A basic question for kakkars
by Guest cyclistsingh- 3 replies
- 593 views
Hi, I am an avid road cyclist. For cycling seriously you have to wear padded shorts or bib shorts, they look something like this: https://podia.cc/shop/club-bib-shorts-regular/ These are not ordinary shorts. They are padded and they allow you to sit for long hours on the saddle, without them cycling for long distances is impossible. Forget even short distances. Therefore, wearing kacherra is not possible. Can the bib shorts be considered a substitute kacchera if wore one leg in and out. Also wearing kirpan, kungha is not possible while cycling. Well kungha might be possible. However, you do need to wear a helmet to take part in cycling events. I'd like…

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh I was hoping that I could get a bit of advice... I know what I'm probably asking is really silly and I apologise.... I'm about to start my pgce on Monday but I've decided to take Amrit nxt week...I'm happy and i know for a fact that it's the best decision I could have ever made...but the thing is that im not sure if I'll be able to do my pgce and so my parents may be disappointed...because although I've kept my hair, as being a girl I have a lot of hair on my face...it's quite bad...as in I look like a boy...my mum and brother have said that as my pgce is going to be at secondary placement I'm going to find it really difficult…

Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh, I was talking with a veerji who is a gora just the other day, and he said something that really disturbed me... the only thing i could think is share it with sangat and try to find a solution? He came into Sikhi some years ago. He told me that he's sick of having punjabi sikhs assuming he belongs to 3HO cause he's white. He says he's Just a regular Sikh of the Guru, doesnt want to belong and does not belong to any Jatha, and that it insults him when sikhs ask him if he knows "yogi bhajan, and yoga" and stuff. He respects 3HO, (not that its bad being 3HO or anything... they're ok... says they're all cool, but doesn't like peo…

Hey, I know this is possibly not the best place to go for advice, but i dont know where else to turn now.. Well I am 18 yrs old and i was born and brought up in the US. I come from a religious family but we are given our space, meaning i can cut my hair and what not becaiscally my parents believe that religion shouldnt be forced upon us so I do go to the GW everyday and I read gurmukhi, I am not a amritdhari and do plan on becoming one until im not stronger in my sikhi... My issue at hand is that I didnt date before i turned 18, but one day on Facebook I started to talk and then we decided to meet. The first time I met him was at a John Mayor Concert during the day an…

I always end up thinking about this dream I had it was strange and yet very interesting at the time of this dream I was very young, I didn't know much of our religion but I always admired our Gurus and wanted to learn more, I believe I was around the age of 5 or 7 I recall the sky being black as if we are in space with many stars and yet I recall it being purple with waves, a grey stone building I was inside and a portrait of Guru Gobind Singh ji We spoke about the future I don't remember most of it but i do know before we spoke a Deep powerful voice saying something like this "I'll appear in a form you will be most comfortable with" and that's when Guru Gobind Singh ji …

A Girl Is Born
by Guest Guest- 7 replies

After 4 yrs and multiple miscarriages, I was born. My Dad was the one who went out in the whole pind giving ladoos and mithai. He said he didn’t care if I was a boy or a girl — having a child was the only thing on his mind. However, everyone else was upset to find out that the first to be born in the family was a girl. When people would show regret, my Dad would just look at them and say, “What’s wrong if it’s a girl? She’s still my child” As a child I was a little fatter than my cousins, hence why my Dada ji named me “Dara Singh.” He would say, “If she were a boy she would have been a pehalvaan (an Indian wrestler)” and then he would say to my Dad, “Why were you so exc…

I'm not gonna lie to you, yesterday was probably the greatest day ever to be non-white, British and alive. It was the day that white supremists / racists were foaming at the mouth....engulfed with anger....overcome with sheer rage......tearing their own hair out....smashing plates in the kitchen and punching holes in their own walls n fits of temper. For yesterday........these people found out that the first Britons looked like us (with even darker skin than us) I just love the look on cheddar man's face. It's like he knows how much this is going to annoy the racists. They're gonna have to tell themselves to 'go back to where they came from' now

Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh Dear sadh sangat jee. I post this in the hope i recieve an answer to my desperation. Many years ago guru sahib made me part of the panth. It was the best time of my life. I fel so close to guru sahib and with his kirpa i stayed strong in rehit, kept good sangat and was focused on his naam. Today is a different story. When i look inside and where his naam and his light used to be is no longer to be seen. I have had an extremely turbulent life. Ever since i was a child there has always been a lot of conflict, violence, abuse and addictions. I was at my lowest point when Guru nanak Dev Jee looked upon me and showed me the pa…

im a youth sikh who has never had anyone to talk to about his feelings on sikhi and what being sikh really means. im hoping that posting on this forum will help. recently a friend asked me why i believe what i do and what proof i had that Sikhism is the "right" way. i responded that 'God gives me the feeling everyday that I am right and that is all that I need.' i feel that what i have in my heart is enough. that i don't need miracles and other foolish attempts at validation to help me believe in sikhism. sikhism preaches love and acceptance of all those around us and above all a love of God. what else should we need except for the love that God puts into our hearts? am …

Quote from a poster on here replying about somebody keeping their Kesh : Quote "Once a Singh with possibly the longest beard ever at Guru Gobind Singh Ji's darbar Sahib was called over by Guru Ji. The Singh walked towards Guru Ji and Guru Ji hugged the Singh Sahib and put him to his chest and sat him on his lap. So much satkaar for the Kes! The next day, the same Singh came to Darbar Sahib and Guru Ji told all his Singhs to beat up that Singh. They beat up the Singh badly until Guru Ji commanded stop. Then that Singh came to Guru Gobind Singh Ji and said I do not understand, one day you hug me and make me sit in your lap and the other day ou get everyone to beat me up. …

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.
