Did you know...

Movie - Sat Sri Akal

....that Sat Sri Akal, a Hindi movie, is the name of a unique upcoming socio-religious family entertainment movie to be released in April-2008 to commemorate 300th anniversary of Gurgaddi Divas of Guru Granth Sahib....

....that Bhai Baghel Singh (d. 1802), who in 1765 succeeded Karora Singh as leader of the Karor singhia misl or chiefship, is celebrated in Sikh history as the vanquisher of Mughal Delhi.

.... that Guru Nanak went to Nepal? The temple in his honour is left to bird to sing to their hearts content and the occasional visitor who either knows it is there or has stumbled here by chance and has come upon the small weathered sign which says, “Guru Nanak Math (27°43'31"N 85°18'19"E)”....

Sardarji joke

....that the 12 O'clock joke is not a slam against Sardars; just read the following story here and here.

....that Pearl S Buck, Nobel Laureate, when writing about the English translation of Guru Granth Sahib said: "I have studied the scriptures of other great religions, but I do not find elsewhere the same power of appeal to the heart and mind as I find here in these volumes...."

....that Anand Karaj is the name given to the Sikh wedding ceremony, literally translated as "Blissful Occasion". Sikhs regard marriage as a sacred bond of mutual dependence between a man and a woman.
