Everyone is fine here. I was reading research articles of Harpal Singh Kasoor on the website: Satguru at Makindu Sahib, he given many proofs to prove his points. His whole researches and material is available on the website. Though he claims(or may be mistakenly wrote) that Sixth Guru Hargobind also visited Africa and this is new saying in historians world. I Contacted a Historian Narinder Singh, he will give me details of Hargobind Visits and lifetime, and i will upload that here too.
I had a nice trip to Toka Sahib in Sirmaur district will upload it's images shortly. You kindly go through his website and tell if anything is logical their. You can contact with Harpal Singh too on his mail ID for furthur queries.

Baba Buddha
I have added {{Mergeto|article=Baba Buddha}} and {{Mergeto|article=Baba Buddha}} to the two articles. also were the Merge templates already created? I saw one for Merge but it seemed like only useful if suggesting to merge the information within article, so used the Merge template to make Template:Mergeto (to be used on articles that will be merged with another) and Template:Mergefrom (to be used on articles with which another will be merged). Is that okay? Gman124 00:41, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Please help
Hari ji, I have made a box (check Baba Buddha) and added it to the page Baba Buddha. I still do not have my programs loaded on my computer. To make the box I had to use my wife's laptop which has the newest version of everything that I am not familiar with. Anyway my reason for doing the box is to limit edits while someone is doing something as complicated as combining articles.
In particular my new attempt apparently has several inches of white space included below the box. With whatever you edit the photos/illustrations with could you resize the box or even better make a new box with a similar message, perhaps adding a message that someone has undertaken the requested task.
People have egos and I would not like to be the source of getting rid of someones edits, done while I am working for what might be hours only to get the message - someone else has edited this box while you were working on it and then have to look for peoples' changes, while trying not to lose hours of work.
This seems to be a useful item for anyone. I saw the request, normally with the 24" screen I can open two pages side by side and read and combine easily. Also several programs edit text and check spelling - I have been educating my dictionary slowly with many punjabi, hindi and urdu, ect. words (english/roman script).
Thanks, Allenwalla 17:18, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Shai Sahib ji, please see below.
Baba Buddha ji (6 October 1506 was born on 6 October 1506 One day, when he was young, he was grazing cattle outside the village when Guru Nanak happened to pass by. According to Bhai Mani Singh's, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala (The Holy Sikh Jewels), Bura went up to him and, making obeisance with a bowl of milk as his offering, prayed to him saying:
The story below said that Bura (Baba Buddha ji ) was:
a small boy and Guru Nanak addressed him saying, You are only a child yet. -->The birth date of 1506 and the given date of the meeting of 1524, (when Guru Nanak Dev was 37) means he was 18 years old. A sentence or two later it is related that he was already married at 17 and spending time doing Seva at Kartarpur. Given that this is a story already woven into nearly Sikh site, I/we need to throughly check available dates, who gave them ect. A child of 6-9 being called Baba is very different from a young man of 18 being called Baba.
As currently stated:
"O sustainer of the poor! I am fortunate to have had a sight of you today. Absolve me now from the circuit of birth and death." The Guru said, You are only a child yet:.
But you talk so wisely." "Some soldiers set up camp by our village," replied Bura, "and they mowed down all our crops - ripe as well as unripe. Then it occurred to me that, when no one could check these indiscriminating soldiers, who would restrain death from laying his hand upon us, young or old." At this Guru Nanak pronounced the words: "You are not a child; you possess the wisdom of an old man." From that day, Bura, came to be known as Bhai Buddha, buddha in Punjabi means wise (wisdom usually only comes with age). Later, when advanced in years, he was known as Baba Buddha.
Bhai Buddha became a devoted disciple of Guru Nanak. His marriage at the age of seventeen at Achal, did not distract him from his chosen path and he spent more time at Kartarpur where Guru Nanak had taken up his abode.
You may have better books than I do. Please advise. Allenwalla 17:59, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks and will research as well
Hari ji, your dates agree with what I find as well. Thanks I've read the story several times, just when I think I've read every page, I come across ones I haven't seen.
The page titled Baba buddha sahib, is now empty - combined into the other article. Perhaps, the title, with caps added, should be redirected. Allenwalla 22:53, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I read the other day about Hindus giving 'nick' names till a Grandfather could make a name. I know Sikhs now select a name from the Guru Granth. Would this custom have disappeared by the time of Baba Buddha. Could Bura have been a 'nick' name given at birth?
Horses, Elephants and Helicopters?
Not about a Sikh, but I thought you might enjoy this story, seems land speculation which because of a rapidly increasing population here in the US, made some cash out, and sell their family farms for Gold, is also making some wealthy in India as well.

vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh
I think you have redirected page Khalsa Kaal Purakh Ki Fauj to Khalsa Akaal Purakh Ki Fauj under section further thoughts. I am not getting why you have done that? or may be you have redirected pages wrongly. There is not a Single granth which supports line -> Khalsa Akal Purakh ki Fauj(i.e man made line not Gurmat), but Sarabloh Granth which contains Khalsa Mahima(Khalsa Mero Roop hai khas) having line Kaal purakh ki Fauj. If you want i can upload the page here for you, where it is clearly mentioned and i know you will do Justice with Guru's words by correcting the article yourself.

Sajjan Kumar to face trial
Thought this might be worth reading.
http://beta.thehindu.com/news/national/article259632.ece
The former Congress MP,Sajjan Kumar, will face trial in the 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases as a Delhi court on Saturday referred the cases to a Special CBI Court, rejecting a plea of his.
As I only sleep for about 2 hours , I found this at 3:30 AM this morning. Though like any trial, one never knows the results, i am sure many will welcome the news. Allenwalla 07:34, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
NEW DELHI, March 20, 2010
Khalsa Kaal Purakh ki Fauj
vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh,
Sarabloh Granth is Khalsa roop granth. The Khalsa Mahima is present in Sarabloh Granth not in Dasam Bani. I think that article(Khalsa Mahima) also need to be corrected, moreover it is written same is copied from Amrit Keertani. Some websites is showing Khalsa Mahima as part of Dasam thats totally result of ignorance.
Sikhiwiki have to show truth as when people searches this website comes in top and it's not good, when the top website is displaying incorrect things.Kindly check these two image files. If any problem do reply.
Bhul Chuk Maaf(Editor 08:25, 21 March 2010 (UTC))
- Well it's duty of sikhs to show truth. I am going to explore some true things which were preached wrong in past few decades. The Akal Purakh ki Fauj type people might thought that Sikhs would not able to read Sarabloh Granth so they keep on posting Akal Purakh in Amrit Kreertanis. thats we call Arth da Anarth
Bhul Chuk Maaf(Editor 04:43, 22 March 2010 (UTC))
Listening
- Thanks, for correcting the article(Listening) and making it more meaningful. I am working more on this hope you will help in correcting language, and do work on Khalsa Kaal Purakh ki Fauj article. Is listening appropriate title or should it be ART of LISTENING? (Editor 16:27, 22 March 2010 (UTC))

bow down befor NISHAAN SAHIB
Sir ji,
WAKAFA,
A question from a regular orkutian in a forum in orkut sikhiwiki.
Should be bow down befor NISHAAN SAHIB? Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh I used to see most of the people in various Gurudwara Sahibs revolve around and bow down before Nishaan Sahib. Should this be done? As our gurus say we should bow down only in front of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and nothing else.
Could you tell the right answer please, kindly post in my user talk page, i will cpoy paste in orkut sikhiwiki with your reference.
Thanx. Guru Rakha,

