Rehraas Sahib is incompleteBy Ripu Daman SinghIn my Kindle 3G, I am getting the Gurmukhi script, so that's not an issue. But in Rehraas Sahib, the prayer ends without Chaupai Sahib and Anand Sahib bani. I am assuming that there is some error which need to be rectified urgently. The main/ full Chaupai Sahib bani is also missing completely in the List of Contents. Will recommend that the issues are addressed urgently. Overall, this is a very good objective to have Nitnem Banis on Kindle.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. NitnemBy JaneGreat product which contained the morning Sadhana prayer which is what I wanted for daily practice. However it does not contain all the evening prayers which is a shame and one prayer at least had no English transliteration and was unreadable to me as an English speaking person, even the Gurumuki script was not in English letter characters for this prayer? It is a shame that the Kindle cannot show the Gurumuki letter shapes. They appear as symbols throughout but the English script is fine. Overall an excellent product however for the price.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

AMRIT SANCHAR (GUIDE) from Victory and Virtue: Ceremonies and Code of Conduct of Sikh Dharma (The Office of the Bhai Sahiba)
AMRIT SANCHAR (GUIDE) From Victory and Virtue: Ceremonies and Code of Conduct of Sikh Dharma (The Office of the Bhai Sahiba) Set-Up For the Amrit Ceremony The Amrit ceremony can be held in the Gurdwara, or any room which has been cleaned and prepared to serve as the Guru’s Court. If there is an Akhand Paath in progress during the appointed time for the Amrit ceremony, then another Palki should be set up in another room, so that there is only one ceremony conducted per room. • It is preferable to conduct the ceremony during the Ambrosial hours, just before or at dawn; set-up, therefore, should be done the night before. • The Gurdwara or room to be used must be thoroughly cleaned prior to set-up. • Clean white sheets are to be put down to cover the entire floor. • Serving bowls for the Gurprashad, a kirpan to cut it, and napkins should be placed near the Guru, on a small table, for example. Be sure to place the Gurprashad on a table, and not on the floor. • Place fresh flowers before the Guru if they are available. • Place six Siri Sahibs (swords) in front of the Guru’s ramalas, for use by the Panj Piaray and the Granthi. • The single volume Gurmukhi Bir of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib is used, along with an English Translation. Each Hukam should be read out in Gurmukhi and then translated into English (or the language of the people present in the ceremony). • A nitnem should be kept near the Guru, to read the following banis in this order: Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, Tev Prasad Swaiya, Bayntee Chaupe, and Anand Sahib.

Journey with Sikhism
FAQ: Sikhs and Sikhism page 2 Sikhs & Sikhism Sikhism‐ The 5th largest religion in the world was established by Guru Nanak, born in 1469, and nine other Gurus who shaped and established a new path to attain God. The Sikh society is based on the principles of equality, human dignity and mutual respect. Their teachings have been the guiding principles for the entire international Sikh community which is also known as The Khalsa Panth. Who is a Sikh‐ Sikh is a student, a lifelong learner, a seeker of truth and justice, who lives by the 3 golden rules: First is Kirat Karni‐ to do hard and honest labor/work, then Vand Chakna‐ sharing one’s things with everyone including the less fortunate, and finally Naam Japna‐ reciting and contemplating on the name of God and meditating upon the virtues. A Sikh’s purpose of life is to realize and work towards understanding the oneness of the Creator and the creation, therefore viewing everyone as equal. Some core values for Sikhs are love for all, selfless service, humility, compassion, equality and justice for all. Sikh Identity‐ 99% of the people wearing a turban in The United States are Sikhs. The Turban or Dastaar is a head covering and it can be worn by male or female. Sikhs have long uncut hair known as Kesh, males have the hair tied up under a turban and females have it braided or tied up in a bun but some females choose to wear a turban. A young Sikh kid starts covering hair with a small turban known as a Patka.

Story of the Sahibzadey in Detail
Story of the Sahibzadey In detail BY Sikh Unit Sahibzadey - The young Martyrs As the festive period approaches, the Sikh people will be commemorating the martyrdom of Baba Fateh Singh Ji and Baba Zorawar Singh Ji on the 26th Dec. Many historians have given them the title of the world’s youngest martyrs. December 26th 1705 is seen as one the darkest days in Sikh history, when two young innocent children were mercilessly bricked alive by the mughal regime of Sirhind. Their supreme sacrifice should never be forgotten, and all Sikhs should draw inspiration from the valour and courage displayed by the young souls.... Vichora - The Separation The Mughals and the hill chiefs had promised to let Guru Gobind Singh Ji and his followers leave the fort of Anandpur unharmed. However they were very quick to revoke their promises. They began to mount an attack on the evacuating party. The Sikhs heavily outnumbered and tired after being held up in the fort for months, scattered in any direction they could find in the dark. In front of them lie the river Sirsa which was in spate, behind them was the blood thirsty enemy. Untold sacrifices were made on that fateful night of Dec 5th, as many Sikhs lost their lives either holding up the enemy to ensure a safe passage for the rest of the Sikhs, or by drowning in the Sirsa. Countless valuables, literature, and priceless pieces of handwritten work were lost forever. Gangu's Treachery The family of the Guru were also separated at this point, and were destined never to meet again.
