Muslim countries fertility rates are dropping as well. Just not as fast as in western countries. It is subsaharan African countries that have increased significantly. Likely because being the least developed and with immunisation that reduces child mortality.

Anand Karaj at earlier ages instead of older ages. So what makes certain communities increase fertility rate like those in African and Muslim countries?

Infertility rates are increasing around the world Sperm counts are dropping. Post vaccine Covid, birth rates have plummeted with increased rates of still births etc (not insinuating anything here hmm..hmm.) Testosterone rates are dropping in men over the decades (apparently this is due to the increase in plastics and all those xeno-estrogens ) Currently the world population is 8 billion but I reckon this will drop in the next 50 years.

Personally, I think this can only come from a religious directive IF the religion itself is strong and hyper-focused on its own interests. Since we don't fulfil neither of these conditions, we'll follow personal or wider cultural trends which allow low birthrates.

Gursikhs used to carry out Nitnem/Abhyaas of 'Pandriyaa' in these days from 1st Poh to 15th Poh. It was carried out in Loving remembrance of Great Sacrifice done by Family of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Sahib in these first two weeks of Poh. Guruji's Four Sons, Mataji and Beloved Gursikhs (Including 3 Pyaare) attained Shaheediya in these days. These were the days which were considered highly spiritual and Powerful by Gursikhs as it is believed Shaheedi Faujan do beant Kirpa on Gursikhs who do abhyaas in these days. Maryada which was followed by Gursikhs - Amritvela, Naam Abhyaas, Baani Jaap starting at 1 am. Read as much Baani as possible in Day time. Do Kirtan and Vichaar of Guru Sahib's and Shaheeds Itihaas in Evening. Eat Less , Sleep Less , More Baani and Sewa. Staying away from TV/Cinema/Movies etc. No marriages were held in Puratan times (till 80's) in Month of Poh. No Celebrations/Bhangra/Shaguns. Staying away from Physical relations with Husband/wife( Stay Jati-Sati). Practise Control over Kaam/Krodh/Lobh/Moh/Ahankaar. Remember Sahibzadey and Shaheeds in Ardas and Feel their Presence. (It helps Mind get over Earthly Pleasures and Bonds and take Surat to Next World, thus ending Fear of Death). Those who are Mone and not much into Sikhi must also USE these days in getting closer to Guru Gobind Singh Ji Sahib and Shaheed Singhs of Panth. Dont Cut your Hair in thes days. Dont Shave. Dont Eat Meat/Eggs, dont take any type of Drugs, Dont drink Alcohol, dont Indulge in Partying etc... Bibiya please dont wear make-up. Dress Simply and Soberly. THIS IS THE LEAST WE CAN DO IN THESE DAYS OF 'GREATEST SACRIFICE' TO Remember Our Beloved Satguru Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Great Elder Brothers of KHALSA PANTH. We can never repay their sacrifice , but we can remember them and try to serve Sikhi for which they suffered so much. In these days, tell Kids and Youth and even to Non-Sikhs about Guru Gobind Singh Ji , Sahibzadey, Mata Gujri Ji, Great Family of Baba Mani Singh Ji (with 16 Shaheeds in these days like Bhai Bachittar Singh, Bhai Uday Singh and others), about 3 Pyaare , 40 Warriors of Chamkaur Sahib, about dedication of Bhai Moti mehra and Sacrifice he did, Sewa and Shaheedi of Bibi Saran Kaur, Shaheedi of Bibi Anoop Kaur. Most Glorious Chapter of Sikh History was written in these 15 days

The curretn Jagowale Jatha is two brothers (one who lives in willenhall and the other in southampton). They got together in 1985 I think and formed a Kavishri jatha. They took the name Jagowale because they were so inspired by the original Jagowale Dhadhi Jatha.

When people refer to "Jagowale" then its the UK jatha, who got their name after they re-sung the kavishri Jago Aiyah. The original singers of Jago Aiyah were Nirmal Singh Chohla (Shaheed), Sulakhan Singh Kallah and & Jarnail Singh Gill, Jagir Singh Mast was there ustaad and writer I believe, and may have sung together also. If you listen to the Jago Aiyah kavishri by UK Jagowale, the original Singh's are mentioned in the line: "Kehnda Mast Jagir, Sulakhana jago barri piyari, Nirmal dil Jarnaila de naal rakhdi full tyaari"

Not all of them i dont think... Heres some posts from other threads on the forum : the original jagowala jatha was Bhai jagir singh mast and with him was shaheed bhai nirmal singh chola sahib and bhai jarnail singh.they have been to the UK i think they r still here smile.gif bhai nirmail singh got shaheed after coming back from the shaheedi program in memory of Shaheed General Bhai Sahib Sukhwinder Singh Sangha of the Bhindranwala Tiger Force of Khalistan (BTFK), he had just sang the song in which the singhs took revenge for the Shaheedi of General Sukhwinder Singh Sangha by killing the police officer in charge of killing bhai sahib it was ssp operation harjit su, they put this dog too death in less than 24 days, thats what u call revenge massa rangar style ------------ There was another Jagowale jatha who were in Punjab in late 70's and early 80's. i believe that the singhs became shaheed mid 80's. The original 'Jago aiyah' and 'motorcycle wale yodeh' is sang by the original jatha. im not sure when the current jatha started i think it was after the 84 attack, not 100% sure but they have carried on the good work of the original singhs. And it is definetly worth listening to the tapes of the original singhs, im afraid dont have much info on them, can try and dig something out, but their parchar is excellent!

Well, I don't think there was an "earlier" Jagowala Jatha. However some of the kavishri they sing was sung earlier on by Nirmal Singh Chola Jatha as well as other Jathas.

Throw your pluckers out, do ardaas and take hukam - japp loooooooads of naam and i'm sure that guru ji will give you the strength to stop plucking 5 hairs. You know that what you'r doin is wrong so you'r halfway there already. hope it goes well for you

Personal thought is because the majority of people gave idols the title of god and forgot the real existance of God. Hindus pray to stone idols and offer them food. I personally think the kaa'ba is treated as an idol as well. Maya has destroyed man's posibility of gaining divine knowledge
