When I think about how Bhai Jodh Ji and Bibi Amro Ji attracted Bhai Lehna Ji and Baba Amar Das Ji into Sikhi because of their devotion to the divine peace -giving Gurbani I am reminded of the following pangtia of Bhai Gurdas JI. ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਸਕਾਰਥਾ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਪੜਿ ਸਮਝਿ ਸੁਣੇਹੀ। ਗੁਰਭਾਈ ਸੰਤੁਸਟਿ ਕby Sukhdeep Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
It would also be nice to acknowledge how Baba Amar das ji found sikhi during Amrit vela while listening to asa di vaar kirtan from bibi Amro ji. From that point realized harkrishna mala bears little fruit.by Sukhdeep Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I think you have not understood what I wrote. Im not sure why you assume I said he wrote in pad chhed? Im not saying he created any pad chhed writings. Im saying he came up with the idea ( the thought) but it never came into fruition because Singhs did not approve of it. I remember reading somewhere that he wrote a nitnem Pothi ,but I dont agree with it because I have not come across such histoby Sukhdeep Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
QuoteIt is highly unlikely for a Gursikh like Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Ji to have even a Furna of doing such a thing. The other story of Bhai Mani Singh Ji making Pothis of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and being similarly cursed by Sikhs also seems to be fabricated I dont see it as " high unlikely". Only Guru Sahib is without mistake. In our history there are many Sikhs who sometimes made bad mistakes,by Sukhdeep Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
QuotePlease provide historical evidence that Bhai Mani Singh jee came up with the idea of Padchhed. Kulbir Singh An idea settled in his mind to break up Gurbani into padd chhed but after talking to Singhs about it the idea never came into fruition .

Pyasi Chatrik Ji, You make some good points but Im sure the scholarships have some type of affirmative action which caters to lower caste/lower economic strata, and location.

Thanks for the link Veer Ji. Do we have to donate on the 12th or can we do it before the 12th. Also, have you worked with this Dasvand Network group in the past.

Whether SDO is alive or not is irrelevant . SDO was excommunicated from the panth and the jatha because of his views such as Bhagat Bani not being Gurbani. Sometimes peoples arrogance rise to a certain level that they wont personal attention and start to delude sangat. Teja Singh Bhasaur also started having weird views during Bhai Sahibs time and Bhai Sahib boycotted him. Even some rangley sajjanby Sukhdeep Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
There is nothing to be learned from that blogspot. The people have a Sanatan agenda and have no real interest in Tatt Gurmat. You or the author of that blogspot is taking Bachitar Natak out of its context. Sri Guru Gobind SIngh Ji did not help Durga in any life. Bhai Lehna Ji was a servant of Durga before getting initiated into Gurmat. When initiated in Gurmat he noticed how Durga was a servantby Sukhdeep Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
You seem to be insinuating that Dusht Daman ( Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in a previous life) was a servant of Durga and he made a promise that in Kaljug he will fulllfill his duties to her.

Jujhar Singh Ji, there is some serious mistakes in what you have written I dont know where to start. Firstly, a writing from the 17th century by a Muslim does not supersede a writing from the 16th century by Guru Sahib. Both Sri Guru Amar Das Ji and Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji have written in their Hukumanams to sangat to not eat meat.

I noticed the last couple of years Sri Guru Nanak Dev Jis joti jot is always on September 22nd. Whoever selects these dates what source/sources are they using? I'm assuming they are using Bhai Balas Janam Sakhi and Bansvalinama since Guru Sahibs joti jot is written as Asu Vadi 10 ( which is equivalent to September 26), but JanamSakhis only give dates of Pelhi Paatshaah. Does this mean all other dby Sukhdeep Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I think this Hukum specifically refers to non sikhs. A prime example is when Aurangzeb broke his promise to Guru Sahib during the Battle of Chamkur Sahib. Another lesson is when Maharaja Ranjit Singh trusted the promises of the British ( despite AKali Phoola Singhs objection) in which they said they would be helpful allies against the French, but their real intention was to invade Punjab.

Vivek Jee,[ Western Scientist classify species differently then the Ancient Indians did.

I think Gurbani has no stance on Evolution. Evolution is about materialism and physical mass whereas Gurbani is all about spirituality . But one thing for sure is that Gurbani does not share the same European and Scientific views of creation.

I dont think its a good idea to discourage people from attending Gurdwara Sahibs. People think by renouncing society there spiritual jeevan is going to be approved. This is not the case.

I was told that originally ( before Sikhi) most villages in Punjab had an inn for travelers . This inn was called " Dharamshaal". Dharamshaal in Sikhi is similar the only difference is this inn also has langar and Gurbani kirtan. In Anandpur Sahib, the Dharamshaala of Bhai Nand Lal Ji was most pleasing to Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The reason being it catered guests even in the latest hours.

I think practices/standards vary depending on ones locality. In the Western countries there is a more liberal approach to certain foods .

The original nishan sahib which came from the dumalla of Guru Sahib was blue. The one in the pic most likely came from a period during or slightly before the missl period.

Js Singh ji, You are correct if you are saying Punjab is the most conducive place for anyone with aspirations for being a genuine naam abhiyasi Gursikh, since many western gursikhs seem to be overly materialistic.
