Bless your cotton little white socks Ford Capri. When you do Naam Abhiyaas on a daily basis it becomes a daily reharsal. What better performance in life than sitting together and doing naam simran. Try it some time, in between your other AGENDAS...

Well...Let's do ardaas that Babu Maan becomes a Khalsa one day and becomes Babu Singh Khalsa and does lots of relevant parchaar around the world... And let's do ardaas that those people who are using this issue to attack Baba Ranjit Singh realise that theres a lot of relevant parchaar that is being done..Ultimately, there's no escaping from the fact that we have to take amrit one day and take on the Khalsa rehat...otherwise there's no point to all this 'Kharkoo'pana if we still walk around not wanting to look like our GURU..

Suprise Suprise...Another thread revolving around..Slander....Nindya...Mud Slinging....No evidence..blimey, us youth are sure gettting good at this!! We must be making your parents proud!

LOL. What I find funny about the kalgi story is that I wore a proper Kalgi (like the ones shown above) when I got married, no one made an issue of it. Like millions of Punjabi grooms I walked into the darbar sahib with my Kalgi and no one said anything, even the kharkoo committee walay didn't say anything. So my question is when does someone wearing a Kalgi become an issue?? How come none of these passionate panthic soormay challenge the millions of bridegrooms (probably your own brothers or cousins) walking into darbar sahib with their kalgis apparently doing the beadbi of Maharaj and nit-picking a khanda or chand tora on a dastar as being a "massive problem". Issues are so hand picked in order to get personal grieviences out...

Interesting way of looking at it!

Mr Ford Capri, I think seeing if your Pug stays on your head is more important than seeing what side your bread is buttered. You must really live in the land of fairies if you think that the BNP want you in this country. Please I beg you to turn up at their next meeting in a kesri dastaar and watch your brown behind get chased out!

Hoshyarpuriya, What have you done for Sikhi or what do you do for Sikhi? Please enlighten us. There's more to Sikhi then just putting 5p coins in the golak and thinking you've done your bit.

There was a time when folk singers were just folk singers and their fans only expected folk songs from them. From folk singers to pop idols to wannabe mahapurshs. I find it hilarious that this topic has dragged so so on,, Judging from Babu Maan's fans reactions, you'd think some next mahapursh has become pargat. Who needs christian missionaries or dehadhari gurus when you got these mahan 'panth de ratan' monay portraying their non-rehat, kes katal, sharabi/kebabi, dancing with bibya in mini-skirts, "slip in a quick panthic geet", convenient version of Sikhi! Jai Baba Babu Maan Di! Jai Baba Jazzie B Di!

Khalsa Aid openly invites sewdars to go to these places and help. Some Singhs have taken holiday off work to help in these sewas. As a modern culture, we are not the type of people to sacrifice our time, expenses, annual leave for others contrary to our Sikhi philisophy and our text book portrayal. Khalsa Aid are doing an excellent job. All we need to do is not put all the burden on just a handful of individuals.

Oh Ford Capri, my poor niave ill-formed young veer!! You still banging on doing the sewa of the BNP..

you're just a paranoid vampire! what you after, monaism to be preached in Gurghars and other sikh platforms.?

LOL. People are really using this topic to get there personal issues on Baba Ranjit Singh out, from our our tini weeni Sikhsangat users to the larger Punjabi media....

If it was not for the Granthi's, no one would be doing any sewa in the Gurdwaras. Let's face it, who is sitting in the Gurughar at 4am when Maharaj's sawari is brought in?? Most of us are hitting the snooze buttons on our alarm clocks... The Granthi bashing is usually an excuse to blame your sikhi shortcoming on someone else.

Or we can make an effort to learn that Punjabi language our ancestors spoke.

There's some serious 'karchi koling' going on here!!

Let's pass the buck of our lack of commitment onto them Granthis. Let's be lazy, but expect the Granthi to be committed. Lets pay someone else to do sewa so that we can moan about them and then kick their behinds for not meeting our job spec....Let's sleep in during amritvela but expect the Granthi to be up doing the sewa of Maharaj..Heck, lets be dhilay and expect someone else to be pukka!

The Punjabi Bhangara Dhamrik Panthic Geets... Double standards! One minute these guys are dancing with half naked women and the next minute the wear a gol dastar and sing about the Panth!

I think you're forgeting the point that KPS Gill has been portrayed as a patriotic 'hero' in India and the Sikh Naujwaan were demonised as the evil anti-patriotic terrorist. Based on that, I suppose no actors going to object to playing him in a film.

There's some very strong postings above. It's essential to discuss this topic particularly as western society and SE taught at school seems to be encouraging masterbation more and more. We need to get a Gurmat take on this and understand the impact of masterbation on our jeevans. Please keep this topic mature as well as moderated.

The pesimists believe they have no Guru. If you are experiencing Sikhi you will feel the ang sang presence of your Guru.

Can a Sikh drink alcohol, can a Sikh cut their hair, can a sikh consume tobacco? First define your Sikhi, then decides if it's important to preserve. Don't just categorise a Sikh based on their Punjabi tribal surname or the box they tick on a government census.

LOL...Soorbir Jazzy B saves the day on the bhangra dance floor battlefield!! What a wonderful short, khanda wearing, woman exploting, patit hero....

Sounds very interesting, any chance of seeing this talk somewhere down London ways?

Apparently in Ilford, a couple of weeks ago, the groom and his mates were smoking ciggerettes just around the corner from the guru ghar whilst they waited for the bride side to all arive. He was wearing the full works, the kalgi, temproray floppy pug, temproary beard and the fake kirpan. Everyone could see them including all his relatives and normal Gurdwara sangat. No one supposedly said anything and the resident granthi jatha just carried on with the wedding. No one's bothered anymore about how un-Sikh we have become.
