I know, but to get things moving you can start a topic on mindless things such as my wife/mother in law did this and have multiple replies. Those get a lot of replies.

It's "you're", not "your."

In general, no one really uses forums a lot anymore and growth is stagnant. Usually they're populated by OG users and once they stop posting and cease their activity, others tend to follow suit. There are still some socials that have engaging talks about Sikhi. You can try Twitter (X), Discord, Reddit, Tiktok, gurdwareh group chats, etcetera. Idk man. Sikhi as a whole is pretty much dying tbf. It makes sense that you'll see less engagement over time. A lot of people contend that the religion is being revived in the west, in particular by Gen Z. The zoomer lot is definitely kind of active, but they're mostly all talk and no action. It's like some kind of flex to feign religiosity. It's not just Sikhi though, it's all of 'em. Not only that, but at one point you just grow up and have more serious matters to attend to. I used to be online for hours and hours and mess around and post but now I don't even have time to do anything b/c I'm spending time with my family & getting married soon. Now, I'm just worried about making babies. Everything's a blur. There are probably others that feel the same as well.

I guess easier ways of learning have taken precedence. There are so many Youtube channels and podcasts available that people are more ready to listen for knowledge at their own leisure. There are so many great kathas available online that take months to listen, so that people may not really get the time to come here and write.

do ardas at home, do ardas outside, and do ardas at gurughar. Maybe there is a smaller gurdwara where it is less crowded and there are less programmes, that you can go to?

No I do not think so. Most Sikhs would prefer to live under a racist white regime than under Sharia rule.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh ji Bhul Chuk maaf ji Have been busy with exams and school, das will continue at least weekly uploads of shabads Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Nothing really shocking from a Jihadi to be honest. Only savagery on these people really works. You have to out-muslim the muslim in this case unfortunately. It is the only language they understand. I think the only thing that will stop Hamas is complete genocide of Gaza. Not something I am proud or happy to say

I didn't understand. I also didn't quite understand what Razib Khan was suggesting. I had never heard of him before. Is he trying to suggest that Sikhs are violent and they also "get away with it" and so therefore if someone else wants to do something violent, they should just don a turban? If so, he should look in the mirror. He's of the community that carries signs saying "Behead those who say Islam is violent", LOL. I'm guessing this is why Bhagat Namdev ji calls Muslims blind in one eye: ਹਿੰਦੂ ਅੰਨ੍ਹਾ ਤੁਰਕੂ ਕਾਣਾ ॥ The Hindu is blind and the Muslim is one-eyed. ਦੁਹਾਂ ਤੇ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਸਿਆਣਾ ॥ The Giani is the wiser of the two. p874 (By the way, Manmohan Singh translated "giani" as "the Lord Divine", I suppose to not upset the Hindus and Muslims.)

This is not in a vanity way.. but by features you can tell amongst different races/tribes. Jatt Sikhs were deffo better looking compared to M + Hs jatts.. Khatri's are not bad looking . Kashmiris have unique features ...H punjabis are not compared them to Punjabi Sikhs .. look at old pics many nana generations in their 50s 60s were strong alpha too Those khrakus Singhs were really handsome good looking. Rural village Jatt Sikhs we too.. there is fetish/jealousy amongst M + H against Jatt Sikhs .. Too bad daru/unhealthy food/drugs/belly pots have ruined Jatt Punjabis Sikhs.. But yeah i dont Sikhi can grow amongst Punjabis anymore... we will be minority in Panjab..

it was more than acceptable for Singhs to have multiple wives, because Singhs are supposed to be kshatriya. There were also other common practices such as marrying your brothers' widow, and widow remarriage, marrying rescued women that are not accepted back by their families. Fighting wars required multiple wives, many sons,uncles, male family members would get shaheed, such as Bhai Mani Singhs' sons from both his wives, and his uncles during Guru Hargobind ji. Add this to higher mortality rates, people died younger, just look at the ages most Guru jis lived to, women had difficult giving birth, there were risks to women dying during birth, higher infant mortality rates, children were at much greater risk from dying from a childhood illness. All these factors compounded with wars, it made a lot of sense to marry multiple women! And during 1947, 1984 and the dharmi faujis of the 1990s, its still made a lot of sense to have multiple wives, but only if your family was going to be armed and trained! Compare this to sikhs and amrit dharis who have multiple girlfriends and exes, and don't get married until into their late 20s and 30s, we are behaving in a really pathetic non-warrior non kshatriya way! If you're making the excuse of not getting married because you are studying, and then you make a girlfriend or multiples during that time anyway, THEN Singhs should just get married, and all the excuses for not getting married are lame and bringing down the whole panth. I seriously stand by that statement!!!

