What Do Punjab Sikhs Think Of White Converts 1 2 3
by Guest Steven Joe- 21 replies
- 14.9k views
What do Sikhs who are ethnically and culturally Sikh think of white converts or white people who want to convert? I am half white and half Japanese, I am interested in the Sikh religion and I want to visit a Gudwara in the United states but I don't know any Sikh people and I am afraid I would be unwelcome or that I wont understand what goes on at the Gudwara if I don't speak Punjabi. Please be honest with your answer, I know the religion teaches peace and acceptance but so does Buddhism and I got many stares while in Japan going to Buddhist meetings and temples. If you have an experience meeting a convert please tell me your thoughts about it and what others around them s…

Sangat ji , I need help. I really want to have darshan of guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj and I have been trying a lot for some months now. I sleep few hours and keep doing simran and path. My parents are concerned and want me to sleep more and wake up later at amritvela. Any tips and advice much appreciated. I have taken Amrit but need to do correction or Sadai because I accidentally take off my Kashara from both legs. Could that may be a reason. Please I am just so confused. I am amritdheri so no meat eggs alcohol drugs hair cut in my family and I keep strictly to an 11 pm amritvela with maharajas Kirpa and keep going till after sunrise. I know I should be patient but how…

What Is Wrong With Sikhs/muslims In Uk? 1 2 3
by Guest Canadian Sikh- 26 replies
- 14.7k views
I am a Sikh born and raised in Canada. A lot of my good friends are Muslim, and I've never had a problem with any of them. So it was really surprising for me to hear that the Sikh and Muslim communities in the UK do not get on well at all. Why is this? In Canada, we hang out together, listen to Punjabi music together and respect one another. Instead of being divided among religious lines, we are united by our common "desiness" i.e. our cultures are really similar/the same, eat the same food, same language (or very similar), same music etc... And I have heard people say that it is because Muslims vastly outnumber Sikhs in the UK and so have now turned on them, but the trut…

Waheguru Ji ka khalsa, Waheguru Ji ki fateh! I know this topic has often been discussed, however, in most cases (what I have found, when I did some research on in the internet) this ends up with offending each other and that whole stuff. I am not into that... I really WANT YOUR OPINION, please ! We have got freedom of speech, right? :happy: Firstly (just before someone asks): I absolutely believe in God. I believe, that our SGGS is our Lord-Guru. I try to obey SGGS. I believe in reincarnation, the messenger of Death, the rightouess judge of dharma and everything which is mentioned in the SGGS. I have often thought about this question: Does our GuruJi SGGS allow …

WJKK WJKF I am already engaged but I am taking amrit before my wedding next spring, my spouse will take amrit later as she is not at the this stage yet. My question is can we eat eachothers Jhoot once we are married (after Anand Karaj in front of SGGS)? Not asking if we can get married, just asking if we can eat each others jhoot... cuz punjabi culture has wedding ceremonies were couple eats in same plate... I mean if we are going to have a physical relationship, what is wrong with jhoot? Bhul Chuk Maaf. Guru Ang Sang

Severe Ocd (Bad Unwanted Thoughts) 1 2 3 4
by Guest stuckinadoorway- 31 replies
- 14.2k views
I have relentless OCD. I have it in the Gurdwara even more sometimes. The thoughts are blasphemous and sexual and sometimes a mixture of both. I have been advised to go to the Gurdwara at amrtivela and do simran. I try but sometimes my OCD gets worse when I am in the Gurdwara and I feel worse off then if I hadn't had gone altogether. My mind then tells me I am being punished for my thoughts and that I am unwelcome in the Gurdwara. I have been like this for years but recently it has become worse. I have had CBT from a psychologist but it did not work and I am on SSRIs which help a bit but not completely. I really don't know why I have to go through this. Maybe I s…

Are there any differences in how Sikhi is practiced by Majha, Doaba and Malwa Sikhs? Which Sikhs are dominant in the diaspora?

im 22, 23 in may. not married and ive never been with a women i.e. kissed etc........maybe due to the fact i used to be clinically obese and had bad teeth....since then ive lost 7 and half stone (100 pounds) and got my teeth straigtened up.any way now im soley concentrating on becoming a lawyer so i havent got time for a relationship and its likely i will be a virgin until i get married.........what i wanted to know was whether a woman would get put off or laugh at me if she found out i was a very and had no experience (not even kissed ever). would a women want to get married to a guy like me....i would like female opinions only.

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then.
-
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
