Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh Just wanted to share some of Sant ji's speeches. @GurjantGnostic Veerji i remember last time you were asking for katha in english.These are some of Sant ji's speeches in english. Bhul Chuk Maf ???

No its not ill show you the email, and its not their fault they try to help , Waheguru

Fantastic Veer Ji. I sort through them looking for english and don't always find it. Sort of immerse myself in the Punjabi, but the subtitles are ultimately where it's at for me right now.

I was too interested in this topic, so I went and google about this guy. And look what I found.

Much better knowing I have a roof over my head, thank you for asking.

Totally ridiculous thread. My suggestion would be to get married in a church or court marriage. Skip Anand Karaj if not too keen of our pious traditions.

Now it me and Guru Ji , i fulfilled my destiny and I pray 4 my wife not me, someday ill meet her again if I haven't already

I'm Guru Gobind Singh Ji, son nothing more

Don't mind them. Many people on these forums think it is amusing to laugh at others' misfortune. Hope you are well.

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa , Waheguru ji ki Fateh , firstly what you are doing is throwing out sikh culture and gurmat for some supposed 'modern' and WISER ???? way , in some mistaken impression you know what Guru ji meant better than he did. If you are happy and grateful for being a sikh on the long line of sacrificing sikhs upon whose bodies you stand then it should not be US the descendents, telling the GURU that 'we know better than you' and altering his given ways to bless you both as a Couple. If you look at the history of the Lavaan it has ZERO to do with Vedic resams as we are dedicating ourselves to Guru ji and making Guru ji our support and centre of our lives (that is why we travel around giving respect, equidistant to the Guru , neither partner becoming a blockage to personal relationship to Guru ji) . If your guy is walking ahead of you it is showing that he will protect and shield you from the unknown harms that could come your way in life as Guru ji has told him to do, so actually it is giving him space to show how much he cares and honours you in sharing your life with him . It is not saying you are lesser in any way so please stop listening to frankly uneducated 'modern' sikhs , as Kaurs are supposed to be supportive and ready step into the breach if life takes out the Singh and protect the future of the panth. The First Anand Karaj was when Guru Amar Das ji Married his own Daughter Bibi Bhani ji to Guru Ram Das ji , did he insist that his daughter walk in front or side by side to Guru Ram Das Ji ? No , he could have done knowing just how blessed and holy she was , daughter to a Guru, Wife of a Guru, Mother of a Guru and GRandmother of the Next Guru also . Was she treated as lesser by anyone ? No , so please leave western ideas of 'equality' and understand Sikh ideas of equality they are much deeper and more expressive then simple minded kneejerk swaps as in western thinking. Yes you are right societal thinking has got you in a tizz but it is not Sikhi but your interpretations of it via the messed up western model which fails to see beauty in the chivalry of promising to protect but sees it as a belittling of the female (how messed up is that? so daughters shouldn't look up to their dads and brothers if they look after them but should be angry) . Guru ji commanded that his sikhs should never ask for daaj or harass the girl's family with demands if they did they are not his sikhs. The bharat was only supposed to be as big as the female's family could host without stressing them . A Sikh was never allowed to cuss out or strike women did this mean Guru ji thought of women as weak flower or was it he wanted society to change their attitude and show just as much love and respect to the girl's family as the boy's family got ? This is the equality he wanted that daughters were married into homes with these attitudes intact not the transactional attitudes that existed in societies dominated by the other faiths. Unfortunately, in your speech I have seen that crass transactional attitude with regards to the raagis , if you are serious about sikhi and doing your life the sikh way , cultivate humbleness because you are begging Guru ji to bless your future together and his Granthi and sewaks will follow Him not you . If you don't want to pay for a particular jathebandi then just get the gurdwara sewak team to do it and donate the difference to the homeless or poor. Raagi jathe following Akal Takht maryada and Guru ji's hukham so do not expect them to answer yes to your folks strange ideas because those ideas are insulting the maryada of Anand Karaj and Guru ji Themself. They know the sikh follows the Guru not the other way around .

Very honest video and discussion, its refreshing for a change. Only got uploaded an hour ago, I think Sikh feminists and Sikh fem-men will get very upset with it. It's good they got a Sikh woman to talk about it, and allowing a man to have a say as well.

I've said this before. Sikhi did a lot in civilising Indians. The Hindu and Muslim attitude towards rape is barbaric.

Idk if that tweet is true, however, she is from the leftist circles. We should be careful how we proceed with her, and Mandeep Punia. Their contribution is well appreciated, but their loyalty to leftist ideology vs Sikhi is questionable.

Cheers just want a good night sleep

Awesome bro. I'm glad to hear that.

My father in law sorted my accommodation, so thankful for him

If it wasn't for Covid, I would say come stay with me for a bit until you get your accommodation sorted. It's a shame for whatever reason, you can't stay with parents or some family/relatives etc.

