How to become Pure?
Kiv Sachearya Hoyiiye,Kiv Koode Tutai Paal
Hukam Rajaayee Challna Nanak Likheya Naal
Follow his order u will become Pure , All ur evils will be disspelled
So What is his order (Hukam)?
How to understand that?
See Haume jis din chaddi te tuhanu sab Gyaan hojjoo..
Like I give u example.. You hav knowledge of some subject. And someone is telling u smthing about that subject.. But u are not listening him .."coz u think u know more than him.
Same is this whole Universe is giving u all thing. God is so near to u. But we are not getting that thing 'coz of our ego . It is ego which is cause of our seperation. "coz of this thing we think of ourself as a different person and are not able to merge in Him.
When this ego gone.One merges in Him .
In Sikhism it is order of Guru's not to leave Gharist(ur first option).
That is we have to do our duty.
But told us to remember God each and every time. That is we should do Naam Simran then our soul will be free . Or that Naam is so much Immaculate that even if u have taken that even a Single time u will meet God.
When you read Guru Granth Sahib ji.
Whole Guru Granth Sahib ji teaching to do "Naam Simran"
and says
"Awar Kaaj Tere Kite Naa Kaam
Mil Sadh Sangat Bhaj Kewal Naam"
Guru ji says with this Karma (Social work,like teaching being father ,Husband wife u will obtain only and only easiness in ur life or things which are usefull in this world like Money,Happiness,etc etc.)
But to Meet God u need to do Naam Simran.
"Karmi Aawe Kapra
Nadri Mokh Duaar"
Means with ur wordly works like being a Father,Mother,student u will attain
Kapra(this bod) ......like in next birth u will get that type of (if it happens)
Like in family which are u born(In rich or poor)....according to UR this Karma
"Nadri Mokh Duaar"
means ur soul will be satisfied if he sees u with Love.
Or You have to Do Naam Simran for that.
Without Naam Simran if u says that only by fullfilling ur responsibilities u will meet God.
Then Guru says it is false. These things will be left here only. And u will get social status according to dis Karma
But Not God. For meeting God u need to Love him. Do Naam Simran
this is philosophy of Sikhism
Means what Guru says is you have to leave hope in midist in the hope.
You are ordered to live Gharist(Married or social life)
But you have not to indulge in this.
In ur mind only hope of God should be there.
And u have to do Naam Simran to meet God. Without Naam Simran u r not liberated .
Means u hve to become Yogi while living Gharist Life.
Like take example of Bhagat Kabeer ji married ,But spent whole life in praising God.
All ten Guru's married but like Yogis . They spent whole life in praising God.
"Shiri Krishan ji lived married life but havn't done Naam Simran ...or praising God all the time"
also Ram ji...they lived Gharist(Married) life . But not done such things.
But Guru's kept praising God Naam Simran(somewhat like meditation) while they also lived social(married life ,all were having children).
They were working like Guru Nanak did Farming. So like that they ordered Sikh to do.
Guru Nanak earned by farming and then used that money to serving poor people . He did work by his hands. Along with that he kept praising Lord all the time. Meditating on God whole day night. Doing Keertan.
Also made other people to meditate on Lord.
now Why Naam Simran?
And what is Naam Simran?
Actually what Guru ji says is without "Naam Simran"
even if u try you are not able to get rid of five evils.
Even you can see Yogis while they are living life which is not Gharist but they still have these Evils in mind.
Like Ahankar(ego) etc they remain still in them by leaving Gharist you can't control them.
To control those things u need to do Naam Simran that is praising him day night with every breath. 'coz Mukti is when u control these evils and become pure.

Ok lets share with example from Gurubani about Naam Simran
ਰਹਤ ਅਵਰ ਕਛੁ ਅਵਰ ਕਮਾਵਤ ॥
रहत अवर कछु अवर कमावत ॥
He says one thing, and does something else.
ਮਨਿ ਨਹੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਮੁਖਹੁ ਗੰਢ ਲਾਵਤ ॥
मनि नही प्रीति मुखहु गंढ लावत ॥
There is no love in his heart, and yet with his mouth he talks tall.
ਜਾਨਨਹਾਰ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਪਰਬੀਨ ॥
जाननहार प्रभू परबीन ॥
The Omniscient Lord God is the Knower of all.
ਬਾਹਰਿ ਭੇਖ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਭੀਨ ॥
बाहरि भेख न काहू भीन ॥
He is not impressed by outward display.
ਅਵਰ ਉਪਦੇਸੈ ਆਪਿ ਨ ਕਰੈ ॥
अवर उपदेसै आपि न करै ॥
One who does not practice what he preaches to others,
ਆਵਤ ਜਾਵਤ ਜਨਮੈ ਮਰੈ ॥
आवत जावत जनमै मरै ॥
shall come and go in reincarnation, through birth and death.
ਜਿਸ ਕੈ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਬਸੈ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੁ ॥
जिस कै अंतरि बसै निरंकारु ॥
Jis kai anṯar basai nirankār.
One whose inner being is filled with the Formless Lord -
ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਸੀਖ ਤਰੈ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ॥
तिस की सीख तरै संसारु ॥
by his teachings, the world is saved.

