ਸੱਜਣਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਬਹਾਰਾਂ Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh I never met Bhai Kulbir Singh ji in person atleast in this lifetime, but the impact he continues to have on millions like myself doesn't need any detail.

I have watched the amazing video made by the Singhs from Gurmat Bibek on ਦੋਸਤੀ quite a few times as it is truly an eye-opener for us travelers treading this very cruel path of Kaljug. It is a touchstone to decide who qualifies to be a true friend and who should be dealt with as minimum as possible or not at all.

On Ang 1358 in Slok Seheskritee Pancham Pita Sri Guru Arjan Dev Jee gives us the structure of all these 5 vikaars that have tormented all of us from infinite lifetimes, including the present one. I feel there is a possible secret behind the order in which Guru Sahib mentions every single one of them. The very first one is moh (excessive emotional attachment), second comes kaam (lust/unfulfilled sby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh Bhenji, this worm was born in a Punjabi Brahmin family and Guru Ji had mercy and gave him Amrit 13 years ago. Now after 13 years not only parents but rest of the extended family has whole-heartedly expressed their joy and even pride that this worm became a Sikh. So don't worry too much. Just make sure you don't do anything that offends your familyby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Thank you Veerji.by Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Thanks Veerji. And what about Kaur?by Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Pyaareyo First question: Does Kaur mean prince or princess? If it means "prince", why did Guru Sahib choose a "seemingly masculine" surname for Sikh women? If it means "princess", why did He not choose something that means "lioness", since men were given "Singh" as surname and it means "lion". Second question: Why did Guru Sahib "masculinify" Holi to Hola, ਮੁਛਾਂ to ਮੁਛਹਿby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Please don't hate me for saying this. Just like people are quick to blame Punjabis for "Punjabifying" Sikhi, or Hindus/Indians for "Hinduizing" Sikhi, just like people blame "pendus" for dragging their "tribal mindset" and "backward culture" into Sikhi and "pendufying" it, I sort of feel (and I apologize if this sounds rude), that western born Sikhs, whether ethnically Punjabi or otherwise (i.by Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
A humble request/message to all “converted” Sikhs from non-Sikh and/or non-Punjabi backgrounds. Let me start by saying that I am also from a non-Sikh background, and so (if possible) please try to read this message with an open and unbiased mindset. We are really blessed to be Sikhs! We are fortunate that people like us from non-Sikh and/or non-Punjabi cultures/races are adopting Sikhiby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
eyesacademic jee, fully agree about appeasement. I wrote a separate article piece about this, slightly similar to the one I recently posted about same gender weddings. Nimarta jee, thanks for brilliant responses. I just hope modern day Western-born or Western-raised GurSikhs can understand what you said.by Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
We know that Sikhi is a staunch proponent of gender equality. Gurbani says ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਿਤਾ ਤੂੰਹੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਾਤਾ ॥ You are my Father, and You are my Mother. It calls upon Vaheguru as both Father and Mother. I can understand why Vaheguru is referred to as Mother, because a mother cares for her child in all possible ways, a child depends on his/heby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

With all this nuisance over inter-faith weddings taking place in Gurughars, looks like everyone forgot to actually try and understand the real meaning behind the 4 Laavaan. In our modern world, if you give false witness, false testimony, forge signatures, or commit any sort of plagiarism or perjury, you are held accountable and legally punished.

Hindus have been the largest majority in India as far back as you may want to check history. Yet they have always been attacked, plundered and ruled by foreign invaders who came in much smaller numbers. There are several reasons for this that come to mind right now, although these may not be the only reasons. (1.) Hindus have never been united, and one of the many reasons for this is that tby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Just wanted to add a few thoughts to this very old post. Every devout GurSikh who has the prakash of Dhann Dhann Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee Maharaj at their place of residence always make sure to do so at the highest spot located over there.

Thanks "Unjaan" jee. You are right Bhai Kulbir Singh ji. A few other thoughts also came to mind after writing this article. When the Marathas launched their conquest of north India, they already had a kingdom, they had wealth, resources, a fully capable and maintained battle-trained army. Yet they lost so miserably to the Afghans at Panipat. The Sikhs did not have an official kingdom wheby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
*Posting at the Hukam of vadde veer Bhai Kulbir Singh ji* This article is not being written to demean or belittle any brave community.

This has come as a total shock. I wanted to meet him all my life and was always scared that I would miss the opportunity as his sareer was getting more and more birdh. But somehow, by Guru Sahib's kirpa I got a chance to meet him on Dec 24th, exactly 2 weeks before the day he did Akal Chalana. We were told he hasn't been able to speak clearly for some 2 years, and that he was 93, and communicatesby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Daas was blessed and met Bhai Sahib one week ago in Amritsar at his place on Dec. 24th. He was laying on his bed, and I am told he has not been able to speak clearly for about 2 years as he is 93 years old, very birdh. All I can say is that even at this age, his stare is exactly like that of a ferocious lion. He looks right into your eyes, and firmly.

Ok so I just got back from watching Chaar Sahibzaade. I must admit I am at a loss of words for this movie. The only thing I'd want to say about the makers is no one has any idea how many sins of their they possibly have had forgiven in Akal Purakh's dargah by hitting so many people's hearts with such a level of bairaag.

This is just an innocent question, but shouldn't we be celebrating Gurpurabs based on the calendar Guru Sahib has not just used but quoted even in His Banis? For example: bhaadrav sudhi ashtami ravivaara, teer satudrav granth sudhaara Here Guru Sahib gives the day of the week, name of month and also date of that month.
