There ideally shouldn't be, but here's a few I've seen: In JapJi Sahib, the tuk of the first pauri that begins "chupai chup...", the papa in "chup" has a sihaari in the Taksaal gutkaa (which is correct), the Budhaa Dal (and others) one does not. Budhaa Dal Chaupai and Rehraas is longer. The rakhiyaa de shabad are longer too in the Budhaa Dal gutka. The Budhaa Dal (and other Gutkas) have in general way more spelling mistakes than the Taksaal one. In terms of other Gutkas, sometimes the mangals of the Baanis are different, especially in sawaiyaa and chaupai Sahib. The Budhaa Dal gutka contains way more baani than any others. I've even seen one Gutkaa app that puts the mangal before the sirlekh i.e. rather than "Ramkali Mahalaa 3 Anand Ik Oankaar Satgurprasaad", it says "Ik Oankaar Satgurprasaad Ramkali Mahalaa 3 Anand", which is a clear beadbi. Please avoid such apps and report where you can. That's all I can think of at the moment...

Because he is an incarnation of Shiv Ji Maharaj

There are many different views about 1984. Unfortunately, anyone who does not fully agree with Sant Giani Jarnail Singh Ji or the Khalistan movement is automatically labelled a "sell-out". And please don't forget, Baba Santa Singh Ji helped get many Singhs released from jail.

Why do you need to go? Was it intentional? No. There's a story in the Sau Sakhi, where a Sikh gets caught by the Mughals, has his hair forcibly cut and forced to eat kuttha. They then release him and he comes back to the 10th Guru. He tells the Guru everything and asks, Am I still a Sikh? The Guru said yes, as it was not your fault. The Guru did not require him to re take Amrit. Look, do what you want for your own piece of mind, but for those who insist that you do need to retake amrit, please can you provide any reference where something has happened by accident which requires retaking amrit? Many thanks

This absolutely still happens in the UK. All the people running the Gurdwara lists are Jatt, majority of the people on the list are Jatt and majority want a Jaat or their own caste. I can't tell you the sheer number of times I would find a a girl who's criteria matches mine right down to the most tiny detail, but it can't be progressed because I'm not a Jatt. You'll even come across some aunties who say that the criteria matches and he is a nice boy, "just a shame he ain't Jatt". And before you ask, Amritdhari families are just as bad (if not worse) when it comes to caste. I've come across dastaar wearing girls from Gursikh families who still peddle the caste crap. And the sad irony is, that none of there people know anything about the caste system. Ask them, what does the word "Jatt" actually mean? Where do jatts come from? Who was the first Jatt? Where is the caste system from? Who made it and why? It's unfortunate, but true. I'm almost 33, and this is still the biggest thorn in my side. Guys and girls of this generation: please grow a pair and tell your parents to drop the caste crap. It's time we put this bullsh1t to rest once and for all, it else future generations will never forgive us. Choice is yours...

Bringing back to the original question, you can definitely see on the Gurdwara lists that there are many more over 30s than under, for boys and girls. Being a guy, one of the biggest problems I've seen is caste. No matter if all the other criteria match, the caste always seems to come in the way. I honestly hope that this is wiped out before the next generation. Another thing I've seen is people (especially girls) being scared of commitment. They still want to "find themselves" and find someone on the "same wavelength" as them, whatever that means. It's almost as if they've got their heads in some Disneyland cloud, waiting for their prince charming or something. Real life does not work that way. Know who you are, what you do and don't want, and what you can and can't compromise on. And draw up a criteria. And for God's sake talk to your parents! I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've come across girls who have not discussed caste or any marriage related topic with their parents. If two people start getting to know each other and build a relationship, but when the parents find out they have some kind of problem with caste etc. what you gonna do about it? Stand your ground or break the guys heart? So please get all this stuff ironed out before you play the grown up games, otherwise just sit on the side lines like the rest of the kids.

