    Turban In Wrestling/Jiu-jitsu

    I really love jiu-jitsu (a wrestling/grappling martial arts), but my patka ( :angrymunda: ) keeps coming off. A keski/choti dastaar also opens up quickly. Do you have any advice on how to prevent that or another style of turban to wear?

    SciTech Faith And Facebook: The Spiritual Pitfalls Of An Online Existence

    I agree with the poster 100%. In fact, when he was describing what facebook does to you, it felt like he was talking about me. But the truth is that is life. There are plenty of things in the world that can take us off the path. Like you said Facebook is good and bad. So is everything else in...

    General Is Gatka Useful In A Self Defense Situation?

    Gatka always seemed interesting to me, but when I talked to one of my friends who does gatka, it doesn't seem like a realistic fighting style. Nowadays, it is more like a game where opponents attack turn by turn. Even if it was not turn by turn, it seems like it would not be as effective as...

    Can God Create A Mountain Which He Cannot Lift?

    This is a very interesting question someone asked me the other day: Can God create a mountain which he cannot lift? Now before you answer, note that I am not questioning Vaheguru's strength. I am simply curious to the solutions you give. If anyone does not see the contradiction here, I will...

    Two Questions About God

    I have two questions that I was asked a while back and I have been wondering the answers ever since. First of all, (this was asked by an atheist) if God exists, why do so many "bad" things happen in the world? It got me thinking, why does vaheguru not make everyone good and take out all of the...

    Raag Vs. No Raag

    I think that meaning has more importance than the way it is sung. You can do it in Raag, you can say it, you can even do it in AKJ style, but when I hear the baani, it doesn't matter how it is sung. That is just my personal opinion. Any others?

    General How Can I Improve My Kirtan?

    I love to do kirtan and I've improved a lot in the last few years but it seems like I'm not getting any better now. There as some people I know who do amazing and beautiful kirtan, and I want to be able to sing and play like that. I practice everyday, and I learn the meanings of the shabads so I...

    Raag Vs. No Raag

    Some people tell me that all kirtan should be done in raag and some say that it doesn't matter. Personally I don't think it matters as long as the kirtan is done from the heart and one knows the meaning. What do you think? EDIT: Is this the right place for this topic? I'm new here so I'm not...
