<br />
'''Bhai Pinderpal Singh''' Ji, the charismatic Gursikh kathavachak was born in the Village of Tharva Majra, District Karnal, in the state of Haryana, India. His ancestors came from the Village of Choodkan in the District of Sheikhpura, now in Pakistan. This is where the the religious site of [[Sacha Sauda]] of [[Guru Nanak]] Dev Ji is located. His family moved to the Indian side of the border after the separation of India and Pakistan. <br />
<br />
He was born in July 1966. His father's name is Sardar Hardial Singh and his mother is Balbir Kaur. Bhai Sahib is married and lives with his wife and children together with his parents in Urban Colony, Ludhiana, Punjab, India. He received his initial education at his village after which he studied at the Gurmat Missionary Collage in Ropar, Punjab, India. <br />
<br />
He has travelled extensively throughout India and the rest of the world spreading the message of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. During his visits to the US, audio recordings of his katha on various banis were done and uploaded by sevaks to various sites. He has been the "anchor" kathavachak at Gurdwara Kalgidhar Sahib for many years. <br />
<br />
The appeal, charm and novelty of his katha lies, amongst other things, in is his strict adherence to Gurbani, Bhai Gurdas Ji's and Bhai Nand Lal Ji's writings. The illustrations and examples that he provides during the course of his katha are from Gurbani and not "external" sources. <br />
<br />
He is a model of Sikhi lifestyle as he lives his life in a very simple, unassuming and humble way. He effectively lives what he preaches and it is for this reason that he has become a great role model for the Sikh youth of today. He is always conciliatory in his approach and believes in convincing others through discussion rather than applying any kind of force.<br />
[[Image:Pinderjee.jpg|thumb|right|300px|at Surrey]] <br />
The magic and conviction of his katha lies in the deep passion and love with which he speaks. He quotes Gurbani extensively during the course of his katha and backs up everything he says with Gurbani. He attributes his success as a kathavachak entirely to Guruji's bakshish.<br />
<br />
Unlike many other kathavachaks, he is always positive in his approach and does not use the stage at the Gurdwaras to be critical of individuals, committees or issues. Bhai sahib makes it a point to stay above petty political frays and never involves himself in the local politics of any city or town that he visits. Bhai Sahib is one of the most if not the most inspirational and motivational Sikh preachers today. <br />
<br />
Bhai Sahib's katha is telecast daily in the Punjab by ETC Punjbai channel. Bhai Sahib has also been appointed to do the katcha duty at Gurdwara Manji sahib in Amritsar, a task preciously performed by the late Sant Singh Maskeen. Whenever he is at home in Ludhiana he does katha every morning at Gurdwara Kalgidhar Sahib. He has been doing that for many years now and is held in very high regard and is very well respected by the sangat there.<br />

==LUST and ILLEGITIMATE SEX==<br />
It is one of the greatest evils that tempts people away from God. It makes an individual weak-willed and unreliable. The normal sexual relationship of house-holders (a married couple) is not restricted in any way in [[Sikhism]]. But sex outside of marriage or sex forced against the will of ones partner is taboo, as it can cause unlimited sorrows.<br />

==VIRGINITY==<br />
<br />
The loss of virginity can be viewed as a milestone to be proud of or as a failure to be ashamed of (particularly if a lack of self control was involved), depending on cultural perceptions. these perceptions were heavily influenced by perceived gender roles, such that for a male the association was more often with pride and for a female the association was more often with shame. But today women feel pride about this not in western culture but in other countries too. <br />
<br />
In Sikhism, The sexual activity must occur only between married individuals(Unde Control) for purpose of child. Before marriage it is said to be sin, as it is a pat of kaam(lust or sexual desire). If a girl/boy looses his virginity before marriage because to satisfy her/his needs then this is sin for both. This comes under sexual desire i.e kam(one of vices). If virginity looses through masturbation then it is also a sin as your thinkings must be wrong at that time. Virginity is important aspect and everyone must take care of it before marriage.<br />
<br />
ਜਾਂ ਕਆਰੀ ਤਾ ਚਾਉ ਵੀਵਾਹੀ ਤਾਂ ਮਾਮਲੇ ॥<br />
jaaN ku-aaree taa chaa-o veevaahee taaN maamlay<br />
When she is a virgin, she is full of desire; but when she is married, then her troubles begin.<br />
<br />
ਫਰੀਦਾ ਝਹੋ ਪਛੋਤਾਉ ਵਤਿ ਕਆਰੀ ਨ ਥੀਝ ॥੬੩॥<br />
फरीदा झहो पछोताउ वति कढ़आरी न थीझ ॥६३॥<br />
fareedaa ayho pachhotaa-o vat ku-aaree na thee-ai. ||63||<br />
Fareed, she has this one regret, that she cannot be a virgin again. ||63||<br />