There are two types of people who read/listen to SriGurpartap Suraj Granth… 1. Gurmukh Jogi 2. Manmukh Bhogi The first type of person will listen to Gursikhs of Samparda ( the lineage of Sikhs from Guru Sahiban). These people will do immense Abhiyaaas of Naam and seva. They will follow and adhere to a very strict code of conduct at all times. These people will not take any scriptures at face value. Their immense Abhiyaas and sangat of great Gurmukhs will teach them to become a Hans ( a hans can separate milk from water). This is a metaphor for seeing the deeper meaning and moral behind a story. These people will learn to se the wider picture in every situation… Sadly, there are many people who are of the mindset where they see filth in everything. These people have not done any sangat of samparda Gursikhs. These people are self taught…

- Agriculture is no longer the dominant industry in Punjab. The dominant industry is surely IELTS test prep. Seriously, everywhere I looked, in every village or town or roadside, there were advertisements or offices for services to assist with IELTS prep, obtaining a study visa, etc. It is impossible to overstate how obsessed the typical Punjabi is with going abroad. - It is extremely rare to come across a Sikh man with an untrimmed beard that is not gray or white. Basically everywhere I went, I was the only person with an untrimmed beard who wasn't a bajurg. - While I expected the lack of young Singhs based on my last visit, this time I noticed a conspicuous lack of young people in general. Pinds were filled with big, mostly empty houses (in most cases, nicer houses than I will ever be able to afford in America) with a couple of elderly people living in them. Mind you, I am not talking about pinds near Jalandhar whose residents have been going abroad for a century. I am talking about pinds in the "backwards" parts of southern Malwa. Also, I was at a (smallish) wedding reception, and when I glanced at the dance floor, I noticed that it was 95% aunties in their 50s and 60s. - To the extent that you still see a fair number of paghs around, it comes down to two things: 1) there are a lot more old people than there are young people, and 2) the bhaiyas working in the fields like to keep their heads covered. - Today's Punjabis speak a different language than my parents. They use different kinds of Punjabi/Hindi words for certain things than my parents did, and they constantly insert English words into Punjabi sentences (even when there are perfectly good Punjabi words they could use). They also abuse English words. For example, if they say someone easily gets "mixed-up," they don't mean to say that they get easily confused. They mean that that person "mixes well" socially with others. They also say things in cringe-worthy ways like: "tension naa lai." - Somehow, every person I came across who remotely knew of my family also knew I was unmarried and knew of some kuri who was interested in acquiring a green card ... I mean, interested in marrying me.

Please learn how to write coherently.

She urgently needs to learn how to read and write.

I remember when mentioning Jhatka would get you warnings.

Basically, the 'culture' Moosewala exemplified is pushing a lot of our own samaaj into the polar opposite of this direction, and I don't think it's doing anything remotely positive for Sikhs.

B0llocks. I'm glad he's dead. All he did was promote his sh1tty caste, f**k all else. Seriously, have some brains.

If western nations had open borders; it would be overpopulated by Desis; and UK would be India 2.0

I'd just let his channel die into obscurity

What did I just watch?? He's a kesadhari bro who loves to be surround by girls in bikinis. He quotes a tuk of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji translated as: The world is just a hill of smoke, what makes you think it was real? p1186 But the shabad goes on to say to worship God with devotion: ਇਕ ਭਗਤਿ ਨਾਰਾਇਨ ਹੋਇ ਸੰਗਿ ॥ The Lord's meditation alone shall depart with thee; ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਭਜੁ ਤਿਹ ਏਕ ਰੰਗਿ ॥੩॥੪॥ Says Nanak, remember thou Him with pure love. The music video of "Air Singh" is basically pure Maya, not what the shabad is saying. I mean, if he's into girls in bikinis, to each his own, but why quote Guru Tegh Bahadur ji in the video?

He didn't do eff all. If anything he dragged us back decades.

