The entire book is available to view on PDL: And I believe all of bhai sahibs books are now available except "naam te daata satguru". I would request Brst to upload this book and also provide PDFs rather than isuu website. Maybe it would be good idea to provide PDFs of bhai sahibs books on this website as well. I think only a few booklets have not been uploaded such as the oby Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
In order to be fluent in a language we must be able to build on our vocabulary through reading books and speaking it on a daily basis. This is where the problem lies. The youth now speak mostly in English and only really speak in Punjabi when talking to elders. Further to this even in Punjab some youth especially from suburban areas prefer to speak in English or Hindi rather than Punjabi! Also itby Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
We are not supposed to brush teeth straight after brushing, from NHS website: "Never brush your teeth straight after a meal as it can damage your teeth, especially if you've had fruit, fizzy drinks or any other food that contains acid. This is because tooth enamel is softened by the acid and can be worn away by brushing. Instead, wait an hour after a meal before brushing your teeth to give yoby Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Bhai Sahib bhai randheer singh jee's autobiography has inspired many souls towards Gurmat. Daas has been thinking that it is vital that senior jatha Gurmukhs should be writing Gurmat literature. I am sure there are many Gurmukhs from jatha who have had spiritual experiences and have deep knowledge in regards to bhagti. So far we have bhai sahib who has written extensively on subjects such as dby Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Vista jee, It is not action of burining of the library or number of saroops that I doubt. However as a Panth we should be very sceptical in accepting that all the saroops and puratan literature was destroyed by fire. There is a real possibility that the Indian government confiscated puratan saroops and other priceless items in bags before destroying the Sikh Reference library. The SGPC andby Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
"*2500 Hath Likath Puratan Saroops were burnt by the Army" I don't think we should accept this as fact, some sources indicate that the contents of the library were taken away in bags by the Indian army. Unusually no panthic institution has taken this matter seriously, nobody really raises this issue during anniversary of operation bluestar.

I think the malware problem has been fixed, I can now access files without any warning from my anti-virus software. Viyaakaran along with (sh, z....sounds and nasal sound - bindee, tippee) have been used which is rare, most recordings on the internet do not properly employ sh, z alphabets or place bindee/tipee sounds where needed.

From Punjab Digital Library: Bhai Amar Singh Nihang Resident of Saund Pura in District Lahore. Born in 1889. He was sentenced in Komagata Maru Case and sent to Attock Jail, where he was tortured to death in 1918. The Sikh dharam is unmatched when it comes to shaheeds. No dharam shed more blood in the battlefield fighting for truth.by Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Considering our dharam is only 500 years old/300 years since creation of Khalsa, daas feels that there are many more khazana/relics to be discovered. For example in Christianity (2000 years old) the dead sea scrolls were discovered only 60-70 years ago. Sometimes daas wonders if the Damdami saroop did not get destroyed and is lying somewhere to be discovered! Also another amazing thing is tby Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Dhanvaad jee, I guess we should follow what Singh's from bhai sahib's era did. Do Toronto Singh's also subscribe to this view - simran done ik mik and in rhythm?by Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Hanji, I believe that when one is coloured in Naam then it is the heart that takes over. Does anyone have guidance from Sathees of Bhai Sahib? Daas could be wrong and maybe simran should be done in sync. Maybe simran should done be in sync to avoid disturbing the flow of simran. Please share thoughts on this and any other guidelines for amritvela simran in sangat.by Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Saadh Sangat Jeeo, are there any rules regarding simran (using saas giraas jugti) at amrivela in sangat form? For example, is it imperative that sangat do simran together in sync? If one Gursikh is doing simran very loud but not in sync with rest of the sangat is this wrong? - should that person be told to stop and do simran in sync with sangat?by Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Daas thinks this will be the future of literature. Generally people are reading less books - paper versions and instead reading electronic versions of books such as pdf's on computers and tablet devices. I hope that Bhai Randhir Singh Trust and other Punjabi Book Stores such as Singh Brothers also make e-books available for download. I'm sure sangat would appreciate this and would not mindby Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Quote: "Every Kuka would do Kirtan, that is where they got the name Kuka from." It was my understanding that naamdharis are called "kookey" because of the way they japp naam - saas giraas. Baba Raam Singh jee must have learnt saas giraas jugti from panj piare in which baba balak singh jee hazro was present. This is evidence that saas giraas technique was being used and taught well beforeby Gupt1 - Gurmat Discussion Forum
There is book called "Kukiaan Di Vithiaa" by Sikh Scholar Dr. Ganda Singh jee. This is probably the best book on Namdharis. Naamdharis should accept the True Guru of this age - Guru Granth Sahib jee.
