Be careful

I just wanted to let the sangat know on this forum that you should always be vigilant about other forum members on this forum. Please do not disclose your own personal information( ie tell your real name, gender, place of birth etc) to someone on this forum just because you think they have gian or have 100+ posts on this forum and you think they are in "chardikala." For example, i once posted a question on this gupt section of this forum and one of the forum members told me to send him a PM. So, i thought this person wanted to help me out, so i created a account on this forum and sent him a PM, and then he replied back and said that it would be easier for him to discuss …

TEDxGlasgow talk on Porn effects on body.

I hope this is allowed and the sangat can be mature about this. We shouldn't suppress such discussions as they cause more problems if we can't understand them. Becoming addicted to such things will deprive you of success in everything* in life.

Question on death 1 2
by Guest Gsk1993- 11 replies
- 1.6k views
I am very confused and concerned about what happens to the soul, if there is one, in the afterlife. A relative of mine took her own life recently in uncertain circumstances. I know that in the Christian and Muslim faiths this is seen as a major sin. What is the opinion on what happens to the soul in Sikhi if someone takes their own life, is murdered or dies in an accident. Is the time or cause of death predetermined? Is there even anything beyond death. I am very confused and I apologise if I cause offense. I just don't know who to ask.

Hair / nails / mutation sikhism
by Guest Confused- 7 replies
- 2k views
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa ,Waheguru Ji ki Fateh Everyone, I have a doubt. I read somewhere in the forums that we dnt cut hair because they are living(living cells) where as we cut extended nails because they are non living(dead cells). What if a sikh is born with a rare mutation ,example : a extra hand or something which is living but of no use.(the cases you see on discovery or national geography). Is he/she allowed to cut(obviously through operation) it? Now one more thing,Due to hair at my private parts I have got a fungal infection.Doctor simply said the reason was water clogging after bath. And no matter whatever you do it wont dry(i cant simply use a dryer)..and …

I'm inlove with this guy and I don't know what to do. We both used to be close last year. He hugged me everyday and we used to sit in sangat together like everyday. We did Charan dhoor together too. He told me that I was the best sister ever. I used to think of him as a brother but my feelings changed and I never told him. He made me so happy. Then one day he stopped talking to me I became invisible and I didn't exist for him anymore. I didn't know why and I still don't know why. I became very upset and it took me awhile to put myself together. Recently I started thinking about him and I miss the old days. I sent him a msg telling him how I feel. His exact words were If u…

Sat sri akal sangat I am really confused, I came from a pre wedding party today and to see how many men in dastars who were off their rocker indulging in whiskey but the topic on the table was smoking is bad (which i understand) but not a bad word of sharab?, it really fueled me Because in my eyes they are not worthy how having a dastar or being a singh alltogether, they made it out as if the more you drink the more of a shere u are why this mentality? I regret not kicking off

New to Sikhi 1 2

Greetings to all: I am far from a Gurdwara, and I'm not sure how to remedy this just yet. Perhaps linking up with the local Sikh Student Association, may prove the most useful... While that is working it itself, I would like to become familiar with Sikhi. I have started reading from Sir Guru Granth Sahib, the daily Hukum, reading about the Gurus, small doses of the Rehat Maryada, bits of brief history of Punjab, and the controversy of 3HO within Sikhism, etc. Naam jaap/simran have made a regular appearance within my daily routine as well, a happy addition to the day. I come from an Islamic-Orthodox Christian background. Such devotional acts (reading, praying, apply…

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.
