I don't know yaar, this whole Satan concept an alternative negative counter weight to Vaheguru seems very Radhasoamish to me where they also beleive in an entity called Kaal who "makes" you do anything evil. I don't think Kaliyug something that is evil. It is a time period where the whole world is engulfed in evil. But in our spriptures Kaliyug is also considered the greatest yug because the Gby rsingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Thanks Kulbir Singh Jee for the information about Sidhs and Naath Yogis. When Guru Nanak Dev Jee did veechar with the Sidhs in Sidh Gosht, was Gorakh Naath not there? I always thought he and his Guru were part of the Sidh Mandli.by rsingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
In Japji Sahib it says: ਸੁਣਿਐ ਸਿਧ ਪੀਰ ਸੁਰਿ ਨਾਥ ॥ In this tukh ਸਿਧ and ਨਾਥ are listed separately. Are they not the same or are they different?

It has a lot to do with the parents. Most punjabi parents are not interested that their kids should know about Sikhi. All they care about is that their children should have worldly education. Far from educating them on Sikhi, such parents do not even speak Punjabi with them. It's very common to see Punjabi mothers who themselves can barely speak a proper sentence in English speaking the roughestby rsingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
It's not about discrimination. Khalsa is Aasra of the Niraasra. Amrit Sanchaar must be prepared with a Vidhi and that Vidhi cannot be compromised. Every part of the body of the Panj Pyaras are used during the amrit sanchaar. All the five fingers(4 fingers and thumb) of the PP have to touch and hold the Baataa, so all fingers are needed.

Regarding Bhai Ranjit Singh, yes he does have some things that need fixing, like the way he is sitting above all the other Gursikhs in the photo. I used to be very critical of him before but to be honest, overall he is a good Sikh, probably a much better Sikh than me. He is doing Parchar of Sikhi. He is very Panthic in his views.

The trend that is starting to build momentum outside of India is that chairs are being put in the Durbar Hall meant for the disabled or the very elderly who genuinely have a problem sitting on the ground, but most of the people who end up using the chairs are just normal people like look at this picture: As you can see, the bibis sitting in this picture are perfectly normal and they are siby rsingh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Uttam Singh Jee, but Maya is not a state of mind. Maya means illusion. Some people think Maya is evil but it is not evil or good. It is everything we can see or feel though our five senses. The food we eat, the air we breath the things we see with our eyes(drisht and undrisht) is all Maya. It is all the physical reality we can see and feel. Kaliyug is not Maya.

Great post. Only wish someone had done this to Jaimal Singh the Radhasoami Beas dera guru when he was a small time guru.
