Recently we have all heard about the massacre that was recently rediscovered in Haryana and you can read more about it on this link: This massacre also shows to us how important it is that Sikhs be Tyar bar Tyar all the time. Sikhs should be trained in some form of martial arts from childhood like puraatan Singhs were. That is why we never hear of Sikhs of puraatan times being victims of rioby keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum
The village where this attack occurred, there are currently two abandoned Sikh houses and a Gurdwara which are in ruins. I think that Sikh organizations should preserve these structures exactly the way they are today and not repair them. That way future Sikh generations can visit these ruins and remember what happened in 1984, since the government has repaired everything else relating to 1984 soby keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Umkeo jee, trying perfectly tied Dastars is not manmat, in fact I would say it is a Nishanee of being Tyar bar tyar. What's the use of tying Dhilee, unkept dastar that can be knocked off when getting into a Pangaa with someone? All Sikhs should strive towards tying beautiful, tight Dasatars.by keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum
‘It was height of brutality’ Rajay Deep Tribune News Service Bathinda, February 21 “The pain in my arm and the head due to the lathi blows rained by the rioters reminds me of the bloodshed and arson that took place on November 2, 1984,” said 70-year-old Jaswant Kaur, who survived the anti-Sikh massacre at Hond Chillar village in Rewari district of Haryana.

I think this is shocking! Not too long ago Punjab was ahead of Haryana in all aspects whether it was sports, military, economy, physical fitness. Now Haryana is ahead in sports, military and physical fitness! can you believe it? Even it's economy is booming and is probably ahead of Punjab's if not almost the same. If fact, it is expected that because of the low birth rates amongst Sikhs of Punjabby keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Drugs dent macho image of Punjabi men Aman Sood Tribune News Service Patiala, February 21 Not too long ago, robustness used to be synonymous with Punjabi males.

I once heard a Kathakar during a Katha talking about the honesty of puraatan Singhs. He said that puraatan Singhs were so honest that during battles if an enemy soldier asked a Singh where is the Sikh army's weakest defense, the Sikhs would truthfully say it. To me this seems irrational.by keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Today when in my car, I was listening to Indian radio shows which are mostly run by people of Sikh background. It really annoys me to see how they all call Bhagat Ravi Das Jee as Sri Guru Ravi Das Jee. Why do they do this? for those who believe in Satguru Nanak Dev Jee how can they think of any of the Bhagats as "SatGuru", this is blasphemy because the Bhagats have their own status within Sikhi wby keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Once a you find out the historical background of Valantine's day, and you see Sikhs celebrating it, it really makes me nod my head in disbelief.

Sometimes these types of things can make a person much closer to Guru Jee than under normal circumstances. Doing Simran or Paath is the best way to keep the negative entities out. Before sleeping, before or after doing Kirtan Sohila (and Rakhya de shabd) it is recommended to do a few Malas of Simran (or 15-20 minutes).by keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I've also heard that dogs can see spirits which we cannot see with the human eye. I think that animals like dogs do have a 6th sense for these types of things. In India, when someone is near death the dogs in the neighborhood start to cry out loud. Some people say they do this because they can see Jamdoots arriving.by keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum

During olden times when sroops were written, gursikhs also made their own ink. Over time they wrote this ink recipe at the end of SGGSJ which many assumed was Gurbani, but later this bani was removed. Does anyone have Shiyahi di vidhi bani, or atleast the ink recipe it contained. I think it would be interesting to make ones own ink like puraatan times and write Gurbani using that ink.by keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Tarek Fatah seemed like a sensationalist, he does the same thing to his own community: the Muslims. His arguments were not based on full facts, only half truths. He seems like a fanatical secularist who is against public display of one's religion. I think he belongs in Europe where such ideas are catching popularity instead of a traditionally accepting multicultural country like Canada. Micheby keodn - Gurmat Discussion Forum