Ang 433 ਦਦੈ ਦੋਸੁ ਨ ਦੇਊ ਕਿਸੈ ਦੋਸੁ ਕਰੰਮਾ ਆਪਣਿਆ ॥ ददै दोसु न देऊ किसै दोसु करमा आपणिआ ॥ Ḏaḏai ḏos na ḏe▫ū kisai ḏos karammā āpṇi▫ā. Dadda: Do not blame anyone else; blame instead your own actions. ਜੋ ਮੈ ਕੀਆ ਸੋ ਮੈ ਪਾਇਆ ਦੋਸੁ ਨ ਦੀਜੈ ਅਵਰ ਜਨਾ ॥੨੧॥ जो मै कीआ सो मै पाइआ दोसु न दीजै अवर जना ॥२१॥ Jo mai kī▫ā so mai pā▫i▫ā ḏos na ḏījai avar janā. ||21|| Whatever I did, for that I have suffered; I do not blame anyone else. ||21||

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).

All things considered, it was a nice documentary

All I can say is, it doesn't matter if the girl is Amritdhari or not, she belongs to a jatha or not etc. In fact, I've found that the Amritdhari girls are the ones (for a significant part) who don't have their heads screwed on straight, and their families are the biggest caste-peddalers you'll ever see. Whilst OP may be too young to get married, it takes years to find the right person, so no harm in looking from now. As long as the core values are there, then everything else should be fine. One final thing. Do not gamble with your heart and get it broken. Clear up any misconceptions/criteria in the beginning. If there are deal breakers, move on. I've seen this too many times and an honestly sick to death of people who want to do the whole "girlfriend/boyfriend" thing, but don't stand up for their relationship. Either don't start it, but if you do, see it through to the end. God bless

Jug means an age. This does not necessarily have a set amount of years. For example, according to the sanatan traditions, kaljug is 432000 years in length (we're about 4500-5000 years in to it). The previous jug, Dwapar, was twice this, 864000. Prior to that, Treta jug was double that and the prior Sat jug was double Treta. And before all of these, Gurbani talks of "36 jugs" of nothingness. These 4 jugs are cyclic in nature. As such, there is no set defined length of a "jug", merely that it is an age. As far as your second point goes, it could mean he is talking of the Gurgaddi, or his own Guru i.e. Guru Amar Das Ji. But I'm not entirely sure. Maybe someone more learned could give you a more complete answer?

Could I ask (as an extension to the original question) about dancing? Personally I believe (much like profane music) that it is not allowed. However, if we were to be asked about evidence from Gurbani (and let's face it, we always are) then what quotes for proof can we give? I usually say that there is no evidence from the Gurus bani (Aad Dasam Sarbloh), bhai Gurdas, bhai Nand Lal, any ithihas (panth parkash (parcheen/naveen), suraj prakash), janam sakhi, mahapursh bachan etc etc that allows dancing within Sikhi. However, usually people who try and view Gurbani with a black-and-white/abrahamic mindset try to say that there is no explicit "command" that forbids it. Would like to know the Sangat's thoughts on this, and how they would answer such a question.

I didn't miss anything training with him, as I had the intellectual understand to simply walk up to him and ask him any question , and he was always more than happy to explain. It's not rocket science
-
And again, let's stop side-tracking, eh? If you have answers or evidence, please share. No point in making useless comments. And I actually have states on a number of occasions over the years. I did used to train under him. Unfortunately, due to my own work and family commitments, I couldn't continue my training, but am grateful for the time I did spend training under him.
-
Again, let's' break it down. Have you trained under him? What is your experience? Have you asked him? Etc. As far as lifting weights goes; one does not become a good fighter simply by lifting weights. I know of many martial arts masters, for whom lifting weights/muscular strength is not in any way a core part of their training regime. As far as eating sausages goes, nihangs do eat meat. And the great thing about sausage is, you know it's never gonna be halal! Still waiting on evidence against SV.....

@Singh123456777, Bro, still waiting on your evidence. ....

I've studied various martial arts for many years as well, and I say it is the real deal. But let's leave subjective opinions out for a second. You say he studied with different instructors of different arts. Do you have any evidence to back up this bogus claim? Who are these phantom instructors? How come they haven't come forward with this magical claim that you've just made? If you look at the various seminars Gurdev Niddar Singh has done with other instructors, they all say it' the real deal. Of course there's some overlap, there always is. That does not constitute plagiarism. For example, a "tiger-style" of fighting will be similar across different martial arts, because it is based on the same animal. Ideological differences aside, every time this topic pops up, I always look for the evidence behind the bogus claims that people make. But in every situation, much like yours, there is no evidence. What a pathetic plight, that the whole world accepts SV as the real deal, except our own people! Awaiting your thoughts and evidence Bro. ...
