Its an interesting thing , the way western sikhs want everythinh clear cut. In Punjab, people have a more open approach. Well, here are my two cents. Of course every indulgence such as birthday parties is part of the illusion, maya! One thinks its a happy occassion, but its not!

Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha wrote a book, Gurchhand Divakar. It catalogues almost all the chhands used in gurbani. The book has its first chapter dedicated to theory of chhand structures. But i doubt yiu could find this book , its out of print. As an alternative i would suggest any book from list recommended books for MA Panjabi syllabus..

Arrow There are many way Sikhi develops in a person's life. It may develop from the presence of fear of death, fear of judgement. But some times it may be a time enduring attraction towards the Guru Sahibs. But after it has developed somewhat in one's mind some common factors crop up and take space. They may go into the background but they never die or go away, they always remain there. 1.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Be there no doubt that veganism is a modern day cult. And leave everything else aside, how dare you come on a sikh forum and call our degh as being in blood. Degh was prepared by Guru Nanak Dev ji himself and has his stamp of not only approval but also inherent part of sikh practices. How dare you?

I just wanted to add in a few points: The young vir, the OP is having sexual urges primarily due to his young age and due to his trying to repress these thoughts. Advising a young person to focus too much on diet will not have much effect simple because it was not due to food in the first place. This does not mean that food does not make a difference. It does but food is only secondary or evenby eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I am surprised that they are worried about bandwidth. Its not like they are running amazon or a big e-shop. Its a digital library and that too punjabi language based. How much load could there be?

Most raagis who sing in "pakke raag", make a basic mistake; mistake of giving the raag upper place over gurbani words being sing. Countless times I've seen raagi doing long alaap and sur manipulations in which the actual words of shabad are almost lost. They forget that its the Gurbani which contains spiritual medicine , raag is just a medium for serving the medicine. I think that raag is nothby eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum

In my view gender equality is a modern concept and we should not feel obligated to mould meanings of Gurbani to accomodate these modern concept. In fact this kind of appeasement to masses would be very harmful.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum

It is true what has been said about satsang. What only when the congregation is actually a satsang. It is not satsangat what we normally get to see. And Guru Sahib ji himself is the best satsangat we can have. And Guru ji is present in form of Gurbani. Gurbani da sang sabh to saukhi te uttam satsangat hai.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I beg to differ. It is more important to focus on naam and baani with maximum concentration If going to Gurdwara is not helping this then do not go. Do nitnem at home and mathha tek to a pothi sahib or gutka sahib. Millions go to Gurdwarey everyday without acheiving any progress in naam bhagti. It is naam and bhagti which is vital.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
