Are we confusing the words Amritdhari with Brahamgiani. These are two different states. An Amritdhari still remains a normal person who can annoy you with certain acts. A brahamgiani on the other hand ... only Sukhmani sahib can narrate the qualities of a Brahamgiani. He has s got the highest character and these types of mahapurakh are very hard to come by. The rest are just trying to get there. Out of a million, only one such person is chosen by the almighty.

It must be leaving everything which carries a higher life form In it - as an egg is the food of a chick. There are some papers or maybe rehet in punjabi which mentions not eating eggs. Most of my elders did eat though. I think it is recently it got practised more and you can see why. Eggs contain harmful bacteria these days. You might fall behind in your simran by falling ill. Just my speculation.

This just brings a pangti to my mind SGGS Ang 718 ਕਉਨ ਕੋ ਕਲੰਕੁ ਰਹਿਓ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਲੇਤ ਹੀ ॥ कउन को कलंकु रहिओ राम नामु लेत ही ॥ Ka▫un ko kalank rahi▫o rām nām leṯ hī. Whose blemishes remain, when one chants the Lord's Name? ਪਤਿਤ ਪਵਿਤ ਭਏ ਰਾਮੁ ਕਹਤ ਹੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ पतित पवित भए रामु कहत ही ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥ Paṯiṯ paviṯ bẖa▫e rām kahaṯ hī. ||1|| rahā▫o. Sinners become pure, chanting the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause|| Further on another pangti ਭਨਤਿ ਨਾਮਦੇਉ ਸੁਕ੍ਰਿਤ ਸੁਮਤਿ ਭਏ ॥ भनति नामदेउ सुक्रित सुमति भए ॥ Bẖanaṯ nāmḏe▫o sukariṯ sumaṯ bẖa▫e. Prays Naam Dayv, I have become a man of good deeds and good thoughts. ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਕਹਿ ਕੋ ਕੋ ਨ ਬੈਕੁੰਠਿ ਗਏ ॥੨॥੨॥ गुरमति रामु कहि को को न बैकुंठि गए ॥२॥२॥ Gurmaṯ rām kahi ko ko na baikunṯẖ ga▫e. ||2||2|| Chanting the Lord's Name, under Guru's Instructions, who has not gone to heaven? ||2||2|| It should be noted too that it is God who gives this ability to a man to understand the creator. He is the one who leads people astray too. It is all his khel so whether you get a kalank or not... the important thing is you learn from it and do not do it again. If it was in our hands who would want to get a kalank in the first place. Bhai Joga ji was saved by Guruji who stood guard for the whole night to stop him from getting to a prostitute on his wedding night. Bhai Joga did not technically do anything .... but still the kalank remains in his story ... he let his mind lead him astray. Other peoples kalank can teach us something about our own kalank. However if you are going to get one ... it just happens. That is why we pray to Guruji to hide our kalanks. He also hides our kalanks in the first place, when he wants to keep us from some sort of hurt. Some get exposed but yes Satgur does keep the laaj of his sevaks too.

It is Guru ji who told us to keep kesh. Not a gurdwara committee.

is practiced by nirankaris. No kesh eat meat recite whatever shabad whatever bani no parkash and no rules. Just pray to God however. No Guru either.

The type of sikhi you want I

Avoid upsetting the sangat at all costs. If you can do parchar then you can have a saabat surat as well. Imagine kesatari starting to trim just because you the parcharak does. Don't let this hold you back. We do need good parcharaks. esp with long beards.

Anyone who stops halfway will go straight to a well and jump down it before they realised they had actually stopped halfway... halfway down a well and halfway the deed... leaves you only one option. ... downwards with the gravity. Even kabir ji says... visreya jin naam te pue bhaar thiye. When you don't jup naam you become a burden on the earth. .. your weight becomes heavier for the earth to bear. Naam jup makes you feel lighter. What exactly is the halfway if you never completed a task. Is quarter way fine will be the next question. Well just stop before you start coz a well is hard to find. Even harder is jumping down one once you have found it.

Yes proudly so. I take everything unreligious and try to link It to sikhi

I hope I am not the first one to recommend the use of super glue to rejoin the offending piece of hair. It might not be perfect but at least you tried.

