Couldn't agree more. Its sad when I talk with Bhai Sahibs at G'waras who can't read or write English. It is come to be expected of Babajis and those in charge of G'wara that they are not well educated. I mean what kind of role model is that. It seems as though those who truly want to follow...

I heard this is in Katha. I apologize for the mistakes in my translation, but here are the basics. 1. "Dekha thi Sikhi - The type of Sikhi you take on because you see someone else do it. "Dekh" = To see. This one does not last very long. Guruji does not accept this ("parvaan") type of Sikhi...

I recently saw him at a local Gurdawara. No protesting here. Lots of reverence and respect. He was invited last year around the time of Vaisakhi, when the allegations were in the papers. I'm not sure why he gets invited even with these sorts of allegations. He definetely has a lot of people...

So true, Gianiji. Everytime I start getting proud of my spiritual level, I read Asa Ki Vaar, and its a wake up call about the hypocrisy that I've built up. Maybe this bani is able to transform us humans into angels so quickly because it is so blunt. As it says in the last pauree of Japji Sahib...

Do you mean to say, Gyani Ji, that these group claim then taking Amrit or the kakkars are false or insignificant?

I think it will. Sikhs overseas, myself included, have had 1 great benefit in living overseas. No deras, and Sant mats. Not to say we don't have their proponents here, but he don't have their direct influence. Hopefully, we get a strong movement of true Sikhism overseas and actually influence...

One of my uncles is very much against the black color. He would never a black turban. He says its bad luck for him. I know Giani Maskeen Ji use to wear a black turban at most times. Ayways, I agree. Color doesn't mean much in of itself, but it can help represent your mood. I know...

As stated above, sometimes you just want to read. I don't have much wisdom to impart, and if i open my mouth too much, it'll show how little i know.

I gave my head to the Guru, if he would have wear a dastaar...I would gladly do so. Those sikhs who choose not to wear one, should not be outcasted by keshdhari sikhs. IMHO...keshdhari or even amritdhari sikhs should extend the brotherhood of Sikhi irregardless of the person's apperance and...

Re: Laughter Is The Best Medicine a TV set...i get it. :up:

Very true, sir. To do paath and sewa when others are doing it is easy. But do it when no one is around - just you and Waheguru - that is honest and true simran and sewa.

I don't think he was a doctor. He was a businessman who did really well - like a millionare. He wore a turban and had a beard.

Notayji, You are suffering from very common problems. We are all on the path. We are not perfect, but we do not need to be. Try reading the thread about "Rushing Through Nitnem", which aadji quoted from above. Yogi Bhajan in one of his videos said that hearing the bani is immaculate where...

Excellent, aadji.

Couldn't have agreed more. I enjoy it too. We are an entertaining bunch to be around, but if there is no Sikhi at its cornerstone, then....your guess is as good as mine. Before I got into Sikhism (which was not too long ago), I thought Punjabi culture = Sikhism. But that notion was quickly...