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
- First thing topic of article is wrong, nowhere it is mentioned in Charitar that this is about King of Sirmaur. It is about King(Rai) but not Sirmaur King
- The Tale of King of Sirmaur is a historical Event from life of Guru Goind Singh. The History of Kapal Mochan shows clearly that it is related to Guru Gobind Singh. This history was agreed by all Sikh Sampardas including Akal Takhat, and it's very old history, before darshan singh entered in controversy he too saluted decision of Guru. I don't know why those lines are written their that This tale is not from the events in the Guru's life although some have projected this and related it to the period of the Guru's life in Paunta Sahib. As Guru Sahib entered some Chariters of his own life too in discussion. The Charitropakhyan showns manmatt and Gurmat, so collectively storied of guru times and older than that entered into opakhyan.
- A Gurdwara is still their in kapal mochan and is very old which is witness of this event.
(Editor 13:15, 25 March 2010 (UTC))
Of marginal interest
Hari ji, this story has a very nice 'airbrushed' portrait (really beautiful work), but politics are at the core of the story.
AW
King of Sirmaur
lol....Veer ji, when Emotions comes between then it's difficult to satisfy.
Have you read the History board of Kapal Mochan which i have uploaded for you?
Also, it is not in the style of Gurmat to "rob" someone of their property without proper due process.
This event happened because of few reasons. The people use to spoil Sarovars, by urinating around them and due to Rain all Mall Mootar comes in sarovar which was source of water to drink and same water is used in religious ceremonies. So Environmental awareness of Guru Gobind Singh made him play this Charitar. Eh Charitar Dharam vich reh ke khedya geya hai, Dharam to bahar nahi. Moreover they haven't robbed all they just removed some and maximum turbans falled in Stampede thats why turbans were washed. During that particular time guru sahib needed turban so both events happened simultaneously.
Secondly, Poetry have many flavours Veer Rass, Karuna Rass, Shingar Rass, Bhakti rass. Guru Gobind Singh was Good poet too and i think you know that. To explain GUrmat and Manmat Guru Gobind SIngh collected various stories including his too and put all them into that format.
Thirdly, In charitropakhyan there are 10 - 20 Male charitars too, If it is really explained by Mantri to King against women(Manmatti Ladies), then what those 20 Male charitars are doing there? and not all charitars about female but some are positive side too which contains Brahmgyan and Love. Guru sahib simply put whole stories to one package, Even Kekayi Charitar, Vishnu Charitar, Mohini Charitar etc. We have to think which is gurmat and which is manmatt. For that we should have Gurmat Vision and without it we will not able to interpret these charitars. The Charitar 71 is GUrmat nothing else, Gurmat vich reh ke Charitar khedna galat gal nahi and not every person can play it like GUru Gobind Singh Did.
WHat more Saboot you need(other than history board) to prove that this Charitar is related to Guru Gobind Singh?

If we will affix at top of every Charitar it would be better and will convey our message and our angle of interpretations. I want you to Kindly interpret all Stories and bring out Moral in light of Gurmat. Hope you will do so.

- Sabh Charhidi Kala he rehna chahida hai. Without 36 Mahapurkh and Patshahi 10 we could not think of truth(god). They showed us the way now it's our turn to guide ourselves. I am making 4 templates showing Numbering of charitars, we have to Do Gurmat interpretations and while writing interpretations of charitar do quote some gurmat line which could able to describe story.
English translation is not fully correct. I found much faults in translation but ya it would help you to understand concept but don't depend fully on english translation. This translation is done by Anti Dasam person so do read in punjabi and understand it.
Studies are going on, last two months and post graduation will finish. we talked on phone before 2 years, such a long time.
Veer ji what is difference between Story and Tale? Should saying Tale of King of sirmaur is right? or Charitar of King of Sirmaur is appropriate?(Lucky 16:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC))
Reading a book review
Bhai Sahib ji, Reading a book review this morning, I was surprised by the following lines--who?
Ernst also shares wonderful tidbits about the religious diversity that has long been a characteristic of Sufi culture.
Who knew, for example, that verses by Sufi poet Fariduddin Ganj-i-Shakar have been incorporated into the Sikh scripture Guru Granth Sahib?
Here the local county library will usually buy any book I request, but like the reviewer I like photos captioned. Allenwalla 15:26, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Bhai Sahib ji, this might be news worthy. One photo might be trimmed down to the top and sides of the banner - my photoshop is still not installed. the individual pictures were not captioned.
CS 5 Photo Shop, etc. is about to be released. We might update, as one new filter automatically cleans out problem areas in seconds. For instance wires in the photos of Gurdwaras could be removed in seconds - by a filter.

