Please, please, please watch this entire video. Not because you don't know the who, what and why of the Anand Karaj, but because of the way Bhai Jagraj Singh addresses the issue in a very diplomatic and eloquent manner. Take note because chances are the punjabis who are spewing hatred on the internet won't watch this, but you can watch it and become a beacon of information instead which can be much more effective. I feel like this video in its entirety should be the standard for how to address this issue. If I'm not mistaken, not a single point was left out in this educational video. If Sikh community in UK can get on the same page, then the hippy fake liberals who will…

Islam is nothing but an exact copy of Judaism. Lets just say for arguments sake that that there are good things in islam. I have not studied Islam so I do not know what these could be. But lets just say there maybe good aspects in their beliefs, customs and rituals. ie fasting, circumcision, halal meat. None of these are actually Islamic but Jewish. when people say they are proud to be muslim. what they are really saying is they are proud to be Jewish. but hiding behind the label of islam, the entire religion of islam is a carbon copy of Judaism. from fasting, halal meat. all come from the jewish faith. jews eat kosher and muslims are allowed to eat kosher meat…

We as a punjabi community have one big weakness. Instead of doing proper research and analysis about a subject, we quickly form opinions and most of the times these opinions are extreme in nature. Shaheedi degh is made by a special process.(salotar and sunehra) and only 5 cannabis leaves are put( I know in most places nihangs overdo the number of leaves and this needs to be corrected). I have had shaheedi degh couple of times and from personal experience I am 100% sure that Shaheedi Degh if made with proper maryada and right amount of cannabis leaves is the best medicine in the world.

Hello, I've noticed a disturbing new fashion trend among young singhs. It used to annoy me when I'd see young singhs with substantial dharis wearing patkas instead of proper pags. I don't get it. I think a patka with a beard looks sloppy, childish, and embarrassing. But many young men think a proper pagri makes them stand out more and wearing a patka helps them slip under the radar. Now, many young men have taken it a step further. Patkas still make it a bit difficult to "hide" since the joora is sticking out on top. So the latest "innovation" is to tie the joora at the back of the head and then cover the head with a bandana. This is just embarrassing. Why are…

WJKK WJKF For those who don't know, Balbir Bazighar is one of the "Jathedars" (quotations because he is fake) for Budha Dal. Budha Dal is currenty split into three. The true Jathedar, accoring to maryada, Akaali Baba Prem Singh The one who is believed to be the Jathedar, after Sangat didn't want Balbir to be Jathedar, Akaali Baba Joginder Singh The fake one, Balbir Bazighar. My question is, how did he suddenly gain so much influence? Did the government bribe him, etc? WJKK WJKF

Saw the following on Tapoban. It is important that they are stopped from doing this. Firstly with the vast numbers of youth going astray in Punjab and falling victim to drugs etc this money could be better spent. Secondly the same jatha did the bodge up gold plating at the Darbar Sahib and refuses to accept the work is shoddy and destructive despite being told so by many experts. Perhaps they are publicity crazy. I know that after they did the bodge up gold plating job on the Darbar Sahib that a few people who go to Soho Road were openly boasting about how first Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji did the seva and now their Bhai Sahib had done it. Only a few months ago we had the…

I've been reading into shia sect of Islam and it has some of its similarities with Sikhism apart from the obvious differences. Does anyone know whether Guru Nanak Ji muslim friends, followers and assocaites were more shia or not? Because I've read that Guru ji was given the title of peer which is reserved for holy figures in shia islam if im not mistaken.

There is also a growing number of Punjabi in diaspora that are converting to Christianity. Wont be surprised if Punjab becomes majority Christian state within 5-10 years or less. Really sad and heartbreaking

There is a enclosed room with 4 gold doors at Hazur Sahib which no one is allowed to enter. People often tell 1 story where once a woman entered the room without consent and ended up getting core all over her as soon as she stepped into the room. Apparently, this is the room where Guru Gobind Singh entered before their physical depart from the world in 1708. Guru Ji strictly ordered the Sikhs to turn their back against the room and not turn back till a specific moment. After this Guru Ji disappeared. Some say they went into the clouds with their horse, others have other stories to tell. Only 1 bramgyani is allowed in that room. He has to do seva until he dies. The bram g…
