Baba Lakh Data Peer and Dargahs
by Guest learner sikh- 3 replies
- 2.9k views
Sangat jee, on my last visit to Punjab, I noticed so many dargahs and tiny shrines dedicated to different muslim peers, most popularly Baba Lakh Data. I also noticed and heard that in most pinds they have at least one dargah dedicated to a peer. How come there is so much sufi influence in Punjab? Did anyone else notice this?

Feeling disconnected from Waheguru Ji
by Guest Kaurgupt- 0 replies
- 36 views
Hello, Sat Sri Akal I’m seeking advice regarding feeling disconnected from Babaji. Due to a recent event in my life (which I feel guilty for), I have been feeling very disoriented and unaligned from Waheguru Ji. I have been doing nitnem and ardaas multiple times everyday but it still doesn’t feel like I’m in tune with Babaji yet. I have asked for clarity and forgiveness from Babaji but I don’t feel that Waheguru ji is listening. Maybe it’s my guilt that’s causing this but looking for advice to move forward. apologies if I have said something wrong or offended anyone. Thank You

Physical relation or par istri sang is bujjer kurehit. what about mental lust on par istri? I believe this is also BK? With new kal yug morcha - porn - this is also BK? What if someone accidentally did huth russ(masturbation) but thought only of their own wife would that also be BK? What does DDT maryada say? See attachment.

Mind wandering during Simran
by Guest Pawandeep- 0 replies
- 46 views
Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh I have a question for which I need suggestion/help from the members basee on their experience and learning. Whenever I sit to do path or simran, my mind wanders a lot. Its been 5 months now but I cant fix my mind at one place even for 2 minutes. Sometimes when I am doing path I would not even realise that I have finished half of the path and not being there. My mind is day dreaming and thinking various things and the visions are in front of me This is really painful as I try my level best to concentrate but after a while I am somewhere else. I want to be able to develop my focus and grow from there. I …

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh When I path/simran I get bad thoughts. I start saying bad things to Guru Ji and Gursikhs, and it distracts me and puts me off sometimes when I get a lot. It makes me feel down and I start getting headaches when I force my self to try and focus. I feel guilty, that these thoughts are coming. When I wake up or am half asleep these thoughts come, and I feel that Guru Ji won't really love me or the Gursikhs. Sometimes my mind says bad stuff to happen to my family or friends, I don't mean these thoughts they just come. Is it ok if i just say Waheguru and ignore these thoughts when they come? Any advice on how to stay strong …

Sleeping And Reciting 1 2

- 3.7k views
Might be a wierd question but it is something that I thought about after it had happened. Sometimes (when I say sometimes, I mean like maybe once every 5-6 months), when I'm asleep I kinda wake up. I'm still asleep, my body is still asleep, I know I'm still asleep. I know of nothing around me. I don't whether it's day or night outside or anything but I'm awake. Wierd to explain - bit like a lucid dream when you know you're dreaming and you can start to control it, except on these occasions, I'm not dreaming. Any way, I'm asleep and awaken gradually whilst still in my sleep. As I wake up whilst still asleep, I find my mind reciting Japji sahib. It's wierd, it's like a ta…

Hazur Sahib Maryada
by Guest Sevak- 0 replies

Has anyone lived for a considerable time in Hazur Sahib or knows family there. I have heard it is routine for amritdhari sikhs to take alcohol and other drugs? Is this true? Does the Takht Hazur Sahib consider Alcohol as one of the bujjer kuraits? Do almost all Nanded Sikhs take alcohol.

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.