Kindly check the article. This was on one of charitar which was in controversy i.e Charitar_16, i have extracted Gurmat views from it. I Want you to add more and read Charitar to get more. Read Gobind Sadan Teeka, at least they have word to word pure interpretation. Please work on this article. This can be flash article. More Gurmat views should be extracted from it.

Added a link
Hari Ji, I didn't know the part about 'KALASINGAS', but I know several Aggarwals in the Atlanta area, one an elderly gentleman who I like a lot.
Surely you have seen the below site. I found it very interesting. Glad the info helped, the info on Indian legal codes was on Wikipedia. April fools joke or not, the research was its own reward.
For stomach troubles my Doctor scoped my esophagus and stomach, (hiatial hernia) - prescription meds and over the counter remedies don't work well. Nights were often spent with my heart racing and terrible chest pain, with symptoms that mimic a heart attack.
Dr. Oz, a surgeon, a surgeon with a tv show, suggested taking vinegar, - awful idea for me! But one night when I was in agony (sure felt like a heart), I opened a jar of cornichons I had purchased a year ago [1], one little pickle ended the pressure immediately. I don't remember where I purchased that jar and now I can't find them anywhere, (check the added link, above) but hey sell over the net, perhaps they might help you as well.
For someone used to Indian food, these pickles may seem tame (very sour), but I like them. Have since found another brand (Maille) but they are not as good.
Anything with grease, bothers my wife as she had to have her gall bladder removed. (trivia) The mention of ghee reminds me of Damodara (and lobsters) who was particularly fond of butter, hence the dangerous human pyramidal climb during Holi, if i remember correctly.
Every time I read a report of an attack in Damodara (now a taliban hot spot) , the name of the town reminds me that the area was once part of India. Rope around the waist, a funny name for a town. Allenwalla 09:51, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Veer Ji, We will start with charitropakhyan at main page but after few days. You have brilliantly done with gurmat meanings of Triya Charitars. I want you to firstly start With MALE's Triya Charitar, Then we will continue with Female's Triya Charitar.
some things to keep in view:
- We are here to spread Positive messages of This Bani, dur to which it was composed by guru sahib.
- We should not let any Anti Dasam to spoil gurmat interpretation for their own motives.
- I want you to check people like Sunny Singh daod who could change article anytime, like he changed bachitar natak porition and confused with Poet Shyam and all other Emotional thoughts.
- Once we finish with one charitar in every aspect(Gurmat and explanation), it would be better to lock that charitar article and give previlege to only that user which can spread gurmat message in it.
- Charitar 16,21,22,23,71 seems nearer to GUru's life but these are not as all charitars are told as past like we say stories "EK RAJA HUNDA C", same is case in charitar. moreover if these are related to guru's life then it's not a big deal because in all these charitar male character is in limit of dharma, but no where it is proved that it is related to guru's life. i will bring all saboot in near future. so treat these 5 charitar incomplete.
- keep continuing the good work with other charitars and i am gaining reading your interpretation and will add what i know.
rabb rakha(Lucky 15:39, 3 April 2010 (UTC))
Reply: Veer ji i said that i don't feel it is related to Guru, but if it is related in any sense then i would not have any problem because the character(Rai) was in limits of Dharma. I will not promote guru in those charitars but it would be better to spill out gurmat from it like you are doing.
I will create few images for all charitars, which will have lines from charitar which have relation to gurmat. The language of Charitropakhyan is not acceptable by people, as you know manmati people would stick to it's language only but we do not have to find from where greedy dog belong our aim is how greedy dog act and how we could prevent ourselves from it.
The negative point which goes against charitropakhyan is the language which is Kaam prominient, thats why i call it a test of gurmat knowledge. Some charitars are so that i could not get their conclusion(due to lack of my gurmat knowledge) but i feel now you will add gurmat to it and i am to consulting more gurmukhs who are giving gurmat morals of it. Manmukhs are sticking to just language and history of charitars(history of greedy dog) but we should not stick to it.
Find the nature of Triya(Man and woman) in Triya Charitars and give message accordingly.
We have to work on Bachitar Natak too. It's totally gurmat based Natak but some guys are playing with our emotions to show wrong image of natak. I am working on main article of charitropakhyan. Do you feel that we should write Anti Charitropakhyan's view on this bani in main article or not?(Lucky 17:51, 3 April 2010 (UTC))
Again Reply: veer ji if we will create an anti article we will also considered as confuse platform in case of Charitropakhyan. In Main article we have Gurmat Description of Charitropakhayan and i am coming with more in few days. but if we will create an anti article it will makes anti people to visit the website and they blindly add much more which can confuse a begginer to sikhism. What we should do is to promote Gurmat knowledge. You have already given a bit anti description in beggining of article and thats enough. As we know few charitars are not historically correct and even linguistic problem is their but this all is for manmukhs we have not to go in history of these charitars. We have to take guidance of story. Now you tell if i will ask name of GREEDY dog in story The Greedy Dog, will you tel? It may happen may not, we should concern with moral to improve our character. Such Charitropakhyan will not harm you(Gurmukh) but it can harm youth easily because youth are most Kaamuk. They can easily go to wrong way thats why prerequisite is Guru granth, i am surprised how Darshan Singh's Vashna came out of him??
For us Rai is King rite now, we will learn more and will come to conclusion ourselves. Moreover sir one more thing if RAI means king guru gobind singh, then i think he was not any king. Rai of Anandpur was king of kahloor as anandpur as under king of kahloor. what you think?
words: You know There is no Ashleel word in dictionary of Doctor. For doctor eyes, ear, nose, abdomen, penis and toe all are same. He can discuss all words easily about pregnancy issue to sex related stuff. Our doctor is God and his Bhagats mera vaid guru govinda. in realm of god there is no Ashleel word, tere is no society, but it is difficult to convince anti dasam people. So better we convince ourslef. Sab kich ghar mei
Me upload Purakh charitar in few days and you have to find moral, what i will have i will upload.

