Bhai Sahib, this thread really hit me hard. I'm now beginng to realize the damage that will be coming with Sant Samaj giving power. It' possible that they will even suggest passing mandates that make Rag Mala mandatory, thus shuning many people away from the panth. However, I am sure that Guru Sahib is planning another Singh Sabha type movement for the panth. Another Bhai Randhir Singh type figurby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Just anther sign of Kaljug getting worse. I'm not sure the NDP can replace a figure like Jack Layton, and this only means that Canada will stay conservative, under the power of Bush Jr (Steven Harper).

My memory is a little foggy on this story because I heard it so long ago, but I will try my best to re-narrate it. Jasbir Singh Chandigarh, narrated a story at last years smagam, that was told to him by a Bibi who was related to Akali Kaur Singh and stayed with him for some time. Some Bibian had asked Akali Kaur Singh to set up an amrit sinchar for them. Akali Kaur Singh responded that the bby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Once, a famous Sant was visiting a Guruduwara. The Sant's chela had set up a special layout on the stage for him to sit on. When the chela turned around, Akali Kaur Singh got up and removed the gaddi. The chela came back, and picked it up again, and put it on the stage. Finally the Chela saw what Akali Kaur Singh had done. Akali Kaur Singh told him that that no one should be treated special in thby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ਣ (Adjective) Now that the rules for a singular male noun with an aunkaR are complete, let us discuss the use of the aunkaR on a ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ਣ (Adjective) The same rule for a noun applies to the adjective.

ਲੁਪਤ ਸਬੰਧਕ Sometimes there is a ਲੁਪਤ ਸਬੰਧਕ (hidden preposition) in a line. This means that the preposition exists in the tukh however, it cannot be seen.

Upkaar Singh Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > panch parvaan > panch pardhaan Bhai Upkaar Singh, I believe the more proper arth for that Gurbani Tukh would have panch to mean gurmukh/sant and not 5.

Condition 2) If the singular male noun contains a ਸੰਬੋਧਨ phrase, then the aunkaR is taken away. Sanbodhan= avaz marni (calling somebody) Examples: ਭਾਈ ਰੇ, ਰਾਮੁ ਕਹਹੁ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇ ਬਾਵਰੇ, ਤੈ ਗਿਆਨ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਏ ਮਨ ਮੇਰਿਆ When there is a ਸੰਬੋਧਨ word, the aunkaR goby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Currently, in the panth, there are many different styles of Gurbani ucharan. Within each of these schools of thought, there are also many differences, but the two main major differences are related to whether laga-mantra’s should be pronounced or not. Studying Gurbani viyakaran, it becomes clear that lagan-mantra’s at the end of words are often there for grammatical purpose and don’t needby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Well, It's hard to trust any one these days. 99% of the Panth reads mangal's incorrectly because they have duped by the "panth" into thinking the way they are present in printed saroops is accurate. This decision itself was made without panthic input, or input from scholars, rather only a few Singhs from certain Samparda's thought they should make a collective decision for the panth.

Yes, bindian are very important indeed. Without inserting a bindi on many words the meanings change drastically. For example, the line ਭਰੀਐ ਮਤਿ ਪਾਪਾ ਕੈ ਸੰਗਿ. If we do not nasalize at ਪਾਪਾ, then the meaning becomes Father, instead of Paap's(sins), which makes no sense at all.

I'm not sure what these are, but any social service by the government is allowed since we pay for them through taxes. That is why we shouldn't lie on their tax returns.

Oddly enough, I remember a time where I had no interest in Sikhi whatsoever. I would rarely discuss it with anyone. When i started going to school I met another Singh friend, who was basically like me, barely cared about Sikhi. Anytime we met though, for some reason we couldn't discuss anything except Sikhi. It was strange, bringing up a worldy topic would just be weird. Yet anytime another Gursiby GurmanSingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
