The word "naza" means "sight", "view" or "darshan" - "blessing of the presence" of a respected person. So "nazarana" was a gift or money given to powerful people as a gift for just seeing them or for "having the sight of a great person". However, sometimes it was also levied as a "tax" under compulsion! - I not sure which one it was in this case - As a Sikh one hopes the first one as a voluntary gift! Hope this help.

tracked down Takhat by the links, answering my own ? Sat Sri Akal

various questions

Dear Allenwala ji, Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh

  • 1. Takht or Takhat is a personal choice. I personally prefer Takhat.
  • 2. yes, hyper-linking the article name within the article makes it bold
  • 3. To find what links to an article, go to the article and select "what links here" from the toolbox on the left hand side of the screen.

Thanks, you are doing a great job in copy-editing the articles. If possible please split articles into small logical paragraphs of about 5 to 10 lines. das, Hari Singh 11:12, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Sat Siri Akal,
Thank you for your kind comments regarding the VC article - I will check to see if any Canadians have had the honour of such a prestigious medal or similar.
To add a space please use the following code/word:
   &nbsp
The wiki system reduces many space characters to just one space. But the above is the symbols for the ascii code for "space". Try it, see if it works.
Respected Allenwalla ji, every contribution to SikhiWiki is most appreciated and I hope that the Guru will bless you for your dedication and energy in helping make his message a little more easier to read and understand. Of course, I am most grateful for your help.
I like the story about you bumping into the three Sikh men and how you learnt the Sikh greeting. With your knowledge about languages, I wonder if you taught languages! Kind regards, Hari Singh 17:03, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Thanks again!

Allenwalla ji,


Sat Sri Akal


Thanks again for so much interest in my articles Tawi andPahari. About Nanded Takhat you have rightly said somethings. With the passage of time many myth stories have been added which are against the basic principles of Sikhism. Moreover at two Takhats Nanded and Patna many rituals are being done which are not acceptable in Sikhism. I visit the local Gurdwara of our locality. Actually there are more than 150 Gurdwaras in whole Jammu and Kashmir. I have also recently visited Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar on 14 Oct 2007.

Allenwalla ji,

Sat Sri Akal,

I respect your views on -ism issue but here in India while describing religions -ism is used frequently just as Hinduism,Sikhism,Jainism, Budhism etc. Thanks Sir.

-ism?

Respected Allenwalla, Sat Sri Akal. Please, no need to apologise. I think you made a perfectly valid comment and what you state may be a view held by many and it may reflect the initial reaction of the dominating English tradition of the time. It opens our eyes and what you say may be totally correct and there may have been a negative aim in the minds of the creators of some of these words. I think we are better prepared and I think it will direct me in future to prefer to use Sikhi instead of Sikhism where ever possible. Also, Sikhi is what is used in the original Punjabi language and it reinforces my preference. Thanks for pointing this out as there must be many others who have come to the same conclusion as you but have not been brave or bold enough to mention this. Hari Singh 18:25, 23 October 2007 (EDT)

Gurdwara

Sir,

SSA,


I have not seen the Gurdwara Sahib quoted by you but by looking its photo it does not have any resemblence with mandirs as questioned by you. It looks like Fort type .There are many Gurdwaras giving a Fort look.

Thanks


user:sarbjeet_1313me


Sir,

SSA,

The meaning of Wakafa as questioned by you is 'Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji Ki Fateh'

concern

I am not sure if the article was removed by accident or deliberately. Could you tell me? Due to technical problems over the weekend, I have some pending issues with a few articles as well. I know that these articles cannot be fixed so I am just "re-doing" the work again - Is your problem related to that? Hari Singh 17:02, 1 November 2007 (MDT)


I will keep an eye on the article about healing.
I don't so much have to check what others did but rather what I did before the system halted so that the content is almost in the same state that it was before the crash. I think we have an acceptable situation now provided we don't suffer any more technical bugs!
As you say, you become used to the site and one does miss it when it is not available. You are doing a sterling job improving the readability of the articles. I am most grateful for your help - and no, you are not adding to my work. I hope the tilde reappears! If not use the signature button (second from the right) above the edit box Thank you (danyavaad).