'''ABOUT PURITY OF VIRGINITY'''<br />
<br />
ਖਿੰਥਾ ਕਾਲ ਕਆਰੀ ਕਾਇਆ ਜਗਤਿ ਡੰਡਾ ਪਰਤੀਤਿ ॥<br />
खिंथा कालढ़ कढ़आरी काइआ जढ़गति डंडा परतीति ॥<br />
khinthaa kaal ku-aaree kaa-i-aa jugat dandaa parteet.<br />
<br />
Let the remembrance of death be the patched coat you wear, let the purity of<br />
virginity be your way in the world, and let faith in the Lord be your walking stick. <br />
[[Guru Nanak Dev]](Page 6 Line 16)<br />
<br />
==MASTURBATION==<br />
<br />
*[[Sikhi on masturbating]]<br />
<br />
==WATCHING PORN==<br />
<br />
Sikhs should not watch porn. these things keep you away from not only spiritual life but also effect your normal life. These makes you masturbative and you will loose your virginity all this falls under part of kam. You are watching for internal pleasure. This is banned for sikhs. <br />
<br />
Actually the buisnessmans of porn know that Kaam(lust) is the main evil which is in every human being they take support of this evil and makes you kami. They earn money through kam And can destroy your life through it.<br />
<br />
ਤੀਜੈ ਝਾਖ ਝਖਾਇਆ ਚਉਥੈ ਭੋਰ ਭਇਆ ॥<br />
तीजै झाख झखाइआ चउथै भोरढ़ भइआ ॥<br />
teejai jhaakh jhakhaa-i-aa cha-uthai bhor bha-i-aa.<br />
In the third, they babble nonsense, and when the fourth <br />
watch comes, the day of death has arrived.<br />
[[Guru Arjan]] Page 43 line 12)<br />
<br />
ਅਗਿਆਨ ਮਤੀ ਅੰਧੇਰ ਹੈ ਬਿਨ ਪਿਰ ਦੇਖੇ ਭਖ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥<br />
अगिआन मती अंधेरढ़ है बिनढ़ पिर देखे भढ़ख न जाइ ॥<br />
agi-aan matee anDhayr hai bin pir daykhay bhukh na jaa-ay.<br />
In the darkness of intellectual ignorance, she cannot <br />
see her Husband, and her hunger does not depart.<br />
Guru amardas page 38 line 5<br />
<br />
Bura dekhan main chalea (kabir)<br />
<br />
Ranna hoyian bodhian purash hoye sinyaar<br />
(Kuriyan nu dikhan da shonk te pursh nu wekhan daa)<br />
<br />
Many things are written in guru granth sahib regarding this. If you don't have self control go towards guru granth sahib and do ardas from the depth of your heart. Waheguru will definitely show you the way.<br />
<br />
==SIKH ATTITUDE TO FAMILY PLANNING ==<br />
<br />
*[[Sikhi on Family Planning]]<br />
<br />
==HOW TO GET RID of all this==<br />
<br />
1. Wisdom (gyan) : is the complete knowledge of a set of religious principles. It can be achieved by hearing good, thinking good and doing good. A man of wisdom tries to achieve a high moral standard in his life and interaction with others. According to Sikhism, the first steps to wisdom is to consider oneself as an ignorant person who has to learn a lot in life.<br />
<br />
2. Truthful Living (sat) : This is more than 'truth'. It means living according to the way of God i.e. the thoughts should match the words that a person speaks and his actions should also match his words. Truthful living brings a person closer to God.<br />
<br />
3. Justice (niaon) : means freedom and equal opportunities for all. Respect for the rights of others and strict absence of attempts to exploit a fellow being. Sikhism forbids the desire to loot another's property. It also strictly instructs the Sikhs to show respect even for the women and children of an enemy.<br />
<br />
4. Temperance (santokh) : means self control which has to be developed<br />
through meditation and prayers. A Sikh has to banish evil thoughts from his mind by constantly repeating Gods name and reciting prayers. Torture to the body to develop self-control is not advocated in Sikhism<br />
<br />
5. Patience (dhiraj) : implies a high level of tolerance and empathy for others. It requires control over ones ego and willingness to overlook another's weakness or mistakes. It requires that a Sikh should be strong willed, but kind hearted.<br />
<br />
6. Courage (himmat) : means bravery i.e. absence of fear. It is the ability to stake ones life for ones convictions and for saving others from injustice or cruelty.<br />
<br />
7. Humility (namarta) : is a deliberate denial of pleasure at one's own<br />
praise and admiration. It means underplaying ones own strengths and<br />
respecting the abilities of others. It is the antidote to 'ahankar'<br />
<br />
8. Contentment (sabar) : means refraining from worldly fears and submitting oneself to the will of God. The typical worldly fears can be fear of death, poverty, disrespect and defeat. It is this virtue that has given the Sikhs the moral strength to withstand the various atrocities committed on their community in the last three centuries.<br />
<br />
at gurus time, Guru gobind singh said abt sikhs -<br />
<br />
ਜੱਧ ਜਿਤੇ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੇ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੇ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਸ ਦਾਨ ਕਰੇ ॥ <br />
ਅਘ ਅਉਘ ਟਰੈ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੇ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕਰਿਪਾ ਫਨ ਧਾਮ ਭਰੇ ॥<br />
जढ़ढ़ध जिते इन ही के पढ़रसादि इन ही के पढ़रसादि सढ़ दान करे ॥ <br />
अघ अउघ टरै इन ही के पढ़रसादि इन ही कढ़रिपा फढ़न धाम भरे ॥<br />
By the kindness of these Sikhs, I have conquered the wars and <br />
also by their kindness, I have bestowed charities; <br />
by their kindness the clusters on sins have been destroyed and <br />
by their kindness my house is full of wealth and materials;<br />
<br />
What are you giving to gurus know blady kaam, krofh lobh moh & hankaar. How can u think that guru is with you. If you leave all this then guru says<br />
<br />
o sahib main us daa chela<br />
<br />
lets bid before god and ask sorry to him - <br />
<br />
“O my Master. I am silly, save me, 0 my Lord-God!<br />
Thy slave’s praise in thine own glory!” (AG, 166)<br />
