Hi, everyone. Can you share what your stereotypes are about Sikh girls? The good, the bad, the ugly? For example: Indian girls (in general) are stereotyped as hairy, prudish, nerds, get fat after 1-2 kids, really smart (even the dumb ones), not as attractive as other ethnicities, loyal, good cooks. What do men here personally stereotype Sikh women as from your experiences with them? I'd like to know even if it hurts, thanks.

Wjkk wjkf Ive been on steroids for a while now and had a phew questions I was on steroids before i took amrit and after i took amrit and was just wondering if i have broke my amrit. Amritdhari singhs are what got me doing it, and i wasnt amritdhari then so i saw no issue. But then other people say diffrent. Now i know people say they dont agree with it and sikhi wouldnt promote it, but have i broken my amrit by taking them and have to go peshi. Personally i think its fine but wanted others opinions???

Stopping Eating Meat 1 2 3
by Guest Slow_Adopter- 21 replies

I've been wearing a pagh for about 3 months now, I'm not a gursikh by any means. I still trim my beard but I have given up alcohol and going to clubs and bars. I feel the next step for me is to stop eating meat. I'm quite into fitness and building muscle so I consume quite a bit of protein. I eat chicken pretty much every day. I know I can get the protein from daal, sholay, kidney beans etc, but the problem is when I'm outside at work, I don't eat much meat at home. There really aren't that many options for vegeterians that want a substantial amount of protein in their food. Can anyone give me advice on how they beat eating meat and still ate nutritious food. Thanks.

Strange feeling that I am getting while doing paath and feel "unhappy" when I think about paath
by Guest Someguy- 7 replies

Hey guys. So I have been doing paath for around 6 months everyday but I always feel like something is missing. At first I did Japji Sahib and then Chaupi Sahib. I thought this feeling would go away if I did Tav Prasad Savyea. So I did this. After 2 months, I felt the feeling again. So I though of doing Jaap Sahib (as I always wanted to do that but it was too hard ). I did this for a few days the feeling when away (for like 3 days) but that feeling is back again. Why is this feeling there? Also everytime I think about bani I feel like that, do you guys know the feeling of being soo happy and then you remember that feeling and then when you get that feeling,…

Strange Question...looking For Answers. (Serious) 1 2
by Guest Vigillance- 17 replies
- 3.7k views
This is a tough question I need to ask, but I have been suffering with this for a long, long time. I have a certain mental issue...I've been dealing with for as long as I could remember. It causes me to lose control of my inner thinking. Sometimes I say (in my mind), and think of things that I would never truly mean. I can't control these thoughts. I'm far too embarassed to tell anyone about it. I'm a Sikh and, of course, I respect God (of course, again.) This is going to be tough to explain, because it's really embarassing to reveal too much, but... Sometimes this mental issue causes me to say (in my mind), and wish for things I would truly never, want to happen. So…

Hello everyone, I am currently a teenager living in the United States. Growing up, I have always been accustomed to sikhism--my parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts--all have very strong faith and path everyday. Moving to America, it has been a little hard for them to translate this faith into me, I live in a predominantly white town, with the closest Gurudawara being 2 hours away. I know how to speak basic punjabi, I've learned it all my life, and I do path everyday—once in the morning, once before I go to sleep. However, know that I am growing up, I want to take my faith to the next level. I have had small instances where I really felt the presence of God with me/aroun…

Stress.... 1 2
by Guest k- 11 replies

How do u all deal with stress? I am in a situation where I've got family as well as work problems at the moment and as a result, I get headaches almost every day. This means I miss my amritvela coz i wake up every morning with a headache and then go back to sleep, hoping it will get better if i rest some more. But then I feel guilty all day about missing my amrit vela!! I try to do simran/bani while working during the day, but I've got so much stuff going round in my head that i really cant concentrate. So what's the best way of overcoming the stress (and the headaches)?

I feel really upset as I want to do Naam Simran but instead of waking up between 3-5am i end up waking up late around 7-8. Its starting to get on my mind and i feel guilty of not being able to get up. Is there any help or ideas you could give me to help get up earlier?

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.