How are you hope everything is fine. My internet was not working since friday, actually at home i have internet connection of reliance and their connection frquently got disconnect. Yesterday and day before it was not working at all.
I am happy that this is first website which is actually giving gurmat interpretations of dasam granth. Even you are finding TATT of Kalki avtar, i am behind you sir go on,,,,
Sir i was working on Baudh Avtar. I contacted gurmukhs and asked about this Avtar, they said me to read it carefully when i read it, i found it actually points not only to Siddarth Gautam Buddha but it is pointing to all those are preaching the TRUE god's message. If you are finding truth and you get JANAM PADARATH, you too are Baudh Avtar.
as i said before GUru Gobind Singh have changed whole Hindu Dictionary to Gurmat Dictionary so we have to apply Gurmat Dictionary on DASAM Bani, we could not apply Brahmin's dictionary on it. Kindly read the article and if any problem then please discuss and do the required corrections and additions.Incarnation 23
I will study Kalki avtar but after studying MACH, KACH etc avtars. Mach is not any FISH as in hindus and KACH is not any tortoise, these all are GUrmat words and only gurmat dictionary will give it's meaning.
I am giving all lines from Adi granth and Dasam Granth too to support views. GUru Granth Sahib says ""SODHE SIMRIT SHASHTAR SAGAL". Here in dasam granth GUru Gobind SIngh actually done it thoroughly, he cleaned Markandya Purana, Bhagwad Purana, Shiv Purana etc and gave esssence of these purans by applying gurmat methodology on them.
i was thinking why Hindu Kings were so against GUru Gobind Singh, this might be one of reasons like he says in 33 swaiyey in dasam bani:: "KAHE KO PAHAN(stone) POJAT HAI PASHU(Animal) PAHAN MEI PAREMSAR NAHI...
Dasam Granth Index: Sir you have put Brahm Avtar and Rudra Avtar under 24 Avtar, i think these are seperate banis??
read Chandi Charitar Ukat(i) Bilas, the first 10 lines will give you clear information about CHANDI. will see kalki avtar soon. Take care (Lucky 18:02, 11 April 2010 (UTC))

