    ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਚਰਨ ਚਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੇ ਦਿੱਲੀ ਤੋਂ ਲਦਾਖ -1

    It is good that you plan to put together all this in a form of book so that the entire information that you have put together is stored in a bounded form. Books often stay on shelves and only those who have some clue or those who by accident run into such non-referenced material are fortunate...

    Why Has Waheguru Blessed Us With A Son With Autism?

    Dear singh_man: Guru Fetah! I just read this thread and I see many caring and thoughtful individuals have come forward to give you advice to cope with the challenge you are confronted with. Your son may be autistic but I bet he is as loving and beautiful to you as any child to a parent. I...

    8.4 Million Species ?

    Guru Fetah Ji: Thank you for sharing your paper : “ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵਿੱਚ ਚੌਰਾਸੀ ਲੱਖ ਦੀ ਗਿਣਤੀ ਦਾ ਭੇਦ” providing a comprehensive list of Gurbani quotes leading to the conclusion that : ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬਾਨ ਨੇ ਚੌਰਾਸੀ ਲੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਅਣਗਿਣਤ ਧਰਤੀਆਂ, ਜੀਵ ਜੰਤਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਜੂਨੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਸਿੰਬੋਲਕਿ ਬਹੁ ਗਿਣਤੀ ( symbolic reference to...

    8.4 Million Species ?

    Guru Fetah Ji: I believe, Gurmat is a holistic pursuit. If we put aside this foundational premise than we run the risk of mis-interpreting Gurbani and more specifically we misconstrue the sabads that we deliberately scan and select to make a point. The very approach of selecting a sabad...

    8.4 Million Species ?

    Yes I share the same perspective, it is not literal and neither it is symbolic. 8.4 million does not mean precisely 8,400,000. It is simply an estimate and a reference to the order of magnitude. Estimates are estimates -- some are good and some are bad -- they are not precise count. In an...

    5ks And Sikh Woman

    The answer to this question resides in Sikh Rehat Maryada (SRM). As far as I know there is no suggestion in SRM that women who have taken Pahul must wear dastar. SRM is the collective thought and the unified voice of the Sikh Panth on such matters. It is not written by a few the so called...

    A Sikh Marrying In Different Caste

    I just read about your predicament ( -- the first entry on this thread), but I did not read all the advise many have kindly offered you on this thread. Here is my input: In Sikhi, "Human Equality" is paramount and foundational -- caste and creed has absolutely no meaning if one follows the...

    Does God Control Everything?

    WJKK WJKF You are so right: “OUR Energy is in spirit which bring thought biochemistry speech and physical action to all”. In your earlier response you mentioned God as the “Root Energy” so you are essentially saying that God is the creator (and therefore doer) of everything. Fortunately, I...

    Does God Control Everything?

    Thank you for your kind response. Your knowledge and philosophical interpretation of Gurmat are both intriguing and impressive. However, I find the above response somewhat convoluted and conflated. It will be beneficial for all those who are curious to learn and understand Gurmat if those who...

    Does God Control Everything?

    WJKK WJKF Thank you for your quick reply - I am sorry to say, as I read your response, it appears to be a reaction rather than a reflection on what I was asking. It will be very beneficial for some of us who are ignorant and Gurmat illiterate if such exchanges are based on some insightful...

    Does God Control Everything?

    Guru Fetah ji Please complete your above thought along the attributes listed in Mool Manter - Can a part (we as human beings) be "Ajuni" like the whole ( the Akalpurkh). If not, then how can I be an image of Akalpurkh, if this is what you are trying to imply.

    Does God Control Everything?

    Dear Mr. Bhatia: Thank you for your insightful advise that one should read GGS oneself. Thank you. I also see you write that "YOU yourself is an image of Akalpurkh". Can you please expand on this statement and help me understand what do you mean when you say: "YOU yourself is an image of...
