Just food for thought. If you u ra busy person, skip this :) . So, I was reading this article on How the time is right for startups to come and liberate the Hollywood audience, because that industry is dying. Then towards the end I came across this line: "Whatever people are going to do for fun in 20 years is probably predetermined." (link to the article) This line coming from a VC really

Just wanted to share the most eye opening attempt at translating the Jap bani in modern day English I have ever come across. This is a work in progress project, but these first five articles are worthy of being pronted in gold: Understanding Jap Pauri 1 Pauri 2 Pauri 3 Pauri 4 Gur fateh.

We in the Bay area have been involved in some ridiculous amount of fun with Gurbani for the last few months and the group has become our friday evening mainstay. With all of us looking forward to friday everyweek.  Ok, Ok, I know it could just be because of the movie nights, song nights and after veechar parties :) But still if you are in the Bay area and have some amount of interest in Gurbani,

Shame.  What legal steps can we take to stop this kind of ridiculous behavior by goons in the guise of public protectors? ideas anyone? The problem is not just removing the young man's pride by snatching his dastar (turban), it more so about the high handedness of the system. The other shameful thing is that whenever these issues come up people make it a hindu vs sikh issue.  The real

Just a passing observation. When I was growing up in India, I saw two kind of Vegetarians. 1. Religious veggie: Those who did not consume meat because their religious leader told them so or interpreted their holy teachings as such. 2. Spiritual veggie: Those who wanted to live a more aware life and hence felt the cruelty towards animals can be avoided, since they can live easily on a

I have been mostly blogging at my other blog (UrbanTurbanGuy) for a while now. But I thought it would be good to cross post this one here.  About a year ago my roommate introduced me to Epicurean Hedonism. It seemed very different from what my perception of the word 'Hedonism' was. I realized that for a fact only after I spent an in this last year working at a startup and inescapably becoming

Some might call it blasphemy. I respect your opinion, but i assume i am not hurting anyone here. I have been hanging out with a bunch of godly people here in bloomington, who love to create music. For the last few days I started playing keertan with them; even though everyone loved the sounds & music - but no one really knew what I was singing, because they dont know punjabi/hindi/braj. I

Beware: totally random post - no real conclusion. Just wanted to get something off my chest. Last year and a half has been very interesting for me as I have been living in Bloomington, IN. far away from any gurdwara and the overly self-important sikh community. But I have been following the happenings from the outside - the usual ones - excommunications, Calenders, Dasam Granth, Sarabloh granth,

Should I be proud when a Sikh accomplishes something in a sport; or a Punjabi / Indian achieves a superlative heights in a profession ?; Or since I am living in Indiana now - should I be proud when the Colts win ?

Bhagat Namdev ji, 600years ago, had a solution to the Ramsetu controversy. He said, " I have heard that God's name makes even stones float. (but are those real stones? Or are they metaphorical references for our low down & dirty characters. He makes them float above the scum-ocean of our virtue-less lives.)So oh lord why shouldn't Your humble students also float across, remembering You, O Lord? |

someone saidFaith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float. And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on. But I have some reservations on this topic , it is this topic exactly that makes sikhi

This only for Those who have a unbiased and open mind and are not scred to accept that even the most reverd can make mistakes ( even guru sahib sayes that : ਭੁਲਣ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਅਭੁਲੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਕਰਤਾਰੁ ॥bhulan andar sabh ko abhul guroo kartaar.Everyone makes mistakes; only the Guru and the Creator are infallible.)This is a set of audio discussing what is "itihas" & "mithihas" , how to work forward for the

We are aware that the sangat of meenas , masands , kurimar , Narimar and ramraiyaas is banned.But why did guru ji ban them?Because they acted as if they were guruji's sikhs (only in appearence and name sake) but actually did activiries totally against gurmat. Ramraiyaas went to the extent of changing guru sahibs banee.I am writing this, because even though I have never met a menas, masands etc. ,

Found this in one of yogi Bhajans lecturesWe don't put turban as a piece of cloth, we crown ourselves. We tell the whole world, we are the rulers of our own destiny. We tell the entire universe and all living beings, we are absolutely independent and by ourself. We can stand alone through the tragedy and the torture of time and space, but shall always identify to be Sikhs of the Guru.Do you

Just to share experiences from Dubai : Singhan nu guru sahib ne chardiyan kalan bakshiyaan ne , there are Some Gurdwaras in the UAE. (No nishan sahibs but.) The "chemical formula" that guru sahib has used to make sikhi is one which generates real love for sikhi under these circumstances. Since I have come here I have had the privilege of getting the darshan many chardiyan kalan naam

Really Mind-blowing , crisp & crystal clear katha and Gurmat veechar by Gurbachan singh ji Thailand wale . (1hour & 40 min ) ( He is in Dubai for the next weekend also , so most probably we will have more hours of invaluable veechar soon !) Here is the Shabad he is discussing : ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ਘਰੁ ੪ ॥ sireeraag mehlaa 1 ghar 4. ਏਕੁ ਸੁਆਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਸੁਆਨੀ ਨਾਲਿ ॥ ayk su-aan du-ay su-aanee naal. ਭਲਕੇ

All those who have read sundari will know that bhai Veer Singh jee explains why writing that novel was the need of the hour. He says that by the 1890's the situation of the Sikh masses was very pathetic in Sikhi rehit and jeevan . Especially the mothers & sisters had started to follow a mixture religion of sorts i.e. gurdwara sahib vi ho aaye, mandir vi ho aaye , pir di dargah vi chale gaye ,
