    Christianity Sikhism In The Light Of Bible

    UK Higher Education, Is It A Birthright?

    Japji Translation Questions

    My advise to you is do not get stuck at a few words of Gurubani approach it with its collective wisdom. For example Bani states " Sukh Dukh dono sum kar Jano', these are very simple and straightforward words with clear meaning. Knowing the meaning would not help at all, after reading you will...

    Why Should We Read Guru Granth Sahib, When We Cannot Understand A Single Word?

    I fully agree with your statement. The story above is in relation to a Basket, that has residue of coal in it, has a hole in it and the object is to fetch water with it. I am sure that basket had been used at least once to fetch coal despite the hole in it. If the kid had brought mangoes in it I...
