It would help if people were to follow it.

It is our faith in the Waheyguru that takes us in the presence of the panj piarreys. We can never say we went there of our own volition. It is the Blessed Guru that leads us there to have the Amrit, it is done through the Guru's blessings and mysterious Power!!! When we become an Amritdari Sikh, we say "thank you" to the Guru for showing us the right path everyday and sincerely pray for His guidance and help so we can live our lives according to His reyat. It is a game of Love and Sacrifice and we can only play it with his Blessings!

No Sikh that claims love for Sikhism and the Dasam Pitta will as much as think of celebrating festivals that belong to other religions, especially in the month of December!!! Our Pitta Ji sacrificed everything for us starting with the Pancham Patshah, Ninth Patshah and then his own immediate family! We can never repay them for the sacrifices they have made for us, the least we can do is, become amritdary and lead our lives according to their Principles instead of arguing whether we should or should not celebrate Christmas which has no connection to Sikhism anyways!! I told my colleagues too, so I don't give or receive any Xmas cards!! It is best to be truthful! We are suppose to feel grateful and not UNGRATEFUL.

I don't think it's a very nice thing to do.

Very funny!! Who is going to fund it?

What is there to learn from this? It is nothing new.

CHaamCHrick, you are absolutely correct, they were not trained to be cowards. Our Deshmesh Pita Ji (Guru) created a very brave Force, I wish I could say the same about the quam. The Khalsa fauj was impossible to subdue or defeat, almost indomitable in the battlefields, whether they were up against the hill rajas or the mughal forces! Their application of Dhai phat does not imply they were cowards. in fact, it indicates or proves the shrewdness and quick thinking qualities of the fauj. DP tactics means two and a half injuries. It is a battle technique utilized by brave warriors which simply involves to hit the enemy first time and then withdraw to some quiet spot to observe if the enemy needs a second helping to finish him off completely. The first strike should have killed him, but if didn't then go back again and hit him again. You keep repeating this action till the enemy is either killed or too injured to present any threat to you. It is a technique used to defeat the enemy that's all. The reason you withdrew to some quiet place was so to make your observations whether the enemy needed further strike to bump him off. They withdrew not because they were 'cowards' the reason they resorted to this technique was to observe the effectiveness of their first strike. They were not cowards, but brave, clever and good thinkers with logical, highly developed minds!! That's is the reason, their bravery has not been possible to replicate. They were a special force with highly developed spiritual powers and unmatched faith in the Guru. Faith can move mountains. Do you know what Jesus says about faith? He says, "Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever, says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and he does not doubt in his heart, but believes what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:22-24) Faith is this simple. The problem with those that do kintoo prantoos have no faith in God and that's is the reason they believe that the Khalsa fauj only relied on dhai phat techniques to win their battles!! They are the original 'doubting Thomases' of our quam, the giddarrs...lol!! Besides, to interpret DP as a 'hit and run' gives one the impression they were involved in some kind of road/traffic accident too scared to face the consequences or get caught by the police!! This is the occupation of real cowards and not the occupation of the impregnable Khalsa fauj!! (http://akalinihang.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/shastravidia-dhai-phat-sikh-guerrilla.html)

And I like you too

Very interesting. I also come from a farming background but my parents started making wines and now they cultivate vineyards instead of potatoes and maize.

Jagsaw vir ji, you come across as a nice gentleman after reading your thought provoking posts. It does not become you to say bad things about your fellow forum user, you are obviously a man of high calibre. I don't think it is very nice to call Dallysingh101 vir ji 'in-bred, un-padh, impotent eunach or imbecile.' He writes what in his opinion is correct and appropriate and to insult him for doing so is not really something anyone should do. In fact, we should encourage people like him to write even more because it is only once in a blue moon writers of such calibre like Dallysingh101 are born. He tells the truth and hits the nail on its head every time without a shred of doubt.

Can someone fetch a sick bowl please!? Quick!

Dallysingh101 is very eloquent and precise with everything he says. His posts are extremely educational as well as enlightening and give you an insight into what is happening in this wicked world of ours. His posts are totally balanced, unbiased, objective and total pleasure to read. Dallysingh101's style of expression is unique, original. accurate, humorous at times (when needed), serious when appropriate and extremely sincere, genuine and straight from his heart. So, we really need to encourage him to write even more and not critize or discourage him. I would like to hear him speak. I bet he is a real orator in real life. Dallysingh101, are you a public speaker by any chance? You should be because you are very articulate and highly skilled!

But,Sir, we are not all Antaryaamies and Mahapurukhs!

You have said it all, despite all this the wretched world in which we live, they expect us to maintain polite language!! Just as well, they don't have any dealings with me, if they did, they be utterly shocked! My kind of language is not found in any standard dictionaries of this world, because it would probably be termed as 'BANNED' language! This world of ours can only be described in this kind of lingo. Can you imagine someone describing the recent events everywhere in the world in flowery and sing a song, Bollywood style musical notes, tones and tunes??
