I think If you are doing Bhagati for longer hours, say doing Naam Abhiyaas for 14-16 hours a day in one sitting then it is really helpful to support upper body to stay upright.by JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum
First Sareerak-Jaama (Body) meant to be Pehli Patshaahi Sri Guru Nanak Dev Jee. Guru-Jot is always alive and present, it just changed bodies from first Nanak to tenth to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee. When referring to Guru Nanak Dev Jee, sometimes we use term Pehla (first) Sareerak-Jaama (body).by JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum

According to Daas's meager understanding Dhan Sri Guru Teg Bahaadar Jee Maharaaj traveled through different places where they have given Updesh to Sangat. Sri Dasmesh Jee call those places as Teerths. Also It is very possible that when Guru Tegh Bahaadar Jee went to east, on their way they must have passed through various so-called Teeraths (Sri Dasmesh Jee call them ਭਾਂਤਿ ਭਾਂਤby JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum
It's good to see spread of Gurmat principles throughout the world. One of the Bujjer Kurehat is to not eat KUTHA i.e. committing meat eating. After recognizing Tobacco is injuries to health, now Americans are awakening that meat too is not healthy and should be eliminated from their diet. I came across a magazine called natural awakenings, has a short but good article that mentions how Americansby JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum

I watched for ten minutes or so and stopped. This pastor who happens to be an American is completely ignorant about Sikhs, one can conclude this even from his initial comments. His face tells that his lecture is out of fear and deep rooted problem that Christians are loosing ground in America. Percentage of followers of Christianity is dropping sharply.

There is nothing wrong to set a goal per day for doing Sri Japjee Sahib or any other paath. More Gurbani we read, more laha we get. After all Gurbani is Guru, if we listen more to our Guru then we can't be at loss. Just keep caution though, when you recite Gurbani make sure you listen too. If you find that mind ran away and paath reaches to end then skip backward where you had last listened thby JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Naam is Daroo i.e. Medicine. It doesn't matter what you think or where your mind was when medicine is taken, it shows it's effect regardless. However, important thing is to take strict 'precautions and regularity' to have the full effect of medicine. If your negativity (chintaa rog) is not going away then it tells two things: A - Not taking medicine, that is not doing Naam Abyiaas especiallby JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum
NS jio, In above Gurbaani Tuks, nor it say to do fast or slow, instead asks to do steadily or continuously. Think about this, some Singh's can do Sri Akhand Paath Sahib in 24hr or 30 or in 36 hours while others can do it in 48 or 56hrs. Does this mean Singhs who completed Paath in less than 48 hours has their seva went into vein because it was not in Sehaj? The point Daas tried to raisby JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum
All are excellent points except couple of references Daas couldn't understand well. 1) Why "Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Sahib Jee”, “Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Sahib”, “Dhan Siri Guru Granth Sahib Jee”, “Dhan Guru Dhan Guru Piaare” etc., are not acceptable to sing? 2) How Gurbaani Tuk “ਸਹਜੇ ਗਾਵਿਆ ਥਾਇ ਪਵੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਹਜੈ ਕਥਨੀ ਬਾਦਿby JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum

This is the great property of Sarabloh (tat of it) to be disolved in food being cooked or eaten from it.

This is what Daas could find, if some one has more from newspaper then please post. Talwara Jee also wrote a short article on incident that took place in Gurudwara Sahib Glen Rock New Jersey, where Kala Afghana spoke against Khade-de-Pahual to be called as Amrit Sanchaar and rejected three Bania of Amrit Sanchaar from Dasam Granth.

Tribune journalist S. Dalbir Singh is eyewitness of the people who opened fire on Singhs on April 13th, 1978.

BTW, it was Talwara jee and other Jatha Singhs because of whom he couldn't succeeded with his mischievous acts and eventually got excommunicated. Also before his excommunication, he was shown a real Sikhi spirit when arguments broke in a Gurudwara in New Jersey with Bibi Harsharan Kaur Jee. I was not present in this debate but spectators say Kala Afghana couldn't stick to ground before Bibi Jee.by JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I don't know about Spokesman articles; however, these were later published in series in 'Atam Rang' magazine. I don't have all editions but parts of it. It is quite interesting how easily Talwara Jee refute Mr. Kala Afghana's arguments. Mr. Afghana's arguments were completely jokes, in my opinion. He know nothing about Sikh mysticism. I am wondering how he got popular as a so called Sikh scholar.by JASJIT SINGH - Gurmat Discussion Forum