Pine tree crashed

I hope all is well. I am disturbed to learn that a tree crashed through your roof. I hope not too much damage was caused and that there was no danger to life or limb. Kind regards, Hari Singh 19:50, 2 November 2007 (MDT)


Sir,

Hope everything is safe and fine with the grace of the Almighty Waheguru.

user:sarbjeet_1313me


Allenwalla ji,

SSA,

Thanks for the post but i am sorry i could not reply the right answer. You are great, Kudos to you for such a minute reading in the interest of Sikhi.You were right in detecting the discrepancy between the two articles as who actually killed Wazir Khan ,Baba Deep Singh or Baba Banda Bahadur. I am forwarding your query to S. Hari Singh ji. Thanks. user:sarbjeet_1313me 8 Nov 2007


information for you

Who says that Baba deep singh killed Wazir khan. Well if there anything like this written in any of article you are supposed to delete it. Wazir Khan was killed by Banda Singh Bahadur when Banda singh bahadur attacked on sirhind aftermath of killing of Young Sahibzadas of guru gobind singh jee. Banda singh want to destroy Wazir khan and when banda singh attacked sirhind Banda singh was killed over there(its not sure banda singh or any other singh from that fightout killed wazir khan) but the credit goes to Banda Singh Bahadur. and its said Wazir khan was killed with an arrow and when arrow was moving towards wazir khan wazir khan last words was " Oh my god Guru's teer(arrow), from where it comes". Its said that that arrow was shooted by Banda Singh.

Conclusion Wazir khan was killed when Baba Banda SIngh attacked sirhind i dunno know date or year read from banda singh's article.

Baba Deep singh is not et all related with attcking on sirhind he is related with saving the pride of sikhism harimandir sahib when ahmed shah abdali durani attacked amritsar.

I think your problem is solved know that killing of wazir khan is not et all related to baba dep singh. thanks..........Lucky

Sir tha answer is here

  • Baron means Misldhar(Sultan ul Quam), The Head of misl Jassa Singh was head of Ramgarhia Misl. But baron here are cheif of the misl.

Ya as you know that were british times british also used word baron. you can check wikipedia for mraning of baron you can confuse it with that baron as its title of nobility.

You lines on page Gurdwara Patti Sahib in english

sorry but i have to say that you have made an format to convert every word to english i want to add that the single word of english can be two to three word of punjabi. Especially tow to three words in gurbani form a word of english, Mostly. know want to convert your format in english


Line 1 Sasae - 'S' alphabatiocal letter, in punjabi its 'Sassa'. soi - Whole (Soi word start from letter S in punjabi Sassae) srisht jin saaji - 'world' 'who' 'created' (who created the world Sabhana sahib ek - 'all' 'lord' 'one'(One lord of all) bhaeya … dedicate dto a human here word used bhaeya means brother. Guru nanak is saying human that - Oh brother.

Line 2 Sevat rahe - Serving Who(Who is serving) chit - Heart, jin - whose, ka laagaa - are devoteed (Heart whose devoteed)

Aaaya - coming, tin - there, ka safal - is sucessful(Fruitful), bhaeya - Oh brother. (Fruitful is their coming into the world.) (p. 432) - on page 432 of Guru granth Sahib

I think u understood a bit. Have a happy life Today is Bandi Chorh Divas here we call it Diwali. Wish you a happy diwali. Its festival of winning over evils. Lucky

Possible Conflict & who kill WK

Hi Allenwalla ji,

Thanks for the seasonal greeting. We had a very noisy fun evening; the kid absolutely loved it - hope you too had a fine Bandi Chhorh Divas. I got your message re non-veg and veg food but could not find the article - do you remember which article had this mistake?

Also I think Lucky is correct when he say that Banda Singh killed Wazir Khan in Sirhind. I believe that you have corrected this error. Thanks for spotting the mistake, Hari Singh 04:14, 10 November 2007 (MST)

Happy B'Day

Allenwalla ji,


Sat Sri Akaal,

nazarana

The word "nazar" means "sight", "view" or "darshan" - "blessing of the presence" of a respected person. So "nazarana" was a gift or money given to powerful people as a gift for just seeing them or for "having the sight of a great person". However, sometimes it was also levied as a "tax" under compulsion! - I not sure which one it was in this case - As a Sikh one hopes the first one as a voluntary gift! Hope this help.
