Reading Gurbani and doing Nitnem is not going to cure a physical pain. It is not voodoo or black magic or magic words. What it gives you is wisdom, wisdom as you highlighted that everything happens in Hukam and we cannot describe it fully (Jap Pauri #2). It is hard many times to accept what is happe...

What are you trying to learn? Every source is an interpretation and hence, subject to the bias of the one writing/explaining. For example, there are over 50 well written Teekas and Steeks of Japji and they differ in many places. So, like everything in life, pick few respectable sources, understand d...

You are legally married. What’s stopping you from moving in together? Doing anand karaj twice just sounds silly though especially if you are doing it the second time for show and tell. we are a couple who are a little frustrated and need some help according to you what our opportunities are. We were...

AFAIK, Sikhi does not dictate these things but these traditions have evolved over time. Best to ask a local gurudwara on what is typically done.

300 years ago they had people who worked the night shifts such as soldiers, police officers and night watch. Amrit vela means prioritizing god in our life.

How do you infer that God has created this game and create Maya to perpetuate the illusion? I have been trying to find this but not able to, so, very much looking forward to your answer. References with page and line number will be helpful. According to Sikhi, there is nobody else but God. God has c...

I agree with the Wikipedia article but don’t have any hard evidence and my support is based on what I have seen and read over the years. So, very interested to see what evidence and objective information you are able to pull to counter these points.

Thx for posting!

No such thing. You can’t attract stuff, bunch of non-sense. What is true, is that you actions will likely reflect what’s in your mind. That’s why 4th Pauri in Jap says to think/contemplate/remember god’s virtues when your mind is calm (amritvela) so that those qualities reflect in your life through ...

A big debate we see till this day is whether women should be allowed to be part of the panj pyare. Personally I think women should be allowed to do anything men are allowed to do because Guru ji regarded everyone as equals. So if a man can have a kirpan so can a women, if a man can take be part of ...