You're marrying the love of your life (supposedly), and you're more worried about whether if you're walking behind, beside or in front of him. Rather than booking the nearest wedding date available in great anticipation, to get married to person you love, you're delaying the process because of your insecurities. I suggest you go back to basics and ask yourself, what does this person mean to you? why are you marrying him? and why Anand Karaj? and what is your priority in this relationship? Its not too late to reconsider, modern Sikh marriages suggest that marriage isn't for everyone. As for why the bride walks behind the groom, then that is because your father will pass your husbands pala into your hands. This symbolises that your father is now passing you onto your husband and that you are now a part of your husbands family. The grooms father does not pass the brides chunni into the grooms hand, it is the brides father that passes the grooms pala into his daughters hand. Your sons will also be a part of your husbands family and take their fathers name. Just how Guru Gobind Singh ji narrates the history of his family, the Sodhi clan, the clan of his father Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. Just how Guru Nanak Dev ji is described as being born into the Bedi clan, the clan of his father Mehta Kalu. Just how Bhai Santokh Singh ji describes that when Guru Nanak Dev ji is born the BEDI ladies(aunts) come around to see Baby Guru Nanak. Guru Gobind Singh ji's hukkam is that a Sikh man should get his daughter married into a house where Sikhi is practiced, why ? because its the bride that is marrying into the grooms family, hence a father should choose a home for his daughter where Sikhi is practiced. Just like that the father of the bride passes the grooms pala into the brides hand, symbolising that she is now a part of the grooms family and their kids will also be part of the grooms family. We have been getting married like that for centuries, its our tradition. If you don't like it, then like others have suggested you can have a registry marriage. @jkvlondon would you like to give this bibi some advise?

There is no discriminatory practice here, as in Gurbani we as an individual are represented as a bride. A lot of today's society is seeing discrimination in places where there isn't. Please try and adhere to the traditional way of Anand Karaj. No one calls discrimination when the bride comes after the groom in christian marriages - it is a metaphor as well In the past, one had to take Amrit to even have an Anand Karaj - http://dailysikhupdates.com/gursikhs-anand-karaj-1900-says-elderly-grandmother/

The stigma of Cannabis comes from the hippie era during the 60's and 70's. It gave a very liberal, careless thinking about cannabis. But if you look at other cultures such as ours, we were more conservative when it came to cannabis. We consumed it in a liquid form-just like the majority of Asian countries. We used it for wounds and cuts during battles, for chronic pain, joint pain and even digestion (the CBD found in cannabis helped with this). However, the THC content is what one should be weary of since it can alter the mind. When it's necessary, moderation is the key. It recently became fully legalized here in Canada in 2018. There will be extensive research that will go into this plant in the near future. Interesting stuff. Lot's history associated with this plant.

Basics of Sikhi made a video about that. The shabad was mistranslated.

I’ve been to India several times. Visiting Gurdware is great. I really want to go to Patna Sahib. But i get fed up after 4 weeks and want to come back. I’ve noticed the people are different.

I wouldn't take too much notice of the chugalkhors, these people are everywhere and if it weren't for your Chinese girlfriend, they would find something else to do chugli about. One thing to understand is that chugliyan only work when they have an effect on the person who the chugliyan are being said about. If you disregard these chugliyan and make is known that they do not affect you then these people will move on to chugliyan about other people. If you show that these are affecting you then these chugliyan will keep on being spread. Anyway good luck and all the best for your future.

maybe it is just rubbing them up the wrong way because her being an outsider IS being a better sikh than they themselves i.e. it holds up the mirror to their faults . Don't take it the wrong way stay on your intended path and Waheguru ji will help you , don't let naysayers rob your family of peace of mind . I myself have been along your path so know it can get tough ignoring the backbiting but you have to to suceed, they gave us months and we just had our silver wedding anniversary , four kids all brought up in sikhi , it's doable just be a strong and communicative couple . Stay in chardikala

Brother, just ignore them. Other than that there's not much you can do. It's great how she is willing to practice Sikhi, learn our language and most importantly raise your kids with joodas, our identity, what more can you ask for ? Ignore what people say.

This is amazing. Just finished this. It's gonna trigger some people but what needs to be said needs to be said.

I typed a long paragraph and it seemed to have disappeared. To know the truth watch this channel on yt: The Bernician They are free(masons) . Type that into bitchute

Is this ok? I have a lot of light in my room and it reflects off the black pages.

Nothing to worry about. It's probably due to so many Sikhs attaining Brahmgyani status which means they transcend archaic labels of religion and connect to the Source directly. It's all good. ?

point was the experiment results , try to keep you mind on the subject , he dropped fat fast and got better results with his weight training, than doing a strict dietary routine.

Old camel guns

17th century match lock gun, kirches, swords and shields

17th century dagger, khokhri and flint lock gun

In Sarbloh Granth Sahib, word pistol comes and some people create doubt that pistol came into Punjab after jyoti-jyot of Dasmesh Pita, so Sarbloh Granth is not Guru Sahib's rachna. But at this war museum, 17th century pistol is on display. 17th century Pistol, Kataar and Kirch

Swami Singh?

