Few responses this week! My interpretation of the shabad: 
 ਟੋਡੀ ਮਃ ੫ ॥ 
 Written in Raag Toddee by Guru Arjan Ji 
 
 ਨੀਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਉ ਮਿਟਹੀ ਰੋਗ ॥ Neekae Gun Gaao Mittehee Rog || 
 Even in English, we have the sentiment of singing with joy. Here singing doesn’t mean literally singing, but with the...

Absolutely! That is no longer respect of other people but disrespect of your own philosophy. Respect is allowing others the freedom to follow their own belief system. The same freedom can be expected back!

Do not use Sikiwiki as your source of information. It is very unreliable!

An additional thought, I like to differentiate between mind and brain!

ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ ॥ ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ॥੧॥ Ik Oankar was true from the beginning, will be true in the future, is true now. Nanak says, Ik Oankar will always be true (whether anyone believes or not is irrelevant as the truth does not change). I do not see gravity or electricity but see...

I have been thinking about nau nidh and what it means. It seems to relate Hindu mythology and the nine worldy treasures and nine spiritual treasures. Guru ji seems to have turned that on its head and indicates that all the treasures we could want are within ourselves if we try hard enough so...

I cannot even begin to describe how much of an effect on my life Narayanjot ji had on my life. She was a mentor, a friend, a tutor and so much more. She has made me a better person and taught me so much about life and Sikhi. I hope her final days were in peace and not in too much pain. I am glad...

This shabad is from sri Raag, and was composed by Guru Amardas ji, on Ang 34. The translation is by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa. There is a curious translation question to consider. Would Waheguru "curse" any part of his creation? Yet, the translation of this tuk says some are cursed. How could...

In honor of the gurgaddi of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji on October 20 the Shabad of the Week is taken from the Hukamnama drawn at Sri Harimandir Sahib early this morning. It is found on Ang 555 and 556, composed in the 3rd house of Guru Amardas ji. The translation is by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa...

In Aug. 2012, Xiaolian, 22, had his life changed dramatically. After a car accident left his nose infected and damaged, there was no hope of him ever looking the same again — that is until doctors in the Fuzhou, Fujian province of China decided to sculpt a new nose for him. The procedure...

Great idea! What an interesting mix of news........

I'm sure this is only one aspect of the situation-the version popularised by the media!

It is interesting to comeback to this discussion after some time away. I actually think bringing in kesh is doing this topic a disservice. For me, it is about prejudice and how superficial people are. The starter articles are non-Sikhs and see this as much as an issue as Sikhs do. It is...

This shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev ji, and is found on Ang 1331 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Some of the key words have been translated for you, but you may have a better translation. Some words are left untranslated so that you can stretch and search for their meanings. At some point the...
