Encounter with Ascetics Sidhi Sadhus are a sect of ascetics. They generally live on high mountains. They believe that salvation can be sought by torturing the body. Guru Nanak Dev was a constant traveller. After covering far flung areas in the plains of India he went to important places in the Himalayan hills. While travelling in the hills, the Guru met a group of ascetics led by Gorakh Nath. They were in the first instance surprised to see the Guru at an altitude of 6000 meters. They wanted to humble him in a debate on philosophy of life. This they could not do ( i.e. they failed). Guru Nanak had better arguments. Some of the questions and answers from the discussions that took place are as follows… Nanak: What is the use of wandering around? Purity comes only through Truth. Sidhas : "Who are you? What is your name? What is your way? What is your goal? Where is your seat? Where do you live, boy? Where did you come from, and where are you going? Nanak: He (God) dwells deep within ...

It was during the time of Guru Arjan Dev Jee. Sangat was coming from Kabul (Afghanistan) to Amritsar for darshan of Gurujee. They met a Sikh and his wife on their way. This Sikh did a lot of sewa of the sangat. He massaged their legs, waved fan over them as they rested, brought water for them, everything. The next day they proceeded with this Sikh to Amritsar. As they reached Darbar Sahib, the jathedar of that Kabul sangat asked a few boys to take care of the shoes of everyone. None of the boys was ready to do it, as they all were very much eager to be the first ones to have darshan of Gurujee. At last this Sikh came forward and said I shall do it. The sangat went inside and waited for 30-45 minutes, but Gurujee didn't show up. Then the jathedar went ahead and asked Baba Buddha Jee where Gurujee was. Babajee : Gurujee has gone to see the sangat coming from Kabul. Jathedar : But we are the sangat from Kabul! Babajee : Didn't you meet Gurujee? Jathedar : No Babajee, we didn't...

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਕੋ ਨਦਰਿ ਨਿਹਾਲੇ ॥  but how rare are those few who, by Guru's Grace, obtain His Glance of Grace.  ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਅਤਿ ਊਚੋ ਊਚਾ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੫॥  My God is the Highest of the High; granting His Grace, He merges us into Himself. ||5||

  Ranjit singh cheema investigates the earliest known outsider’s account of the Sikhs’ most holy shrine, written by a one-legged British officer on a spying mission across Punjab There is little more daunting than the burning stare of a blank page waiting to be filled with the introduction to a new book. And so it was with the task of writing the opening chapter of ‘The Golden Temple of Amritsar: Reflections of the Past (1808-1959)‘.

Guru Nanak once met a burglar who after listening to the Kirtan asked for Pardon from Guruji.  Guru Nanak asked him not to break into people's houses and to live a honest life. When the  latter pleaded that counsel was impossible for him to comply with( for didn't knew anything  else/any other work), Guru Nanak suggested to him the following alternatives:  (i) Do not harm unto a man who's salt you have tasted  (i) Do not be the cause of suffering unto the poor  (ii) Do not lie.  The burglar promised to accept these mottos.  Once the burglar entered a rich baron's house, collected valuables worth a hundred thousand  rupees and was about to flee when he felt hunger and was tempted to partake some food lying  on the table, which upon tasting found it to be having salt in it. He immediately remembered  Gurujis words and left behind all the goods ready and packed.  When the baron found about it the next day, to guard against repitit...

Guru HarGobind ji once visited Kashmir. There lived his faithful follower Sewa Das who was always longing to serve the Guru. Sewa Das lived in the town of Srinagar ( capital of Kashmir) where the Guru planned to go. On the way, however, another faithful follower, Kattu Shah, met the Guru and requested him to stay with him in his cottage for some days. The Guru promised to stay with Kattu Shah on his way back. He advised Kattu Shah to sing God's praises and serve the needy. Kattu Shah was very faithful and did as Guru had adviced. One day a group of pilgrims, on their way to see the Guru, broke their journey at Kattu's cottage. Kattu served them water and did lot of Sewa. He did all that he could for the Sangat. Kattu himself was very hungry and noticed a honeypot which the pilgrims were carrying for the Guru and requested them to show him the honey. When the pilgrims showed it to him he asked if he could have a little on his finger to taste, but the pilgrims refused, saying, ...

Karva Chauth : MANMAT The embracing of the customs like Karva Chauth(fasting) and any type of other such Rituals are strongly & clearly condemned by our GURU SAAHIBAN…………. These superstitious rituals have been reviled by our GURUS but Today’s SIKHS are very happily entering into such superstitious rituals. Thus, becoming MANMATS. This is completely illogical to worship moon for long life of one's spouce. Kabir Ji has clearly written in Guru Granth Sahib Ji –
