Losing belief in Waheguru - don't know what to do? 1 2 3
by Guest Confused- 25 replies

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh I was hoping I could receive some help for a problem I've been having for a while now.. I was fortunate enough to take Amrit a couple of months ago and I had been wanting to for a year or so. However since a couple of weeks, everytime I try to do Simran or read Gurbani, my mann keeps coming up with things like "Does God even exist?" "Why am I doing this?" and it's gotten really bad. At first I ignored it, then it got worse, I tried to explain using the science argument but it still kept talking. Then I explained that everything about Sikhi proves it. Then it kept saying "What if none of that is real?" which is pretty dumb be…

What's your view on sikhs kissing in public? Is it acceptable or not? Is there anything in sikhi which indicates it's wrong to do that? I personally wouldn't do that, iv had a traditional upbringing and that the way I am. But is it right or wrong?

Sikh Channel
by Guest Gupt- 1 reply
- 282 views
We've seen over the passed few days an appeal to keep Sikh Channel functioning and for people to set up direct debits as a way of contributing/sewa. As with everything we do, we should do some due diligence checks before parting with any money. Mr Davinder Singh Bal's records at Companies House and the Solicitors Regulation Authority show he has a potted history of being involved in companies that have gone into liquidation. Kam (the presenter and person named as in charge) doesn't appear on Companies House as a director of Sikh Channel CIC. It's all well and good to support Sikh ventures but one should be mindful of what's actually going on and is Sikh Channel…

Deist Sikhs and an experiment on prayer
by Guest DumbIdiotBanda- 1 reply
- 185 views
WJKK WJKF I was scrolling through the sikh reddit the other day and found this So... a bit weird isn't it? I have been watching this man's podcast and it quite honestly makes a lot of sense, except when it doesn't. From a previous question to the sangat, I came to the informed conclusion from Gurbani that Reincarnation is a state of mind as well as an actual occurance, and that is one thing I will have to take on faith. But this seems quiet odd, knowing that a literal study on prayer has been published and it has results that were negative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficacy_of_prayer I read this wikipedia ar…

How does one get out of suffering from the consequences of slander

Dear piyaare Sangat Jeeo I have a humble request to ask - how does one get out of suffering the consequences of slandering a saint. My background and story is complicated and so I will try to explain it in as much detail as possible in hopes that someone can help me. I am a 26 years old male who has been trying to practice sikhi, since as long as I can remember as a child. Since the start of this janam I have came into this world with a deaf ear (left ear). I suffer from mild to moderate hearing in my only functioning ear (right). This has lead me to believe that I may have slandered people in the past (possibly even a saint) to get this punishmen…

Warning for the future

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh I thought I would post here since people here aren’t total missionaries. I used to be a poster here, but I quit many many years ago, after quitting I focused on my life but also did my own Jaap of bani and focused on that, I was fortunate enough to be blessed by Maharaj in a small capacity. But the times approaching are going to hell for us as a people and for the world. Guru Sahib warned us already, but we’ve not heeded at all. I should warn you that in Gurmat, Prophecies rarely have dates because a Mahapurakh is able to do Ardaas and Guru Nanak Sahib Ji will then push the event back and lower its effect. Baba Nand Si…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh When I path/simran I get bad thoughts. I start saying bad things to Guru Ji and Gursikhs, and it distracts me and puts me off sometimes when I get a lot. It makes me feel down and I start getting headaches when I force my self to try and focus. I feel guilty, that these thoughts are coming. When I wake up or am half asleep these thoughts come, and I feel that Guru Ji won't really love me or the Gursikhs. Sometimes my mind says bad stuff to happen to my family or friends, I don't mean these thoughts they just come. Is it ok if i just say Waheguru and ignore these thoughts when they come? Any advice on how to stay strong …

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji ki Fateh Note: I will not answer any replies. So this issue really killed my nerves.I ts about the Singh AND Kaur, worldwide,but mostly from India, which date/try to make relationships through chatting on Instagram. About two or three years ago, I was using Instagram (Kaal) like many people do. I OFTEN got text messages of "AMRITDHAARI" (looking?) Singh's, which tried to build a relationship with me. I sometimes replied to some. After doing some normal chit chat, They said things like I love you, stay with me etc ...There were times where I got into it. Because I hadn't the Sojhi, and Sumat, which satguru Ji ga…

VJKK VJKF Sangat Ji, I apologize for the amount of posting I have been doing and realize its probably getting annoying, but I have just one massive issue that I need to resolve before signing off for a month or so. How the hell do I prove to myself god is real?? As mentioned the Help with Kaam Post I had a run in with Atheism a while ago and the color it stained me just wont rub off. This uncertainty is getting me nervous and I don't know how to stop it. I had a point where my nitnem was regular with lots of kirtan added and that was absolute Chardikala but I became too lenient and started loosing my fear of god. If anyone on this forum is an Ex Atheist please…

Questions about BJJ and other martial arts and sikhi

VJKK VJKF I am planning on enrolling in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes soon. I have a few questions about how I could enrol while planning on taking Amrit. How would I keep rehit of the kakkars while practising my skills without hurting my opponent in the gym? Back when I was younger I enrolled in Taekwondo and they usually told me to take off my kara so I would not hurt my opponent while sparring. Currently my only solution is keeping my kara and a small kard or kirpan in my Kes, but this also raises another question. If I tied a normal or commando style patka, they are quite stable, but my kakkars would probably rip the cloth. I’m not going to wear a Dumala unles…

Is that...? ਵਖੜਿਆ ਦਾ ਝਟਕਾ? and not ਬਕੜਿਆ ਦਾ. Unique ones not goat ones. -
Was listening to Sant Ji's katha on youtube. Sant ji stated apart from the traditional raags, there is nothing wrong if Kirtan is sung in other NON - Raags set up by our Guru Ji's. His example: Think of poison in a bowl. Drinking the poison then blaming the bowl is silly. The poison is bad not the bowl. Likewise, we will never call a bowl Amrit once it contains Amrit init. Sameway it's not the raags being good / bad... it's WHAT we put into those raags. How many times Kirtan was sung but on a track of sum Bollywood tune? It is happening in Gurudwara by Raagis! Youtube also has Kaweshri jatha singing history of 1984, on Dr Dre's - Still Dre track. Rap instrumental/ Bolly tunes stand neutral. We can either put bad things and sing with our own remixes and lyrics... or we can recreate to sing Shabads of Gurbabi, kirtan and Sikh Prachaar over them.

Suraj Prakash is History on our Gurus. The main Gurudwara in Leicester does katha on it 6 days a week. To get the answer very important to listen to WHOLE of Suraj Prakash.
