Re: Which Gurupurabs should we celebrate?

This is very interesting observation and logical too. Yes, since when were the Gurpurabs in terms of birth or martydom days being celebrated?

Re: ‘Living out the vision’

Thanks for sharing.

According to Sikh Rehat Maryada, Morning banis are five, same as while preparing Amrit. This gentleman, says only 3. What is this - a role model for whom?

Re: Sikh Rehat Maryada - Time to revisit?

Just a thought -
