412-2) sir Dhar talee galee mayree aa-o. then step onto My Path with your head in hand. iequ mwrig pYru DrIjY ] (1412-3) it maarag pair Dhareejai.

I remember someone saying in Katha that simran of the shabad is like the gentle trickle of water on the mountain stone of our minds , the longer the contact/flow the deeper the groove , the deeper the groove the quicker to break the hardness of the mind . I wish you all deep rewarding abihaas in the coming days ... slok mhlw 4 salok mehalaa 4 Salok, Fourth Mehla: <> siqgur pRswid ] ik oa(n)kaar sathigur prasaadh || One Universal Creator God.

I was wondering that also. Did someone try or managed to hack it? If so who were they? And there should be a backup forum or fb group just incase this site goes down and we can keep in touch.

After listening to Giani Ji's katha a couple of years ago with guru ji's kirpa I tried to complete 125,000 Mool Mantars up to hosi bhi such. I used a tally counter which counts up to 9999. Every time it reached 10,000 I wrote it down on a piece of paper. It practically lived with me for the entire time I was doing it. At first it was very hard especially since I had never done anything like it before. On some days I did more than others and when ever my hand went into my pocket and touched the counter spontaneously my jaap would start. Sitting, walking when ever I felt I could do one I did... Giani Ji said initially don't worry about completing it in 40 days just do it so you get into the routine. Took me just over a year. I didn't know about any maryaada, so just did an ardas before guru ji when I started in his hazoori and at the end I finished the last few in Guru ji's hazoori and took a ramala and sweets for my Guru. Setting yourself a large goal is one of the best methods to remain focused as Giani ji has recently stated. The mind starts strong but after a few days it no longer wants to do it. Reminding yourself that you have set this goal and it must be reached keeps you going on the path. The pyaar, and relief ;-) hehehe, one has after the milestone is reached is unexplainable. Sure for those who already do loads everyday they might not need to count. But for beginners like myself I can't thank Giani JI enough for inspiring me to try it out. The only advice I would give myself now should I ever attempt it again is to try and listen to the mantar with full attention of the mind when reciting. Whether you do it orally or with the voice of the mind :stupidme: I do not write this post in pride but hope that if one person reads it and it inspires them to undertake it then I'll be most pleased. If someone like me can do it so can you... May Waheguru Ji bless us all in our own personal journey's to be in his pyaaray charan.

Just like to quote sunsingh veer regarding 40 days chalisa, he can shed some more light on this as well:

Khalsa Ji Anand is very difficult to describe in terms of words. Imagine the following scenario: A young child , who cannot yet speak , is given something very pleasant to eat. Then the child is asked to describe the taste. The only indications available would be the child's smile , glowing face , and self satisfaction since the child does not have the ability to describe it verbally. The state of Anand is similar to that. With regards to spiritual phall , one will feel increased self confidence. The mann becomes more focused. The mann's desires will begin to be fulfilled automatically {ridh sidh}. Life generally will become more blissful. One will feel closer to Sat chit Anand Ishvar {eternal bliss}.