Veer Ji, please be careful about this Colombian woman. I know we all want to believe it when someone suggests they take a liking to us. But she is surely primarily (if not entirely) interested in you because you live in a more prosperous country. It hurts to admit it, but that is almost surely the case.

I find this a bit hard to believe. - I concede that they prefer men who are not Singhs - I concede that they prefer fair skinned. But most Punjabis who sellf-identify as fair skinned are delusional and not very fair skinned. Unless you are abnormally dark, I doubt this is an issue. - Sure, they want a guy who is well off. But by virtue of living in the west, you are already very well off from the perspective of a Punjabi girl, even if you don’t make anything close to 6 figures. - Sure, they want tall men. But have you seen how short Punjabis are on average? And have you seen how prone they are to exaggerating their heights? Just say you are 5’10” or 6’0” or whatever. It won’t matter, since you are certainly taller than their midget celebrities.

If you are open to girls from the developing world, why not just consider a girl from India? Anyway, I agree with you about the ridiculous standards people have in online dating. However, you should have just put down that you are 5'10': - 90% of other guys exaggerate their height, so it's still relatively accurate - All the stupid 5'0" girls who demand a tall guy would not be able to notice the difference anyway

Plus someone tell this c**t that George Michael wants his 1980s hairstyle back:

Yes. But I and that poster on Twitter are not making this stuff up. All he's saying is what Guru Hargobind Ji taught us. Again, it is not to do bad things with your physical power. It is to have the physical power to do good. And that's not the job of women. Sure, they should be healthy. But they can never be as muscle-bound as men. So brothers need to get off their sofas and build some muscle. Here's how Maharaj starts the Bachittar Natak, his autobiography, with a paean to the Khanda: ਖਗ ਖੰਡ ਬਿਹੰਡੰ ਖਲਦਲ ਖੰਡੰ ਅਤਿ ਰਣ ਮੰਡੰ ਬਰਬੰਡੰ ॥ Khga Khaanda Bihaandaan Khladala Khaandaan Ati Ran Maandaan Barbaandaan ॥ The sword chops well, chops the forces of fools and this mighty one bedecks and glorifies the battlefield. ਭੁਜ ਦੰਡ ਅਖੰਡੰ ਤੇਜ ਪ੍ਰਚੰਡੰ ਜੋਤਿ ਅਮੰਡੰ ਭਾਨੁ ਪ੍ਰਭੰ ॥ It is the unbreakable staff of the arm, it has the powerful luster and its light even bedims the radiance of the sum. ਸੁਖ ਸੰਤਾ ਕਰਣੰ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਦਰਣੰ ਕਿਲਬਿਖ ਹਰਣੰ ਅਸਿ ਸਰਣੰ ॥ It brings happiness to the saints, mashing the vicious ones, it is the destroyer of sins and I and under its refuge. ਜੈ ਜੈ ਜਗ ਕਾਰਣ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਉਬਾਰਣ ਮਮ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਰਣ ਜੈ ਤੇਗੰ ॥੨॥ Hail, hail to the cause of the world, saviour of the universe, it is my preserver, I hail its victory. 2. ਬਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਨਾਟਕ ਅ. ੧ - ੨/(੪) - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ OK, so how are you going to pick up a Khanda without muscles? Those things are heavy! Secondly, note in the 3rd verse that the purpose is to bring happiness to the Saints. Not Nihangs killing Nihangs.

Alright Mr Perfect. I'm not the most articulate but this is just a fourm not submitting a Phd. I'm well aware of the community shortcomings. I think over the yrs we all expressed concerns about community issues. Btw you same guy that couldn't give credit for Deep Sidhu since he was a mona and did not do much for the panth Might want to look in the mirror before pointing finger at others.

Speaking for real, in modern times our faith is heavily-centric to Punjab and Punjabi issues. There are more talks on Punjab in Punjabi in Gurdwaras than the issues aam bande have wherever they live. If all the people in the Gurdwara are Punjabi, all the talks are in Punjabi, and we are talking about Punjab; why would average Gora or Kalla want to join? What made people like Jugraj Singh unique was that he didn't make the focus on a place far-away and focused on what the average bande living in UK actually needed, spiritual growth, also even when he did speak about Sikh issues; he always made the focus on what we can actually achieve instead of talking about goals that average Sikh likely can't achieve. If tomorrow someone wanted to learn about Jesus Christ or Muhammad, they could do so in pretty much every language with people from every ethnic group, but if tomorrow we want to learn about Guru Sahib, our only options are in Punjabi and only recently English, otherwise we just learn "Someone born in Talwandi and who traveled a lot as a good man".