ki haal e?
Veer ji i was studying Guru Granth Sahib, people use to question about previous Incarnation of Guru Gobind Singh. I found some information about Guru Arjun Dev:
ਚਾਰਿ ਕੰਟ ਦਹ ਦਿਸਿ ਭਰਮਿਓ ਤਿਸ ਬਿਨ ਅਵਰ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
I wandered around the four corners of the world and in the ten directions, but I saw nothing except Him.
ਬੇਦ ਪਰਾਨ ਸਿਮਰਿਤਿ ਸਨੇ ਬਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਕਰਉ ਬੀਚਾਰ ॥
I listened to the Vedas, the Puraanas and the Simritees, and I pondered over them in so many ways.
The above i feel is not this incarnation of Guru, as history records say that Guru Arjun Dev never read vedas moreover they haven't gone in all directions. Guru Ji also said:
ਗਉੜੀ ਗਆਰੇਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

We are united with You, when You unite us with Yourself.
ਕਹ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਗਣ ਗਾਇ ॥੪॥੩॥੭੨॥
Says Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||4||3||72||
If you will read in punjabi you will find the Guru Sahib is telling about himself, in english translation writer just wrote word (YOU), but these words ਹੋਇਓ ॥, ਜੋਇਓ ॥੧॥, ਕਰਿਆ ॥ etc. are used when person is telling about himself. Here Guru Arjun Dev ji is telling that he faced transmigration and took many form and in this birth he is able to attain god.
Ehde te veechar karo, because this salok is not pointing toward anyone(you or me) but here he is telling about himself. VEECHAR PESH KARO (Lucky 21:52, 14 April 2010 (UTC))
("humanity towards others")
Sardar ji, we were reading of a new calf. vegetarian restaurant called ubutu, today mera wife came across a reference to an operating system. We had not heard the word before, wondering what it meant we looked it up.
Here are a few links - possibly of marginal interest - Ubuntu reminding me of sarbat da bhala.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(philosophy)
http://www.2010travelinfo.com/index.php/2010-info/sa-slang / this is an interesting vocabulary - a veritable masala of differing languages- > definition of ubuntu - Southern African humanist philosophy that holds as its central tenet that a person is a person through other persons. (See box on the right above.)
This reminded me of the - it takes a village.
Rab Rakha, aw
from one page - Meaning
Archbishop Desmond Tutu offered a longer definition in a 1999 book:[1]
| A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. |
Archbishop Desmond Tutu further explained Ubuntu in 2008:
| One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity.
We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity. |
This may, of course, remind you of Sikhi
Re. questions over Langar at Golden Temple page
I made some edits to the article - but
"Loh langar tapde rahin" (may the hot plates of the langar remain ever in service).
This translation makes one think that hot plates (little electric cookers I used in my dorm room at college) are used to cook the meals in the Harmandar Sahib Langar. With the little Punjabi I can read - I would translate this - May the iron (cauldons) of the Langar always be hot (cooking food) or (in service).
Also the first part of the sentence below is confusing:
Aashima Seth Captured on film Belgian filmmakers, Valerie Berteau and Philippe Witjes were so impressed with the langar at the Darbar Sahib that they made a documentary film on it.
However, the part below makes sense.
Belgian filmmakers, Valerie Berteau and Philippe Witjes were so impressed with the langar at the Darbar Sahib that they made a documentary film on it.
Hope this makes sense.

hot plates
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGif4PWNFMc
I remember the huge griddles now, as seen in the above video, but even griddles here are only 2x4 ft at most. Maybe = may the iron plates of the Langar always be hot. They seem to be at least 4x5 feet.
or use the translation as is - adding - actually the hot plates of the langar are iron sheets over 4 x 5 ft in size - they are so large that a man is has to sit at each size to flip the (chapattis)?
I don't know the metric measurements.

