If they did it out of hatred for sikhs sikhi then the word used should be 'fanatics' or something synonymous, 'racist' does not fit here, because even in Punjab Sikhi is not confined to one particular race, jats or others.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I cannot say for the bunga style but for the common punjabi style turban receding hair line is very common. It happens not because of tight joorha at all. It is a simple result of turban folds pushing back and putting pressure from front towards back of the head.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Another argument is based upon Satvic, Rajsic and Tamasic diets. Sattvic foods are those that promote sattva element in mind and body. Eggs are rajasic.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Not that Modi does not have his past to answer to, BUT, Arundhati Roy was just a fashionable/socialite writer who luckily shot to limelight because one of her novels became hit. She is not a very good source for getting to know internal affairs of India. Just saying.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Sometimes there are calls which inform you you have won something. two years ago I got a few of these calls. I could clearly tell the guy was a desi. ਮੈਂ ਕੱਚੇ ਲਾਹ ਲਿਆ , ਚੰਗੀਆਂ ਰਸ ਭਰ ਭਰ ਕੇ ਸੁਣਾਈਆਂ. ਹਾ ਹਾ. ਫੇਰ ਕਦੀ ਨੀ ਆਇਆ ਫੋਨ. My advice is: ਘਬਰਾਓ ਨਾ , ਸਗੋਂ ਉਲਟਾby eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum

The pronunciation can be 'sh' in both cases. In hindi the word 'Shram-daan' is often used and it means voluntary labour. Shram means mehnat. Its the same word used as Saram in Gurbani.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Ancient Yoga philosophy prescribes four spiritual paths to attain knowledge of the Self: karma-yoga, the path of selfless action; bhakti-yoga, the path of devotion; raja-yoga, the path of concentration and meditation; and jnana-yoga, the path of knowledge and discrimination.

Great idea. Just one thought. I dont think baba deep singj ji's detached head is a good idea. There is a danger od beadbi. For the same reason I suggest that no figurines of real historical Sikh person alities should be created.by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum

We need to understand that usage of western calendar started due to historical reasons of British rule over India. And people looking up desi dates in western calendar has never been a problem for the last 100 years or so. The conversion is done by the people who are in this line and dates for the year are printed in a jantri which is commonly available in Punjab and nobody ever had a problem finby eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
But first it should be clear as to why we should stick or why we should switch. I think this case is similar to other cases in which we want to maintain originality , traditionality and historicity. If we say that we should switch because the bikrami mahiney shall no longer remain in sync with geographical mahiney in coming couple of centuries then logical question is can this not be fixed byby eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
On purewal.com there are articles explaining his position on desi months. The arguments seem knowledgable. But if anybody has links on opposing arguments please post them so we can become informed on them. At any rate the only main argument is that the desi months of bikrami calendar shall shift over centuries. But a simple answer is that after say a 100 years the cslendar can be adjusted.

Following lunar calendar does not mean following hindu dharm. There is Hindu dharam and there is Sanatan dharma. Just because Sikhs have a separate identity , it does not mean they need to distance themselves from lunar calendar. What about Baramahas then? All the desi months are from lunar calendar, what about them?by eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum

I have a small question for understanding how the totals run in the compilation scheme of SGGS ji.

The running total is written as: ॥੮॥੧੭॥੮॥੨੫॥ 17 + 8=25 are total Ashtpadees uptil now. 8 Ashtpadis of Guru Amardass ji. What does the number 17 signify?

I personally find it best to interpret Gurbani in an uncompromising way. When Gurbani says that Naam/Bhagti automatically removes diseases, I would interpret it exactly like this. It also makes sense, if one thinks of it. Human body has been praised because Naam resides in it. And it seems apt that diseases leave and are not able to enter the body. I would guess that when mind centres in itby eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Preetam Singh ji, Thank you for your post. I agree with your view that mahapurakhs do not feel any bodily dukkha in their minds, therefore even if disease is there, they are not really affected by it. I also find it very agreeable that mahapurakhs might contract or even invite disease upon themselves so that they can teach us to how to remain in bhaana. Ks ji, I do not wish to argue witby eyesacademic - Gurmat Discussion Forum
