I think Peshi is good idea even if no bujjar kurehits have been committed in this case. To take advice of 5 Pyare would be invaluable in this situation, seeing as you are not able to have Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee come to the house to have Akhand Paath or Kirtan Smagam. If it helps, I personally do believe everything you have written on these topics. These things can happen.by Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Leafy jee, when you shared all these and similar occurrences with us last time, the Gursikhs gave suggestions of holding tyaar-bar-tyaar Akhand Paath, Kirtan Smagam, or otherwise doing paath from LaRivaar and doing Ardaas. Have you tried any of these suggestions to clear your problems?by Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
ATTENTION ADMIN SAHIB Please could you write this saakhi up for the sangat? I think it would be great addition to this thread, and it shows even the topmost Gurmukhs like Bhai Sahib Gurdaas Jee can get put in difficult situation: I would not mind to have a go, but the translations on the STTM do not seem accurate.

That is not correct Chatrik Veer Jee, it is not a "note", it is part of the Bani, and most definitely must be read, as mentioned in the earlier post as well. That is my opinion at least. Rest, the knowledgeable Gursikhs can clarify.by Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Bhai Kulbir Singh Jee, It's not just Baba Jee, but Bhai Sahib Jeevan Singh Jee also recommends to do this at start and end of nitnem, and in fact other tasks too. Many elder Gursikhs in AKJ who have done lot of sangat with Bhai Sahib from their prime times in the parchaar of the 1970-90s also do this. However as we know, Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Jee has not mentioned this anywhere in theirby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Veer Jee, If you go to "Gurmat Pustak Bhandhaar" aka The Taksali Shop Chownk Ghanta Ghar Market right opposite Sri Harmandar Sahib you will be able to buy LaRivaar Senchis and Gutka Sahibs. Senchis come in 2 sizes, I recommend the bigger size, they are very nicely decorated, bound, and printed. Pad-Ched ones have a matte finish, and the LaRivaar ones have shiny stars on, so be sure to get tby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Veer Jee, this salok this present both at the start and end of Sri Baavan Akhri. When it occurs first at the start of the Bani "eh salok aad ant paRna" does not appear. The second time it appears at the end of the Bani "eh salok aad ant paRna" does appear. It is a part of the Gurbani, just like the rest of the salok and should not be omitted from recitation. For example many Gursikhs might omit "by Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Dear Bhai Jee, The reason I wrote divine light, because it is not a normal light like a bulb, torch, or flame, but God's own light. Please have a look at the dictionary definition for further reference: Quotehttp://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary SGGS Gurmukhi-Gurmukhi Dictionary ਜੋਤਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ, ਜੋਇਆ ਹੋਇਆ। ਉਦਾਹਰਣ: ਆਠ ਪਹਰby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
No jee. "Har" means God in the pangtee. Jot means divine light, difficult to translate into English. The meaning of the pangtee is "God put his light into you, do not see anyone except God" (because that same light is in everyone)by Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
You know, we don't get to choose our parents, siblings, rest of family. Vaheguru Jee sends us to certain family because of our previous karams. Right? We don't have the opportunity to go and search who will be our best mum and dad, brothers and sisters etc but for the most part, we still have familial love for them.

Veer Jee, please read the shabads over in this thread that Bhai Mehtab Singh Jee shared with us, and realise, whatever is happening to you, its because of your own doing. I think this is one of the hardest things to realise, but if we could see the karams we had done in previous lives, we wouldn’t ever complain. This may sound harsh, but I think this is the only way you can come to peace with tby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Bhai HS1NGH jee I appreciate the points you are trying to make. QuoteHS1NGHNot escape like yogis did. Is avoiding socialising with non-believers just another form of escaping the world?

I agree with kaurs4 jee. Gulati quality has really gone down in last few years, I personally have not been to them, but many local Singhs have complained about buttons sewed on teDe, pockets uneven, different length sleeves, low quality stitching etc etc Try and find a local tailor who is not that famous, but has experience making cholas, if you go to some Nihung Gurdwara Sahibs they often havby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
This nilaak is expert in nindiya and chugli, so I will try and give definition: Nindiya (slander) = Making up allegations, false accusations, rumours etc about people and then spreading them with malicious intent to do harm to their reputation Chugli (gossip) = Mindless chatter about certain events or occurrences in other people's lives that do not involve or affect us.

I was amazed by Bhai Harsh Singh Jee's post. This is so true. Bhai Sahib Trust in Ludhiana is an institution that publishes and sells books (among other things), so obviously it is appropriate for them to have a logo just like all companies and publishing houses have.

Veer Jee, I think traditionally agan bhet and other left overs for example Langar, Degh, or fallen out Kesh, old Keskis, broken Kanghas etc etc after going through the appropriate maryada, Gursikhs usually dispose of it in running water. Same goes for phull after Antam Sanskaar, traditionally in running water. However there are some cases from last century or so where Gursikhs have buried spare lby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Khalsa jee, one thing I have been told by several elder Gursikhs, when we do charcha we lose a lot. Especially on the Internet, we can't read the tone and attitude of typed text, so sometimes it's better to discuss complex issues face to face. Too many things get out of context or off topic. Perhaps on the computer someone's posts may be seen as rude, argumentative, egotistical etc but if iby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Vaheguru.

I have also heard similar Sakhi to the one Bhai Mehtab Singh Jee has shared with us, it is from a book called "Episodes from lives of the Gurus" which is a translation of Parchian Sevadas by Karak Singh and Gurtej Singh, available to read here: QuoteEPISODES FROM LIVES OF THE GURUS, p. 34 ANOTHER STORY FOLLOWS Episode No. 20 CONVERSION IS VOLUNTARY One day when the Guru was presiding oby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Kaurs4 jee, I also don't think it is proper to use laptop, phone, or PDA mounted on the vaja to do read shabds and do Kirtan. Many Singhs, most famously Bhai Atma Singh Jee Panjokhra Sahib, are strongly against even using Pothi on Vaja as well, as they say beadbi occurs. However, as we can see from this photo below, Pothi was used in Bhai Sahib's times on the vaja, so let us not get overlyby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Quotems514the transgressor shall not be liable to punishment Bhai Sahib jee, that is referring to punishment of tankhaa i.e. intentional Bujar Kurehitis who pesh in front of Panj Pyare receive fitting punishment.

In this case the bhujangi has not done it on purpose and did not commit himself, but he stilby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I personally am not a supporter of doing Paath from these type of electronic devices on the go, it doesn't seem right. It's best to do Paath from memory or wait until opportunity to get freshened and cleaned up (panj ishnaan) to use Gutka Sahib. Many old school Singhs have the same view, but I guess with all these "modern" iPhone facebook msn generation it is quite common. Remember jee, this techby Jaskirat Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