Re: sikhism
Wed Feb 18, 2009 6:49 am
Now three points I am getting from above line
ਰਹਤ ਅਵਰ ਕਛੁ ਅਵਰ ਕਮਾਵਤ ॥
रहत अवर कछु अवर कमावत ॥
He says one thing, and does something else.
ਮਨਿ ਨਹੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਮੁਖਹੁ ਗੰਢ ਲਾਵਤ ॥
मनि नही प्रीति मुखहु गंढ लावत ॥
There is no love in his heart, and yet with his mouth he talks tall.
ਜਾਨਨਹਾਰ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਪਰਬੀਨ ॥
जाननहार प्रभू परबीन ॥
The Omniscient Lord God is the Knower of all.
ਬਾਹਰਿ ਭੇਖ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਭੀਨ ॥
बाहरि भेख न काहू भीन ॥
He is not impressed by outward display.
This is like we recite his name by tongue but something else is going on in our mind. But Guru ji says that God knows what is inside our mind . So he is not pleased by outer recitation only.
Now Second point I am getting is
ਅਵਰ ਉਪਦੇਸੈ ਆਪਿ ਨ ਕਰੈ ॥
अवर उपदेसै आपि न करै ॥
One who does not practice what he preaches to others,
ਆਵਤ ਜਾਵਤ ਜਨਮੈ ਮਰੈ ॥
आवत जावत जनमै मरै ॥
shall come and go in reincarnation, through birth and death.
Guru ji says that who teaches others but not follows those things. He takes birth and dies again and again.
3rd point I am getting is
ਜਿਸ ਕੈ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਬਸੈ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੁ ॥
जिस कै अंतरि बसै निरंकारु ॥
Jis kai anṯar basai nirankār.
One whose inner being is filled with the Formless Lord -
ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਸੀਖ ਤਰੈ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ॥
तिस की सीख तरै संसारु ॥
by his teachings, the world is saved.
ਜੋ ਤੁਮ ਭਾਨੇ ਤਿਨ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਜਾਤਾ ॥
जो तुम भाने तिन प्रभु जाता ॥
Those who are pleasing to You, God, know You.
ਨਾਨਕ ਉਨ ਜਨ ਚਰਨ ਪਰਾਤਾ ॥੭॥
नानक उन जन चरन पराता ॥७॥
Nanak falls at their feet. ||7||
Guru ji says but the person who has realised the God. When he teaches someone ,with his teachings whole world is saved.
And Guru ji says only those realize you who are pleasing you.
And I falls in their feet
I comes in this category of people
Now Second point I am getting is
ਅਵਰ ਉਪਦੇਸੈ ਆਪਿ ਨ ਕਰੈ ॥
अवर उपदेसै आपि न करै ॥
One who does not practice what he preaches to others,
ਆਵਤ ਜਾਵਤ ਜਨਮੈ ਮਰੈ ॥
आवत जावत जनमै मरै ॥
shall come and go in reincarnation, through birth and death.
Guru ji says that who teaches others but not follows those things. He takes birth and dies again and again.
Re: sikhism
Wed Sep 22, 2010 11:27 pm
Here is a very beautifull Shabad by Guru Arjun Dev, in which it is very clearly described the above present topic on Sikhism.
Only that much would be really good to know and understand, that as far as things in material universe are confined and related, there is diversity, there is variety, just as Zaat, Paat, Country, land, language, religions, class systems, etc...But as far as Spirituality is concerned, just as our Gurus´have taught us, God is one, and the way leading to Him has naturally to be one. If we say Wahiguru Ka khalsa....which means the Khalsa belongs to Wahiguru. But then what about the rest of the mankind....are they not created by Wahiguru? Do they not belong to Him? Do we have to voice Him our love, faith or devotion? Are we concerned with Him, (who knows even our thoughts before they are created), or with the world, just to show off how religious we are? Whom do we want to impress, Him, or the world? That is why our Gurus taught us the real method of realizing, of comunication with Him, through Nam Simran. This a the real job of a so called sikh, it requires purity, and strength(will power) to conquer our real enemy: the mind, Outwardly we may dress and behave in any manner, all is going to be left here, in that spiritual realm, we do not have any caps, shirts, or trousers, or any physicall outfit or hair stlye, neither language...nothing of that sort...we are pure souls, means consciouss beings. It is a pity, that ours is a beautiful culture,and the teachings of our Gurus´are of the highest level in every way...and we are so misled, so confused...so manipulated by ignorants.
Regarding the rest of the world, It is a different thing if they are not consscious about Him...each and every individual´s karmas, sanskaras play a strong role moulding one´s destiny; not everbody is destined to believe or have faith in Him, and that is stated at quite a various places even in the Granth Sahib.
That is why it is stated: Sabna jeea ka, iko Daata...
One universal Lord...for the whole creation, be it may a sikh, christian, muslim, jew...etc.
All religions if traced, there is time, when they came into existence. But the Lord God, of which our Gurus tell us, is since Aad Sach, Jugad Sach, Hae Bee Sach, Nank Ho see bee Sach, means, when even nothing was created, no skies, suns, moons, stars, devis, devtas, gods,maya, man(mind), kal etc... Only He existed. It is that Wahiguru, which our Gurus, teach us to worship, and make Him known to man, (us); otherwise we limited human beings, with our senses and mind, how were we, to even think of Him? It is just His grace, His Daya Meher, His bakshish, sorry no other way.
In the begining of the JapJi Sahib it is said: Iko Onkar, Satnam
There is one and only one Lord, and His real Name(Nam) is Satnam.
The beauty , purity and heights of their teachings are of the highest ranks from any point of view, wihtout any paralell.
Below is just a sample, in a simple and clear manner, of what has been stated above.
ga-orhee sukhmanee mehlaa 5.
Gauree Sukhmani, Fifth Mehl.
satgur sikh kee karai partipaal.
The True Guru cherishes His Sikh.
sayvak ka-o gur sadaa da-i-aal.
The Guru is always merciful to His servant.
sikh kee gur durmat mal hirai.
The Guru washes away the filth of the evil intellect of His Sikh.
gur bachnee har naam uchrai.
Through the Guru's Teachings, he chants the Lord's Name.
satgur sikh kay banDhan kaatai.
The True Guru cuts away the bonds of His Sikh.
gur kaa sikh bikaar tay haatai.
The Sikh of the Guru abstains from evil deeds.
satgur sikh ka-o naam Dhan day-ay.
The True Guru gives His Sikh the wealth of the Naam.
gur kaa sikh vadbhaagee hay.
The Sikh of the Guru is very fortunate.
satgur sikh kaa halat palat savaarai.
The True Guru arranges this world and the next for His Sikh.
naanak satgur sikh ka-o jee-a naal samaarai. ||1||
O Nanak, with the fullness of His heart, the True Guru mends His Sikh. ||1||
Re: sikhism
Sun Mar 13, 2011 12:32 am
Sikhism is a science, is a philosophy, a way of life, which deals mainly on the objective, which is none other than Wahiguru Akal Purukh. And this pure and noble objective, viewd from any angle, is the only worthy purpose of man.
Why is is it so?
Because, anything apart from it, is fake,is transitory, is perishable, and is thus chaining oneself to pain and suffering, which means to continue in the wheel of eighty four, or in the unescable cycle of births and deaths.
Wahiguru Akal Purukh, is the fountain of real and everlasting peace, joy and happiness... not only that, but also of the real knowledge.
One has not to be a scholar, or a Phd in religion, neither of any particular caste, creed, color or nationality, nor of any economic status. Spirituality or ruhaniyat has nothing to do with it. What counts is only love and devotion for Him. No rituals, no pilgrimages, no bathing in any sacred waters, no candles or lamps, no fasting....nothing of that sort. These are only outer forms of a lower worship, which leads us no where, but instead feeds our ego, as if we have done something good or important; but the fact is we are misled by our mind, our manmukhta, without even moving an inch self in spirituality or ruhaniyat.
For that, a definete method has to de practiced, nothing more nor less. Becasuse that method is not man made; so naturally mind is not involved. Though mind may rebel up to our last breath and shake us, but we have to persist and stick to it, as in it, lies our real welfare, and will show our Gurmukhta, and in the end the victory will be ours.
The battle of the battles will only be won then, not otherwise. Since the soul left Satnam´s abode: Sach Khand, since inmemorial times; it has been wandering restlessly, in the creation of Kal ,maya and "man"= mind, in all the species of lives.
So now is our chance. As it is said in the bani: bhai parapat manukh dehuriya, Gobind milan kee yeh teri bahriya. So, let us make the right and maximmum use of this golden opportunity, to merge back in our origin: Satnam.
As said above, for that a definite method is needed and practiced continously, which is the true essence of sikhism, and that is given to us by our Gurus, as Gurprasad, as Nam Simran. And to illustrate it, some bani is taken for this purpose:
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਿਓ ਅੰਤਿ ਲਏ ਛਡਾਈ
naanak naam n chaethiou anth leae shhaddaaee
O Nanak, the mortal does not even think of the Name, which shall deliver him in the end.
ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿਆ ਕਿਆ ਜਪੁ ਜਾਪਹਿ ਹੋਰਿ
jinhee naam visaariaa kiaa jap jaapehi hor
Those who forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord - so what if they chant other chants?
ਬਿਸਟਾ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਕੀਟ ਸੇ ਮੁਠੇ ਧੰਧੈ ਚੋਰਿ ॥
bisattaa andhar keett sae muthae dhhandhhai chor
They are maggots in manure, plundered by the thief of worldly entanglements.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਵੀਸਰੈ ਝੂਠੇ ਲਾਲਚ ਹੋਰਿ
naanak naam n veesarai jhoothae laalach hor
O Nanak, never forget the Naam; greed for anything else is false.
ਨਾਮੁ ਸਲਾਹਨਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮੰਨਿ ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਜਗਿ ਸੋਈ
naam salaahan naam mann asathhir jag soee
Those who praise the Naam, and believe in the Naam, are eternally stable in this world
(here praising means, Nam Simran, Nam abhyaas, Nam Bhakti, and its fruits are clearly mentioned in the lines below)
ਹਿਰਦੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਚਿਤਵੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਈ
hiradhai har har chithavai dhoojaa nehee koee
Within their hearts, they dwell on the Lord, and nothing else at all.
ਰੋਮਿ ਰੋਮਿ ਹਰਿ ਉਚਰੈ ਖਿਨੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਸੋਈ
rom rom har oucharai khin khin har soee
With each and every hair, they chant the Lord's Name, each and every instant, the Lord.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਸਕਾਰਥਾ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਮਲੁ ਖੋਈ
guramukh janam sakaarathhaa niramal mal khoee
The birth of the Gurmukh is fruitful and certified; pure and unstained, his filth is washed away.
(We can clearly see by this the importance of Nam Simran... Wahiguru Himself is obtained.... But what do we manmukhs do instead? We fight and cut the throats of those who do not think like us, we want to live and fight for a piece of land, property, as we are going to live forever in this world. Please let us do a little justice to oursrelves, and follow literally the simple truths of our Gurus, which liberate us, and not the cruelty and agyanta of the manipulators, which makes us run after the shadows instead of the Fountain of light: Wahiguru Akal Purukh. Let us not forget, we all live according to our pralabdh karmas, which nobody can alterate... we shall not get nothing less nor more than what is stored for us, then why waste time after worldly objects... which chain us to this creation with more force. Are we not stupids? But yes, one thing we can do and that is Nam Simran, which will remove all our agyanta, and wash the filth of all our karmas, make us purer, and fit to merge in Akal Purush, and this wealth of Nam, the more we amass it, the more it benefits us in every way, and is the true wealth which the soul can take it with itself, and is going to be our saviour in this world as in the next one, that is why it is said in the bani: eh loke, parloke, sang sahaaee.... )
ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀਵਦਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਅਮਰਾ ਪਦੁ ਹੋਈ
naanak jeevadhaa purakh dhhiaaeiaa amaraa padh hoee
O Nanak, meditating on the Lord of eternal life, the status of immortality is obtained.
ਜਿਨੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿਆ ਬਹੁ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵਹਿ ਹੋਰਿ
jinee naam visaariaa bahu karam kamaavehi hor
Those who forget the Naam and do other things,
ਨਾਨਕ ਜਮ ਪੁਰਿ ਬਧੇ ਮਾਰੀਅਹਿ ਜਿਉ ਸੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੀ ਉਪਰਿ ਚੋਰ
naanak jam pur badhhae maareeahi jio sannhee oupar chor
O Nanak, will be bound and gagged and beaten in the City of Death, like the thief caught red-handed.
(Here we can clearly see once again, that, any other activity, than not doing Nam Simran, is going to hand us in the court of Kal, where we shall be judged for wasting our precious time of this human birth, and going to be beaten untill we turn red and blue, which means continue in the endless painfull cycles of births and deaths.)
We may do whatever we want, dress or behave in anyway we may think that it makes us proud of the land, culture or country where we are born, but according to the real teachings of our Gurus, we may take any bani....only Nam is Sach, and to achieve it, and become one with it, is the essence of any true religion, and in this case it applies to sikhism.
Re: sikhism
Mon Aug 29, 2011 8:00 am
sikhism is not following rituals. it is not not just another religion. sikhism is a path to follow to enlightment that only a follower or a enlightned person has experienced.
it is not mere reading Guru Granth Sahib ji, not mere keeping truban. no limited to following Five Ks. all these are the the first layer of sikhism
there are three layers that human beeing operates at
1. Body
2. Mind
3. Soul
each layer has its own importance.however sikhism starts from soul. sikhism transforms a human beeing into a healthy body. mind and a AWAKENED SOUL. sikhism takes one from mortality to imortality. from darkness of inorance to light of Bramh Gyan. from false to truth.
having said that whatever we are doing in name of sikhism today is only operating at first layer . and in fact now a days some have disobeyed the first layer as well..what we see today is the polluted or diluted form of Sikhism.
the most important and pivital role here is at the third layer. that is soul. this is the building block of sikhism. ATTMA GYAN.that helps you to
control your weavering MIND. and 5Ks dress up your body.
Attma gyan is the bulding block of sikhism. that is why sikh is some time called as "GYANI". but now a days. Gyan and Gyani are just words in SIkhism now a days.
we read Granth and follow what we like about it. most of our community does not even read GGS ji. they just bow their head and come back home
do what they like. do what they want.
no-one cares what bani says. we to go GuruDwaras when we are in need. when we are in trouble or in pain. and no one is keen to discover the
let us look word SIKHISM. this means beeing follower of a Guru. or Shishya. becouse you can not get attma gyan without a guru
"Bhai re GURU binu Gyan Na hoye. pucchho Bramhe, naarade Vedvyasse koi"
Let me talk a little bit about Attma Gyana. Attma gyan is a process or or technique by which you see. realize the Attma Tattwa. within this body. when
you meet a guru. a satguru a true Saadu, they open your devine eye (dassma Dwar) and you see the devine light withing you. you hear Anhad Naad. you
get the holy nector (amrit) from withing this Body.and you experience the UNSPOKEN Name of lord.
Attma gyan sometimes called as Bramha Gyan is Experience of CHAR PADARTHA within this body.
1. Devine LIght (divya prakash that you see with the devine eye )
"Kaho nanak yeh netra aandh se, Satguru Mileya divya Drishti Hoye"
2. Anhad naad. or Dhurki Baabi
"kahu nanak jis satguru Poora, Baje tis ke Anhad Toora"
"Sahaj gufa main aasan Bandheya, JYOTI SAWROOP, Anhad baajeya
Satgur Moko Har Naam Diviya, ... Suno loka main prem ras paya .."
3. Naam
Naam i am reffering to or sage or masters or incranations of past have talked about is not in words.
bani says "AJJAPA JAAP". that is unspoken Name. you experience that shabad within you
"shabade Dharti Shabade dharti Shabde Sahabd bhaya Pragash"
4. Amrit (holy nector)
in thr upper part of our head. there is a Kamal.when you meet the a true master of time.when you get attma gyan in the deep meditation
with attma gyan the Kamal develpos and from that kamal you get holy nector
"Ulat kamal amtir bahriya. yeh man katuh na jaaye
Ajjapa Jaap na visre. aaad jugad samaye "
how are we gyani or sikh wihout attma gyan ?
My Brothers and sisters we have this oppetrunity to attain Bramha gyan from the ture master of time and take our future in the right direction. Sikhism
starts with beeing sikh and ataining attma gyan
Without Bramha Gyan you can not practice control over mind. and if your mind is not in control you are MANMUKH and NOT GURMUKH
"Mundh mudhaye, jata sir baandhe. maun rahe Abhivamana"
Manva dole. dwesh sataya Bin TATTWA ATMA GYANA "
Re: sikhism
Thu Oct 13, 2011 10:14 pm
Like as it is said, one light, many lamps. So in that way Wahiguru Akal Purukh is only one and the highest being, worthy of our love and devtion, who is present in each one of us. As it is said: Aad Sach, Jugad Sach, Hae Bee Sach, Nanak Hosee bee Sach. And as the bani says: Ik Onkar... which means He is only one. So this means, He is the primal being, everything else(creation) is His projection,He is truth so He is everlasting,He is the doer of everything, He is beyond births and deaths, He is fearless and without enemies... all this, is His mahima in the mool mantra. He is beyond the boundaries of, intellect, mind & maya. He is so great that no matter how much you go on praising Him, even then, it will be not more than a mustard seed.
Have we ever thought, how did we ever came to know about Him?
It is all His greatness, by coming to our level in the human form, like all our Gurus, so that we could come to know about our origin, about Him, and to pour all our hearts, minds and bodies with love and devotion at His lotus feet.
This sounds good and somehow similar to what other religions say. But there is a vast difference between sikhi and mostly other religions.
This also we know, not because we are gyanis, but because our Gurus, said that apart from the Highest Akal Purukh, there are some inferior levels of energies or level of consciouseness, which are engaged in the functioning of the creation, like the devis , devtas , angels...etc, to whom the humans worship. This all, is a trap of Kal, to keep going on his triloki creation, by deluding the poor souls in it. So by worshipping these lower entities, one remains in the chaurasee ka chakkar, as these are under the domain of mind, maya and Kal.
Now, here comes the main difference between sikhi and the orthodox or ritualistics religions. This is Nam or Shabad. This Shabad is the true nature of Wahiguru or Satnam, it is this Power, which our Gurus taught us to worship, and nothing else in order to attain salvation by merging our souls in It. Because it is Akal, means beyond the reach of Kal, so at is said : jaisa dhiyaiye taisa hoiyeh, which means as you meditate upon so you become. So through Nam Simran, by meditating upon that Primal Power, we reach there and thus become free. Otherwise, by worshipping any other entity apart from Satnam, at most one reaches Swarg, Baikunth or Heaven. And then when one´s stock of good karmas comes to an end, one falls down ion the creation again. But by worshipping that Primal Being, call it Shabad, Nam or Satnam, Wahiguru or even Akal Purukh, which is an level of highest consciousness or consciouss energy, which is beyond the description of words, it has nothing to do with words. In the begining there were no languages, so that does not mean He did not exist. We are concerned with that power, that energy, that ocean of bliss. Words are different in different languages, but we should be concerned with the essence. What does SATNAM means?
Satnam means, that primal power, which is Nam, is Sat, which means beyond changes, beyond births and deaths, so it is everlasing, it is eternal.
Now we huamans are nobody to understand His hukum, His mauj. It is up to Him, where He appears and when He appears.But the common factor in everytime He comes, is that He will not talk anything to divert or distract our minds, He wil not come with anyting new. He will only give us, the parchar, the mahima, the essence of Nam or Shabad.
And of this we have examples, not many, but some well known by all of us. Like our Gurus, and as in the Guru Granth Sahib also, we have the banis of Kabir Sahib, Guru Ravidas.... others like sant Tukaram, Paltu Sahib...... all of them if we pay attention were not sikhs, were of different parts geographically, in time and in space, but they all had one common factor, they preached the worship of only the one truth Nam or Shabad, we can read their banis or teachings, and see it by ourselves.
Of this Shabad, our bani says:
Shabade dharti Shabade Akash,
Shabade Shabad hoa parkash,
sagli Shrishti Shabad ke paache,
Nanak, Shabad ghate ghat achay
This means: Shabad created the earth, Shabad created the sky, from Shabd cometh all light. The whole world reseth on Shabad. O Nanak, and this Shabd is present in all human beings(everywhere).
And regarding the true meaning of Amrit, Guru Amar Das in Sri Raag says the following words: Amrit Sacha Nam hae, kahina kachhu najai. Pivat hu parvan bhaya poore Shabad samaiye.
Which means: Nectar(Amrit) is the True Name(Nam), but what can we say of it? Whosoever drinketh, he alone knoweth who merges himself completely in the Shabad. We clearly see how our Gurus do not make any distinctions of caste, creed or class. They say whosoever(wadbhagee) drinks the Amrit of Nam within himself,( which Wahiguru has kept inside in eah one of us, in equal amount, for each and every soul) becomes inmortal like Nam itself. So the issue of Sach Khand, is quite clear in the previous words of Guru Sahiban.
And as we have also read : Sach Khand vasay Nirankar, so if we want to reach there, (whosever it may be, black, white, yellow, ...tall , short, poor , rich. east, west, nort or south,...etc), we have to drink the Amrit of Nam(through Nam Simran)
The whole Guru Granth Sahib and the teachings of the Gurmukhs, is nothing, but an elaboration to explain us humans, that which is so simple, but we tend complicate it, and that is :
Ik Onkar, Satnam. He is the only one Lord, and His Nam, is everlasting and changeless truth.
Re: sikhism

