    Preserving Ancient String Instruments

    It is my honor to share knowledge with the sangat. I really dont think the entire sikh population realizes how powerfull and special the sikh musical tradition is(gurmat sangeet). Before Guru Arjan maharaj , most of the kirtan was done by muslims on their rebeck's(seni/dhrupad/indian rebab)...

    Preserving Ancient String Instruments

    It is very sad that few sikhs of the guru are aware of these beutiful instruments. Rabab-altered and promoted by guru nanak Saranda-designed, created and played by guru arjan Taus-designed, created and played by guru gobind singh Dilruba-re desinged and created by guru gobind singh...

    Blueberry Imposters: Fake Blueberries Are Everywhere

    nice article findingmyway ji but im afraid the situation is more serious than just fake bluberries flooting around our food. A small handful of food corporations(kraft,coke,frito lay etc)literaly run the entire food industry in the north western hemesphere. Dextrose, Corn Flour, Partially...

    Do You Think That Sikhism Is Right/From God?

    Re: Why Do You Think That Sikhism Is Right/From God? Look at youre watch or a clock, what is the shape of the instrument we use to measure time? The strongest shape/form in engineering is a circle or a sphere. This is why we use round tires on cars and even tanks. Hold a egg in youre palm...

    Do You Think That Sikhism Is Right/From God?

    Re: Why Do You Think That Sikhism Is Right/From God? Shanger ji, one more thing. Gurus understood the power of NAAD/SOUND/VIBRATION and employed a RAGA(indian classical tunes/alchemical formulas) to every shabad. This way you get to 1)cognitively or analiticaly understand the message...

    Do You Think That Sikhism Is Right/From God?

    Re: Why Do You Think That Sikhism Is Right/From God? Yes you are right. This proof is in the very first word that nanak uttered after attaining enlightment, the problem is you lack two things and no it is not faith. You lack 1)wisdom and 2)awareness. This proof is stated in the beginning of...

    Losing My Religion

    A tough situation especially for the sikh youth keeping the symbols of khalsa but here go my two cents. 1) Anybody on the spiritual path MUST have the wisdom to realize that most people are 100% asleep, behaving and acting uncounsciously, unaware, spiritualy dead, goin off stimuly. We must...

    Joseph Cunningham, The First British Historian Of The Sikhs

    very true, i find it very interested how he died shortly after publishing the book. Makes me think of the matrix 2's main message "we are all here to do , what we are meant to do"

    Controversial For India’s Newly Rich Farmers, Limos Won’t Do

    Do You Think That Sikhism Is Right/From God?

    Re: Why Do You Think That Sikhism Is Right/From God? I believe here is youre major flaw. It sounds like to me that you are approaching sikhi which is an EASTERN religion from a very WESTERN religious standpoint. You are not going to find ANY indian religion(hindu, sikh, buddhist, jain etc)...

    (In Punjabi/ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) Punjabi Folk Pakistan

    BEUTIFUL! True panjabi folk music(unlike bhangra). I believe that "the partition" of "India" is very misleading and please believe ghandi, jinah and the british did this on PURPOSE. It should be renamed THE PARTITION OF PANJAB! It was Lahore and Amritsar that was split, not INDIA! PANJAB was...

    India Kalgi Not Authentic, Declares SGPC

    From what i undertand a plume khalgi was one of the prizes that was sent to the queen of england after Maharaj Ranjit Singh's palaced was plundered by the british as a result of the expulsion of Maharaj Duleep Singh and the annexation of the Panjab. I find it hard to believe that the queen would...