OP - you handled that situation with grace, respect to you for that. In terms of "giving an answer", this involves knowing your own religion (which I'm sure you do), but also knowing their religion and (unfortunately) poking holes in it. Studying a philosophy/religion/spiritual path with the sole intention of finding its faults is a fruitless waist of time and gives you no peace. However, studying with the intention to find similarities and understand differences gives a greater reward (speaking from experience). The thing about giving someone like that an answer is you first need to know what denomination of christianity she follows. If she's one of the outliers (LDS, 7th day Adventist etc.) then it's easy to put her down. But if she's a hardcore Baptist (or even a Methodist), then it requires more homework on your part ("knowing your Bible", so to speak). And from what you've described, chances are she's a Baptist. Ultimately, it will end the same way i.e. neither of you will change your faith. But with a little homework, the next time something like this happens, you'll be ready with an answer or two (if needed).

She was being sly, by implying that our faith specifically and all others are wrong and only hers is right but she wouldn't come and say that directly to your face.She wants to you come to realize that for yourself. It sounds like some passive agressive <banned word filter activated>. She didnt come there to learn something new it sounds like.She made her statement and left it in the open for all around to hear. She's basically saying "I believe this" and your belief doesnt match mine, so what's wrong with your belief. She was there to undermine our faith. You could've responded in some way like : Well if one faith has to be absolutely right then it is ours. Then come up with some examples from her own religion to really throw her off. 1. Christ said on the cross according to the bible that : My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46, KJV) In comparison our 5th Guru read the following shabad when they were giving shaheedi: ਤੇਰਾ ਕੀਆ ਮੀਠਾ ਲਾਗੈ ॥ Your actions seem so sweet to me. ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਮਾਂਗੈ ॥੨॥੪੨॥੯੩॥ Nanak begs for the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. You could also bring up 10 patshah doing ucharan of mittar pyare nu after fighting nonstop for days and watching their sons and beloved sikhs at chamkaur sahib give shaheedi. Then you could bring up things that makes sikhi so much more complete than christainity. examples 1. No avtar,prophet has sacrificed their whole family like 10th patshah Abraham who is like a patriach figure for christainity, judaism and islam. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his own son for him through akash bani, but at the last moment with knife in hand to his own son's threat he backed out. He couldn't do it. Only 10th patshah was able to send his own sons into battle by giving them permission when they asked. 2. No avtar prophet has given themselves for shaheedi for the sake of saving another religion like 9th patshah/ 3. 200+ years of history where God himself lived in form of human body through every experience common to us today, so we could look back and learn directly from them and their lessons through history. Whereas Jesus lived for 30 years and so the time frame is shorter. You could've went on and on and kept going deeper and deeper into sikhi, if she wouldn't interrupt you at every word or leave first.

Bana doesn't always necesarily include a Chola if that's what you're alluding to. Bana is essentially Panj Kakkar, Dastaar, Kamarkassa, Shastar. By some I think you mean the majority. Most Amritdharis don't wear Bana on every single occasion they're able. Although I agree perhaps more of an effort should be made ideally speaking. And most Amritdhari Sikh women also wear a chunni including many of those who wear a Keski/Dastaar. Many millions of women seem to do plenty of demanding physically laborious tasks just fine in saris too. Exaggeration as usual. If a sari is part of Brahminical culture then why do non-Brahmin women wear saris? Why would Brahmins want, or, even let non-Brahmin women to wear their clothes? Saris are nothing more than the predominant garment for females in a geographical region. Same way a Chola is not exclusively a Sikh garment. And also the same as how thobe/jubba isn't actually an Islamic garment. If you recall in the ridiculous 'coconuts are Brahminvaad' thread, the many instances of overlap were pointed out. But let's conveniently forget that shall we and instead make overly-dramatised, sarcastic (and lame) suggestions. Krishan Bhagwan is known as the one who wears a pagdi so should we stop wearing them?! In Islam a turban is considered Sunnah so should we stop wearing them?! Get a grip. And so they should; given that most Amritdhari females don't wear a chola*, that leaves the option of a Punjabi suit and there's absolute no reason Hazoori women should be expected to wear clothing of another cultural group. As long as it's modest, there should be no issue. *There's some differences in belief on whether women even wore a chola/are even supposed to wear one. And before someone breaks out with the modern day picture of Mai Bhago...that's not evidence lol. Either way I have no opinion on this particular matter itself. Gurbar Akaal!

Only way to liberation is bhakti there are no shortcuts Wood is used because its cheap and easily available and reduces cooking time.

I'm glad my situation, amused some of you

Phone up the various Sikh charity organizations. Tell them you're a Muslim who's being disturbed by his Sikh neighbours who won't stop blasting kirtan. If they seem hesitant to help, say the magic L word. Tell them you need some LANGAR. There'll be trucks, TV cameras, and all sorts outside your B&B as quick as a flash. ?

You might regret marrying someone completely outside of your ethnicity/culture - not now, but maybe in 10, or 20 years time or when you are in your retired years. Especially if she does not take to Sikhi

Pendu b**stards ??

There seems to be a lot of immature people with a low IQ here.
