A humble request make a video about “Nitnem” about panj bania because so many people including me don’t know which bani to read and when to read it (timing). Guru sahib forgive me that I don’t have this basic knowledge

[thudor]

The concept of langar is among the most altruistic I've ever seen. Its ideals are badly needed now....especially in the United States!!

[testimonydatabase]

I was wondering, how can I get an english copy of Guru Granth Sahib? Is there a website you'd reccomend to order one?

[mohammedmukhtar]

Langar is a concept of Islamic sufis Langar has been served at khawaja mohiuddin Christy darbar at ajmir Shereef 400 years before birth of guru Nanank sahib

[saphiashah]

Langar was practiced by the Sufi saints like sheikh baba farid in the time of guru Nanak

[Ashish-dycp]

why does langar put out weirdly to devotees didi? please tell didi ji

[sriradhe]

True Langar should be cooked with love, served with love ..this is true Langer which now is mostly cooked with Punjabi women talking nonsense, and serving unhygenicaly.
5 preparations make the Langer ...1- Roti 2- Dall 3 - Sabjhi 4- Rice 5- kheer or halwa or any sweet preparation ...that should be daily 5 preparations. ..simple but nutritious

Channel such as yours should be very careful in your research. You have incorrectly quoted ਕਰੀ ਪਾਕਸਾਲ ਸੋਚ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਹੁਣਿ ਲਾਵਹੁ ਭੋਗੁ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਏ for langar and bhog. This Shabad and these lines do not have anything to do with bhog to food that humans eat - this is not a Sikh principle. Please read the whole Shabad. If you are going to translate the lines literally like you have, then what are you going to do about the very next line of the same Shabad? ਦੁਸਟ ਬਿਦਾਰੇ ਸਾਜਨ ਰਹਸੇ .... Are you going to go out and physically kill people who are your enemies? Kindly edit and repost 🙏🏾