The main purpose of each and every being is to get graduation from this creation and go back home, to Sach Khand.
Just as if a child is registered in a well known school which has the best teachers, and goes there uniformed, with the bag full of books also, plays and eats in the recess....but does not pay any attention to what the teacher teaches, neither does the homework, but is very attentive to other things like, the walls of the school and class with the maps and drawings and the blackboard on them(temples, gurdwaras, churches, etc)... then when he goes to the library, he is fascinated with the great number of books there, but never makes any attempts to see and do what is written in them,then at the end of the day, comes back home and says to his parents: the school is quite spacious, the teachers are very good, I talk to them, and play and do all sort of activities(fastings, pilgrimages, penances, jap, tap, idol worship, etc).....
This is in reality the picture all of us.
We have the best school
; we are uniformed, proudly dressed like in our traditionally khalsa style, there is nothing wrong or good in doing so, we are born in a certain community, we have to follow the traditions, but keeping in mind and understanding fully, that, that alone is not enough to meet Wahiguru, we play sports (rituals),
we have the best teachers
our Gurus
,but the thing is, none of us, do what our Gurus have taught us, we have a poor vision, due to maya and avidya or agyanta, plus we have sold ourselves or handed ourselves willingly in the hands of the manmukhs, chosen by us democratically or by the finger, ultimately it makes no difference, and these have mixed the dirty politics with the purity of the teachings of our beloved Gurus, and thus have made us loose all the real essence of their(Bani of the Gurus) teachings, which is nothing than finding shelter at the feet of a Gurmukh of our time, just like when they came also, and asking for the blessing of Gurprasad from them, and do its kamaee of bhakti or sadhna, it is the same thing.
The holy Anand Sahib is a vast extension, of the summary of what is written above:
Anand bhaya meri maee... Satgur toh me paaya------ O my mother, my whole being is in ecstasy, I have found a true Guru, a Gurmukh.
Then what happens, if by good fortune(wadbhagee jeev) one comes across such a Gurmukh?
Well, one gets the Gurprasad of Nam or Saacha Nao.
a)Then what should one do with it, and b) what happens if worked(kamaee, abyaas) out diligently as per the instructions(jugtee)?
a) When one receives the Gurprasad, as the Bani says : Gur Satgur ka jo sikh akhae... amrit wele jaapey sach Nao
b) Then by doing the kamaee of this Nam, Wahiuguru showers us with His unlimited Daya Meher, which works as Amrit for us and washes all our sins, all our sanskaras since we left Sach Khand, making us pure and paviter to be pure like Akal Purukh to be able to merge our souls in Him, and at the same time allows us to have His darshan and hear His true voice(His Shabad), that is why the Bani says:
Nam jiske man vaseh...vajeh Shabad ganere------means, once we become holy by the practice of Nam Simran and His Daya Meher, we shall be able to hear the divine song, the Akath Katha of Akal Purukh, known as Shabad also, because then this Shabad will pervade in each pore of our true self, our true being. That is what the Bani means also when it says: anter jot niranter Bani, which means, once we catch hold to that Nam through Simran, we shall be able to have Darshan of that Jot and hear the Akashi Bani, the Anhad Shabad, of which all true Gurmukhs or Gurus of any time, past or present have mentioned and stressed importance upon, and in the future it will be that also : Satpurush- Shabad and Satguru(these are the signs, which Guru Gobind Singh referred when He left for the heavenly abode of Sach Khand), which one has to look for, in order to know who and what is truth or fake?
We are lucky Wahiguru has placed us in the right environments(human birth), now it is for us, to decide and take the right steps and go back home in Sach Khand, or keep going merry go round in the chaurasee ka chakar.
It would be advisable, if we take the first choice, in it, lies our welfare...none other than Wahiguru Akal Purukh Himself.
Shabad and ony Shabad matters, as the Bani says:
Shabade dharti Shabade Akash,
Shabade Shabad hoa parkash,
sagli Shrishti Shabad ke paache,
Nanak, Shabad ghate ghat achay
This means: Shabad created the earth, Shabad created the sky, from Shabd cometh all light. The whole world reseth on Shabad. O Nanak, and this Shabd is present in all human beings(everywhere).
This Shabad is not a word of any language, is a power, a highest level of consciousness and bliss, which is got only as grace as Gurprasad from a Satguru or a Gurmukh; and that in the Bani is very clear expressed, when it says :
mat koee bhoole sansar...bin Satgur koee na utraas paar
Maybe, many may not like what has been written...that is their problem; but not because of that, the Bani should be adulterated, or manipulated to the tastes of the masses. We shall be doing a great injustice to our Gurus. As they gave all their lives, in letting us knowing the true Bani, as per instructions from Wahiguru Akal Purukh Himself.
May Wahiguru bless us with clear understanding. Because, only to those whom He wishes by casting His glance of mercy, makes them meet the Gurmukh or Satguru of their present living time, in order to get get the Gurprasad, the jugtee, "the bhed", all that is the same as "Saadh kee sangat", so then the sikh, the disciple, does understand the pure paviter Bani of the Gurus in the correct sense or meaning. It is not in the hands of any ordinary man to make us understand the truth in the Bani, except the beloved Gurmukh of Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

