@GurjantGnostic thanks - spoke to someone in the Panj and they’ve said as it was unknowingly to do paath and ardaas. But I would’ve never have thought it! The amount of apne that drink ginger beer!

VJKK VJKF ji

Found a new drink Bundaberg ginger beer - in the soft drink aisle, had one and thought it was nice then got worried when someone told me it contains alcohol - this was on their site has anyone come across anything like this - should I be worried / contacting the Panj Pyare for pesh?: Alcohol is a by-product of this fermentation process. Before we fill the product into bottles we heat the brew to above 70 degrees C. to kill the yeast, halt the fermentation process, and remove the alcohol. After this heating process all of our products have a residual alcohol level of less than 0.5%. 

Thanks in advance !

Thank you to everyone for your responses !

I am currently undertaking Santhiya and my ustaad has set some khoj to find out what ਸਦਰਸ means.

I have searched Mahan Kosh and cannot find anything, can anyone shed any light? I’d be most thankful!

I'm sure someone can give a better suggestion than I, but if all else fails, I know there are some ladies who sew suits that will know how to make one. Worth asking around.

I'll ask around for ya too and if I get any results, I'll send you a PM.

Thank you!

I went to Rome earlier on this month and you have to go through security checks when visiting the Vatican museum.  When we went through the metal detector it buzzed but the security guard was pretty relaxed and asked us if we had any metal object on us.  We pointed to our kara's but did not display our kirpans and he was happy for us to go through.

There were also security checks to enter the roman forum and the guards here were also pretty relaxed.

There were also security checks before entering the Colosseum.   The security guard here asked us to remove our kareh but we said that they don't come off.  They then got one of us to walk through the metal detector but keep the hand with the kara on out of it so that they can check if you have any metal on your body.  Luckily the first member of our group was only wearing a kara and no kirpan, so he went through without setting off the metal detector.  Because of this the security guard then let the rest of us with kirpans on through without searching us.

Thank you! We’ve been before and done the sites (pre Amrit ) but this time round I think we’re going to take it more leisurely etc thank you for the feedback tho!

I'm not sure about actual travel within Italy, and I know you said you understand the airport situation but I saw this the other day and thought it's pertinent nonetheless:

Thank you - I saw this the other day !

Looking for some advice Sangat Jee, I will be travelling to Rome, and was wondering whether anyone had been since the “Kirpan ban”, I understand the airport security piece and will be stowing mine in checked luggage, but how about in and around the actual city and sites?

has anyone been recently?

Any guidance will be appreciated!

Ah! My Boss goes he wears a dastar. Zero problems encountered. Due to nature of work he has to go UK to Poland twice a year. Security have more awareness since a few years.

Thank you! Do you know whether he has to remove his dastar during security?

Waheguru Ji

i am having to travel to Warsaw Poland next week due to work, and have been reading up on their security guidelines. Has anyone that wears a Dastar here been recently? I have read up on the case from 2011 but can’t find anything recent?

look unless you are at home I doubt seriously you would be able to wash and change . Practically speaking our underwear will get dirty , it is expected to,  that's why we wash and change everyday/when we have to do sewa . You are trying your best to get practice and that is good , just count this as a mistake , clean up as best as you can and resolve to change yourself as soon as you are able . I have never heard of having to change immediately , you need to use your common sense , keeping safai is very important but we are not stuck in pollution mentality  such as exists in other faiths.  However if you were to do sewa in Gurdwara yes you need extra suchumta  especially for direct sewa of Guru ji so then in that case you would have to bathe and change . Same is true of abhilakees taking Amrit keshi ishnaan .

Thank you phenji, I kind of gathered that might be the case, but you don't know if you don't ask!

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

Before I write this benti to all Sangat - this is a post for advice, if you are going to come with a holier than thou attitude or ridicule then please do not bother replying!

So I have just started wearing the Panj Kakkar, as practice before I take Amrit, and I have a question about the Kacchera.

I work in in a professional role in central London, and today went to the bathroom to 'pee', I wiped my parts before re-tying my naala, when I looked down I noticed some residue on the kachera.

Now I have been told before by family members that if this happens you need to do Ardaas and change your Kacchera immediately? Is this the case?

I only ask because my family are kind of against me taking Amrit so not sure whether this is just hearsay or another way to deter me from taking Pahaul.

I don't see anyway round this as there probably will always bee some kind of residue?

Any Singhs that can provide any advice on this, will be much appreciated.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

True - but if you are married and ready to take Amrit, and your partner is not - are yo useriously telling me you will nor try to procreate ? Sikhi is a logical Dharam - if we started thinking like that our Kaum wouldn't go anywhere!

@PranaamShaheedaNu 

hello I want an answer to this.

No need for me to respond, I will be a even bigger fool than you to continue to feed your stupidity.

the point I am trying to make, none of can provide evidential proof, and our sikhi shouldn't be based on quoting words said 300 years ago. 

You are of lower intelligence, for not understanding, this simple fact - if I disagree with something, I will MOST DEFINITELY tell everyone about it.

LOL ok then - because you have full Gian of everything going on. Go troll on another site.

Sorry but I don't need evidential proof of what my Guru said - if you don't believe it then fine - move on mate - you are actually getting boring now.

@Mods seriously are you going to let this imbicle to continue to write his rubbish in this forum?