Sat Sri Akal
Kee haal hai veer ji kimey chal reha hai sabh?
i have added more details in Charitar 16, incl. controversial part. People say it's related to Guru Gobind Singh but no where in charitar it's written, kindly check article and add necessory additions and correct gramattical mistakes. Once we complete with an article i want you to kindly protect this article. i am quoting few Guru Granth Sahib's lines which will be more supportable.
(Lucky 17:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC))
Guru de kirpa-da naal, sabe chardikala-ch vaas raah-han. I have made a start on the article but due to a wedding of a relation this weekend, I will have to finish this in the next few days. The article looks very good; you have done a most excellent work on this; congratulations and well done.
It must be one of the best articles on this Bani. I hope many will read and learn from the clear message given by the Guru - how to be stubborn about following the path of Dharam and not to be weak and submit to our passions!
Veer ji, real dedication by you to create the graphics and spend many many hours on refining the article; I think this will become a landmark article of the series. Many thanks and kind regards, Guru ang sang rava,
- Thanks Veer ji, it's with help of Gurmat, and your help in creating article. My next project is the controversial one i.e Charitar 21, i have read the charitar many times. Many many many Gurmat teachings came out of it, philosphically. but historically, as you know all anti dasam relate it with gobind singh ji.
What do you think is this charitar related to Guru Gobind Singh own life? Please read all facts before replying.(Anandpur, Naina Devi ,Bank of Satluj, Sikh Shakha) etc. It's but confusing search is on. (Lucky 16:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC))
Sardar ji, Please check changes to page on Harbinder Singh Rana; by Jangbeer Singh. I wonder if he would advocate a set of sandwich boards for Mr. Singh Rana to wear about daily. thanks aw
further research
re. new message
Sardar ji, Please check changes to page on Harbinder Singh Rana; by Jangbeer Singh. I wonder if he would advocate a set of sandwich boards for Mr. Singh Rana to wear about daily. thanks aw
I have moved and altered the above edits. Since this is very old news, I added a new section at bottom titled Old News and left out the 'salacious' details.
Covering a murder trial years ago as a court artist for NBC, I was shocked to see how many people showed up in the court room, just to hear the sexual contents recited. It seems to me that we forgive people for murder but sex crimes would still earn a big Scarlet letter across a forehead (usually a woman's) if some people had their way.
Seeing the details added again, I took the time to see who had started this. As we know jangbir can be a real or takhallus name. So looking back to 2002 the Sikh Secretariat was mentioned, their website seems to be gone, but a Dabinderjit Singh seemed to be in charge and was listed as the spokesman in the old news stories.
Looking up that name, starts one down a sticky road. [3] if one is to believe this story it seems that glorifying terrorist murder is ok, but Mr. Rana's crime is another thing. Now I will have to find out how it was ok to blow up an air liner - who did it and why.
Gur Fateh, Rab Rakha, Allenwalla 17:03, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks
Since it seemed this would be added repeatedly - i added the section OLD NEWS and put it at the end, i prefer your solution - you could also delete the two pages I added as I could find little on the man who raised the issue in 2002 and the organization seems to be defunct.
Rab Rakha, - aw
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Respected Sir,
I have uploaded some text from Dasam Granth. I think you confused it with Chaubis Avtar. It's not from Chaubis avtar but Brahma Avtar, which is different bani and is not part of Chaubis Avtar. There are three Avtaars description in Dasam Granth - Chobis Avtar(24), Brahma Avtar(7) and Rudra Avtar(2). Kindly Revert back those. If we will keep topic name as -> incarnation 1, incarnation 2 and so on, then it would be a confusion, it would be bettwe if we keep title of Avtar as topic name like ath Brahma avtar Shukra kathan or related to it like shukracharya or shukra etc. May god bless you.