The spiritual wealth contained in the Bani of our Gurus, is a treasure beyond measure
, any page we may take...any parragraph...only spiritual gems, rubies and diamonds of the highest order are to be found, and from those; related to the above topic, and going a little bit further in it, the following lines are humbly submitted at the
holy feet of Wahiguru, and His sangat:
Aapeh Satgur, Aapeh Har, Aapeh mel milaveh
. How sweet and full of truth, are these just 7 words. It resumes the essence of spirituality, if we could only pay attention to them, and understand them...our whole attitude and agaynta shall be removed away...just like the Sun makes run away the darkness. And these 7 words translated into English means: My dear, You are the Satguru by yourself, at the same time, You yourself are the Lord "Har" Himself, and thus, when You yourself come in the human form of a Gurmukh, a Sant, a Satguru, through your Gurprasad, you unite our souls with You.
Usually even at all the outer temples, churches or Gurdwaras, we do not go and take Parsad by ourselves...that is not the maryada...there has to be a giver and a taker...even though for the outer Prasad . Similarly, to get the Gurprasad, we need to go and have it from a Pooran Sant Satguru,a real Gurmukh...like all our Gurus...like Kabir Sahib...like Guru Ravi Das, like Sant Nam Dev.... Tulsi Sahib...Sant Tukaram.... etc ... all of them were true Gurmukhs...all of them were sent by Wahiguru Akal Purukh at different times and places, to go and make the mankind know the secrets about Shabad and Nam...we can read and see by ourselves their teachings...all of them stressed upon Nam...the first and the ultimate truth. But the thing is as long they are present among us in the human form, we more or less walk straightly... but if for some reason Wahiguru, hides Himself for some time His physical form from us, again we start going astray...with all the outer forms of rituals and get lost in idol worship, and then say Wahiguru will not come again in human form... and start a new form of agaynta, with a new polluted dharma....far away from the real teachings of the Gurmukhs.
The Gurmukhs of any time and any place come only with one message, the message of Nam, they do not mix up in politics... it is we humans we forget their real message and try to perpetuate our stay on this earthly plane, by creating communities and start fighting for a piece of land...and manipulating the masses.... and diverting the attention from the truth of Satnam...towards the perishable and unreal maya and its objects.
So that is why from time to time, Satpurush has to come in the human form at our human level, to make us conscious of our real identity, and through the weapon of Nam as Gurprasad, make us free from karmas,rasna bhogs, from countless sanskaras, indriya bhogs, from the mighty mind and Kal....thus making us pure and paviter like Him...so that our souls be able and worthy to merge in Wahiguru Akal Purukh, and that is what meant, by God realization. This is a process, which starts by we getting a human form...then if we are wadbhagee, we come in contact with a Sant, a Gurmukh, a Satguru of our time...it has to be so, so that, the action of Gurprasad may take place, between a Sikh a Gurmukh...and once that Amrit is got, through it´s sadhna, it´s kamaee, it´s bhakti... we may board in the
Jahaz of Nam
...and go back to Sach Khand... into the lap of Satpurush.
My soul dances in ecstasy, with the unparalleled beauty and sweetness of the Bani, and cries in pain of separation then, because, the maker of all these wonderful changes is the
...that is why the bani says:
Haun Reh na sakah...Bin dekhe preetama.... Tujh Bin ik gareeh na jeevana....Tujh bin kavan hamara, mere preetam pran adhara.....Mohe rehan na aveh...mohe neend na avaeh, bin dekhe preetama.... dhan so wela jit darshan karna...haun balharee Satgur charna... and much much more.
Wah Wah Wahiguru !!!!
Re: sikhism
Sun Feb 05, 2012 8:34 pm
Satgur vich aap varatdaa har aapay rakhanhaar.
Salok Mehlaa 4: Guru Ram Das.
The Lord Himself abides within the True Guru; He Himself is His Protector.
Gurus are many....But the one who has merged Himself in Wahiguru Akal Purukh, is called a Gurmukh, a Satguru. He comes direct from Sach Khand through His command, to give us muktee from this world of pain and sorrow, through the blessing, through His Gurprasad, His bhed, His jugtee of Nam.
That is why it is said in the begining of the Granth Sahib, and in almost each parragraph of each page: Ik Onkar, Satgur Prasad.
So this Gur prasad can only be had, only if there is a Gurmukh, a Sant Satguru.
Why is such importance given to a Satguru? Outwardly He may look like an ordinary person.
Then the question arises, how shall we come to know Him?
Now that, is a question of fate, of being a wadbhagee, marked by the Lord, before coming into this world. So only those wadbhagee will come to believe in Him. He maybe our neighbour, but if we are not meant for that auspicious meeting with a Gurmukh in this life, we shall never believe in Him...we shall go to the extent, that we shall slander Him...saying that, He is going against our dharma...and all sort of blasphemy. Because He praises and does the parchar of Nam and Shabad, He lays importance on Nam bhakti only ....not so much on the outer forms of worships and rituals, of which we are so used to, due to the manmukhs, the manipulators...as they have lost of sight the aim of Satpurush...so they also misguide others to the pitfall.
The Bani is very clear, even if there are hundreds of moons and thousands of Suns together up in the Sky, even then without a Satguru....there is utter spiritual darkness, utter spiritual ignorance.
What is the Lord Har? He is an infinite ocean of truth, bliss and consciousness...above all consciousness.... so naturally He comes and abides in, there where is life force consciousness......not in the lifeless and inert objects such as paper, stone, idols, iron, etc...as all these things are sure going to decay one day, as they are made of the 5 nashwant elements, such as air, fire, earth, water and ether....while our souls are of the same essence as Parmatma Akal Purukh, that is why our soul can merge in Him, as a drop of water in the ocean, and become one with it.
So as the title of today´s post says: Satgur vich aap varatdaa har aapay rakhanhaar. This means very clearly: In the form of Satguru, the Lord Himself comes and reside.
At other place it is stated: Aapeh SATGUR, Aapeh HAR, aapeh mel milave....You yourself come in the human form as Satguru, and You yoursef, make it possible...our union with You.

