Set ablaze by the Five Fires.

The burnt dross is transmuted to gold!
Guru Nanak, GGS:990.5 [translated by Manjyot Kaur]

sikhchic.com online poll: What are your views on gun-control?

  • Citizens should have the freedom to buy and own any guns they want.
    Our laws have gone too far -- we need to curtail public gun ownership.
    Guns should be completely banned ... except for military, police, and valid rural, protective and sports usage.
