The desperation in your post is very touching. Be assured, Guru Sahib is not deaf to your pain. Don't give up! While treading on the path of Gurmat, many obstacles are encountered but our reaction to these tests is what gives us khushi of Guru Sahib. It is very commendable that at such a young age and in such hard circumstances you are trying to keep Rehit and follow Gurmat. You are for suby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Taking Amrit and getting Naam Drirh is a bakhshish from Guru Sahib. When Guru Sahib wills, then we are able to get Naam. Therefore I would urge you to do as much Abhiyaas of Bani as you can and do Ardaas to Guru Sahib to bless you with Naam di Daat. By contacting local sevadaars you can find out when the next Amritsanchar is and then all you have to do it to convince your parents to either cby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Harsh jee has given a very fitting response. The only way to learn the technique of Naam Abhiyaas is to get take Amrit at an Amritsanchar where the Panj Pyare give Naam Drirh. At present, only Akhand Keertani Jatha organizes Amritsanchars where the technique of Naam Abhiyaas is taught and Naam is properly imparted to the aspirant.by Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
QuotePlease explain further on this..I'm curious. Bubble gum jeeo, It is a known thing that Shaheed Singhs are in this world to protect Gursikhs and Gurdhaams. Every historical Gurdwara has presence of Shaheed Singhs there to protect it and for the Shaheed Singhs themselves to get laha. I'm sure you've felt the difference of going to Darbar Sahib and just going to any Gurdwara. There areby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
It is very important to change things up a lot. Guru Sahib has given us many different weapons to fight with this mugadh mann. Bhagti should never be dull and for true progess to happen, you have to be enjoying bhagti. When you get tired of japping Naam, do some Keertan, if you are tired of that do some Paath. You can go slow, fast, loud, or in surti. You can do bhagti standing, sitting, rby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Best thing to make is Karha, especially if you do not have access to milk. Papeeta is the best survival fruit though. Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh ate one a day for a very long time in jail and was able to sustain himself on just that and Naam.by Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Rajo gun - Wanting raj bhag and worldly success. These aren't outright bad actions because they don't hurt others, but they are still stuck in maya. Tamo gun - Committing atrocities and being cruel. This is a very paapi way to live and will lead someone to narak and further from Gursikhi. Sato gun - Doing good deeds like charity and helping others. This is very good karam, but is still paby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Trai-guni aprampar karam is any deed that is above the three gunns of rajo tamo and sato. Things like reciting Naam, Keertan, Gurbani Paath and Sevaa of Guru Sahib's Darbar. Namely Degh Seva, Langar Seva, Chaur Sahib Seva, ect. These are all ways to get khushi of Guru Sahib.by Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Shaheed jeeo, That is a very good idea to have Keertan playing rather than the audio is there now. The Singh who was in charge of making the video made it with this audio and I guess we just didn't realize that we should have Keertan instead. We will try to make the changes and reupload it. You are more than welcome to upload it yourself as well. We allowed people to take the Dastaarsby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
The reason why Sikhism is not an acceptable term to use is because using the term ism is a product of Imperialism. Why is it not Christism? or Jewism? Why is it that ism's are predominantly used for eastern religions? It is only my personal belief, but I do think that we should push for the term Sikhi to be used, because it just sounds so much better than Sikhism.

With Guru Sahib's kirpa, I was given the chance to speak with reporters about the Dastar and Sikhi, for the upcoming Sikh Awareness Day at Guelph University and it was a very good experience. I had made it a point to use the word Dastar rather than turban and Sikhi rather than Sikhism. When I said these words the reporter asked me what they meant and I was able to explain why I chose those wordby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Bhai Sahib jee, Just because no one has answered the question yet, does not mean that no one has an answer. There could be many reasons why no one has had time to reply yet, and it is not wise for you to show this much attitude. When asking questions we should remain humble and be patient. You could have very easily just asked again and bumped the thread. Your attitude just makes me notby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Vaheguru! That Bachee is so adorable. I was just thinking that you can't even tell that these Singhs are from any "low caste" because they just look like Khalsa. What an amazing thing that Guru Sahib has done that by taking Amrit, all jaat paat is erased and all become Khalsa brothers and sisters. Guru Sahib is dhan!by Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

I think the second Pankti is also saying that while we are doing Naam Abhiyaas with our mouths, but we have any furna other than of Vaheguru in our mann, then we will not reap rewards that we are looking for. We must have full focus on only Vaheguru while doing Abhiyaas to truly entice Vaheguru with our love. It would be great if Bhai Sahib could answer this question.by Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I think in the first Pankti Sheikh Farid jee is saying that those who have love for Vaheguru that is from their heart, and not just superficial love, are true lovers of Vaheguru. In the second Pankti Sheik Farid jee is saying that those who have one thing in their mind and utter something else from their mouth are only superficial lovers and are proven to be kache.

What I have found with personal experience is that whenever there is a day I will get to do a lot of Paath it becomes easy to wake up the next day. Almost automatically Guru Sahib wakes you up and makes you Jap Naam with incredible focus. Making our daily Nitnem include more Banian and a certain amount of daytime Abhiyaas as well helps a lot in increasing our love and utshah. Being able toby Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Sevak123 jeeo, It seems that you are not able to understand what Bhai Inder Singh jee is saying. Basically, your point of there not being a full moon at the same time every month is due to you following solar calendar as your base. According to lunar calendar, the full moon is at the same time every month. Therefore in the lunar calendar Gurpurbs will be exactly same dates.

Great response by Bhai Kulbir Singh jee. The author of that post has probably never spoken with Sarblohi Singhs about Sarbloh Bibek and does not seem like he wants to understand why Gursikhs keep this rehit. This post is just a show of their pure hatred towards Sarbloh and total ignorance of Gurmat. I would like to address Sarvan Singh's point about the milk not being from a Sarblohi cow.by Preetam Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