Re: sikhism
Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:47 pm
As long as there is Sea( Wahiguru Akal Purukh) and seashore(earth)...there will always be waves(Gurmukhs),they can not be stopped.
In the same way, as long there is creation(Bhavsagar).....the inmense Wahiguru shall keep coming here in the form of a wave (a Satguru, a Gurmukh).
Some may wonder, what for?
Well, to collect, those wadbhagee atmas or souls(drops of water on the shore), by first merging them in Himself, and later that wave and drop becoming one with the Ocean or Sea( Wahiguru Akal Purukh).
The drop by itself, can never reach and become one with Ocean, unless that very Ocean, becomes first a Wave, and collects that drop, by wrapping it within itself, and taking it back, to its real form, the Infinite Ocean.
Then something wonderful happens: the drop, the Wave and the Ocean, have become one without distinction.
That is what the Bani says: Anter Jot Niranter Bani, Saachay sahib sioo liv lae. Which means, that Supreme Father Akal Purukh, when manifested through His Shabad form, that of a Satguru, makes it possible for the soul to merge in Him(Satnam). It first attracts the soul to itself, like a magnet to a needle, then with the Shabad, merge in Satpurukh.
That is the maryada and greatness of Akal Purukh. It is nothing else, but His Daya Meher!
P.S: all the Bani, is nothing but utter Mahima of Wahiguru, Shabad and Satguru...all the three are the same thing, but working on different planes, namely: spiritual(Parbraham), mental (Braham) and physical creation.
Re: sikhism
Wed Feb 22, 2012 12:21 am
Sikhism is the real unpolluted teachings of our Gurus,due to their infinite grace and mercy on us, some lines from them are presented at the service of the beloved Sangat of Wahiguru, and for that purpose Asa Di War has been taken today, as it has been repeated several times, that in their Bani throughout, special mention is made to only three things: Satnam(Wahiguru Akal Purukh), Satguru or Gurmukh and Nam or Shabad. And this is clearly seen in the below lines:
nadar karahi jay aapnee taa nadree satgur paa-i-aa.
If the Merciful Lord shows His Mercy, then the True Guru is found. *Not otherwise
ayhu jee-o bahutay janam bharammi-aa taa satgur sabad sunaa-i-aa.
This soul wandered through countless incarnations, until the True Guru instructed it in the Word of the Shabad.
* Here, when Guru Sahiban says:" until the true Guru instructed in the Word of Shabad", means, when only, if we are wadbhagee, we come and meet a perfect true Satguru, then He gives us the Gurprasad of the bhed or jugtee of Nam, then only we can meet and become one with Wahiguru Akal Purukh.
satgur jayvad daataa ko nahee sabh suni-ahu lok sabaa-i-aa.
There is no giver as great as the True Guru; hear this, all you people
*So beacuse of this Gurprasad is got from a Satguru, He is the highest giver among humans, because He gives us that something of His real essence, which is nothing but Shabad. Just as a trader of jewels, trades with gold, and diamonds; so does a true Gurmukh or Satguru trade with Nam, His wealth is Nam, and He freely distributes it those who come and take refuge at His Lotus feet.
Again in the following lines Guru Sahiban stresses upon the importance and need of a contemporary Gurmukh, for self realization and God realization:
satgur mili-ai sach paa-i-aa jinHee vichahu aap gavaa-i-aa.
Meeting the True Guru, the True Lord is found; He removes self-conceit from within,
*Means, meeting the true Guru, ones agyanta and ego or haume are removed, and once this is achieved, automatically next Wahiguru is realized.
jin sacho sach bujhaa-i-aa.
and instructs us in the Truth of Truths.
*Instructing in the truths of truth means: getting from Him the Gurprasad, the technique, the jugtee, the bhed of unfolding that Nam or Shabad inside ourselves.
This is the wadayee,of a real Gurmukh. That is why it is said in the Bani: even if there were hundreds of moons and thousands of Suns in the Sky, even then without a Satguru, there would be utter(agyanta) darkness for us.
* Please forgive me if anybody is ever hurt of what I write...the thing is many of us since we have been born, have heard and read until today, the same things but interpreted in a different way. So it may sound even strange, but if given time and a deeper thought, and above all His grace, one may understand the message our Gurus want to give us. It is through His infinite grace that this bandha, has come to understand the real depth and meaning of their(Gurmukhs) teachings.
As it is clearly said:
Awar kaaj tere kitte na kam, mil, Sadh Sangat, bhaj kewal Nam
*Means, in the company of a Sadh, a Gurmukh, we come to know the truth, we get the real understanding....not only that, but even, we come to reunite our souls with Wahiguru, once and forever, from whom we have been separated since eons and have been wandering in the unending cycle of births and deaths.
So Wahiguru created us and sent us to the creation, but only when He came as a Satguru or Gurmukh, and gave us the Amrit of Nam, as Gurprasad, we could merge our souls in Him.

