Over 500 Sikhs from India will arrive in Pakistan from today for about a week to participate in the Joti Jot (death anniversary) of Guru Nanak. The Sikhs will reach Wagah railway station by Samjhota Express and arrive at the Gurdawara Dera Sahib in Lahore.
They will visit Gurdawara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpura, Narowal, on September 22 where Evacuee Trust Property Board chairman Asif Hashmi will host a reception in their honour and address them. They will travel to Nankana Sahib later in the week. They will also visit Gurdawara Sacha Sauda in Farooqabad, Gurdawara Panja Sahib in Hasanabdal and Gurdawara Rori Sahib in Aimanabad.

Shabad Vichar SMS postings
Please read some of the postings from Shabad Vichar SMS - Sent by Sd. Jagjot singh ji.
· "BIN SATGUR NAO NA PAYIYE, BIN NAAVE KYA SUAO"Sada man roopi bhanda vikaran di mael nal bhareya hai. Bina Guru Shabad(Gyan) roopi sabun de eh man manjeya nahi jayega. Te jad tak eh bhanda manjeya nahi jayega, tad tak es vich pavitar Amrit Naam kive niwas karega ji?
· Guru Gobind Singh Ji ne aisa Sikh banaya, jisda prabhav duniya kabool kare. Afsoos, aj te sade naujawan veer/bhena filmstars te TV actors da prabhav kabool kar, unha varga saroop bana rahe han. Sanu apna etihaas padna te hora nu prerna chahida hai te ardaas kariye ki Guru sanu puratan sikhan varga sidak bakshe.
· We generally take God's Gifts for granted. Just do a small exercise. List down 10 things that you love the most in this world. And for a moment, imagine life without them. Then, you will realize what all Waheguru has given us."Das Bastu Le Pache Pave, Ek Bastu Karan Bekhot Gavave"
· Baal awastha vich Parmatma naal judna zyada sokha hai,kyuki tad manukh padarathan de moh vich nahi pya honda.Sanu apne bacheyan, rishtedaran ate jankaran de bacheyan nu Simran,Sewa,Bani naal judan di prerna deni chahide he, taki aan wale samay vich Sikhi chardi kala vich rahe.
· Shabad Guru, manukh de Jeevan di POTENTIALITY nu REALITY vich badal denda hai. Manukha Jeevan bahut kimti hai ji, es nu vyarth na gvayiye.
· Jad tak asi ekaant vich beth ke, apne dhyan(surat) nu bani(shabad) vich nahi jodhde, tad tak Man tikega nahi te manukh sansaar de sab sukh bhogde hoye vi dukhi hi rahega. Agar asli sukh chahida hai, te thodi mehnat kar ke din da kuch samay Guru nu do,taki man bani anusar ho jaye ji.
· Jis tarah Guru sharir nahi, Shabad hai. Us hi tarah, Sikh vi sharir nahi... ASI JOT HAA (MAN TU JOT SAROOP HAI, APNA MOOL PACHAN) Kadi observe karo, sadi sari energy sharir di jharooratan vich lagi hai, ki asi Atma nu vi savarya hai; kadi Guru da gyan le ke,apne man nu badalna chahya hai?
· Kaam,Krodh,Lobh,Moh te Ahankaar sade man de charo taraf ek chakravyu bana ke bethe ne. Sanu Nimarta,Simran,Sewa,Daya te Sach roopi yodheyan de sahare enha naal jhoojhna hai.Ta hi Man de kile te fateh ho sakagi, ta hi man vich vasde Parmatma tak pahuch ho sakegi. MAN JITE JAG JIT.
· Sikh nu Guru agge apni mang rakhan da adhikaar hai, par eh gal dhyan rahe ki usdi mang Vikaaran di poorti layi na hove. Nahi te haalat eh ban jayegi ki "Bin Tudh Hor Je Mangna, Sir Dukha Ke Dukh" Guru da gyan le ke Sikh eh mang karda hai "De Naam Santokhia, Utre Man ki Bhuk"
· Prem te Moh vich thoda hi antar hai. Kisi padarath/vyakti layi pyaar di bhavna rakhna Prem hai. Par jad eh sade man nu apne adhin kar le, ta eh Moh da roop le lendi hai. Gurmat sansar naal Prem karan to nahi rokdi, par kisi de moh vich Guru de bhane nu na kabulna, Gurmat to ult hai.

405th installation anniversary of Sri Guru Granth Sahib
2009-09-19 18:40:00
People of all religions and communities gathered to celebrate the 405th anniversary of the installation of the Sikh holy scriptures, Sri Guru Granth Sahib, at Gurudwara Maithan in Agra.
This was a significant landmark for the Sikhs, as the 275-year-old handwritten scripture, whose front pages are written with gold, was put on display for the devotees.
"The Guru Granth Sahib has the preaching or 'bani' of famous poets like Kabir ji, Guru Ravidas ji and Baba Farid ji. It is symbol of humanity and so people of all the religions have gathered here to celebrate the 'Prakash Parv', the installation ceremony together," said Kanwldeep Singh, President of Sri Gursikh Sabha.
Also on display was a miniature scripture of Guru Granth Sahib, which has been preserved at the Gurudwara Maithan for the past 15 years.
"We have Guru Granth sahib of 1 X 1 inches long. The British for the convenience of Sikh soldiers especially designed the holy book during the First World War, as they could not carry a normal sized book in the battlefield. The miniature Guru Granth Sahib was printed in Germany. It was kept in a silver box," said Gyani Kashmir Singh, head Granthi of Gurudwara Maithan.
To mark the anniversary of the installation of Guru Granth Sahib, special prayers were also held in the Gurudwara premises, which once the house of Mai jassi that was visited by Guru Sri Tegh Bahadur.he gurudwara is currently undergoing renovation and will be expanded to facilitate the large number of devotees visiting the shrine.
A total of 20 million dollars will be spent on renovation and construction of new Gurudwara, a 100-bed hospital and a community hall.
Gurudwara Maithan also upheld the tradition of Langar, which has been followed over the centuries. Guru Arjan Dev and Mata Ganga set the precedent of preparing and serving food to the hungry, in the langar hall, where all social, economic and religious barriers collapse and all - the laborer, the lord, the peasant and the prince, are treated alike and served the same food in the same manner.
This is a practice of great social significance, and it is the key to the understanding of Sikhism.

Real Gurmat Prachar
Dear Veerji,
I happened to come accross your website ( http://www.sohnijodi.com/ ) and read the Gurmat Prachar page. I must say, that I totally agree with your point of view. There is an urgent need for proper and practical means of Gurmat Prachar.
We, in a small way are doing our share of Sewa to bring awareness of Gurmat Principles into Sikh Sangat. We collect Katha/Kirtan audio files as well as articles from various sources, make CDs of them and distribute amongst every Sikh we meet, free of cost. Though we have been doing this for some time now, and have seen positive results, but we still feel, we are working on a very small scale and are not able to reach the Sikh masses.
For the same cause, I realized that rather than telling people about Gurmat principles on individual basis, why not urge them to attend Katha programmes or atleast listen to Katha CDs. Trust me, Gurbani Vichar/Katha works tremendously in clearing your doubts/ thoughts about Gurmat. So, we are now trying to promote Katha programmes amongst Sikh Sangat. In the same regards, we wrote a short write up which we are distributing amongst all. Pls. find the same attached to this email.
Anyways, if you want a copy of the CDs we distribute, just let me know. I will courier it to you.
