god in sikhism

I have done several things this week, one of the most important to me is the acceptance and naming of the two invisible forces that I now accept are shaping me. I have come to accept that the voice in my head is the voice of the Guru. A miraculous feat whereby wisdom is present and ready to be...

Dear friends, Firstly, I do feel blessed that we have been gifted with a son with autism. But it is difficult. He is a happy boy and very loving - but cannot speak, has independence issues, cognitive disabilities and social challenges. I'll be honest - we do worry about his future and his...

Whenever i recite waheguru simran, i start feeling freshness or calmness at the bottom end of my tongue, basically where the neck starts. Why?

It was put in the background of an entirely unrelated video on Youtube. I don't think they knew what was being chanted in it... but it's clearly 'Waheguru Sahib Jio" But it's probably the most haunting simran I have ever heard! Anyway I'd like to find the original and listen to the whole...

Not last night, but Monday night (actually early Tuesday morning) at 1:00 am the fire alarm went off in my apartment building. Our building has been having false alarms lately, so I got up and got dressed leisurely... not quickly by any means. I got my pet ferret into his carrier, though I...

Taken from Internet: In a mother's womb were two babies. One asked the other: "Do you believe in life after delivery?" The other replies, "why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later. "Nonsense," says the other...

While pondering shabad of the week, I am always trying to understand more, dig deeper what Guru ji is telling me. One recurrent theme in Gurbani is with the WaheGuru's blessings. I wonder whether this has been mistranslated and what it really means for the following reasons: 1) God is not a...

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ki Fateh. sadh sangat ji. i would like to ask two questions in this thread. after the first one has been answered i will proceed on the the next one. quite simply, what does Waheguru mean. :)

Just saw this:ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰੂ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਹੈ ਜਪ ਹਉਮੈਂ ਖੋਈ ॥ "The Gurmantar is "Waheguru", through reciting which erases egotism. And wondered if a perpetual sense of awe is what the Gurmantar is supposed to instill in us.Awe noun 1. an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, fear, etc., produced...

He might have lost the Indian Idol title to a fellow Punjabi, Vipul Mehta, who hailed from Amritsar, Devenderpal Singh says “I am satisfied with the results, for this is what my Rab, my God had destined for me”. “It was during the piano round that Asha Bhonsle had told me that legendary Lata...

I used to be quite interested in Taoism and in my readings about Sikhi I think there are a lot of parallels. One being that (in my opinion) the formless and mysterious nature of the Tao is similar to the formless and mysterious nature of the Waheguru. The very first verses of Lao Tzu's Tao Te...

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh I love the Waheguru simran chanting, but I can't find any good websites or retailers selling downloads or CDs of this kind of music. :( How do these simrans get released? Do they come on an album or are they released individually? I'm trying to find...

Yes it is my first question . As in japuji saheb first two words are "ek onkar satnam" and correct me if i am wrong it means "ek onkar satnam is his only true name" . So i want to ask who used the word "waheguru" first among our gurus. And what is the meaning of it. Is waheguru the name of god...

In our practice of Sikhism we do different things for spiritual endeavors and living. It goes without saying that all have varying positive influences on people's lives as such cannot sustain otherwise. 1. Waheguru Simran SWEET SIMRAN - YouTube It has become...

Gurfateh Some tuks from this shabad were sung at the Gurdwara I attend recently. I was suprised by the translation on the projector screen. I might be asking about something which is far beyond my comprehension at this point in my growth but thought I'd ask since there is some talk of avatars...

I was replying to this thread: http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-youth/34110-the-importance-of-kesh-for-sikh.html when I realised my reply had turned into a thread of it's own. One criticism I have of that article is that it personifies God, which I don't think fits with the Sikh concept of...

First of all, Guru Gobind Singh Sahibji de gurpurab di bahut bahut wadhai howe. Secondly, Please help me on this: What is the correct pronunciation of the word: Waheguru. In Gurmukhi, there is sihari(i) to the letter h in the word waheguru. Do we pronounce it as WAAH-E-GURU or WAAH-GURU...

What makes a good bargain and what doesn't? I start with two of the finest minds among the Sikhs that I have met. First I will tell you that they are superbly well honed intellects. Then I want you to know that they are Sikhs who seem to want to practice Sikhi - and are satisfied that they do...

I just finished talking to a dear friend of mine who I had not heard from for some time. This same friend who introduced me to Sikhi had some time ago turned away from Sikhi. This friend of mine experienced some extremely painful events in her life. I was wondering if Sikhs can pray for another...
