Suthra Singh, It's sad that you are not answering the questions asked repeatedly. QuoteYou are the onky one making the claim that Gurbani makes such claims but still havent given one pangti which Guru Sahib explains the physical creation. The quote you mentioned merely states Karta Purakh is the creator of the different forms of creation spoken in vernacular (not in scientific language)by Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
QuotePlease provide one pangti in which Guru Sahib gives an explanation ( not reference) of the physical creation. The Pankiti I quoted very clearly mentions that the 4 Khaanis are "Prabh ki Kirat". This proves that it's a fact. It does not matter what Andaj, Jeraj, Setaj and Utpaj means in detail. All we know is that Guru Sahib has mentioned these 4 Khaanis and have not rejected them as Heby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Suthra Singh, QuoteGurbani is based in truth its not based on creation theories of Manu or other religions. Without jumping to name calling ( missionary, athiest) kindly explain where acceptance of 4 modes of creation is a hukum and not a hindu reference. ਅੰਡਜ ਜੇਰਜ ਸੇਤਜ ਉਤਭੁਜਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਇਹ ਕਿਰਤਿ ॥ The above Pankiti clearly sayby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Suthra Singh, Looks like you have not seen the video carefully. The video does not say anywhere that science claims anything about aliens. It was mentioned in the beginning that many people believe so based on science fiction films. A lot of Sikhs also believe that aliens come to our world. This video was done to debunk such claims. That's all. Gurmat believes that there are people in oby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Mahaant means Gurmukh of his Avastha. The Pankiti means that Gopal Vaheguru appears on the forehead of Gurmukh. Since this Pauri of Siri Sukhmani Sahib talks about greatness of Siri Sukhmani Sahib, one of the quality of Mahaant is that he or she does Paath of Siri Sukhmani Sahib regularly everyday.

QuoteAlso, if there was one suggestion that I can give it would be not to go off topic as in the Sanskrit comparison. Guru Nanak Sahib's bani is the ultimate truth; rest is all partial truth; however Guru Sahib himself never belittled anything in the creation. Why should we as his sikhs seek to belittle something that may be dear to some parts of his creation? The reason the Sanskrit letters weby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Excellent thoughts. Here is more on this: How Karma affects different kinds of Sikhs Bhai Moola, Bhai Sooja, Bhai Chandu, Bhai Raamdaas Bhandaari, Bhai Baala and Bhai Sayeen Daas came to Siri Guru Arjun Dev jee Maharaj and asked a very important and pertinent question about way the system of Karma works in Sikhi.

Please read my comments in the previous post: > > It was only Siri Guru Nanak Dev jee who accorded > the same status to women as men. Before that, all > religions and cultures treated women badly. > All major religions and cultures except Sikhi, have similar things to say about women. Why are you singling out Chanakya? Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
What is the point of this post? What does Sikhi have to do with Chanakya's views on women? Such views on women can be found in all ancient texts e.g. Semitic religions (Bible, Quran etc.), Vedic literature, Buddhist literature, Jain texts, and even in ancient Greek texts. Chanakya is not saying anything that is not said by other ancient texts. Why are you singling out Chanakya? You can find sby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Quote Indians consider Chanakya to be a great administrator and one of the wisest man to have ever born. They treat him as their Wisdom Guru. In his book, Chanakya Niti, (Chapter 07, couplet no.12), Chanakya says "Do not be very upright in your dealings for you would see by going to the forest that straight trees are cut down while crooked ones are left standing."

Quote(1.) Hindus have never been united, and one of the many reasons for this is that they don’t really have what we may want to call as a singular religion.

QuoteThe people who think its okay for a Sikh and non-Sikh to get married at a Gurduara really need to understand the meaning of Laavaan.

Excellent topic Gurman Singh. Taking lead from your post, here are some worldly benefits that came to my mind: Some of the worldly reasons or benefits of becoming a Gursikh are as follows for me: 1) Food: The food that a Gursikh eats is about as pure as food can get. Gursikhs are Bibeki as per Hukam of Guru Sahib; therefore they have to prepare their own food using basic raw materials. Tby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Excellent article Bhai Mehtab Singh jee! As you have mentioned, greatness does not lie in being brave and valorous alone because what matters more is how the valour and martial spirit are used. Arguably one can say that ones who plundered and looted countries e.g. Genghis Khan, Timur the lane, Nadir Shah etc. were brave but their bravery and valour was evil. On the other hand, the valour aby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
