Tourette Sufferer...wannabe Sikh
by Guest My Friend!- 6 replies
- 1k views
He suffers from Tourettes but he's really into Sikhi, the only thing that is stopping him is his condition, he cant help it! I dread to think what will come out in Amrit Sanchar ceromony, hasnt been Gurdwara for 7 years cos he cant stop swearing. How can I console him? Any Advice? Anything from Gurbani I can give him that will help him cope. And we need awareness of such issues amoungst Sikhs some people take offensive but that is understandable he sez alot of really horrible things.

Memories Of Bhai. Fauja Singh

b]Memories of Bh. Fauja Singh: Interview with Bibi Amarjit Kaur[/b] Taken from So Kaheeat Hai Soora, August 2004 Translated by Admin www.tapoban.org When a time of darkness falls upon a community and its people are in a deep sleep, then Akaal Purakh sends some blessed souls who may only spend a short time on the earth but light the way of their people for centuries. These blessed souls spread the rays of truth, remove the darkness and awaken the long sleeping people. In 1978, the Sikh youth were in a deep sleep. Akaal Purakh at that time sent such a blessed soul, who, with the splashes of his blood, woke the Panth. That soul was Shaheed Jathedar Bhai Fauja Singh jee…

Interpretations

i have noticed that unfortunatley many of us will intepret gurbani to support our own views rather then using gurbani to make our views. for example, i came across an email recently which was using gurbani to try and show that a certain rehit is not gurmat and is pakhand. however all of the gurbani tuks had been totally taken out of context and not looked at from a neutral view point. if i get time i will post these tuks at a later date and discuss with the sangat the true meaning of them but i think that all of us (myself included) should read gurbani disregarding any of our own "peronsal" opinions of what is rite or wrong, and purely rely on gurbani. also we should …

Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh Ok to start off, i'm not amrtidhari yet, but am tryin to take amrit asap.i lives in Vancouver. My problem started a lil while back when i suddenly started to "like" this gurl. I am well aware that in sikhi everybody is supposed to be ur brother and sister, but i have no clu why i feel this way about this person. I seem to can't seem to stop thinkin bout her, except when i am doing paath, anddoing naam japna. But this feeling only goes away for a short period, as i realize i am thinkin of her again. We r friends but i rly don't understand what i can do to stop this from happening. I know its a crush but i was wondering, how t…

Overly Hairy Singh 1 2
by Guest Bullied- 19 replies
- 3.5k views
Im getting bullied and joked about by other Sikhs for being overly hairy, I am a western nation citizen so not only do I have to put up with Out of Sikh circles but inside aswell...when I was a teenager it affected me badly I got brutally bullied at school and Gurdwara that ment I didnt willingly go to either. I never gave up my sikh saroop because I thought I owed it to Shaheed Bhai Taru Singh Ji and other Gursikhs who went through worse torture...even so it got so bad I attempted sucide several times. In the past 4/5 years my white and non-sikh Close friends have helped me get more confidence in myself to a point where I didnt care what people thought in Public places…

Muslims Questioning Sikhs
by Guest Guest- 3 replies
- 953 views
ive heard how muslims would normally say to sikhs that Guru Nanak Devji was a muslim bcuz he prayed with muslims or he had a chola/ a bag (i think not sure correct me if im wrong) that had writing in urdu/arabic....and sikhs make other sikhs aware on this issue, so they dont fall in the trap.....but what answer do you give to the muslims when they approch u with this question?

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.
