As a Sikh male, I've always felt that it is much harder to be a Sikh Bibi then a Sikh man, for the simple fact that Bibiyan must keep their leg hair, etc., in a society that deeply looks down on it, and for which people will give you soo much more crap then a turban. The Singhnis who don't cut any of their kesh, I have so much respect for them

Only five Ji, I was asking specifically about why he said that women are not allowed to participate in Akhand Paaths. It is an absolutely ridiculous and baseless claim

I am truly amazed that on a topic like this there is STILL people trying to argue against it...wow

Please could you not refer to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as a Holy Book. I'm sure you don't consider Nirankar's Bani as a book.

Relax man it wasn't a Sikh who was saying that it was just someone who was attending a wedding and doesn't know any better. As to that issue...those people who aske for Guruji to come to the hall and those "granthis" who allowed it...wow.

I just have one quick question however. A lot of people bring Guruji to their house when they have a Paath or something going on. Is that acceptable?

Sorry didn't realize you had solved the problem

Why not just tie like a 7 meter bunga and stop there? Cover your ears and everything, so it's like a keski but longer and tied into your kesh. That way it's not too big, and it's tight

I don't see nothing wrong in what they're doing ... Everyone's so quick to label and judge something as incorrect and 'anti-Gurmat' just because they're doing something that's not familiar to you or your Jatha ... You try reciting Jaap Sahib and bowing down to every Namastang, bet you can't do it!

Exactly. There are much more important issues than this

Which is why lodhi is anti sikhi

Guruji had Sikhs do Jap sahib while practicing martial arts, and they would keep intune to the beat. What the difference?

I thinks its nice to see someone bowing to Waheguru constantly while listening to Sri Jaap Sahib. Why not look at it in a positve way? They are bowing down continiously to Bani...how can this be wrong? People can say the same thing about doing parkarama around Guru Sahib. Its showing respect either way you look at it.

Yeah, why are we trying to say this is bad? These arent yoga excercises as much as they are showing devotion by bowing. The only thing is that they shouldn't be saying "down, up, eyes closed" etc. other than that what's wrong? Why do we try and divide and say, do this, not this, so often?

I would ask if it were a security blanket or a teddy bear would you give that up or would you take it to university.

...wow

When you go, don't have any alcohol or tobacco on you. Take your shoes off and put them with everyone else's, an cover your head with a cloth. Their should be some near the entrance. Go inside, and you will see Guru Granth Sahib on a platform. Walk towards it, put a dollar infront of it, and kneel down and press your forehead to the floor (matha thek). Then go and sit down with everyone else. When it is time for ardas, you will see everyone stand up, an you should stand up as well. Clasp your hands together, and when other people matha thek, you should as well. After this, you will e offered karah prashad. Take this with two hands and eat it. Now it will be time for langar. Sit on the floor with everyone else, and people will come by with plates and food. If you don't want a certain food, put your hands over your plate. Eat langar, then your done!

are you amritdhari? then you have to listen to your Panj. If they tell you not to eat, then you can't eat. According to the Damdami Taksal's Rehat Maryada, then you can't eat or drink until you put it back on.

I think Akal Takht has said its fine to remove for air travel, just do what the above poster has said

Mirpuri my friend maybe a dialect of panjabi, but they are nothing like panjabi mussalmaans. mirpuris are very much like ppl of jammu, and are very backward ppl and have no ambition, straight up, no lie. they dont let their girls wear english clothes, go for decent jobs. look at all the pak tv/radio presenters in this country they r either panjabi/pathan paks, never mirpuri. If this country had 90+% pakistanis from panjab then you would not get all this sikh vs muslim tension and tapping up/grooming of our girls, because every panjabi mussalmaan i ever met are amazing ppl and obviously just like us. for example most pakistanis in canada and scotland are panjabis, yet they have no tension with apnay sikhs in their respective places. only places where panjabi paks live in slightly big numbers are in some places like sheffield, certain parts of manchester

What's wrong with people from Jammu? My family is Punjabi but most were born in Jammu

what kind of rubber mask do you mean? do you have a pic

^wow...now I understand. Thank you

When are these elections happening? Please keep us informed about the results

Guptunknown Ji. What are sirgun and nirgun saroops? I realize that I am wrong. I am deeply sorry

As to whether or not I would do the same, of course I would love to think that I would and I can tell myself that I would. But until the actual time comes I don't know. I pray that if something like this ever happens to me, Waheguru Ji would give me the strength to do it. And of course he is a shaheed. He died trying to save his guru, trying to protect his dharam

Wow...what love he must have had for Guruji. He should be an inspiration for all Sikhs

Thank you!