Wedding Catering Wandana Heights Vic
8 Expert Tips For Choosing the Right Catering Service In Wandana Heights
When it comes to the important things that can make or break an occasion, few are as crucial as the quality, taste and look of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your decision of which catering service to work with, and if you think this choice truly isn't that essential, take a look at it by doing this, remarkable catering can rescue an event that's on the rocks, however bad catering will usually send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, because catering is frequently the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for the majority of events, the catering service you choose is also a considerable financial choice and can affect just how much money you have left over to spend on other areas depending upon food costs and amounts.
Add in that caterers can vary drastically in their pricing and the kinds of meals and services they use, and the procedure of selecting a caterer can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, generally due to the fact that how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your preliminary discussions is a sign of how they will perform during the length of their contract with you (and more on contracts later on).
A potential caterer ought to be finding out as much as they can about you in your first few discussions with them, so you need to anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you offering responses and outlining your needs about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Handle Your Particular Type of Occasion In Wandana Heights 3216
Not every catering service is perfect or every type of occasion, and many catering services themselves honestly confess this.
So when interviewing your Wandana Heights caterers (and you ought to talk to at least 3 catering services for any occasion with an affordable budget plan), you need to be specific about the kind of event you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you might end up picking a catering service who merely isn't really an excellent fit for the type or style of your event.
Almost every caterer has a basic menu or menus to pick from, and many do supply some level of built-in flexibility to adapt these menus to your particular requirements by substituting particular items and/or customizing others.
However, the standout caterers will go beyond standardized menu options and be willing to produce amazing fare that matches a lot more particular theme and dietary requirements.
# 3 Willingness To Offer Tastings
How will you ever understand exactly what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you understand what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you specifically attempt them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the particular items they want for their occasion because it appears like a hassle for the catering service, but it is standard to request a tasting of what you are planning to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a charge, it's a small cost to pay to guarantee you select the ideal caterer). When you are sampling the food, also take care of how it exists, as any caterer who makes the effort to properly show a sample will most likely be more likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event supervisor who has to manage catering details, budget plans and assignments?
Or are you a catering service who has to track proposals, invoices, meal selections, inventory and other customer information?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You may be in for a surprise if you work with a BBQ take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom charity event. Or if you pick a high-end business event catering service to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Because these caterers might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more particular depending upon constraints of the venue itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Even more standard places can likewise have restrictions that caterers should follow, like certain setup standards or disposal restrictions for waste food and water, so having a caterer that recognizes with a location's guidelines can potentially save you lots of inconvenience on event day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's contract ought to clearly define precisely what food, drinks and services the caterer will be supplying on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it ought to protect you from non-performance as much as it secures the caterer from non-payment/default, so you might want to think about having a lawyer} look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail needs to be consisted of in the contract, consisted of chosen menus, variety of servings and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service information (if appropriate) and all prices and additional services.
No catering service in Wandana Heights with a shred of self-respect and scruples enters into an agreement with plans to bail at the last minute, but you have to make certain there is a cancellation stipulation in your contract simply in case your caterer needs to cancel.
You don't wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your occasion, so just make sure cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Speak To
Naturally you will need to check up on the catering services you are thinking about, and it's always good to begin online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always trusted (or even authentic); for instance, a good caterer may have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who alter their scores, while a really mediocre catering service might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can locate some past clients of the catering services you are thinking about and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we talked to called insurance coverage "a provided" for catering services, and you definitely do not wish to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Cooking Area Staff
Surprisingly, how long a catering company in Wandana Heights has been around might not be as critical in selecting an excellent catering service as you may believe.
So ensure to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV since he or she will probably be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

While I look forward to the opening of trout season and that first Saturday in August each year it's September when the fishing really peaks in the Derwent River.
The searun trout are at their best and the weather is on the improve as the daylight hours begin to draw out a little longer.
Whitebait numbers are starting to increase and it's these bait fish that bring through the bigger numbers of searun trout. Some pretty exciting sessions can be had in the right conditions. A dropping tide is very helpful to localise fish along the channel edges. The faster moving water on the run-out tide pushes bait to the edges of the current as they seek respite from the strong flows. The trout both resident and searun will charge into the edges scattering schools of bait. It's quite a sight at times and needless to say makes it very easy to see where to direct your casts.
Some days the trout will not be interested in anything but the small bait they are feeding on, but more often than not you can pull a few fish when they are actively feeding like this. I prefer to use more natural looking colours when chasing these trout and most manufacturers have more than one lure that is worth a try. Some old favourites would include Nories Laydowns, Ecogear MX48 and MW62, Daiwa Presso and Strike Pro Flatz Minnows to name just a few. Any of the baitfish imitations will produce trout, it's more a matter of getting them in the right place.
When the fish aren't showing, casting along the edges of channels, rocky shores or weed lines will always produce fish. The Derwent holds a huge head of trout and some quality fish too. A couple of genuine trophies have been spotted over the years. He best I've seen was one of about 15-20lb in the old scale that followed up a deep diver slashing at it beside the boat, missing unfortunately. Another very large fish we spooked from under a floating weed mass at Green Point and the third I'll mention was being flung around by a seal near the Lime Kilns.
Land based anglers should look for rocky points with good current running past. Hardbodied lures and fishing plastics a little deeper should bring results. The options are endless between Bridgewater and Store Point near the Bowen Bridge. Get out there and give it a try.
The Tyenna River also gives up some thumpers regularly into September. Often better fishing can be had now as water levels recede somewhat from winter rains. The best fishing here is during periods of high water and the local devotees do extremely well to find the true trophies during this time. Plastics such as Olive T-Tails and Gulp Smelt successful items. Small mid-diving hardbodied lures also high on the list of options.
The Tyenna is always very popular in the early season as news of the big fish of August travels quickly. Everyone wants a piece of the action but many go away disappointed. It takes time to discover and learn a waters secrets. Not everyone is going to rock on up there and pull a double figure fish in their first visit. Sure it can be done but patience is a virtue and you should take something away from every visit, particularly the not so successful trips.
Another tributary of the Derwent is the historical Plenty River about 10 minutes drive out of New Norfolk. The water of the Plenty is what feed the Salmon Ponds in turn giving trout life in not only our home state but mainland Australia and on to New Zealand. The lower reaches below the Salmon Ponds are in the process of receiving a facelift with work to clear the banks of overgrown willows and blackberries.
I grew up on the Plenty and this is where I learnt to fish. It was a great little stream and produced lots of typical trout. The odd escapee was in the bag also but very few and far between. The old Celta was my favour lure and floating a worm out of the rapids and riffles also produced good trout. I'm looking forward to heading back there this season to rekindle some old memories.
Craigbourne Dam has received regular stockings and has had a steady stream of visiting anglers for many months. And it's understandable with Atlantic Salmon in excess of 20lb are still swimming around in there. Soon after release it's best to fish the deep shore between the toilet block around to the dam wall. After they settle, bait fishing anglers do very well from the boat ramp back to the level wall you drive over on the way in.Reads: 2137

