    Might delay Sikhs becoming a minority in Punjab for a few more years. Do these students actually study and work in a related field after their course or is it purely for immigration?

    Good website. Could they post the complete Sri Sarbloh Granth. I can’t find all of it online.
  7. BhForce started following GOOD SOURCE
  8. BhForce
    Thanks for this. It combines the four approved sources (Guru Granth Sahib ji, Dasam Granth Sahib, Bhai Gurdas ji (both Vaar and Kabitt), and Bhai Nand Lal ji in one place. The English translation is the Sant Singh Khalsa and the Punjabi is the Principal Sahib Singh. These aren't that great, but at least they are better than some even worse ones floating around these days.

    Good to know that our morning prayers don't disrupt your morning shaving routine.
  10. ipledgeblue started following Computer scientists NLP
  11. ipledgeblue
    Excellent idea. I was thinking about using AI in gurdwaras projectors can display shabad slides using AI software, as laptop operator sewadaars are not always present.

    Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then.

    yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectify this and khalsa should learn jhatka. But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
  16. BhForce
    How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
  17. BhForce started following How does one get out of suffering from the consequences of slander , is Khulla Maas Kurehit? , Answer to if Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji did jhatka and 2 others
  18. BhForce
    Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant? Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
  19. BhForce
    Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.

    Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
  21. BhForce
    Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
  22. BhForce
    First of all, while it's true that Gurbani says slandering a Saint has such-and-such effects, you can't do the reverse: You can't look and your situation and know for certain what caused it. We're not encouraged to mope over our situations but rather to accept the hukam (will). The last line of the very first pauri of Japji Sahib says to live in hukam: ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ hukam rajāī chalanā nānak likhiā nāl .1. O Nanak! By obeying, the pre-ordained order of the Lord's will. Secondly, the astpadhi from which you quoted the Sant ka dokhi verses has this verse at the end: ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਪਨ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇਇ ॥ jis nō kripā karai tis āpan nām dēi . God gives His Name to those unto whom He shows His mercy. So ask for his mercy. Also check out the 7th Astpadi, which talks about the good effects of the sangat of a Sadhu: https://khojgurbani.com/shabad/271/709?highlighted_scripture_id=12007&highlighted_scripture_lang=gurmukhi&selected_content=gurbani I'm not getting into who is a "true" Sadhu in this post.

    In langar it should be common sense for peopel to find a suitable space to sit. Normally in my local Singh Sabha gurdwara, there is enough space to sit, so I am able to find a space with enough space away from other people. There have been a few times, where there has been a lot of sangat and I have been forced onto a table. In Slough and Southall Singh Sabha, Park Avenue, I will just sit near another group of men unless I am with family, but again there shouldn't be strict gender separation and instead common sense logic.
  24. ipledgeblue
    Yeh I could do to be honest. It's not really chardikala to be coming from the diwan hall and then sangat putting on shoes to go langar. I like sitting in the gurdwara with family, and there are spaces for this in bigger gurdwaras such as Slough, Southall, Coventry. In my current local area gurdwaras this is not really possible for weekly sangat, and also not for sangrand and gurpurb. Need to complain about these tendikalaUK practices to be UK chardikala Singhs!

    WJKK WJKF Firstly, i really felt bad reading about your experiences. I myself am going through some super challenging times. But let me tell you one thing, but its just how i view it from my experiences. I am not as witty and knowledgeable as all the other Gurmukh contributers here. Please don't mind me being straight forward. Its the Hukum of Waheguru, whether bitter or sweet, that we have to accept no matter what. We are all facing our past life karmas after all. Looks like you are already standing at the door of Waheguru . Don't worry, take one step ahead and gurus will walk 10 steps towards you. Even if life doesn't stop throwing challenges, keep asking forgiveness of waheguru in your ardas everyday . Keep taking part in sewa. Keep doing nitnem, sangat. If your circumstances are unbearable sometimes, just ask Waheguru for guidance. I hope you get peace and may Waheguru bless you with Bharosadaan and Chardikala.

    They are a nuisance everywhere they go. It's only a matter of time before civil war in the west.
  27. Dsinghd
    They are well behaved during Ramadan. A Hadith states that gates of heaven are opened and Hell closed in this month.
  28. ChardikalaUK
    Who started the men and women sitting seperately in western gurdwaras? you don't see this behaviour in India. Will you complain about that as well?
  29. ChardikalaUK
    That is completely normal. This seperation of men and women is only found in western gurdwaras. In India families sit together whether it is in the Gurdwara proper or the Langar hall.

    shift work has benefits that a 9-5 does not, in terms of you can do things at times of days that others cannot. warehouse job you can do simran or keep your mind free to think about things that interest you/your ambitions. thats harder in office jobs etc where you have to use your mind more. DISAGREE, ANY job done needs the mind set to it. So warehouse will employees be busy stacking / labeling? (Physical movement). I would say though, probably Gatehouse Security can do Naam Simran all night long.
  31. Singh1989
    Can u get a family member or friend? But you mayhap to exchange the favour. Yes, go to Indian run one.
