Sri Guru Granth sahib is a compilation of holy scriptures of our 6 Guru sahibans teachings, most importantly its Gods word for humanity. Guru Granth Sahib is not only for Sikhs its for all of humanity.

Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji (Rarewale) was one of those who cured many people while guiding them to Gurbani

Sants are the messengers of God helping humanity

Sants are the messengers of God helping humanity

Baba ji brought many towards the path of Sikhi

True saints (Sants) are hard to find.

IT IS SAID THAT THIS WORLD IS ONLY SURVIVING DUE TO THE SAINTS AND GOOD PEOPLE..OUR PRAYERS INCLUDE THE BLESSINGS FOR ALL..

Only when we get into trouble we pray

REMEMBER WAHEGURU AT ALL TIMES..

True SEVA from the heart.removes ego.

How comes you are not in a poor family in Africa?

Or a born joined together like the Siamese twins?

Why are there problems in life?

Make the effort to learn Punjabi so we can pass it on to the future - it is not difficult - just need time & effort

Now compare your school with most of the schools there!

As you can see Punjab is a small part of India(north west)

Do you know where you village is?

Sikhs stand at approximately 23 million!!! 6th largest

Punjab is our real homeland , regardless of where you are born or live

This is langar being served at GurdwaraCompare it with what we get here

British and Sikh army officers in 1873

Sikhs during world war I

Sikh women such as .

Sikh women even fought in world war II..

Sikh women are more hard working than men..

We must not forget Shaheed Uddam singh

There is a movie based on his life story.

We must never forget Shaheed Bhagat Singh

Make the effort to learn about the heros of the past

We must never forget Sant (soldier)

Sant Bhindranwale who has been accused of being an Indian Gov. person.

But the truth is he stood up for Sikhism and fought till death!

Thousands of innocent Sikhs are arrested for no reason, many never found - many found dead!

Bhai Ghanaiya saw God In everyoneHe served Sikh soldiers and enemies alike.

So what makes a true sikh?

What are the qualities?

Trees are being cut downwe are losing forests/junglesso fastmuch of it for cattle which needs land for feed- so it can be killed for us. For McDonalds & our dinner

ANIMALS HAVE FEELINGS TOO..

Another sign of animal cruelty which they think is a game.

Animals go through pain, torture - once you see it...

Edgar Cayce

1877-1945

Our own people drinkingsmoking.doing drugs

This city had to put the sign up.

Alcohol is no good regardless of your age!

Why is this happening to me?

Meanwhile our earth is suffering..fix it 1st(in Sikhism we call earth our mother)
