I'm not sure how allowing more immigrants would increase racism, its conservative racists who are against immigration. Immigration leads to more diversity, and less racism in turn. You are right, there are hate groups here as well, but not to the extent in the United States. I have a job where i have to interact with many different everyday, and i do while in Bana.

Daas mentioned before this story in a debate about what types of food we can eat. It's clear that many Sakhi's show how singhs used to prepare sweets for sangat. The following is a passage from the book "Episodes in the lives of the Guru's" KEY TO HAPPINESS Once Mata ji developed some physical ailment. When the Guru came for his meals, she prayed, "O True Emperor, I have suffered much pain.by GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Why can you expect? There is nothing new about this, Western Media is a JOKE. All the major stations are bought by corporations, and only feed to the people what they feel is important or anything that will benefit them. For example, MANY of the news corporations are partly owned by DEFENSE contractors. These contractors make money by going to war, and for this reason love to frighten the people,by GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Today after Amritvela, Singhs were discussing the number of white supremacists in North America. This does not seem like a very common trend in Canada, as the people here are much more liberal than in the states. But this trend is one that is on the increase in the United States. Soon we will see these hate crimes increase, and Singh's need to get prepared for any future incident. The following iby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Gurbani is filled with proves for the existence of Vyakaran, over and over. Anyway who denies it is either grossly misinformed, or just ignorant. In terms of particular shabads, there are a few that particularly stick out.

For sure, the two books that have most influenced Gursikhs in the West have been Se Keniya and Jail Chiitian. What is to say about the jeevan's of these two gems. Unfortunately, there is no way of telling anyone's true avastha. There is no "Sant-o-meter" where we can just turn on and figure out the Kamyaiee of any individual. That's why when we reading the jeevan about anyone, we should be aby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
One thing that should be noted is that the concept of time does exist in Sikhi. There is no limit to how fast the Surti works and can concentrate on NAAM/Bani. One example is when Guru Nanak put his hand on the Pir's head in Baghdad, and showed him many mandals in the blink of an eye. Also in Sukhmani Sahib, Guru Sahib states..."ਨਿਮਖ ਮਾਹਿ ਚਾਰਿ ਕੁੰਟ ਫਿਰਿ ਆby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

If Pootna Got Mukhti from trying to poison Sri Krishan, then one can only imagine how far Babar, Jahangir, Aurenzeb etc must have gotten from having the sight of Guru Sahib! Even though they did horrendous acts against Guru Sahib and Gursikhs, just the fact they knew Guru Sahib, and were able to get his Darshan, and even have conflict with Guru Sahib was a tremendously good Karam.

Another thing, the term "eating from bibeki's who eat from bibeki's," is very misleading. This causes people to think that Bibek is something complicated and we have to check the background of everyone we eat from to see if they "eat from bibeki's, who eat from bibeki's who eat from bibeki's" and so on. In reality, A bibeki is only that person who eats from Bibeki's. If he does not follow thaby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Gulab Jaman and Kheer are the same thing basically, they both contain LOTS of Sugar, and are fattening, which is why I'm guessing many people think it is taboo. I read in a Sakhi that for Guru Har Rai's Sahib Ji's wedding Gulab Jaman and other sweets were distributed but i cannot seem to find it. I'm pretty sure it was in the book "Episodes From lives of The Guru's" Will post when i find.by GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
You definetly know it's bad times when Manmukhs would rather have their kids 1) wear revealing clothes rather than bana 2) Spend more time on studies and less on patt 3) Eat Poisonous food from outside, rather cooking their own food from natural ingredients The list goes on...by GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Bhai Sukhdheep Singh a few comments/questions at first you said that Marayada states that we should only eat from Sarblohiees, but later on in the very same post, and in previous posts have said that this practice of 'seclusion' should be avoided. What is your stance? And another note, History proves that sweets like glabjaman and other things were made by Singhs and distributed in langar.by GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Amazing videos, Daas almost finished watching these and learned most basic Viyakaran from these videos. He is very good at explaining. Viyakaran is very simple to learn, but implying it is hard, especially if you are not well read in Punjabi.by GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Great Thoughts, a Gurmukh treats both Dukh and Sukh alike. He does not see a difference in the two. But I think instead of the word "happy" here, it would better fit to say "contentment" (santokh). Contentment is what everyone strives for, as Guru Sahib states " ਬਿਨਾ ਸੰਤੋਖ, ਨਹੀ ਕੋਊ ਰਾਜੈ." Nobody is fulfilled without contentment. It is what the whole world stby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Toronto has become the first city in North America to allow the Kirpan in courthouses. I'm glad that our Kirpan rights have progressed rather than regressed, because i assumed with all the drama over the past few years, Courts would have gone in the wrong direction, and done more to approve policies against the Kirpan.

The only time one should starve themselves is when there is no bibeki food available to eat, or no way of washing one's hands before eating. Other than that, there is no need to inflict pain on the body to increase one's desire to do bhagti. This only harms the body in the long run, and you might feel like it helps for a little while, but after time it has a damaging toll on the body. An elderlyby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
4. There are keywords in these texts like “Swaya”, “Dohara”, “Chaupai”. These are all poetic styles that have been around before Guru Sahib's time. For example, the "Hanuman Chalisa," is a popular Hindu poem about Hanuman written in the Chaupai format.by GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