Needing only one win to head back to the World Series Yolmer Sanchez Jersey , the Dodgers will send Hyun-Jin Ryu to the mound in game 6."For the first time since July 30, 2016, David Freese will be the leadoff hitter. For the 35-year-old, this will be the fourth time in his career he's led off a game, and probably none more important than tonight's contest. With a win, the Dodgers will head back to the World Series for the second consecutive year. This move comes after Milwaukee's decision to pull Wade Miley after one batter on Wednesday. Though this isn't likely to happen again, Dave Roberts wants to at least ensure Freese gets one at-bat against a lefty today. "It's more of still loving David's at-bat quality and like him against Miley and just being able to see him a couple of times, depending on how the game goes," Roberts said. "And I think that we've got some balance in there. David's fine with hitting lead-off and understanding nothing with his approach changes."A name not in the lineup is Kik茅 Hernandez, who has cemented himself into an everyday starting role against left-handers. It's an interesting move, as Cody Bellinger (.226 AVG) and Chris Taylor (.232) have had more struggles at the plate this year against left-handers than Hernandez (.260).However, out of the three, there's no question Kik茅's bat has been the coldest. He doesn't have a hit in his last 12 plate appearances, and he's 2-for-22 (.091) this postseason. "He's prepared, not getting the results," Roberts said. "But I still expect him to make an impact on today's game. And I just like the way that Yasiel's at-bats have been. I like him out there. So it's just kind of the optionality of having Kik茅 off the bench and Yasi in this particular matchup."Bellinger got off to a slow start, but has found success over the last two games, going 3-for-7, as well as delivering the game-winning hit in game 4. Taylor has been one of LA's best hitters in October, hitting .333 with an OPS of .988.Yet again Adam Engel Jersey , Austin Barnes gets the start instead of Yasmani Grandal. "I think that he's really catching well," Roberts said. "He's having really good at-bats. Still have Yasmani's bat off the bench is a plus with their bullpen. But I think right now Austin makes sense."Barnes has hits in back-to-back games, including bringing in the game-tying run in game 5. "It says a lot about his perseverance and not letting this down year offensively get to him at this point in the season. And he's prepared so well all year long consistently. And the thing for me is that his defense has never wavered or been compromised. That right there speaks to his character and makeup. And at the most critical time in the box he's the most confident he's been in quite some time."Hitting cleanup yet again will be Manny Machado. It will be interesting to see the reception he receives tonight. In LA, Machado was involved in multiple altercations, some that the Brewers didn't take too lightly. Machado was hit by a pitch last game, but with a runner on-base, it's unclear if they were trying to "retaliate" or if a pitch actually got away. It will definitely be an interesting storyline to follow nonetheless. Are the Reds seriously seeking a catching upgrade?"Let's get one thing out of the way before we dig too much deeper here: the Mat Latos trade was nothing sort of a massive success for the Cincinnati Reds. Yonder Alonso wasn't going to play ahead of Joey Votto, and hasn't been worth Votto's high socks since the deal. Similarly, Latos proved to be a clear upgrade over Edinson Volquez in the great rotations of 2012-2013, and even did so at a much cheaper salary. Brad Boxberger had a few great moments, but it's hard to truly cry foul about losing a reliever who's been worth a grand total of 1.8 bWAR in 7 years since the deal.The lone real qualm one could have with the deal was the decision to keep Devin Mesoraco over Yasmani Grandal at the time, though even Mesoraco's case could be chalked up to freak injuries instead of mere underperformance. So, when you see a national writer like Jon Heyman continually refer to that 2011 swap as 'ill-fated,' know that's frankly a big pile of bull honkey.It's worth noting, though, that Heyman's most recent ill-fated reference to that trade being 'ill-fated' came late last week in his Inside MLB Notes column at Fancred, one that included that the Reds have inquired about Grandal in free agency.In a vacuum, that's a pretty harmless rumor. Grandal is the best free agent catcher on the market at the moment, and it'd be silly for any team not to check in with his camp to see what it is he's looking for. Add-in that Grandal was drafted by the Reds under then-GM Walt Jocketty - who is still a part of the front office - and that he thrived under current Reds hitting coach Turner Ward when Ward was with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it becomes a tad bit juicier.Of course http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey , it's not even the first catching rumor the Reds have surfaced in so far this winter, either, as they've also been continually linked with Miami Marlins All Star J.T. Realmuto, along with many other teams. And while you may well be able to chalk up the inquiry about Grandal as former acquaintances checking in on one another, the Realmuto news paired with the Grandal inquiry certainly makes it appear that the Reds might have interest in revamping their catching situation.Considering Tucker Barnhart was only signed to his four-year contract extension a little over one year ago - and has banked a Gold Glove since signing it - that's a bit of an odd revelation, especially given how reasonable the dollar amount on Barnhart's deal is. Obviously, that begs the chicken/egg question - are the Reds actively looking to upgrade from Barnhart, or are other teams so interested in acquiring Barnhart in a bigger deal that the Reds are trying to figure out what it would cost to replace him?The Cleveland Indians, for instance, have long been trying to trim payroll while maintaining a club capable of competing for another World Series appearance, and that has led to them letting Michael Brantley walk in free agency, shipping Yan Gomes to Washington, and doing everything they could to shed a few million bucks in their swap of Carlos Santana for Edwin Encarnacion. On top of that, they're still consistently atop the rumor mill with Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer on the block, a trade of each likely significantly reducing their 2019 payroll while bringing back big-league pieces. Kluber, in particular, has been of interest to the Reds for obvious reasons, and considering the Cleveland catching depth chart now consists of the incredibly lackluster Roberto Perez and Eric Haase in the wake of the Gomes deal - and that of Francisco Mejia to San Diego last trade deadline - perhaps Tucker is a prime piece Cleveland would desire as part of any Kluber package.To me, it seems the latter scenario is one that's much more likely to be behind the Reds exploring the top end of the catching market. Though Barnhart's pitch framing numbers have ranked among the worst in the game (Grandal's have been the best, coincidentally) Lucas Giolito Jersey , he's otherwise an incredible defender, his pitch blocking skills and ability to control the run game among the best around. He hits just enough to make for a pretty solid option back there, and at a total cost of just about $11.5 million total for the next three years (with an option for a fourth), he's precisely the kind of bargain for every cost-conscious team out there. In other words, obviously most every team out there should have interest in him, and if he's the kind of piece the Reds can use to land elite pitching - especially in a year where their payroll can absorb a high-priced catching replacement if needed - that's an avenue they should realistically explore.Grandal would certainly be a pricey back-fill at catcher, to be sure. He's average 22 dingers a year over the last four seasons, owns a career 115 OPS+, and has those previously mentioned pitch-framing numbers supporting his case. He has seemingly moved past the torn ACL and PED suspension from his earlier days - his 2018 OPS+ of 121 actually being a career best mark - and despite his struggles in the 2018 postseason he still stands to land a four-year contract that would likely be the priciest free agent deal in Reds history. It is worth noting that he's spent a decent bit of time playing 1B in his career - 50 games in the big leagues - so he could, in theory, also help take a bit of playing time pressure off Joey Votto as Votto inches into his late 30's, and do so with significantly better offensive production there than what the Reds could expect from Barnhart and Curt Casali.Given the acquisition of Tanner Roark and Friday's blockbuster deal for Yasiel Puig, Alex Wood, and Matt Kemp from the Dodgers, it's clear the Reds have every intention of reshaping this roster to the best of their ability. Catcher doesn't exactly jump off the page as an obvious need - Tucker Barnhart ranks 15th in total fWAR over the last two years among the 29 MLB catchers with at least 600 PA in that time - but there is still room for some improvement there, especially if there's another team out there that truly covets Barnhart and his team-friendly contract.

Way to go, Judy!
Yes, Family History is a collaborative effort. While I was taking a step back and looking at all the other pioneers of the Edmund Ellsworth Handcart Company of 1856 that had come from Elinor's neighborhood in Wales, Judy did us one better by going through the Ellsworth list to see if any of her married daughters had come. And she found Jane.
On Ellsworth's list is John & Jane Lewis with son John eight years old. A quick check to the 1851 Census found them in Bedwellty, Tredegar, Wales - with wife Jane having been born in Hay, Breconshire, and son John, born in Llanfoist, Monmouthshire. We have a match!
The Lewises crossed the ocean ahead of Eleanor on the S. Curling to Boston.
They had an infant with them named Parley. He doesn't appear in the Ellsworth Company and that is very sad. Temple work needs to be done. Give us a chance to find more details.
The problem is, they seem to disappear once they get to Utah. They are not on the 1860 Census, not on Findagrave.com, they are barely on Family Search with no additional info, we can't find them anywhere! -So far.
So we post this preliminary, if very exciting, report to announce an ALL POINTS BULLETIN for someone to find John, Jane, and John Lewis, Jr. in Utah and where they ended up. I bet we can pick up Eleanor in the process. We'll try Springville again as we round up the usual likely suspects.
It's one thing to lose one person, but four? Maybe they left Utah? Left the Church? But why go through all that trouble to get here. And wouldn't they have sent some word back home to discourage anyone else? Willie & John & family still came 30 years later! And here we are - and they're after us.
While we have work to do, I feel a great sense of relief to know that Elinor did not walk to Zion on her own.
Thank you, John, Jane, John . . . and Judy!

The Nether Dragon is a Serpentine-Cuboid Dragon encountered during entrance of the Nether.
Unlike the Enderdragon, it does not fly often, unless attacked more than 5 times, they stomp around and breathe some fire, occasionally shooting a fire charge. Without at least a wooden sword, the damage you do will not effect it. All swords harm it, and Diamond and Gold swords are the best to use. Nether Dragons (when found and only, found in a far place) will close the Overworld Portal, but when defeated, the Overworld Portal appears right next to you If you die by some mobs and sssswsa, you have to fight the Nether Dragon again.
The Nether Dragon is imprisoned within an unknown Nether Fortress and, if you destroy one of the Blaze spawner triggers, it will be released. The Netherdragon, being more powerful than the Enderdragon, is a very deadly force of destruction. It will also spawn at least a dozen Withers to throw you off the track, but being registered as undead, the Withers won't harm it. Only when you have slain all the Withers will the Netherdragon become mortal. It can also brainwash all the Nether mobs to do it's bidding. The Netherdragon is a force to be reckoned with. When it dies, it will drop a rFire Core, which can be used to craft a Clarent Sword, the most powerful weapon in all Minecraftia. Be advised that if you have a Clarent Sword, then Creepers will follow you, but fortunately the sword makes it impossible for Creepers to harm you, including Ender Creepers and Fire Creepers. However, the sword can be treacherous, so bring along some cats when you have the sword.
The nether dragon has the ability to create lava and shoot fire balls too. Attacking it without protection, you could instantly die. It's body will not harm you, but the scales on its body are very sharp. It is immune to fire and lava. This Nether Dragon is from a mod. It will not respawn if you revisit the nether. It is immune to enchantments and bows,unlike the Enderdragon do basically no damage.
- 80 Hitpoints
- Experience: 100 Orbs
Fire out! (Kill the Nether Dragon.)

