Lohri is a cultural festival of Punjab and does not have anything to do with Sikhi; hence, it should not be celebrated in Gurdwara Sahibaan. Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
It was not appropriate for the Kirtani to start singing "Happy Birthday" while Kirtan was going on. These kids should be advised not to do so while Kirtan is going on. Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Amazing post! Indeed as far as emotional event is concerned, nothing matches the martyrdom of younger Sahibzade of Siri Guru Gobind Singh jee. Their sacrifice for Sikhi is of paramount importance in Sikhi because of their age and family background. The Sikhs just love the Sahibzaade and this has been the case from the beginning. Their Shaheedi was the single biggest factor in mobilizing tby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

In olden days, there used to be a very fine silk material manufactured in Dhaka (now in Bangladesh). It used to be so thin and fine that it used to fit in a box as small as a matchbox. Once Aurangzeb noticed that his daughter was wearing very transparent clothes. He was very upset at her for not wearing proper clothes. At this she said to her father that she was wearing 7 layers of clothes buby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Very good points for raising good Sikh kids. I don’t think the author intended to place the points in any order of importance but providing the kid with Sangat at early age is of utmost importance. Even if the kids don’t understand Gurbani, still the Paaras Kala of Gurbani does not fail ever.

You are right Sukhdeep Singh jee. I stand corrected. I thought you had written that he had actually done padchhed. As for the idea of Padchhed, Guru Sahib knows or Bhai Mani Singh. Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
QuoteEither way I dont think the story is not fabricated. Bhai Mani Singh Ji was a teacher of Gurmukhi. Im sure he probably at one time thought how he can teach Gurbani in a more easier way. But he did not act according to his own mat, he brought this idea up to sangat and it was rejected and he did not break Gurbani in the sense of padd chhed, but did feel guilty of thinking about it. He later bby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
QuoteMuch before Trump the first person to come up with the idea of padd chhed was naam rasia gurmukh Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Ji. The panth scolded him for this idea and later he accepted the punishment of being chopped from piece to piece as he did so to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Please provide historical evidence that Bhai Mani Singh jee came up with the idea of Padchhed. Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Quote'The Guru believes in one God. His followers put not their faith in idol-worship. They never pray or practice austerities like the Hindus.

Mohsin Fani’s writings should be taken with a grain of salt because he was not a theologian nor a trained historian. He just wrote what he was told by people he met. He most likely met Sikhs who were not strict in Rehit and not well versed in the Sikh scriptures. In those days, a vast majority of people (Sikhs or non Sikhs) were totally uneducated, as such their opinions about Sikhi can't beby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

There has been a debate on evolution before, on this site. Please refer to these links: Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
The below is based on my old posts: I read the theory of evolution many years ago and one of the notion it preaches is that species can evolute to higher species e.g. humans have originated from apes. This theory does not seem to be according to Gurmat because all the 8.4 million life forms were formed at once and not through evolution. Some life forms may be active and some dormant, at a giveby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

As long as the utensils are made of Sarbloh, it does not matter if they are handmade or machine-made. Sometimes machine-made utensils are actually better than handmade. Sarbloh pateelay that are handmade are welded at the base and at the side. This results in some difficulty when cleaning the pateelay. We in Canada have been able to make Sarbloh pateelay that are totally one-piece, so it's easby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