With him, it's because it allows him to rape and groom young women. Simple. He's a pimp. Roman Catholicism and Islam are very pro-pedo religions, so such people will naturally gravitate towards them Same with pedos in prison in the UK, they are accepted and protected by fellow pro-pedo sullay. You know what, you're like the resident low IQ, hysterical apnee on the forum now. I think you'd be groomed really easily in the real world - because, to be blunt, you're dumb. I've known a few Sikh guys who intimidate sullay - as someone said earlier, they don't broadcast it. Those fudhu problems we have aren't from our dharam, rather it's other lesser cultures who infest the panth and bring in their pendu baggage with them.

Only Mickey Mouse Singhs go there. You have to be absolutely Goofy to even think about it!

Very misguided, both the man and the woman are at the bottom of a triangle and through Sikhi you both walk the same path to Waheguru, you tell mia bhago ji that she gets led around by a man.

That's really interesting, I will have a listen. I am very interested in more detailed accounts of Sikh history. I am convinced that there is a lot missing and oversimplified in the mainstream Sikh narratives.

Stop this sh1t now. I don't want to get tempted to start looking up old tunes on youtube.

What I've watched so far, I've done in smaller blocks. I think going through it in one sitting may be a bit strong.

I pressed play but then stopped it. I will wait for when I have a 7 hour (or whatever) block of free time.

I don't know about that. He is basically a few samosay away from Punjab police officer status. Lol I was thinking that it was the Alaap guy at the beginning of the clip. Isn't he like 70 years old? Why is he still dancing around like that?

When being a Sikh was a death sentence, Baba Deep Singh Ji wrote a farsi saroop of Dhan Dhan Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and sent it to Iraq which barely had any Sikhs, now we as Punjabis, (which has a lot more Sikhs and Gurdwaras), are making controversy over legitimacy of Dasam Granth and on whether Guru Sahib was Vaheguru or not. We aren't winning, we've already lost until we go back to Sikhi.

You do not understand the damage those two youtube guys you mentioned have done to their own religion. They were agreeing to marriage to underage children they are contributing to their own downfall. Watch @ 8:38 they are exposing themselves, send this to that girl and ask for her thoughts after

Gur sabadhee har man vasai, har sehajae jaathaa.

Because the Bhatts are praising Guru Sahib only and not another God (like Vishnu). The Jaap in Dasam Granth starts with Sri Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh! Khalsa Ji, Vaheguru is the Gurmantar given to us by Guru Sahib. That's why when we take Amrit, Panj Pyare tell us that we must do Gurmantar which is Vaheguru Jap and Mool Mantar. Bhul Chuk maaf ji Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh!

Ukraine has had a reduction of about 15 million in it's population. About 11 million have poured into Europe and 4 million into Russia. The Ukrainians have lost approximately 150 to 160k troops, Russia about 18-20k. The Ukrainians has a further approx 250k troops injured or incapacitated. So that means 400k soldiers are lost. The Russians are winning this war as it is a war of attrition. There was opportunity last year for a ceasefire but the US told Ukraine not to as this really a proxy war against Russia. One can feel sorry for the Ukrainians because there won't be much of a Ukraine left after this war. I think that Russia will move to occupy Ukraine as they have hundreds of thousands of troops amassed at different parts of the Ukrainian border. There will be no peace talks. The US bombed the Nord Stream pipelines. The US has deliberately f**ked over Germany a NATO ally. With friends like that who needs enemies. Now Russia is piping their gas to China and India. They are free of the financial systems of the west. They have largely de-coupled themselves from the western economies and are more self sufficient. Now the US is itching for a war against China, which they want in 2025. Just how many wars can the US want? They just don't know when to stop.

Other societies have long standing, cultural traditions of slavery, like europeans or arab/afghan sullay, but our Sikhi thing doesn't have these antecedents, if anything, it comes (at least partially) from a strong reaction against these very types of things. I think that true spirit of Sikhi is exactly what might be motivating the people in the video to do what they are doing?