The galleries of wedding photography have presently graduated from being the simplistic revelations of weddings to a level of capturing the special moments between the bride and the groom and glamorizing them to sweet and romantic eye catching memories. Not only do the bride and the groom cherish the special moments captured and later transformed to masterpieces but also
the attendees of the wedding occasion invariably admire the efforts and artistry of the photographers involved in beautifying the photographs. Theydeserveit provides information about artistic wedding photography .
Currently due to major enhancements in the technicalities of photography , digitalization and introduction of electronic media, the realm of photography has made major improvements. Henceforth, the promoting of fashion photography and artistic photography has seen the levels that common masses can't gauge. The fashion photographers mostly take to artistic wedding photography which equally entails the norms of fashioning and glamorizing the wedding photographs to evoke eye catching effects.

Canada Markets
Investor Sentiment in the Loonie Increasingly Bearish
The Canadian dollar held close to $.73 CAD/USD on Monday (black line), while Friday's CFTC data shows investors adding to their bearish net-short futures position for the sixth consecutive week, as indicated by the red bars of the histogram on the attached chart, measured against the left-hand vertical axis. The current net-short position of 47,704 contracts is the largest net-short position held since February 2016.
This is the longest bearish trend seen since a seven-week move was realized between November 2015 and January 2016. The current trend began with a sudden change in sentiment with a move from a net-long position of 21,458 contracts held during the week of March 14, to a net-short the following week of 24,403 contracts. Since then, the weekly surge in the net-short position has been the greatest in the past two weeks, increasing by 28% in the week ending April 25 and by 12% in the week ending May 2.
Super-imposing the trend in the spot Canadian dollar (black line) we can see the impact that this noncommercial sentiment has on the exchange rate. The spot Canadian dollar reached a 2016 low of $.68296 CAD/USD on January 20, which corresponds with the noncommercial net-short of 66,819 contracts, reached on the following week of Jan. 26. The current move has led to headlines that refer to the loonie as "the ugly duckling" and being the poorest performer of the world's major currencies.
Looking at the spot Canadian dollar chart, last week's move saw support at $.72716 CAD/USD breached over the week but held in the end, which is the 61.8% retracement of the move from the January 2016 low to the April 2016 high. A breach of this level could result in a test of the 67% retracement of the same uptrend, found at $.72114 CAD/US. Both daily and weekly stochastics are found in oversold territory, which may discourage speculators from further heavy selling.
At the same time, there is reason for concern on the part of speculators. Canada's real-estate sector is reported to be a bubble. Mortgage lender Home Capital is fighting to stay alive while facing a run on deposits. U.S. protectionist threats could spell bad news in the Canadian economy. On the weekend, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested the federal government might be open to retaliation on U.S. softwood lumber tariffs, while the Globe and Mail reports U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross suggesting that such a move would be "inappropriate." Lastly, weekend data from China indicates a slowing growth in imports in April, failing to meet expectations. All of this gives loonie bears reason for further caution.

Connecticut lawmakers and money-chasers, more so than in most states, have long been sifting through complications that come with the opportunity to regulate sports gambling and everyone, least of all the bettor, is lining up to claim a portion of fast-approaching financial flood.
The dam was lifted Monday in Washington. By ruling to repeal the longstanding Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), the Supreme Court freed all 50 states to regulate sports wagering.
Ultimately, this could shift the bulk of an annual business estimated between $150-$400 billion nationally, and around $2 billion in Connecticut, from the shady world of illegal bookmaking to, say, well-lit casino floors, parlors and phone apps. Immediately, it transfers a heavy burden of responsibility from the federal government to our state Capitol, where the most recent legislative session ended Wednesday without Bill 540, "an act proposed to authorize sports wagering," making it through the Senate.
"I am prepared to call the General Assembly into special session to consider legalizing sports betting in Connecticut," Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said in a statement issued Monday afternoon. "It is incumbent on us to consider the question of legalized sports betting in a thoughtful way that ensures our approach is responsible, smart, and fully realizes the economic potential that this opportunity provides."
Gov. Malloy Considers Special Session On Sports Betting After U.S. Supreme Court Decision
Speaker of the House Joe Aresimowicz said Monday that a special session in light of a new Supreme Court legalizing sports gambling "would be an appropriate and prudent response."
Thirty-plus states are known to be interested in making sports wagering a source of revenue. New Jersey, which seven years ago challenged PASPA and created the first wave in momentum that culminated with Monday's ruling, is thought to be just months away from fully establishing infrastructure and taking bets. New York isn't far behind.
Connecticut is considered on the fast track, too, despite the bill stalling. The tribes that run our two casinos have made arguments about deserving exclusive rights. Professional sports leagues want a percentage of the money that will change hands, "an integrity fee," as the NBA calls it. In any setup, the state will get its cut, with an estimated $40-80 million in annual tax revenue.
The Connecticut particulars were discussed and negotiated like everything else political in recent months, with 24 speakers, many of them gaming industry experts or casino representatives, addressing lawmakers April 2. Neal Eskin, a senior associate athletic director at UConn, was there, too, delivering a message that essentially added up to: Proceed carefully.
Connecticut can, and should, do that. Monday's ruling legalized nothing nationwide. It just left the issue for states to decide, and sounded the siren on a frenzy to act and act responsibly.
In a state without a major professional sports franchise, UConn remains a voice of authority. And how gambling's tentacles touch college sports is especially important to consider.
"The [NCAA] believes sports gaming undermines the integrity of the sport and also jeopardizes the health and welfare of the student-athletes," Eskin testified. "As amateur athletes and young adults, the membership supports a population that may be vulnerable to act or share information which can impact the outcome of a game or contest. Gambling on their sport could result in the exposure of student-athletes to a new level of pressure and the influence of others."
Eskin's next point probably opened more eyes — because it has to do with money. The NCAA, Eskin reminded lawmakers, prohibits championship events in states that allow gambling. In 2019 alone, there are three championship events scheduled to take place in Connecticut – first- and second-round men's NCAA Tournament games at the XL Center, men's lacrosse NCAA Tournament quarterfinals at Rentschler Field and the women's Frozen Four at Quinnipiac.
"We certainly would not want to have this opportunity jeopardized in the future, as a result of any conflicts with the championship policy," Eskin said.
With PASPA repealed, the NCAA should change that policy – or risk running out of states in which to hold events. But the path forward is unknown, as Eskin said, ranging from "the status quo [to] a championship policy that only considers amateur sports betting as a factor in hosting tournament play, or a complete repeal of the policy."
Gambling has its ills and thrills, but it was for the Supreme Court, and now the states, to consider whether sports wagering is right for the country and its communities, and for you to decide whether it's right for your life and those around you.
And, really, this isn't a moral debate, because Connecticut settled that long ago and remains increasingly open to more gaming and more casino proposals, each one like turning up three cherries on a slot machine. We have Keno, we take in millions a month from Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun slot revenue. Parimutuel wagering thrives here.
We are, plain and simple, a gambling state.
Eskin wasn't at the Capitol to beat back momentum, only to encourage careful consideration of details in a lengthy bill. Thankfully, Malloy has already made clear that lawmakers need to reconvene. The bill needs reconsideration ASAP.
We can be, but don't have to be, a college gambling state. There are myriad ways to structure gaming framework – including the option to ban wagering on events within state lines, or NCAA events. Maybe wagers on events involving state athletic teams should be prohibited. And maybe none of this would even shield student-athletes from pressures that can already exist.
But the day is fast approaching when billboards advertising sports books will line our highways. Sports betting will be legitimized, in your face, even encouraged.
Is that potentially dangerous? Sure. Gambling addiction can cripple families. But illegal gambling does the same. It exists and its time to regulate, with a state in need taking the juice instead of a bookie or an offshore website.
The NCAA should get in the game – just like the NBA, just like Major League Baseball. Both leagues have been proactive in anticipation of Supreme Court action. Cedric Maxwell, representing the NBA, and Al Leiter, representing Major League Baseball, even appeared at the Capitol a couple weeks ago in support of 540.
The NCAA can remain stubborn and even silent if it wishes, but it's hard to see a world in which it does not make sense to have parts of the women's NCAA Tournament in Bridgeport or Storrs, or major championship events in states like New York and New Jersey.

Media: Why Girls Should Play Softball
...youth sports is one of the few opportunities that a child has to learn how to fall and get back up...
By watching princess movies or beauty pageants, your daughter may have gotten the impression that she's supposed to be delicate and weak. Playing a sport like baseball or softball will teach her that it's OK to be strong. Pitching and throwing a ball is a somewhat aggressive movement, so she'll learn to be strong and tough, without risking the injuries that contact sports like football can cause. T-ball and baseball are sports that young boys and girls often play together, so she'll learn to be comfortable interacting with both sexes.

It is advisable to wash dark and strong-coloured garments separately or with like colours in plenty of water, as some dye may come off especially in the first few washes. Wash at 60 degrees. Washing at too low temperature may cause the colour to bleed. Soaking is not recommended. Washing strong-coloured and patterned items inside out will help to keep the colours and prints beautiful. Cotton items are best ironed when they are slightly damp. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry.
Main Material: 100% Cotton
Follow the washing temperature given.
