Gurfatehji In my opinion, it was never the Gurus intention to turn themselves into Gods, to be worshipped or to be put onto a pedestal. I believe that the Gurus had no special powers, no supernatural powers, they had just managed to achieve the state of Naam, and wanted to share that with us...

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...

Hello folks, now i never want to start inter religion controversy but this one is surely of the next level for example he says kabir is guru of guru nanak!!!! and he says god is not nirakar but sakar example he gives is this मलार महला १ ॥ (Page 1257, श्री गुरु ग्रंथ साहिब जी) - गुरु...

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...

Gurfatehji My parents visited me last week, they brought some 3D pictures that they had brought over from India with them and asked if I wanted to choose one. I settled on a picture of all 10 Gurus, which I then hung up in the shop. There is something that makes me feel very uncomfortable...

Sat Sli Akal, Thank you for your attentions, I'm Japanese postgraduate student who studies about the lives among Sikh migrants in England. I'm now doing a few interviews with the Sikh in Japan. And I'm going to go to Birmingham this summer to study for 1 year. My question is: Why did...

Guru and Guruship Guru means a spiritual teacher out of darkness into light - this is what Guru Granth Sahib Ji does. Genuine historical evidence written by British government officials, Muslim historians and trustworthy Sikhs of the time all show without any doubt that Guru is Guru Granth...

Gurufateh It appears to me that there are similarities between the Guru and the Holy Spirit. I don't know enough about either one to articulate what I perceive. With brother Vouthon now on board I thought this might be a good time to ask the question. I've seen comments previously that the...

The Yogis ask Guru Nanak: कवन तुमे किआ नाउ तुमारा कउनु मारगु कउनु सुआओ ॥ साचु कहउ अरदासि हमारी हउ संत जना बलि जाओ ॥ कह बैसहु कह रहीऐ बाले कह आवहु कह जाहो ॥ नानकु बोलै सुणि बैरागी किआ तुमारा राहो ॥२॥ सुआओ - उद्देश्य; मनोरथ (Objective, Aim); कह बैसहु - कहाँ रहते हो (Where do you live) |...

It is said that this sloka was uttered by the holy tongue of Guru Sahib on a very special occasion. During one of his Udasi, he met Sufi Saint Shaikh Ibrahim (descendant in the lineage of Baba Shaikh Farid). During the conversation between them, Shaikh Ibrahim requested Guru Nanak to reveal him...

Guru Nanak in Guruvani has classified human being in two categories: Manmukh (Governed by their mind), Gurumukh (Governed by their spiritual guru). He beautifully explains the miseries faced by manmukh in a shabad (Adi Granth, Page 1028-30): असुर सघारण रामु हमारा || घटि घटि रमईआ रामु...

गुरु रामदास जी ने ३० रागों में वाणी की रचना की है | आदि ग्रन्थ की सारी वाणी ३१ रागों में है | गुरु रामदास जी की वाणी की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता, सरल वर्णन और आसान भाषा है | आपकी वाणी में राम, रामनाम या हुक्म की महिमा गाई गयी है | आपने निर्मल आचरण और प्रभु भक्ति द्वारा प्रभु मिलाप पर जोर दिया है | गुरु...

एक बार गुरु अमरदास जी ने अपने शिष्यों को एक जगह मिट्टी के चबूतरे बनाने के लिए कहा | जब चबूतरे बन गए तो गुरु साहिब ने कहा: ये ठीक नहीं हैं, इन्हें गिराकर फिर से बनाओ | गुरु साहिब बार-बार चबूतरे बनवाते रहे और गिरवाते रहे | धीरे-धीरे चबूतरे बनवाने वाले और गिरानेवालों की संख्या कम होने लगी | अंत में...

A child born in a Brahmin family is assumed to be a Brahmin on grounds of coincidence of birth and on similar grounds a child is called a Kshatriya on account of being born in Kshatriya family. However, a son of a doctor does not automatically become a doctor and a son of an engineer does not...
