Did you know...

Sundri, the movie

....that Sundri the movie is the third movie by Vismaad Pte Ltd, a Singapore based computer animation company. The film is based on a novel by the same name - Sundri by the famous Punjabi writer, Bhai Vir Singh (1872-1957). This movie like the other two previous ones is a high resolution 2D computer animation with stereo sound and will be available as a DVD and also for theatrical release which are scheduled from May 08....

....that there are 240 million Nanakpanthis in the world! Most of them live in Sindh (Pakistan), Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and other remote parts of India. They are being neglected by our own 'mainstream' Sikhs and many are converting to other religions due to lack of Parchar by SGPC or any other Sikh religious body.

....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 you can locate the kirtan of thousands of Gurbani shabads by visiting the Kirtan websites listed at SikhiWiki. And also that you can add your favourite kirtan site here!

....the Significance of Vaisakhi - For many 1000's of years, April has been the time when farmers have put their sickles to harvest and collected the precious life saving crops...

Sardarji joke

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

....that the Jagriti Yatra procession to celebrate the 300 years of Guruship of Guru Granth Sahib was scheduled to visit Kathua on 7th of April, but could not reach on time but finally arrived a full day late on 8th April 2008....

....that the Guru has pronounced that Kirtan is the magical formula that keeps the human soul afloat in the dark era of Kaljug provided the devotee sings with his mind focussed thus: "Kaljug meh kīrṯan parḝẖĝnĝ. Gurmukẖ japī­ai lĝ­ė ḝẖi­ĝnĝ. In this Dark Age of Kaljug, Kirtan is supreme when the devotee sing with focus"
