Have I been an ungrateful person towards my organization and my boss ? feeling guilty
by Guest Prahlaad Singh- 1 follower

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh So I stay in India, and have been working in this organization as a software engineer for around more than 7 years now. The org is somewhat small , with around 150 people I think at most. It has felt really comfortable working with these guys. They're decently nice guys, atleast the boss I interacted with the most (he's director and cofounder of the org). I remember this job was a miracle from waheguru ji. I got it when I needed it the most. And a miracle had happened at that time. HR manager had kind of rejected me in the final round as he had better candidates, then this director guy had for some reason taken c…

Are namdhari allowed to do kirtan on gurdwara stages? did akaal thakat not ban this? If they are banned from doing kirtan why are gurdwara still inviting namdharis to do kirtan?

dealing with shame and guilt
by Guest Anonymous- 1 reply

mental health +guilt/shame/anxiety + accepting hukam So, i was wondering what parts of SGGS ji and Bani speaks on mental health as well as dealing with shane and what not. To elaborate, i have bpd and as such have trouble detaching shame/guilt/etc from my past actions/situations/circumstances. As i try to incorporate Naam more and more into my daily life, i become more and more educated on/aware of/conscious of past behaviours/their consequences/behavioural cycles that i had/have or regurgitated from family and loved ones. Thus, as i learn more (thanks to Waheguru ji ofc), i find myself hurting and feeling shame for the actions i had taken/ways i behaved and tre…

Grief, doubt and paath
by Guest Preet- 0 replies

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji Fateh, My question is in relation to feeling scare of doing paath. I used to do paath regularly and do ardaas for my mother's health but she passed away. then I did not do paath for many years. I gathered my courage and started praying when my brother fell sick and he also passed away. Now I am very scared of doing paath. I want to do it but feel scared that something might go wrong. Is babaji angry with me? If not, then why did this happen and how can I deal with it?

Beard curling 1 2 3
by Guest Guest Singh- 25 replies
- 8.3k views
Please have a look at the attached picture. After curling, the guy's beard looks cleaner and less messy without having to cut it. I think this is a better alternative to Sikhs who end up cutting their beards in the pursuit to "look good"/"presentable" or even a better alternative for trying the beard, although it does require you to go the same salon where kes are murdered everyday. Your thoughts?

Alcoholism recovery
by Guest Singh- 4 replies
- 122 views
I am struggling with alcohol use disorder - my drinking has put me in unsafe situations and I have no doubt that if I continue down this path, I will be back in jail or in the hospital. Does the Gurdwara or community have any resources that can help? I have looked into AA and things, but it felt cultish to me- I would prefer to pursue my recovery around the word of our Gurus, and I am not sure where to begin. Do I just show up to the Gurdwara and say I have an addiction problem? Do I perform service every time I feel a temptation? Any advice is welcomed.

https://www.punjabnewsexpress.com/diaspora/news/dr-jasbir-singh-sarnas-book-the-sikhs-in-jammu-and-kashmir-released-in-surrey-canada-176115 Dr, Jasbir Singh Sarna's book 'The Sikhs in Jammu and Kashmir' released in Surrey, Canada PUNJAB NEWS EXPRESS | July 30, 2022 06:24 AM FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestTelegramPrint By Hardam Mann SURREY, Canada: A function was held by Sikh National Archive at Lovely Banquet Hall in Surrey to release Dr Jasbir Singh Sarna's book ' The Sikhs in Jammu Kashmir'. The event was presided over by the Director of World Punjabi Center, Patiala. Prof Balkar Singh, Reverend Jaiteg Singh Anant of Haridarshan Memorial International Trust Canada and Gyan Singh Sandhu, Founder President of World Sikh Organization.... There is a very good historical account of the history of 17 historical places associated with Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and six Gurdwaras of the Sixth Patshah. Sri Guru Har Rai Ji went there in 1660 AD and Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1692 in Jammu. The description of going there is also found in this book. Dr. Sarna has presented the background of the Sikh state very well in it. The story of the tragic partition of 1947 is depicted in which 100 Kashmiri Sikh personalities (men and women) are identified with highly inventive figures and photographs. In chapter 14 of the book, the creative description of the eight decades and challenges of the Kashmir valley, the narrative of the ups and downs of human life like the Kashmir valley is also done with very appropriate research and vocabulary.... Dr. Sarna's book is political-free and is an important document of Kashmir through which Dr. Sarna has provided important information about Kashmir which is not available elsewhere. Through this book it is known about the very close relationship between Kashmir and Sikhs... -

Beleive me. Being for Sarbat Da Balah is key we just don't do it correctly. But we should be sealing Ardas with it without fear. Iften times when we think we're acting in the spirit of Sarbat Da Balah we aren't. We're serving people instead of Guru Ji and selling ourselves short. Which isn't Seva or Sarbat Da Balah. -
