I am looking forward to Vaisakhi as I am sure that many of you are on this board I feel now is the ultimate time to network with and spread the message to all Sikhs whether khesdari or amritdhari that we are all one and will go on to create a new world using our religion and rich history and culture that is the culture of the Jatts, Tharkhans and any other faction with a history in Sikhism. Now is NOT the time to forget our rich history like the communists want us to and be a carbon copy of each other we should all share our diversity and not let the nasty minority who want to use the caste issue to divide us prosper and win. As Sikhs we are all individuals just as the …

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh Sangat ji i jus wanted to start off by sayin im pretty down about how the sangat is in bedford im pretty sure iss like this everywhere its all divided by caste, being an amritdhari sikh its a major downer and i want to do something to help unify this town, its basically because i was told to be one of the panj piyaareh for the gurdwara in kempston and im at uni so i unfortunately couldnt make it BUT im annoyed because there is not many other sikhi youth who are amritdhari to help and that i know of who go to the gurdwara and alot of sikhs in bedford are caste related and i want to do something to help instead of being one of the…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. I have heard stories from elders that at least the first baba from the dera wasn't revered as some Guru or leader, i heard he just did simran and got people closer to Guru Granth Sahib Ji, is this true? I want to know because i have some family that is inside the dera completely brainwashed and heard they are creating new granths and other material to confuse the followers until their death, something that deeply saddens me. If someone tries to tell them your only Guru is Guru Granth Sahib Ji they say no there are many Gurus you guy sjust can't see it. I heard after the second baba the third thug/chore brought his thugs and t…

Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it. -
Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.