Guys secretly admire girls with open hair. My husband always used to encourage me to leave mine open. Uncut hair is hard to leave open without it blowing everywhere and getting untidy. I finally told him - they cut their hair to get that look. So yes- being amritdhari does mean that you have rid your feelings for a spouse whose looks match the western ideal stamped upon us by advert after advert about what looks best. Why don't people see it as a positive - as in a cut hair girl actually married a sikh boy When they reject pag vale we complain - do wheres the praise now? An apna married an apna and we are still sad. What do we want and who made us judges by the way?

Its all about what you can use to control your mind.

Guru Ji's can think at a totally different level to human beings. Guru Har Krishan Ji was the Guru Ji at 5 years old - chosen over his brother - Ram rai. So age does not matter here - it is the message.

I said if you edit out all religious thoughts. I clearly said it was not linked to spirituality or liberation.

I think it depends on the individual on how motivated you are in learning the language. At the end of the day it is all your hard work. You can learn from a textbook but I think you would need some guidance from somebody. If you can form the letters correctly then good. I you learn a letter a day, in two months I think you will have mastered quite a bit.

I would recommend you to attend Guru maneyo granth gurdwara as the katha there is very simply done with gurbani tukhs and their meanings too. Listen to bhai vishal singh ji katha as well online. The more you listen the more you will understand.

I heard in katha recently that naam jap brings bad thoughts to a boil. So I am assuming that they evaporate after boiling. Boiling causes them to become visible and manifest. This is the janma janma dhi mel. Some of these things we do linger around from our birth as animals. An example given was a sadhu who stayed pure until the age of 80 then he got a kaam attack and he started getting a bad reputation. He looked back and realised his last janam as a fish was causing this mind pollution. So he performed more naam jap to purify himself. No one tells us to not judge others. It is gian which comes from katha which explains to us why people act like animals. Hence we are advised to look at ourselves first.

Thats a very good website. I recently tried to make pinni from watching the youtube videos. Glad to say - it turned out good. I will defintely be using their recipes for more types of pinnis - the besan, atta and mung dhaal one. I thought mung dhaal one was very hard to make but was surprised that the ready made mung dhaal flour takes just about ten minutes to get roasted. It tastes so good and is healthy as well. Will definitely make mung dhaal halva as well, in the future.

Yes

If you do sehaj path and read the meanings of the bani as well your understanding will greatly increase .

If people were that scared of the right thing i.e I forgot to naam jap then we would even be getting some place.

When I was in school, there was a naam dhari girl who woke up at 4am to do the nitnem. I did not even know what nitnem is. I woke up at 11.00 am in the holidays. I learnt about nitnem much later at the age of 12. At least their parents teach them about naam jap. Any naam dharis I have met have been doing a lot more naam jap than our own Ramghariye or who ever else I have met. So yes - that might be my own experience. Simran bhenji I am not judging them, I have merely stated that they do more naam jap than other people I have known. Their parents teach them more than our parents are bothered to teach us. We just stumble upon the path if we are lucky enough and learn else we just live in maya and moh.

Naam is the one that defines mukti. A Guru is the one who guides you towards the naam. It is your choice whether you want to respect your Guru or not. Naamdharis jap naam more than SGGS believers. At the end of your life, your Guru is supposed to come and deliver you. Shabad is the Guru. If you jap naam then naam will deliver you. Their Guru helps them jap naam and that is what is more important for them. People are allowed to follow different paths to the same destination. Who are we to judge them if we ourselves do not follow the words of our Guru - SGGS - Which forbids us to judge others. Hum nahi chan-ge bhurha nahi koi. So the tables turn on us - which of us follow the teachings of their Gurus better? There have been other Gurus in the past before our ten Gurus. So was mukti not available then? Yes it was. It is all upto the devotion of the devotee. You can pray to a stone like Bhagat dhanna jut and God will still come and save you. So devotion is the more important aspect here. Look at yourself deeply and leave others alone.

Has it affected you in a major way in that you are not doing any naam jap?People can have been doing naam jap during the langar preparation. Is eating from an amritdharis hands more important than how exactly the langar was actually prepared? An amritdhari can get distracted too while preparing langar and have transferred other thoughts into the food. Unless it is affecting you in a major way... ardaas should be enough to get rid of any negativity you might be feeling Just try to keep your bibek if you feel you get thoughts like these after taking langar from wherever you had it. No big deal - it was just langar after all! !!!. purified from whatever thoughts those non-amritdharis put into it.!!!
