   I'M A Bad Person 1 2

   vjkk vjkf I'm 19 and I've been amritdhari, for a year now. I took amrit because I do feel longing for Guru sahib, for gurbani, for akaal purakh. But I also took it because I knew it was the right thing to do. Over the last year, I've grown spiritually, but I have a problem. Things like kaam, having relationships (with opposite sex), and partying, all those bad things I see in the world....I want to do. I know this is horrible, and I won't do them, I'm a gursikh, and I know how and why these things are bad. But I still have a desire to do these things. Is this what the five vices do to us? Is this what all people want? Are all people attracted to those things that …

   I'm Losing Faith In Sikhism. How Do I Tell My Parents? 1 2 3 4

   Okay I'm 16 Years old and I have found some discrepancies in Sikhism that have caused me to lose faith. First of all guru Nanak dev ji did all he could to avoid violence and he was automatically respected wherever he went. Guru gobind Singh ji was war oriented and proclaimed Sikhs as the warrior race. Guru gobind Singh ji also said that we must keep a turban and Kesh. On the other hand guru Nanak dev ji said in one of his sakhis where the pandit was tying a bracelet on him, that he won't wear it because no exterior feature will help someone reach god. In addition guru Nanak dev ji said that it doesn't matter what religion you are as long as you're one with god and are hum…

   I’m lost Im 27 and male. I don’t know where im going I have no direction and don’t know what to do. From my age you would presume that I have got a degree or had many jobs by now. Even a career. But because of my mental issues and social phobias. I haven’t got any qualification or never had a job. I have been ashamed all my life of the condition that destroyed every part of my life. from my education to firendships to just about everything imaginable. everything good was sucked out because of my condion. it crippled me. And I couldnt do anything to stop it. it was like a disease that wouldnt go away and just kept on destroying every part of my life. Before you judge…

   I'm Meditating, How Much Further?

   February 28, 2015 by Guest _prayer

   Hi. I've been meditating steadily for a year and a half. The past few months Ive made sure to recite naam out loud. That's had an effect. I feel some sensations, more than I did when I prayed in silence. I'm praying so I can have a free mind and spirit. How long does that take? Is it possible that destiny will take charge and bring people and opportunities to me? I have a feeling I won't be free unless I have a kundalini awakening. That may take forever, so I'm stuck until then. PS - Does going to concerts help the wave inside going? I'm thinking about going if it can move me forward. Thanks

   vaheguru ji ka khalsa, vaheguru ji ke fateh. This might sound so silly but I'm not quite sure what's wrong with me at the moment. I'm not sleeping at night, I keep staying up so late which is building masses of stress and anxiety. I'm getting about 4 hours sleep each night and I have to work full time. Like tonight I'm really stressed I was ready for bed at half 9 but then I came downstairs n ended up eating chocolate and cookies etc. I have an eating disorder n I know when i'm tired I should sleep because it affects me in such a bad way when i eat bad things. For the past two hours I have just been reading posts and listening to Kirtan, when I should have been sleeping.…

   I'm Sure Most Of You Want Approve Of This

   but I know someone who wants to tie a dastar but ONLY if it looks good. Else he will not start tying a turban. He wants to tie it like Rocket Singh does it in the movies... here is a picture http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/2478/brahe.jpg Any idea what cloth/style the bhag is? Any videos that would show it to tie like that? Any help is appreciated. Just remember if one starts tying a dastar they will more likely stay on the path of Sikhi.

    I am a 27 year old man from Indiana (USA). I was raised as a christian since birth and was heavily involved with our non-denominational church. By the time I was 17-18 I had many doubts that had never been answered. I have been agnostic since that time and have looked into many religions on my own and in college. I was never introduced into sikhism until I started looking into the science of hair which has always fascinated me. After doing some reading I stumbled upon some sikh blogs and realized I had much more to identify with than any other religion. I still consider myself slightly agnostic. I feel I must be humble and realize that I have no way of knowing what…

    I've Been Engaging On Other Forums

    I have found many of them very hostile to exegesis, I believe it is important to engage with people we disagree with or with those who disagree with me.. I think it is important to do this as otherwise I would be surrounded by like minded sycophants with whom I generally have a lot in common.. What do other people think?

    I've Cut My Hair..

    Hi All, this might be a little bit of a read but here's background. I started growing my hair when i was 16, my family were all against it and asked numerous times that if i took this path i would have to stick with it, 3 months later i took Amrit and it was amazing. I went strong for a very long time, i made some mistakes but i did my pesh and carried on with my life. Over the years i became lazy, slacked with Bani and AmritVelah and eventually stopped doing it altogether by the time i hit uni (18). I then started eating meat, my parents were totally supportive and said it was okay and have been eating it ever since, i kept my dari and kesh and carried on. After a whi…

    I've Done Something Wrong 1 2

    I'am a Keshdhari Sikh, looking to take amrit soon . However recently i was at the end of some racial abuse on a bus. A few white youths (chavs) made some remarks about my dastaar. Upon hearing all this abuse i lost my sense of control and attacked the youths. I didnt use my sarbloh kara or any weapon just my hands, elbows and knees. A few passengers tried to hold me back, but my sheer rush of andrenaline was enough to push them away and i continued attacking these chavs until i got kicked off the bus. Ever since this incident, i have been lablled a psycho by my friends. Sangat jee what can i do to replinsh these sins i have committed?

    Hi guys, I'd just like to know if a normal set of shorts will qualify as a kashera? Or what if you have something which is quite similar to the standard sort but has like a little logo of a duck. I mean.. it does the same thing but would would it be considered controversial? Thanks alot.
