VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Gurmukh couples support each other in their Sikhi, so if one partner keeps Sarbloh Rehit, it will very likely inspire the other to do so as well. Why wait? You are only establishing good Rehat that the life partner will adopt.by ms514 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Whatever the authenticity issues may be, it is definitely a very prominent scripture in Sikh history and should be digitized ASAP. Our history disappears daily, so the more digital versions, the better. Tomorrow it may not be in existence...as is the Will of Akaal Purakh.by ms514 - Gurmat Discussion Forum

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Let me declare my intention at the outset: I post to clarify or provide a counterpoint because such forums are read by many people across the world. One thing I have learned - you can fix yourself and yourself only unless you are a Brahm-Gyani.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH The procedure of Amrit Sanchar - especially the actual procedure of the creation of Amrit by the Punj Pyare (Bir Aasan, Banian, Khanda, Bataa, etc.) - has passed on from 1699 to present with relatively good consistency. Somehow, it would be highly doubtful that such a critical component such as an entire Bani would be eliminated, especially one thatby ms514 - Gurmat Discussion Forum

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Interesting...the local multi-faith group here essentially established a rule that one could explain about their faith, but could not make statements against any other faith (saying that other religious paths are wrong would fall into that category I assume). Do understand that every faith is going to say the same: Ours is the best/only path to salby ms514 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Going to any Gurudwara - how can that be considered bad? Bhai Vir Singh was a key figure in re-discovering Hemkunt Sahib. Also, 52 Hukams of Dasam Patshah state that a Sikh should do tiraths of Gurudwarae only (not as a ritual, but as a means to join Sangat and do kamai - the actual intent of tiraths).

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Well, please petition the Akaal Takht Sahib to modify the Rehat to make all of the Rehats you think are essential to a Gursikh mandatory. Seriously, these posts here go on with no end in sight and it is the same people talking to each other. Are you trying to convince yourselves or others? If its others, please take it to the Panthic platform.by ms514 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Somewhat related is the chapter titled "Apparent Contradictions in Gurbani" (Chapter 17), starting on page 165 of the following book - Bandginama: The chapter provides an insight into the concepts of having to DO things - Simran, Paath, Keeping Rehat "vs." Akaal Purakh does everything. Perhaps it will provide some clarification.by ms514 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH In reference to Bhai Jaskirat Singh's katha - perhaps someone can relay this with more detail - names and locations - it is from Suraj Parkash as narrated by a Gursikh to me. It is from memory, so there may be inconsistencies. The katha may be in relation to a Muslim who became a mercenary in Dasam Patshah's army.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Correct Jio, Gurmukhi is the font/lipi, Punjabi is a language. I try to stay away from calling Gurbani as written Punjabi because there are a lot of languages in Gurbani (including Punjabi).by ms514 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
