Friends, I have a singh friend who would like to be wedding to a singh. What is Sikhisms saying about this? I know there are very knowledgable individual out in this forum and only these knowledgeable peoples should reply. The question is can a singh marry a singh to further their spiritual needs/can a singh marry a singh who would be willing to become a singhni in the quest for spirituality. These issue has been raised within the local Gurdwara committee and the names of the individuals have been kept gupt by myslef. We have concluded that we need to seek the answers from other prominent and knowledged sikhs around the globe before we appeal to the Akal Takth, t…

Prayers

When you are listening to prayers such as on You tube do you always have to have your head covered? Is it ok to do homework, eat whilst listening? Another q can you just ask God for what you want by covering your head and asking after praying or is it only if you do certain prayers? I have been depressed for months and have exams have been praying everyday and asking my mum to pray for me to get better. I have been listening to Sukhmani Sahib all day and feel so happy even though nothing in my life changed today but it gives me hope! I just want to listen non-stop. I was given antidepressants, counselling tried everything couldn't eat, sleep, cried all the time, did n…

Friends, I have come across a question amongst my colleagues and my discussion partners. We have come to ask anybody who has the information regarding the regulation size of the KASHARA. I know that some higher ranking singhs where large kashara because they can turn them into a tent while living in the jungle. However some singhs argue that a smaller kashara is also sufficient for the duties it is intended for. Some of the bibian have argued that the size does not matter however we are the having mixed information regards in this topic. Some Singhs I have contacted in the European market have advice me that velcro is being used because of its efficiency and ease …

our gurughar has rats (could be mice). i spend a lot of time there so ive cn them, only a few of us knw abt thm. the committee have made it clear theyre not going to do anything, their funds need to be spent elsewhere ie their own agenda. i dont think the council can do anything because the gurdwara is an independent body, if we were selling the food then i suppose they could intervene but ppl rnt paying for langar so... not sure abt this btw. can someone with a bit mre knowledge help plz. so anyone got a solution? and im not going to name this gurdwara, so dont bother asking!

Punjabi Not Mandatory In Punjab Schools , Other States Make Regional Languages Mandatory, Progressing Fast
by Guest Guest- 2 replies
- 732 views
The “State language” Punjabi in State of Punjab is not mandatory to be taught in schools. Can someone put light as why Punjab govt shy away from such decision. This is in light that there are many other states ( West Bengal(Bengali)l, Kerala(Malay am), Andra Pradesh(telgu) , Tamil Nadu (tamil)) etc which have made mandatory that all schools ( Govt, private,public,convent etc) have to thought their state languages in schools from class 1 to 10th. If you see recent education levels, It is the people from south India & even Bengal who are doing excellent in IT, Banking & Business management studies. Their boys get best high payi…

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.
