Written very well. Lot of information put in a page. Few topics seems repeated like : SIRI GURU JEE’S REQUEST FOR SHAHIDI. Would be great if it could translated to Punjabi as well !!by BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Thats a very ideal situation where the Jathedhars work independent of the politics. Unfortunately we know that for some years thats not the case. But shouldnt we think of some other better solutions rather than questioning the Jathedhars as that will send it as a trend and that the fear is that the importance of the place will be lost over the time (Althought Guru Sahib is himself RAKHAAAYK).

Great Writeup for a boost to have/build BHAROSA in Guru Sahib and also have one point of contact for all issues (Sansari and Parmarthi). We do need to understand few things i guess though Everything happens for a Good Guru Sahib is SAMRATH and only he knows good and bad for us , hence he is the best judge. Sometimes we may feel that a particular thing is good for us but the almighty (as heby BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Great topic and great thoughts provided with Gurbani references. I myself am not great USER of Amritvela yet but as i read it from BHAI SAHIB -- Amritvela is a Gift to Gursikhs from Guru Sahibs. I hear gursikhs asking questions (may be not today) -- whats your Amritvela ? (Meaning whats the Nitnem for Amritvela). Bhai Sahib Maaf Karna but i feel we must not have this question "what time does iby BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Definitely , i wont be able to add much/better than already shared but DASS always has a feeling on this subject. -- Sikh's life is all about GIVE UP (his mind) , LEAVE to GURU SAHIB (ਜੀਵਣਕੀਛਡਿਆਸ). All issues that we see within (family , satet,country , PANTH) are all about me and myself. I say i work hard than my wife.

Perfect -- Thanks Veerji/Bhenji - grateful for sharing the KHAZAANA here. Admin jee - can you please compile all this information into a document and put it someewhere preserved on the site for references, i am sure many people need this information and its bound to get lost again with the growth of threads.by BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Perfect !! I think thats the cause of issues in the PANTH too. One never tries to re-unite in the modern world. Once the split happens it happens for ever. We see one Gurudwara Sahibs splitting to 2 and then 4 and then 8 , but we rarely seen 2 Gurdwaras getting together for one. I think GURMUKH shouldnt have this attitude for the good of themselves/for the good of PANTH. I know this is just onby BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Bhenji - That was great information,. My next question is : so is it wrong to sing a SHABAD in a RAAG in which its not written in ? as i think if a Shabad represents a specifi mood/rythm , then saying it a different on wont be somewhat changing it ?by BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I wanted to understand for a long time the signficance of the RAAGs in the Guru Granth Sahib , distribution of the BANI amongst the RAAGs. I hear Keertanias talking lot abt RAAGs , relating the VAAAAJA keys to individual RAAAGs -- so do these RAAGs in the BANI relates to kind of same theory ??? Thanks for sharing the Info !!by BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I often feel that Gurmakh will/shall ultimately look like as described in the MOOL MANTRA. AND we all know the way to get near to that is through the PATH described by Guru Sahibs -- Amrit -- Rehat -- Naam -- Bani -- and other Gurmakhi requirements Now the questioni have is whats the scale of measurement of one's progress in his goals to reach Waheguru ??? We know we have certain amouby BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Thanks for sharing Veerji. I am not sure if it will be easy to find such Gursikhs in near future. All we see around is HATRED - Smiles are seen very seldom. I know lot of other Gursikhs having SUBHAAAG of doing Sangat with Bhai Sahib - wish all of them will reach this forum to add their experiences to benefit us.

Vaaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaaheguru Jee Kee Fateh ! Recently we have seen that we have started to ignore/question the AKAL TAKHT SAHIB and Singh Sahibaan's Huknamaas. I was recently a part of an email conversation where the individuals advised to discuss the Matters with AKAL TAKHT Sahib instead of blindly following it.The theory was powered by saying that we are in western world now (have theby BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Vaaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaaheguru Jee Kee Fateh ! No Doubt this is an excellent initiative/effort. Only thing we need to make sure is that -- We are open to discussions rather than thinking that only what I say is "RIGHT". We see that there are many forums around but they all end up with controversies. We should also carry forward this media discussions with the power of GURMAT/GURby BalrajSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Thats a great topic to be discussed as i feel that has contributed to the cause of today's Sikh Panth Controveries and also helped people loosing the real GURMAT UNDERSTANDING/ASOOLS. I think Katha(A Gyani's Katha as you mentioned) that has been the focus of most of the people can be very destructive as Gyani's Katha is nothing more than his own understandings of the topic.
