This is a very tough situation. If she did do something to herself, I can imagine you being in some sort of state shock as well, even blaming yourself for not acting. Number one thing that has mentioned above is to report it! It is the best thing to do to avoid another innocent victim being targeted.

Great reply by Amarjit Kaur.

Of course you can go!

If anyone tells you elsewise, they are wrong and it is because they are still living in the old thought process of looking down upon women that our gurus took us away from.

What if you wanted to take amrit and you were on your month and the only amrit sanchaar happening in your area was just at that time of the area (some areas only get blessed with once a year, frequent ones are once a month and even then many things can happen from one to next)

Here are our set of recordings:

First and foremost, we must all learn to except guru sahibs bhana.

If your brother chose to take this step, this is his life. We can only do as much to give him reason to except sikhi principles.

The truth is he is not only your brother, he is OUR brother, you have TONS of other brothers that have left their sikhi saroop and are far away from sikhi. We can not do anything but guide them and give them LOVE.

Keep giving them a hand, the love the insight into sikhi and through the power of ardas you never know one day he will believe HIMSELF (not because he has to out of GUILT from family), but he believes HIMSELF that he is lacking something.

Vaheguruu!

Gurfateh pyari saadhsangat jee

I have been with someone for almost three years. This singh and I have gotten very close over the past three years. We have decided to get married and never considered our relationship as a "dating" one. It has always been as if we are getting to know each other before marriage. I believe gurusahib is trying to wake me up in certain ways. I have realized that being with him, my sikhi is in a all time low. I should not even be called a khalsa anymore. I ignore god day to day. The only thing is when you are with a person for 3 years it is very hard to leave. Do you all think i should stop talking to him and concentrate more on sikhi? He is not a bad person, it is just very hard to have both relationships at this time. I am twenty two years old. One of the big things that disturbs me if his family is not into sikhi. Not one person in his family is. I think that when a family is into sikhi it makes life much easier. Please help me because my life is confusion right now. I want to give more time to gurusahib, while it is hard to leave a loved one.

Daas

Vaheguruu ji ka khalsa, Vaheguruu ji ki fateh

I dun understand...

First you said you guys have decided to get married, and then your talking about leaving him?

Is that decision based upon what you further on went to explain that his family is not into 'sikhi' ....this big decision is not solely determined by this factor. If you think you are ready for marriage and you think he is the one, and you are at a good age, I would suggest get the families involved, get married and concentrate on sikhi together as one.

Great post!

I know of a couple of Hindu-Sikh marriages. The brides are Hindus. I am very pleased for them.

I am also extremely pleased for many Singhnees who were Hindu before and took Amrit, then married Singhs.

I see no issue with Sikhs marrying Hindus or vice verse. Traditionally my great Grandfather was a Hindu and then, his first born son (my Grandfather) was bought up as a Sikh, but still kept some traditional ways of Hindus. My family and I still follow some Hindu traditions and no there is no confusion in what we practise as a family. My father is an Amrtihdhari Sikh; he still continues to follow some of the family tradition.

I have been observing the attitudes of some of the young people in this country; they find it very hard to understand how you can be a Sikh but follow some of the Hindu traditions. Young Sikhs in this country don't understand the difference in Dharma and religion, Sikh is not a religion but a way of life (Dharma). There is no fixed phenomenon in life, there are changes every second, and we deteriorate every second of your lives. Everyone has different lives to follow; we just have to observe our friends and family the emotions they feel and how they will deal in situations. Every person has a different story of life and that is what the Sikh dharma is, it's a story of life and how you as an individual would deal with life.

I'm being very philosophical, but the Sikh Dharma is not just about what is written in front of you and you follow it, Guru Granth sahib Maharaj, is great example of how a challenge in your life and how to deal with it e.g. an Amrithdahri taking medication containing meat extracts, has to take the medication to prolong his or her life.

A religion can be put together by any one, but a Dharma can not, there is a requirement of deep philosophical thought process involved before giving a conclusion to matters in life. It is a very Christian term to explain something of different belief and to box it up.

Hindus marrying Sikhs or Sikhs Marrying Hindus is great example how dharma (way of life) comes into play.

Nicely put. Now please try to cross over a river with each of your foot in a separate boat. Unless you know swimming, you know what is going to happen, right?

The very reason Dasmesh Pita established the Khalsa was our "vilakkhanta", our distinct and unique identity. Several upon several references and quotes from Gurbani and a number of other textual and historical sources that clearly outline Sikhism's unique, distinct and different identity. This community of lions started by Guru Gobind Singh Jee does not owe any allegiance to anyone but their Guru. Guru Gobind Singh Jee said "Vaaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh". He didn't announce that His Sikhs were a sub-sect of a pre-existing community, He called them Khalsa! He didn't have them owe allegiance to gods/goddesses/prophets, He made them owe allegiance only and only to Vaaheguroo! Thus the Sikh greeting of "Vaaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh" is in itself a complete declaration of the distinct, unique and different identity of the Sikhs. If an Amritdhari Sikh chooses to follow Hindu rituals, thats his/her personal choice. Doesn't mean it is the right thing to do.

Excellent response!!

Everyone should read this over and over again

sorry what i am asking/saying is.

in the dvd i seen that the raagis hadnt finished singing by the time they had gone round maharaj, so the couple stood up until they had finished which was about 20 seconds. are u supposed to stand up until the end or can u sit down even if the raagis are still singing?

Nothing wrong but personally some remain standing out of respect.

Also it isnt wrong if the laavan are going on still and the couple have already went fully around, sometimes the kirtanee is so much into the shabad that he/she reads a line more than once or emphases by reading a line over again or adds simran in between. Its just in the moment

BUMP !!!!

Come on everyone, lets all contribute !!!

:D

Is bhai sahib coming to Toronto ?

Vaheguruu ji...

Do NOT miss out on one of the biggest smagams of the year!!

Kirtanees are coming from all over, from various jathai!!

There will be full live/video broadcast, the link which will be posted on our site shortly by tonite!

Smagam starts on THURSDAY!!

Thats fine if its just a day, but you dont need a piece of STRING to remind yourself to protect your sister! This in itself is a RITUAL which sikhi strictly is against!
